blackxt

Can any one let me no were I can buy u bolts to suit three inch lowering blocks. I tried pedders but they were to short . And the rest I seen only come with blocks as well that I don't really need.

Yeah I've heard there different but never tried. When I convert my ute to 5 speed I'll try the ea pedals I have. <br /><br />Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

I have a cheep Chinese sand blast cabinet I do every thing alloy with it . Then satin clear if I can be bothered . Its the best for motorbike swing arms and so on. Paint striper and a pressure cleaner would work but be very messy<br /><br />Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

Dohc don't fit under the bonnet. And are coil on plug. Are expensive to upgrade . Sohc I belive is the best option. You can get good tune chips for $200 . Abit more comp and a decent cam and a sohc is going to out perform dohc any day and for half the money. <br /><br />Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

You can tint some tub liner paints in a few different colours . I used some on a mates ute . It was tinted red. Looked good. Needed 4 cans for good coverage. Can't remember the brand but I'm sure any helpfull paint shop should steer you in the right direction. I found it best to crank the reg on the compressor right up and spray it with really hi pressure. The stuff covers imperfections really well. I filled 4mm rust holes with it. <br /><br />Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

Has any one changed a heater core on a xg/ xf . Is it a full dash out job ? Just was changing hoses on my ute and the fitting for the ute came with the hose .

nah I just cut all the ac stuff out . I couldn't even put a hose on that pipe if I wonted. Good idea non the less Thom. Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah I thought as much . Think I'll just run without a heater for summer until I'm ready for a 5 speed. Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2

Free up the exhaust . Mine uses a stock system I removed the front muffler from it was $105 new. Plus 20 dollar for abit of pipe to fill were the muffler went And Extractors would be a good place to start . A j3 chip might be the go after that . I've just fitted a largeish wade grind and a custom j3 on LPG with the good exhaust. See what it turns out in s few weeks power wise. Cost me a fair bit to do as I've had the head reco and I cleaned then ports up abit my self . I've spend nearly 2000 to do the head and cam and adjustable cam gear and j3 chip . And that's me doin all the labor . Minus recoing the head. Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah there fine. I've put heaps of motors in with them . Don't scratch any thing ethier Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2

Awsome thanks for the advice. Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2

I got this one . It was the only one on ebay. Hopefully its OK quality. Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2

Haha there you go. And that's it there is so many factors . Tuneing being one of the bigger . Setting limits. Don't go crazy boosting it up straight away. Baby steps . Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2

Gareth with that silver xf has Jason old hemi roded crosflow . It just had acl duralights I'm pretty sure . Geds XE has cast pistons . Igors zl has cast pistons . Um IMO 300rwk is an achievable and reliable limit for cast pistons. If your tune is good . Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2

I ran a exedy cushion button. And I had the plate modified from more clamping force. In a turbo xf xflow. It worked well.

im building a tank for a mate of mine , heres the valves you need to build a twin outlet tank Uploaded with ImageShack.us

My friend played with his car . Its a fairly hot 4ltr . Petrol tune he made and extra 50 HP by removing his 225 . There pretty restrictive. Thought was with two the engine should breath better . Don't so much need the gas but the extra flow.

Does any one no if you can just change the air valves around to make a 225 feed back into a clean air and block up the unused holes . Or is the body different .

Thanks for the info . My xg has a gas ring and the ute is off the road for a tidy up . Fitting a 1673 wade grind and just a tidy up in the ports . I'm going to bid on a 225 and converter thats feed back and ill just stick a clean air vavle in it. Later on I'm thinking broadband manifold and twin 225s.

What I do is machine locators that sit in the axle tube and inner bearing housing run a long peice of chrome bar through the housing . Cut the axle tubes off half way down the tube . Part off the tube to shortended length and weld it back together . As long as you make sure the bar still slides its pretty well inline. Mind you the chrome bar I use it worth 1000 or more dollars and I have a decent lathe as well.
