Like I said, it was a temporary thing - they were going to be coming off and replaced with traditional 'hoops' but since they never once looked like breaking, despite the "rust", it got put on the to-do list

What type of radiator is that? (it is 4 core isn't it?)
I'm looking for a decent sized radiator for project LION HEART.

its kinda based on the 3y radiator with the tank inlets and outlets changed and made 4 core, looking at it last night thinking im gunna have to make it 50mm shorter to make it fit or put it on the deck

fans would have to go up the front, then try find room for the trans cooler :roll:

so the deck option is looking the go at the moment.

Looks like its the plan to move the shock mounts foward, allready got bigger/taller shock mounts so that should be nice and easy.. oh and jafas hi steer kit turned up yesturday

one thing i found with moving the axle forward and not the shock mounts was it makes for a hard ride if the shock is leaning back :shock:

as for putting radiator in the tray best thing i ever did :wink:

bit of fannying around routing pipes but well worth it

philux · Post by **philux** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 6:44 am

bit of an update, got the frnt springs sitting in, frnt drive shaft is way to short now, wide rear axle in, half of crossover steering in, radiator mounted on the deck with catcher tank, got a 16inch fan with lotsa huff and puff

still shitloads to do, got the plates for the ifs steering box now so can put that in too

philux · Post by **philux** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 6:06 pm

got the ifs box all in and bolted up, just need the plates welded in place, ginded off the old shock mounts and bump stops, got a watertemp guage and a oil pressure guage in. Need to do rear disk conversion! the drums are shagged. What model galiant calipars do you use and what model hilux rotors?

i'll check with goose, if he doesnt want em, i have some that are sandblasted and ready for a rekitting and assembly...

p.s.. i have a pair of discs too...

just need to locate the 2nd in my garage.. i know where one is! :lol:

muddy_munke · Post by **muddy_munke** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 8:16 pm

Don't forget to get the axles machined so the disks fit over them. Unless NIBLIK's disks have been skimmed out on the inside??
I Can post pics if ya need em.

MATT4U · Post by **MATT4U** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 6:30 am

or machine them by had. Works a treat. with axels in axel housing, get someone to sit at one end slowly turning the axel while you sit on the other side grinding them down

philux · Post by **philux** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 9:29 pm

wahooo, first part of the build is done, and its drivable. Cross over steering DONE, rears up front, new shock mounts and bump stops, sweet new rancho shocks, made that radiator fit up front, wide axle in the rear, got sum new tyres but still waiting for the rims, and a drive shaft with 12" of spline

to turn up :roll:

so, all i got to do before new years is tow hooks, and a box section front drive shaft and a wheel alignment

pics to follow tomorrow (hopefully

)

philux · Post by **philux** » Sun Dec 23, 2007 10:01 pm

looking good phil...all set for new year then? the diffs getting here 1st thing 27th and should go in on that day if the rain comes that is predicted

Well, electrics huh, it decided to stop going when i was wheeling away dwn in naseby, ended up making an a frame and towing it back to chch, Finally decided to do some about it last weekend, turned out a cable has fully melted together that is running off the efi relay. Thats way the truck didnt go

and aslo found out why it was missing, looking at the spark plugs it had a bit of water sitting on the top of it some stage. The mission ova the nxt couple of days is tidy up the electrics (fawkin messy) fix my leaky trans sump, put a tow hook back on, and maybe remove the front bullbar and hopefully go wheeling on saturday

Sitting part way up mt buster ready for ropes to be attached to turn around (took about 3hrs to get bk dwn)

And the one flex shot of the front,

From memory there was still a lil bit more in the front, but the rear was starting to leave the ground, but that prob is going to sorted soon. Time for rear suspension work

philux · Post by **philux** » Sat Jul 05, 2008 10:37 pm

Have just started on round two (not to sure how many rounds of mods there will be :roll:

) Sick of the electrics screwing me about so gonna tidy them up a lot. The new motor is going to be run by a link computer with a MANUAL gearbox and original transfer case so then i can go duals one day, then get it certified (mainly for the motor) before the 1st december so i dont have to worry about the new emissions laws etc. Last night mission was to get the old motor, auto and transfer case out, thats all now sitting on the back of the ute, just waiting for adaptors and some parts to turn up and getting back into it, in the mean time I've got a lot of little coloured wires that need a lot of attention

keep us updated, looking good!

The link is a good easy computer most of the trouble is in the tuning, you may need some balast resistors for the toyota injectors on a link but the wireing is far simpler to make it go, MAP sensor, Injectors, Water temp, egt, fuel pump and o2, then get some of the outputs to control the fans etc.

When I did a link into a evo2 I found it was easier to get a few A3 pieces of paper and put everything the computer needed on one and everything the engine needed on another then combine those two into one page with the computer inputs and outputs. I was using the same sensors twice initialy in 2 different inputs until I started the drawing (because I was running out of everything) I was a bit silly and had it run the aircon and a lot of other stuff (inter cooler water sprayer, launch control, antilag, shift light) I would not be able to afford to run that car now I thought it was expencive back then :lol:

.

The link can auto tune but you need a good base for it to start from and the car needs to be hot before it can autotune. Cold start is the PITA and I never got mine quite right nothing a couple of pumps on the loud pedal wouldn't fix or when that flooded it cranking it for 30 -40 sec.

Mattman · Post by **Mattman** » Sat Jul 12, 2008 8:26 am

The early first gen links are hard to get cold start working correctly but the new G3 are much better.

My 1uz Hilux runs rough for the first 30 seconds until the cold start enrichment is off. I have played with it a bit to try and sort it out but it's hard as you can only do limited tuning when it's cold before it's not cold and yu have to wait again.

Matt.

Righto, with the electrics completly fawked and the auto crapping itself, it has got another wiring loom in, its out of another double cab, gone back to being a w56 manual. Manged to lower my ride :lol:

took the body lift out, re did the engine mounts to lower the motor down, seems to be a lot better now, thanks to chopper, h20lover, and oldyella for there help. Should be a bit more reliable now with all new electrics

the motor all out

the wiring for the computer

soo out came all the wires

now left to do is everything :roll:

all by new years again

now it looks like this, after the weekend

Chopper01 · Post by **Chopper01** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 4:41 pm

good sh#t phil , so when is the start up vid

philux · Post by **philux** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 6:47 pm

Wahooo it goes, was on the dyno today getting tuned, got a whooping 102kw at the wheels :lol:

got the duals and 4.7 gears in, and got myself a poked w56,

so after one of them would be handy, hopefully go for a wof in a couple of weeks. got the extractors in and exhaust done, the computer pretty much all wired up and the rest of the loom back together, and a few oil leaks to attend then just everything left now :lol:

A couple of vids when it got back home
