+1 for the a1000 especially if you already have a bypass reg... its pretty quiet in mine and its hard mounted in the boot they do recommend a 10 micron before and 100 micron after (could be other way around but either way course filter before fine filter after) and it works a treat.... can also use a voltage reducer on them depending on load but I haven't found a need for it

probably been asked a million times before and to no avail, but anyone know of any ready made 4v clevo turbo manifolds? suit single or twin? considering throwing a single on my ltd but was looking for something ready made before I start messing around with making manifolds and piping from scratch (or just cheating and flipping/reversing the stocko log manifolds) any help or ideas would be great cheers

yeah not a lot only one similr which is the k9 style... might just have to cut some up

anyone know if you can get these with the open top? i cant have a cap for my skid rims and don't really wanna wreck them by cutting or smashing the top cone off

and they survive being set on fire trust me! sometimes they may not fit between the trans and headers but just cut it down and reflare it mine now fits perfectly

ive got a nice set of chi 3vs, they seem to perform well but ive got the 225cc I believe which is probably a bit overkill but their smaller ones work a treat

I always found a little bit or a double flare on the old pipe helps harder to get the hose on but gives the clamps something to bit against if it starts to slip

just a quicky... anyone tried to run a drop down on a holley ultra which have the dominator sized fuel bowls??? was going to try one but don't wanna go get one then find out it wont even fit past those

hey guys just wondering what anyone has done for gearbox mount/brackets in to xf as its only got the one lot of holes there... thinking about either just making a new swanky crossmember or just extending the original one out? and opinions?

try the scuba style tanks like they use in discoveries and stuff its 3 tanks mounted together... there was an aussie company making them to suit any requirements but that was 5 years ago or so when I was fitting the stuff

ok so quick question, I have an au xr8 solid axle diff and need something beefier for my ltd so was hoping to fit that as its lsd etc etc wondering other than the obvious handbrake, brake line, bushings, tailshaft yoke etc will it fit? being different offset is it longer etc? im out at ste and cant measure it so thought id ask those in the know

I could be wrong but haha either way ive got a spool and gears to go in it if need be

its definitely coil sprung solid, pretty sure series 1 still came out solid didn't they? either way its lsd etc the guy still had the motor and everything there but it was just a wreck he bought and scrapped

ive got a heap of au and ba rims laying around anyway and its pretty much just a skid car so that should work well... cheers

the xf 6cyl mounts are in way too far, the xds sit towards the outside of the car a good 6 inches or more so plenty to fit the 3.5inch collectors in with the factory crossmember that's already notched for the exhaust just takes a lil creative engineering to make do and best thing is theres a little hole in each side in pretty much the right spot to just start opening up with a die grinder working forwards to give you bit of a slotted hole for the bolts to go through just its on a bit of an angle so a bit of a wedged spacer should seal that up nicely

well as its not exactly going anywhere near the licensing dept anytime soon ive used my original xd v8 crossmember and errr modified the xf body mounts to make her all fit as the headers I have have to sit pretty high up and were fouling on the body mounts so job sorted

ive got a hurst promatic 2 waiting nice simple classy but ratchets so should suit it well

yeah but its trying to get hold of a t5 crossmember that's the issue.... I can just make something similar motors already in now otherwise id have considered moving the mounts forward a bit

well built c4 (rollerised and 4+pinion input etc).... c6 if you want to modify extractors... shifter is personal choice and a stall built to suit what youre running, just make sure you've got a big cooler if you've got a big stall and expect to keep frying top gear whether you go c4 or c6

talk to a local mechanic... most should have some sort of program with them all on it.... if I still worked in town on cars id send one your way..

the engines themselves are only about 220/250 kg but when looking at a stand you want one that wont bow over time, that you can turn etc which is why I went a heavier duty one... still drops a little bit with a full motor on it but not too bad....

obviously soaked with lots of crc or deblock oil or something?

maybe we should start an ohs section

and don't use the real thin gloves with the grippy underside with drills or rattle guns haha/.... if they catch they grip really really well!!!

I think I used a 450kg one?
