Outer Limits 4x4 Board

come on. who wouldnt want a turbo zook?
someone should buy it, spoa it and put sum 33's on.
now that would be a awsum drive

how much r u willing to pay?
im guessing you want a leaf spring sierra...get a model inbetween 87 and 97 and u should be fine.

pre 1987 - 2inch body lift, 2inch suspension, 2 inch shackle
87 onwards - 4inch suspension lift, 2 inch body
correct if im wrong

the V6's would use way to much fuel.
rather get a late model turbo diesel
plenty of grunt and wont b hard to find

depends what the model of rig your going for.
a solid axle hilux is alot cheaper than a GU...
cheapest rig, leave moire money for mods

is there much advantage changing the diffs???
anyone know what the ratio's are of the bundys??
if they are lower than the hilux's they could help with the gearing

any diesels arent meant to rev as quickly or as high as a petrol but 3000rpm sounds quite bad. how old is the engine?? it might just have dirty oil or didnt get serviced very often.

just from how much u clear the 35's im guessing it has a 2inch sagged spring lift and 2 inch shackle lift plus the bodylift. and it might have the front spring perches moved forward? measure the shackles and if theyr over 200mm they r extended

climax shackles are meant to improve flexing and will give u a lift
better quality 4wd shocks will also help maybe sum adjustable rancho's?
they r the 2 that come off the top of my head

The muffler would determine the overall sound coming out wouldnt it?
and how much were u planning on spending maybe a turbo?
cant help u out with the chip havnt heard of one but there should be 1 somewhere.

im just thinking out of the box...
it sounds like she would want an old vitara? if its going to be and onroad car
and you would avoid the agricultural ride, noise, handling and a conversion wouldnt be necessary

any real reason for a turbo-diesel??? they arent a very common or easy conversion rather go for a popular one such as a Vitara 1.6 efi etc.

jeez thats the cheapest ive heard someone putting one in for. nice work!
how many hours did you put into the conversion???
any pictures yet?

it will take a while to sell someone out there will find just wat ther looking for, for under half the total buildup cost. i suppose if u wanted to build a zook up simalar to it, may aswell buy it

would the diesel still run well with 2.5 with no mufflers without the turbo???

haha from what ive heard theyre meant to give it a kick
all parts do deteriate

it depends on how much u want to spend.
the ovious are bigger extractors, exhaust, air filter/snorkel, turbo, new glowplugs etc

thats where you start dreaming of a big V8 hilux

haa all hilux's are slugs we hired a 04 3.0l diesel n/a and was still a slug 120 tops!
my theory is u need a turbo on every diesel out there

there are hundreds of posts about how to get power out of a hilux
so it wouldnt be too hard to find

so whats worth the money then guys??

sounds good. do you know when its going on yet? so you can tell us how it goes

sum sort of gearing would help. and extra transfer case or diff gears?
i dont no wat the best set up is maybe someone with experience can comment? after that u could do basic performance mods, exhaust, air intake, fuel etc

in late 1997 they changed to IFS for a better onroad ride
before that was solid axle with not so good onroad, alot better off

hope that helps

just beat it out if it isnt to noticable it doesnt cost anything so may aswll try. and if the back panels r dented aswell chop it into a ute.

suzuki used a small turbo on the "sportier" cervo/cappucino models.
It was used on a 3-pot big block 660cc engine and starting building boost up around 1500rpm. The torque and Kw figures were about 5 less than the daihatsu. Suzuki used this model to compete with the daihatsu charade Gti.

Dave

you could cut the warn logo out and stick it in the middle but the full sticker sounds like it would look good

diff gears or transfer case gears wil help push 33's
i spose you could run it with no gears or anything it just will minimize torque
some good engine modifications would be extractors straight thru exhaust and block rebuilds etc. and turbo if you had enough $$$.

theres a place called marks adapters . they sell all adapters for alot of cars for lots of conversions so browse their website http://www.marks4wd.com/

the vitara would be the choice if your not going to be doing serious 4x4'ing in. The sierra is alot more truck like than the vit and comfort and roadhandling is alot worse again. but offroad the sierra walks alll over most 4bys. The vitara has the 1.6, they got Efi in the early 90's.
Put some fat ...
