Re: introducing myself

Hi all..thanks for the chat Marc, I have been off the internet for 2 weeks due to building renovations at home and of course flew off to Zambia and Angola for a week.
Identifying stolen vehicles from South Africa there.
No Marc, nor Ferrari's but all of them Toyota Prado`s !!

Re: Alternative gearbox for 2.5 or 3.0

The six sedan gearbox is rather a crappy affair. I would rather use the BMW Getrag 5 speed long ratio or 5 speed dogleg short ratio box. They center up on the six sedan bell housing but do need a 10mm adapter plate as the gearbox input shaft is 10mm too long. I would also not use the six sedan diffe...

Re: GTV6 Zender

I have never seen the caliper break off like that ! Every single one Ive seen or attended to ripped the studs from the ally housing !
repairable by welding all up again and re doing the hole for the stud .

Re: Adaptronic...? Or Dizzy...?

Garth,dont know the adaptronic at all..will Google and have a look for you. I have a philosophy when it come to these modified cars. Keep it real simple. I use a dizzy with rotor and plug leads,re curve the dizzy for the turbo application and its dead reliable. As humans we want the latest and great...

Re: 3 liter, 24 valve engine project

Both made by the same company.Kevins designs.
Made on jigs that kevin spent hours on perfecting.
If it was not for this guy a lot of conversions would not be happening.

Re: 3 liter, 24 valve engine project

Nothing wrong with the headers.3mm? Take it off,no problem.
The silvery ones are simply Powercoated,thats all.
Mats,yes,plenty of clearance.Things are not just thrown into a box and hope that it all works.
Kev,told you-not worth getting involved. :roll:

Re: Few pics of single turbo install-Barry

Garth,theoretically she should be making no more than 240 wheel hp.All my "std" conversions do that. I experimented with the actual turbo as I was politely informed by the younger generation that I was still a dinosaur with my turbo selection. I went the Turbonetics route after some carefu...

Re: Few pics of single turbo install-Barry

Hey Carel..(Thanks for all the help btw...)
No,Yours will be "softer" as such..Id rather have it come on boost low down and sacrifice 100hp up top than having a ball breaker...
Makes for a more enjoyable car as well..especially at your age.. :wall: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
