Outer Limits 4x4 Board

the turbo to look for is a TD04 turbo off WRX and evo standard rally turbo that alot companies like MTQ use. you could pick up one these very cheap and modify to suit as well.

Closest so far....

The WRX turbo is a different spec to what DTS uses. The Turbo your looking for is a TD05 something ...

OK, I sold the original PIG some time ago & bought a nissan patrol GQ than did the whole build thing on that, but I have always regretted retirering the original PIG.
After the big ROLL / BACKFLIF we converted it to an extra cab feroza, although she looked the part, & went good I still mised the ...

retail price is around 900 a side.

priced it a while back when i broke one, beter off getting good second hand ones.

Fuel cut off solenoid.

The wire to mine was dodgy, and would stall when below a certain rpm.

clean the spindle and make sure there is no damage.

make sure the actual hub itself isnt damaged either.

Dust seals tend to let go, getting crap in the bearings, and this happens !!

Oh, and make sure you put the spacer rings back in !!!

Good Luck to Team Jaffa - Jeff Redman and Jason Forssman.

Hope the truck holds together.

are you certain its the p/s pump? i thought the same, ended up being the A/C compressor bearing.

From personal experience, the Xterrain isnt bad, very little lateral grip, tends to spin on the rim at lowered pressures, and like to get mud in the beads.

Fairly thin sidewall.

good straight line grip, need to drive them.

Ive been in a 2.8 GU that has been converted to an RB25DET and i can tell you its a good thing.

The RD28's injector pump shit the tin, and it was going to cost roughly $2500 to get it recoed, and replaced.

$2500 also bought a complete RB25DET from an R34 Skyline, with pretty much EVERYTHING you ...

The Watchdog i decided to place in the most vulnerable place i knew of on a TB42, the head.

Its designed to be used where the vehicle owner does not want to "break" into the original cooling system. That was what appealed to me.

I like to know whats going on with my engines, so i fit the following in addition to the factory guages.

1). A low coolant alarm from www.enginesaver.com.au

2). An Engine Watchdog TM2 Digital Temperature Guage and Alarm from http://www.sig.itel.net/

The combination of both of these have saved 2 ...

I'm going to sell the tb42 with intercooler, turbo, manifold, haltech ecu, etc etc etc, tuned by pgs with dyno sheets etce etc etc when it comes out.

If your interested I can pm all the specs on whats been done as its a long long list belive me. It will go into the classifieds with pics on here ...

What are you doing with the turbo gear from the TB42? or is this another truck ?

I think you only have to ensure your cables to the battery are upgraded in size to handle a 180 amp surge. Thats all I did when I went from 90a to 200a in my GQ. I had two cables made up using 600a welding lead cables - I was running to two isolators though. I am assuming the control wiring is the ...

going down this path also.

Have most of the efi stuff here ready.

Dont know what gas system you currently have, but i have got an impco 300a setup.

This means ill have to change it over to suit the efi, as the 300a doesnt suit.

from what ive read, the std efi ecu and injectors will work ok up ...

bubbles in coolant = head gasket to me.

Get a chem check and hope its just a head gasket or broken head stud bolt and not cracked head.

Thanks Coxy, most helpfull.

ill have a read. If im still not sure ill take it somewhere and ask nicely.

Hi all,

Looked/searched for an hour or so, lots of info on 2.8 and 3.0, but not much on 4.2 non intercooled models.

Just picked up some Autometer boost and EGT gauges aswell as a pillar pod to put them in.

I have a 99 GU ST, Factory 4.2 Turbo non intercooled model.

Where have people got the ...

for that price id be interested. Any links, pics or contacts?

The Kingswood....YOUR NOT taking the Kingswood......Ive just ironed the mudflaps.

sounds identical to what happened to a fellow member over new years.

Turned out to be the spline stripped out of the torque convertor, have been told its quite common.

Still turned out to be around the $1000 mark to fix.

Gazza

how much for yours

Would be interested on some opinions also.

Im in the market for a GU ( see wanted add )

And ive been set on a Diesel, but recently come across a clean looking 4.5 dual Fuel.

What is one to do ?

Yes those will be balance or vacuum lines i would think, and need to be there or the car will lean out, and kaboom, backfire.

Did you put on a new Airbox? or did you just connect the pod filter to the Air Flow meter?

If you put on a new airbox, then install a threaded connection that you can ...

I have the thermistor mounted to a lug that is mounted under a head bolt. Gives an indication of real engine temp and if I ever loose all my coolant I'll know about it because engine temps will shoot up and hopefully I'll be able to shut it off before blowing the engine.

My controller is going to ...

Thanks guys,

I have already built one of those Jaycar Voltage Switches, and unfortunately, the temperature sender in the maverick doesnt output a voltage, its only the one wire type. So i need to get a new temp sender anyway.

Ill keep looking into it.

Ive been looking for a digital temperature display with fan controller for ages, and the best i could find was this one:

Turbo the TB42.

that is all...........


Just kidding.

I say that because of a number of reasons. The TB42 is a tough motor, and likes being turboed, it has low enough compression ratio to run decent boost. Its relatively simple to do, and you dont have to change engine mounts, or get adaptor ...

Absolutely correct, and im looking for one myself.......if anyone knows where i can get one at a reasonable price....

Pro's:

* Good straight line grip
* Good in most terrains.
* Handle well on the road
* Wear rate seems good

Con's:

* Sidewalls are too thin/weak - seen first hand three sidewall tears on three different trucks, all 35's, tore from the bead to the tread

* Tend to spin on the rim too easily. Would ...
