Rear diff's are easy enough to come by.. finding a LSD/auto locker for the front is a bit of a mission.

Can't complain, for what you pay for them they're cheap. Parts are cheap and the seem to go alright with a bit more boost and drive quite nicly on the road.

Could even be scolloped brake disks?

Yeah, but don't be too jealous, I had to send them back as they sagged a lot, turns out they were standard h/d not 2" raised. So they redid them. I'm still not convinced it's actually 2" raise as I didn't need a b/j flip to correct the alignment :? I think it's only about 1" raised s...

Fatal flaw in that plan, I don't have a welder

I've read most of your thread on the Mu previously, was quite jealous of the price for those rear springs... work perks eh?

I got a 2.5 downpipe off a guy from the Isuzu forums. Turns out it's just 2 off the shelf bends welded together with the appropriate flanges welded on. Would be pretty simple to replicate if you had a sample. Plus you have to fit the 3.1 oil cooler to give more room, that mounts the filter pointing...

yeah that factory downpipe with the flap it is ####### horrible!! I biffed mine straight away. I had to do some engine work after only 150ks driving when I first got it and I just could not bring myself to put such a restrictive thing back on! Yup, even more so when it jams 2/3rds closed! I removed...

took it to beach it goes ok but want to give it something to make it go a bit better found that it was a lil laggy so am thinking a turbo upgrade intercooler and exust will do a good job also want it to be reliable I never noted any laggyness, however i pick a gear to ensure rpm is over 2k if im he...

the vf10 @ 7psi was compairable to the stock turbo at 14psi. (seat of pants dyno)
I upped the boost to 11psi (reaches this at about 2000rpm).

The VF10 itself will happily go 18-20psi, depends how much you want to push the engine.

buried

Add intercooler if it doesnt have one. Free up the intake. 2.5-3" exhaust. The Subaru turbo is a vf10 from an early 90's legacy RS($175+gst from strong for isuzu), you will need to get someone to weld a snout on the front as the bolt on right angle is a pain to do anything with. I used the stan...

buried

Not that i'm a fan of Tonys (bridgestone) but i'd call them up n say i can buy 4 of them with fitting/balance/wheel alignment for $1320 and they will beat it by 10 bux per tyre? Cheaper for you than paying freight..

buried

i've spun the rim inside the tyre on 18psi, usually stick to 20-22 offroad which is all good

Real tidy. Is it me or or is the turbo invisible?

I didn't look in that much detail, thought all those vx cruisers were turbo and the stupid angles of photography dont make it easy. It does appear the pod filter comes straight off the intake manifold tho. lol

Possibly the tidiest cruizer i've ever seen on 35's...

Any info on the dump pipe? (more what turbo was attached to it?)

Recently made a hybrid vf10/standard exhaust housing for my bighorn but ended up swapping exhaust housings. The new exhaust housing(where it meets the dump pipe) doesn't allow the wastegate to operate

Cleaning the sand from under them? Almost impossible lol.

What products have you decided on to coat everything to stop rust? Been looking into this myself

Mate had many of them in their work fleet (couriers), learnt very quickly to change the radiators every 100,000k's and no more cracked heads.

Another hankook fan here, can vouch they do well in sand, mud, black top, theres no snow up there so cant comment on that side, however they've got holes for studs.

Always been a strong believer in taking vehicles to those that most frequently work on them, sure its more $ per hour but they usually take less time. When I cant be f00ked, dont have time or am out of my depth I go n see the guys at Motor tech 4x4 (blue? building down hillside in wairau) or All Tec...

Would love to take her off ya, funds disagree with me tho lol

Wouldn't put it at worth much more than market value maybe 1-2k more.

Gave them a good thrashing around woodhill on the weekend, bag out quite nicly (24psi front, 20 rear) only places I got stuck was due to bellyin

Shes a bit rough around the edges, but she does the job.
Needs a bit of a lift, pretty sure the rear has sagged 2".

Just test fittn the new alloys that i got the hankooks fitted to.

Due to lack of motivation and a bit of procrastination, i've been running them for almost two weeks?

Reports say 40-50k out of a set if pressures are right and you rotate them.

I guess alot of that comes down to how hard you drive them?

Just fitted a brand new set of 31x10.5/15. Decision was price ($750 for 4. How on earth did you get them that cheap? Good feedback so far. I have just trimmed the front bumper ends as the tyres were touching at half lock with some suspension compression. I am still wearing them in, with such deep t...

Very true. Haven't had a huge deal to do with tuning electronically controlled pumps on a diesel and didn't know that about the ct26 - good to know. Just saw the price he wants for that masterpiece, its not even a cheap upgrade. I did hear rumors that Steve Murch has some nice and reasonably priced ...
