The Pajero

Postby Crash bandicoot » Sun Jan 10, 2016 8:47 am

So I brought a new truck over Christmas.
Paid 1500 for this with a suspected head gasket issue, turned out to be a split heater hose and a worn out water pump.

Scored these off mattman, quick wire brush and paint, slotted and moved the bumper for 10-15 mm and fitted on with no lift n no rub.

Good to see ya don't waste time getting stuck into the mods. What other plans you got for it?

I've only got 1 on my spare engine (my brother stole my other one!) and not keen on breaking up the engine. I'll let ya know when I've got a spare.

That'll go real good! I've got a compete twin turbo gto motor here as well, going to find a home in one of my pajeros at some stage :roll: didn't realise ya could just swap the heads tho.

Any reason why supercharging over turbo out of interest?

From what. Have been told even though the 6g72 in the paj is the same as the gto there are a few bolt holes abcent in the front of the sohc block namly one for the extra can belt idler.

Supercharger is easier and less plumbing I may even just supercharge it in its current form without remapping the ecu since its a bit hungry anyway might level out the a/f ratio a bit.

Oh yep that makes sense. Bloody solid motor the sohc 6g72, a few of us over here have/had them and gees they take a beating!

There was a bush truck paj on Facebook a few months ago and he had a SC14 on it where the power steering pump was, just sucking thru the factory throttle body and AFM, blowing straight in the plenum and he said it ran sweet as a nut and went hard! :twisted:

What sort of supercharger are u looking at using?

Thinking of using 3.8 Commy s/c and modify the 3.0 valley cover to suit so the pulley lines up with the 3.0's serpintine belt.

Didn't need to do anything to mine to fit 33's being a 95 the body has a factory lift for the 3.5 option.

I did the flip on mine to increase down travel after winding up the torsion bars to fix the front end sag they all end up with. I used 12.9 grade cap screws so they shouldn't break... Touch wood.

I thought I was going to have to wind the torsions etc but after talking to club member who used to work for mitsi gave me a lot of insight and tricks directly related to the 95 model year being the change over period from 4d56 to 4m40 and 6g72 to 74 namely the 40 mm body lift to fit the bigger trans behind the 3.5/4m40

Yep I knew about the extra lift. I didn't know they all got it tho. Thought it was just the ones with the 3.5 and 2.8. Mines a 3.5 manual, still gave it a body lift tho just because :roll:

But the front of mine was sagged a lot so wound the torsions up so it's about 10mm higher in the front, I like that look. Then done the flip to increase down travel some more.

On the broken one it was flipped but the bolts came loose and fell out, it dose get evil treatment though!

Yea it was just the 3.5 & 2.8's and it was in 1993 they got the lift to clear the larger gearbox. The smaller engines models that were still sold alongside have the smaller gearbox still
