Outer Limits 4x4 Board

for anyone interested in the orange Zook i have bought it off Matt Pisani after tuff Truck. I am doing a few little things to it like having a vitara 1600 turbo motor custom built. capable of 200 kwts at rear wheels but will have it running 100 kwts at rear wheels with triple the toque. Running forged pistons, 200 sx turbo, microtec computer, twin cam multi valve head with a cam set up for low RPM boost kick in ect.

plan is that the zook can now get out of low low gear and actually get up a hill climb and out of a bog hole. this should bring the points up in willowglen and nissan trials this year.

Costing me about $5k then fitting on top..

sounds good

though it was always funny to hear the little thing screaming its ass off going nowhere

can i ask what u brought it for?

can't say sorry part of the deal. but it will continue to be sponsored by M&M and ABT 4x4 plus i have a finance company that has come on board. as well as the motor i have to do hi mount winch, cromolly CV's and forged axels from Dobbin. With that it should handle the power and of course a dirty big turbo note will make it sound less of a joke. (hopefully)

plus in Willowglen it will have 37inch rubber so not sure how it will go exactly but should turn better and have more punch.. pitty no rock crawling stages!

sound good, will be good to see it on 37's, it allways seemd over tyred to me.

I need more power too

yeah agreed. the 46s have 2psi and still barley mash up.. soft 37s might suit the weight well

do you have a stocker engine to?

thats gonna be 1 highly strung 1.6, those skinny conrods are goin to be crying for help

getting mazda conrods from one of their turbo motors. sposed to be heaps stronger

what did it end up coming in the tuff truck...do u think it would have went beter with a larger motor and smaller tyres. are you going to do any other mods to improve it further?

came third by 3 points so pretty much a tie for 2nd. it broke a CV and had 3 wheel drive for the frame twister, didn't have enough power to get up the rocky horror hill climb and not enough power to get out of the bog hole so i say more power and stronger CV's it iwll nail it.. however Peter was way ahead in first place so ??????

yep ncei trucj m8 have you got some pictures of it at yours not the ones of tuff turck

yeah pics would be good

yep, stock as a rock

got plenty of pics.

one is attached from appin

ur head looks pretty close to the cage?
can u wear a helment?

dosent look like u will have enuff room

That things awesome!!!!

do you run leaves up fornt aswell or coils?

Pretty sure its air shocked up front, and some kind of linked leaf setup in the rear?? am i right??

Brock.

who's building your motor ??

Saw this at supertrucks, pity they didn't have anything decent for it to drive

is this zook road regoed? or did u just take a risk out at apin?

yes it is road registered but with smaller tyres and guards. like it will be at Willowglen.

Super trucks was good fun but nothing challenging at all. was just playtime and how about Pip's FJ40. that would be the nicest truck i have ever scene.

May have a change of plans on the motor. Pip with the FJ wants to put a Lexus v8 in it with GQ diffs front and rear. that will be 220 kwts standard with another 2 inches a side in the foot print. fucking can't wait

Rear is a 3 pack leaf with a 3 link as well. this will stay but be slightly modified to give it some more flex. Front is air shocks only. thats is like a motor bike front shock. spring, nitrogen and air all inside. really good but has no negative spring so like Pip has we are going to put a sway bar in the front so i can do doughnuts and hook it ect at speed then releas it for crawling and maximum flex

no head room at all. helmet was getting smashed at super trucks. i can drop the seat by about 30mil only so poor posture will have to stay...

Also putting 4x light force 240 blitz on top of cage and some skid pans underneath so it doesn’t catch on shit when I am trying to get up steps like the bog hole at tuff truck

Those tyres despite being too stiff made it as capable as it is

It walked the mini wiriba in the fastest time, wouldnt have driven the frame twister with a broken CV on 37s and how many actually made it to the last ledge in the mud run

More power and those tyres will be awesome, provided the driveline can hold it

i agree with humpy it wont do aswell on 37s the bigger the tyres the better in tuff truck.

I am doing a few little things to it like having a vitara 1600 turbo motor custom built. capable of 200 kwts at rear wheels but will have it running 100 kwts at rear wheels with triple the toque. Running forged pistons, 200 sx turbo, microtec computer, twin cam multi valve head with a cam set up for low RPM boost kick in ect.

With all that extra rubbish put into it, the series 3 t/c will be minced in seconds.

it has a trimatic box which is built for a v8 and all the insides of the transfer case has had an upgrade so it will handel the extra power. the rear diff, front cv's and axels will get upgraded though

What's been upgraded?

are you sure you can 200kw out of a 1600 zook motor ?

sounds awefully tempremental to me.

why stick with zook gear?

why not just fit a SR20 turbo motor ?

im not bagging your shit, matty built an awesome machine

but if you want to make those 46s sing, you want some healthy torque

you could even squeeze a rover alloy 8 in there which would have heaps more potential

didnt sam put a rover 8 in his vit ?

but maybe im wrong, maybe the 1600 has potential ?
