Post by dirtaddict »

Hi guys i have a new dts system for a gq patrol, td 42 and i`m having trouble understanding how the airbox fits , this is a gu stye corner one round which is what they supply with the gq kit now , problem is there are no holes in the thing and no brackets ,, to top it offf even if it did the bonnet wont close as its too tall with a 3 inch outlet right on top of it ?
Anyone seen this? got any idea`s

Any pics?
Mine came with the one that goes over the rear of the engine.
Checked the DTS site and it still shows the above engine type

I fitted a GU ZD30 box to my 95 GQ, I had to cut the bonnet reinforcement underneath in that corner, i did it very carefully with the angle grinder and a thin cutoff wheel. only needs a 4 inch square cut out, being careful not to go through both layers of steel closer to the very side of the bonnet. Bonnet closes fine now, I was panicking for a moment. Also I found that i only needed to drill 1 or 2 small holes in the body for the original mount bolts on the bottom of the ZD30 air box, 1 hole did line up correctly.

ZD30 airbox bolt straight into a '91 GQ no cutting or drilling required unless you have a ARB 2nd battery tray then you have to cut a bit out of the battery tray

got it sorted before easter , just had to tweek an aircon hose mount , pretty happy with performance but still needs boost set and tune which is being done this week, towed 1200kg to mudgee and only had to go back to 3 rd once on bellbird hill , did cherry tree hill in 4th and was accelerating near the top, i think its got more to offer without stressing it though so gonna run 12 psi but will have to get a pyro as i think its running pretty high egt`s even at the factory set 10 psi because the engine temp got to over 3/4 going up big hills in 4th with lots of throttle , i only wound in the fuel screw 1/3 turn from where wesetrn diesel set it when i had the pump rebuilt . Looking for a front mount set up now , oh and clutch needs doin whats the scoop on clutches for good value ?
thanks
