Re: V8 Land Rover project

Some cylinder head porting I’ve started on the spare set of heads I bought ages ago. Need to get a spigoted punch made up to get the old valve guides out so I can finish them up. https://scontent.fakl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27867128_10215337952432061_4907252063503611262_n.jpg?oh=e7e03e939aea2ac96...

Re: V8 Land Rover project

Hey fellas, So I’ve moved to Tauranga and need recommendations for a place that sells scrap metal. In Dunnerz there was a place you could just wander into and they had all there scrap organised so you could pick what ya wanted and pay by the kg. Anywhere like that in Tauranga?

Re: Air filter options for a V8 110 Landy

Pretty sure the standard setup has some consideration for tuned intake design. There is a baffle plate in the center of the air box to try get even vacuum to both carbs due to the odd firing order and the long intake runner from the air box to the carb improves low down performance. I would aim to g...

Re: 2001 Pajero SWB with V8 Lexus

How did you get on with the MSII?

I am running a MSII V3.0 but fuel injection only on a 3.9L rover V8, has been running fine for five years now.

When I find some time I plan to get a trigger wheel mounted on the crank and run coil packs to try squeeze some more HP out of it.

Cheers,

Pete

Re: 1997 Cherokee air bag light

Next issue, engine surges quite badly when light throttle say 50km/hr.

Put your foot down and she's good as gold.

Is this a common thing? Throttle position sensor maybe?

Hi There, I brought a 1997 Cherokee sport because it was cheap. Put it through a wof check and one of the things it failed on was having an air bag but no air bag light. I have had a look on the dash and cant see anywhere there is meant to be an airbag light. WOF fella said some vehicles have air ba...

Re: reregistering a modified deregistered vehicle

I did this process with the v8 Landy. If you have original chassis, and body, you should be fine. It's when you mix chassis and bodies it gets harder for the certified to call it a modified vehicle. I think sometimes, in healths situation for example, the certifier may call it a FJ replica and apply...

Re: ford territory 4.0L none turbo engine what can i do?

Do some research on "chipping" the computer. There might be a plug and play chip available that could give you another 5%. Typically achieved by putting more fuel in and sacrificing emmissions when the hammer is down. Not sure what long term effects it would have on your cat converter...
