2.4 turbo surf with 35. . . . .

[86-surf]

i thought you guys said that it would be guttles as hell?? it still goes the same as it did with the 31's (this is with 4.3 gears and the turbo boosting 10psi:D

Oh ANd i swapped my 33x13.5s (same size as 31's tho) for 35x12.5s with about 10 or so mm's of tread, all he wanted was the 10'' rims, i don't know why tho?. he owns a big safari.


SO now that we tested the 35s on the surf the body lift has to go in, the 35s rubbed on full lock and wen compressing left wheel wen turning left. and ive also found a mate who can plumb in my topmount intercooler.

Jase

Sounds like you scored a good deal on the new rubber Jase. Would bottle the Surf ; probably the only 2.4TD worldwide that didn't have its performance degraded by going from 33" (circa 31" by your own admission) to 35" tyres.

all i got was a little clutch slippage wen i change from 1st to 2nd and thats only wen gong up hill in 2wd.
It really surprized me because of what i had herd, but it will be interesting to see how it handles the body lift to.
It's a hell of alot smoother on the road to..

Ive also found a mate who can make me some balljoint spacers. so hopfuly sonnish my front end will be level with the rear.

might have to start budgeting for a clutch.... if its doing that in 2wd just going from 1st to 2nd imagine what it will do in 4wd or when your giving it some stick...

got any pics with the 35s on it yet? the surfs look mean with big rubber

[86-surf]

im in australia at the moment so no pictures until i get back to new zealand, but will be sure to upload them assoon as posible:D.

I'm going to try 35s (actual 34) on a 2LT with 60 series landcrusier diffs (3.7 ratio) so I'm expecting it to be even more miserable then the previous combination - 31s (actual 29.5ish) on 3.3 ratio diffs.

My motor is freeboosting, the most I've seen is 15psi at about 3250rpm. It didn't sound very nice but I'm looking forward to popping the motor so I can swap a 1UZ in

Where are the PIC’s! A Surf on 35's with no Body lift, would look mean

What brand of 35's did you score and how do they actually measure up? I can feel the difference going from a 31 to 33 with the a 1KZ ,so i cant imagine what it would be like going 29 to 35 with a 2LTE

i know i noticed a huge difference when i went from the skinny 29s to 33x12.5s on my old surf...

maybe jases' is the ultra rare grunty 2lt....

[allmud]

i had a non turbo 2.4 hilux went good with 33s but when i went to 35s man it sucked no power at all on road and off road not mutch better
good luck with your surf tho it will look way cool with 35s on it

[86-surf]

haha it doesnt look that good from the front but the back looks meen.. ill take some pictures b4 i put the body lift in.. . . and I'm not sure but there about 4 inches bigger then the 33's/31s 35'' wen we put them up beside eachother


can't re-member wat brand they are but will have a look wen i get back to new zealand.

[gimmemud]

Good luck getting out of 1st in 4H. my old 2lt didn't even like 33s in 4H.

anyone wana gamble how long the front diff lasts...
i have a brand new diff locker for an ifs surf i would consider selling

[Engineer]

i have a complete diff with near new locker that will also be for sale in a months time. 4.88 and lockers been on only two trips.

[86-surf]

HOw much??:D

I don't think the front diff will last very long at all but hey, things were built to be broken. ATleast thats how i think its goes?
