Turbo Suzuki Farmworker

[pandasport]

This is a little project I'm mucking round with

was a 17 careful farmer owners SJ410 Farmworker

Now has Hilux diffs, crossover hi-steer kit and 2 litre turbo mitsubishi engine the plan is to get it certified??!!

Would love to hear your thoughts and comments.... and encouragement



Cheers



Chris

Pics up tonight

[badnuz]

take lots of pics and drive it like a bat out of hell

[NJV6]

Good work Chris, it'll come together nicely.

And put up pic's of all the toys, like the Datto and the Rally car!

[pandasport]

crossover steering set up that the cert guy is happy with

Nord lock washers holding it all together more expensive than the rest of the bits put together..... $35 for bar and $40 for washers!!! worth it though



now have to "cold work" (hit with hammer) the sump to give steering bar some clearance.

[pandasport]

outside finally

[pandasport]

Not where i wanted it to exit but easily changed later or by a bank somewhere?? 2 1/2 inch

[hitbiga]

Where abouts did u get the parts to make the drag link from? need to do the same for mine. Cheers

[muddafugga]

Looks good mate ,What motor did you use?SOHC turbo from Mitsy starion or sigma or DOHC from vr4 etc

[marmel]

Looks like you might need some huuuge flare extensions to get it certified.

Nice looking suzuki ive got a similar setup on my sj413 ute with hilux diffs im running a nissan silvia ca18det though its a bit of a work in progress still alot to be done. you can see it in the videos section under mungatoks track. What sort of power does the mitsi engine put out

[pandasport]

hi everyone

used a really tasty 8v sigma motor, 4G63T has a decent factory power figure nothing incredible but i had a complete car there so after discussing putting a factory 1300 in it and realising i would have to change the mounts etc i thought perhaps i should go bigger and put a 4AGE in.... then thought after struggling to find a good carby version thought why not put a proper motor in!!!

had a quick eye up thought it would go (obviously this motor is from a front drive sigma), found a rear drive colt gear box which are nice and small only 4 speed but shouldn't matter, can change later to a bigger box from a lancer (5spd) but will have to shuffle some of my tunnel out of the way and i really hate cutting body work if it can be avoided.

should be interesting all i have to go now is the fuel return line, 1x rear brake hose and all the wiring..... which and i must get a picture up is turning out to be a night mare. just want it all done right the first time so i doesn't crap itself in nowheresville!!

next truck is gonna be a jimny sr20det auto will be a tight squeeze but a newer engine and body = less problems. (and rust haha)

as for flares does anyone know how much a set of the new jeep (rubicon??) factory superwide flares cost... if it is more than $50 i'm out, but you never know!!

will get some more pics up in the next few days cheers guys

[pandasport]

as for the crossover, it was very easy and incredibly cheap.... however i would recommend buying something suitable from one of this sites friends as although this is going to work and "my" certifier is happy with it yours might not be.

however it is 2 factory left hand arms, remove both from axles and turn in lathe until the surface where they mate together is flat..... use spare factory steel shims and cone washers between the two steering arms

go and buy the BEST high tensile bolts you can get and use nord washers (i think this is the right name please correct if not) they are the ducks.

i could sort the machining out for you if you need it just sort the arms out and send them to me cheers Chris

[pandasport]

oh sorry... draglink ah went through heaps of boxes at BNT till i found a right and left hand thread ball joint that would do the trick, turned it up and away we go i could get part numbers for you if need be??

[turoa]

Just check your kingpin bolts on top of that crossover before and after every trip. I have the same system and have started breaking bolts and stripping threads.

Well just a heads up anyway. If I had teh coin id be going 6 shooter knuckles

[muddafugga]

If you need ECI wiring diagrams,I have some laying around.
(My brother is putting the same motor in his 73 16L colt)
I have the rare factory 150kw DASH 4g63t in my Starion

The fuel injection on these cars are a bit crap(Throttle body inj compared to the newer multi point setups)

You can also use rwd parts from the Starion on the motors-top mount turbo manifolds,oilfilter housing that have threaded holes for the factory oilcoolers etc.

[pandasport]

hey guys.... yeah would just about wet the bed over wiring diagram even an eci pin out would be awesome i'll pay all shipping cost etc give me a call if you want and we can go through some details 0800 587 825 goes to my cell so get me anywhere cheers!!!

already have that type oil filter with cooler setup wil get pics up hope it helps cos i have a very small radiator

yeah would love 6 bolt type but funds don't allow... bugger

[hitbiga]

oh sorry... draglink ah went through heaps of boxes at BNT till i found a right and left hand thread ball joint that would do the trick, turned it up and away we go i could get part numbers for you if need be??

Dont think mine will be road legal so not worried about cert, ive got the 2 stock left arms on mine atm just need construct a drag link bar to the pitman arm. Yea if u could get me the numbers that would be good. Also wheres the best place to get the bar from?

Cheers

[pandasport]

hey here are those part #'s you wanted

tre outer ford falcon TE817R retails for $23 @ BNT
tre outer lh/rh maz 323 TE514L retails for $39 @BNT

if i had a bit more time i would have changed te514l for one with an easier thread that was some bizzare pitch but got the job done.

truck at auto sparky now wiring proved to be beyond me

[pandasport]

HI everyone, wiring half done... can't wait to start the thing!!

any ideas or options on a good long shock front and rear for this thing. want it resonably stiff as it will be used for a fair bit of bunny shooting, circle work!! etc and don't want it to be so floppy other people driving it will tip it over when turning, so possibly an adjustable??

has anyone else ever mounted the front diff stay (hilux - sj410) to one of these i have looked for pics anywhere, would like a shot of a good system

oh and have found a factory power steering set up that will go on very nicely... maybe after i get it going don't want to bite off too much

cheers

im running Monroe , 2inch lifted shocks , mates are using rancho 5000's ,both happy with the performance. you wont fit much more of a shock in their without cutting and moving the shock towers in the front.

2 issues with the hilux diffs and Narrow track Zuks. First is the front pumpkin on the hilux diff is right in the way of where you want to put the spring perch and second is the rear hilux diff has a center pumpkin which creates real bad drive shaft angles. probably not so bad on a LWB farm worker , but not ideal. most use an offset Prado rear to get around this issue.

[pandasport]

do the diff heads fit each other cos i can get a rear diff from prado no sweat but the ratios are different?????

the front angle is tight -ish but the back seems ok would def prefer right side pumpkin.

have checked out ranchos, seem ok price wise and like the adjustability.... might have to cough up more cash for the set i really want though

[flyingbrick]

Stay well clear of rancho's. There are many brands out there without all the bad press (eyes snapping off, leaking, etc etc etc)

[basics]

thats a nice looking zook.

hey cheers for that i have had issues with loading photos so difficult... could just be the way i'm doin it

[pandasport]

so finally got to do some updates on the truck, been a while forgot where i was!!

.... my brake lines were a bit close to the exhaust so i hunted catalogues until i found one with a RH out

should work, however the pedal throw is a bit shorter





found a much better radiator out of a late model Jimny... bit of mucking round still for mounts etc but as close to a direct fit



and got some sweet as seats on my last trip to japan... free!!
they are from a really new 660cc turbo SJ410 (mighty wind printed on them which is fairly accurate)





a bit of heat wrap for exhaust... needs metal shrouds really but want to drive it !!!

[chevrolux]

what are the brakes like without a booster?
Sorry if this is a noob question if this is a standard sort of practice lol.

[badnuz]

if they are anything like my 410 with no booster hopless!

[Sadam_Husain]

cool little project mate
