Outer Limits 4x4 Board

have been tossing up wether to put extractors and a 2 1/4" system on my 2.8D. I cant afford the $3000 for a turbo but can get the extractors and exhaust for around $500.

Anyone that has done this what sort of increase did you notice? I pull a trailer when we go camping and am sick of changing down to 1st /2nd gear every incline i come too..

I just brought a 93 2.8D hilux with extractors on it, std exhaust it goes great 550/600kms to 55lts. power and economy doesn't change when towing my camper about 650/700kg.drove to Coffs on the weekend only a few changes down to 4th.Check with your insurance company some refuse to cover you with extractors..

i got xtractors sittin on the floor $50 buck ther yours
or u could get a 2nd hand turbo from east coast wreackers 4 around $7-800 buck like i did

Extractors are o.k got them on mine not to bad make it run better but mine is bad need of a service very bad

Wouldn`t waste ya money on them.

Brother and I both had 2.8`s, mine was just a bit faster then his before he got extractors and bigger exhaust fitted, after he had them fitted mine was still just that little bit faster.

I had them on mine, took them off to fit manifold for the turbo

safe your money mate and do it right the first time.

$800 is that for a true turbo for the 2.8 or the turbo from a surf? if its a true aftermarket job pm me the contact details please

The factory manifold is that good that little will be gained from fitting extractors. Although it will sound cool, thats about it.

Id save the $$$ for a turbo anyday.

with all the rumours of blowing engines etc:

what would u recommend for an 18 yr old motor:
headers or turbo?
