Have seen a bit around about using LPG to boost diesels..... But has anyone had any experience using Hydrogen? Im in the process of designing an on-board electrolyser for use as a booster and hope to begin building in October once my Mill arrives. All the information so far shows good gains in both ...

yep, BIG relief!!

i mean its only just coming up to 130k now so was a bit concerned with the smoking issue!

Got 'Shell Helix' oil bottle for a catch can at the mo

so something a bit more comprehensive is next on the list!

Then a hydrogen booster once my new mill arrives!

Assuming your vacuum/solenoids etc are working correctly, disabling EGR us as simple as fooling one wire the EGR system is designed to only operate once water temp is above 60'c, so simply unplugging the wire and connector correct value resistor will keep it closed NOT RECOMMENDED. other systems re...

thinking along the lines of a T25, supposed to make them drive alot like the V6 version not sure how much ill lose up top though.... have heard the t28 is too big, which is strange since its just a t25/t3 combination, maybe the T28 from the GTiR would be too big (like .60A/R? turbine from memory). B...

yep, had a garden hose/peanut butter jar in place for a while

but getting a new turbo shortly so will make something a bit more comprehensive soon

IS my oil supposed to turn BLACK as soon as its put in the motor?? Di...

Awesome thanks! But DOH! I put 6l in without changing filter :( checking level on dipstick..... Any tips on removing excess oil? lol or is a pull the sump plug and stick it back in quickly job??! :oops: Luckily it hasnt been driven since changing the oil! Out of interest....whats the general outcome...

Hi, I bought a manual for this engine, thinking it would be a great source for general service information, and I have very little diesel engine experience Only to find even the basic, 'Engine Oil Volume' figures are missing from the GI section?? Has a nice table of oil viscocitys vs temperature but...

Eureka!

lol, had wondered about it that initially but dismissed the idea as there were no contact marks around the area.


but yes it was touching!


Thanks!
Adam

does anyone round lower hutt/ wellington have a terrano rev count lying round I can use to test mine?


rev count moves but not consistent with revs / kinda sluggishly


cheers

hey all, can anyone recommend a replacement turbo? I know that the T25 will work (as fitted to later model Terrano / Mistral) but is it a good upgrade? from what Ive been told it isnt any bigger, but has a slightly smaller exhaust so spools up a bit quicker and I saw a T28 on Tardme that had been bo...
