77' Mahindra CJ4A Project - 1G-GTE TWIN TURBO

[MAHINDRACJ4A]

how about the set up off a sj410 ? like everything ? including puting on the front disc brakes ?

[SupraLux]

I would think that might work - the vehicle weight will be similar - although look at the horses you are poking into the axles - you might want something a little more substantial stopping you...

Rex or Chris (Lilpig or Rotazuk) might be a better source of just how good the stoppers on Zuks are...

[MAHINDRACJ4A]

the disc brake apparenty go straight on to my mahindra axels as i will put the whole disc brake hub onto my axle

am i right ? as both stud patterns as the same eg 5x139.7

as for stoping i wont be going much faster than 100 anyways

[Rotazuk]

If you want zuk brakes and I can see the point as you have 5 stud and its not going off road too much get the disc's off a 5 dr vitara . They are all still 5 stud but are ventilated , good on rood not so good if it will live in the mud as they will just full up with mud . Still work thou . The brakes off a vitara will be better than the 410 , more weight in the vehicle etc . Then either get a pedal setup from one of them or go toyota if you think you will got lux axles soon .

Had another problem, the clutch i got my 1g-gte flywheel was too big for my mahindra gearbox input shaft, tryed to use the old mahindra flywheel but wouldnt fit inside the 1g-gte pressure plate, then tryed to used the mahindra/3y pressure plate and clutch on the 1g-gte flywheel but the pressureplate bolts were differant

So Thats Were I had to spend some money for a new clutch plate that was smaller than 9" and would fit my gearbox input shaft, tryed just jeeps in auckland they had a brand new 8.5" clutch plate for a willys jeep ordered that overnight yesterday got it this morning and it fits

Here A Picture Of my New Clutch Plate (Pretty Expensive Too )
My New 8.5" Clutch Plate

New One Compared With My Old One


Lol How Much I Have Cut My Firewall So Far To Fit The Engine

[MAHINDRACJ4A]

Now Another Problem Is the spigot bearing

the one on my engine is too small to fit my mahindra gearbox input shaft into it

any one have an idea where i could get a bearing 28OD - 15 or 16ID
The Bearing I Have At the moment Is Only 28OD - 12ID

[MAHINDRACJ4A]

just ordered a new spigot bearing for $50+

oh well the size i have just brought is 28OD - 16ID - 7Width

Should be here tomorrow morning

Someone Want To Earn Some Money
or maybe few big boxes of piss ?

thought it would be a good idea to ask on here, need some welding work done, and maybe engine mounts just some real easy stuff

im in morrinsville, you could either come out here or i could bring the truck to you, as for how much cash we can discuss

and food & alcohol beverages will be served

[MAHINDRACJ4A]

im having second thoughts about the gearbox

the driveshafts both come out the drivers side
any gearbox that is also like that ? any w series box like that ?
i dont want to get it to getting custom bellhousing/adaptor plates

any ideas ?

[Smurf]

toyota W56 and G52 boxes have drivers side front output and a centre rear output

[MAHINDRACJ4A]

toyota W56 and G52 boxes have drivers side front output and a centre rear output

yes but my rear drive shaft is also on the driver side

[MAHINDRACJ4A]

would i be able to do any thing to fit the w56 gearbox to fit my diff ?

or maybe if any other rear diff that has the shaft in the centre that would be the right size for me jeep ? as in the width ?

what about the sj410 diffs/axels ?

[MAHINDRACJ4A]

or how much would it cost to modify a diff/axle to be the right lenght to fit under my jeep ?

[lilpigzuk]

Prado have RH Diff pumpkins, get the right one and you have locker in the back as well

If you were planning on running a W56 you would probably be better to use a hilux or surf rear diff, They have a center nugget

[MAHINDRACJ4A]

Have just got my new set of pedals yay

Got a company called Allison Engineering that does onsite Engineering he works from home so yeah

the engine is finally in the hole with new mounts



Battery & Radiator mocked up, with the new radiator i have loads of room



I'll get some photos of the mounts tomorrow in the sunlight

[MAHINDRACJ4A]

now if only i could figure out what wires to connect to run the engine just to hear it run & see if the engine i brought actually works, saw some where on the Internet that i would only have to connect like about 5 or 6 wire to make the engine run any one got any thoughts ? it would be just a temporary thing to check if the engine runs, then after i will get it fully wired properly

[MAHINDRACJ4A]

Got a new mig welder today

Ryobi - Decaweld/Decastar 150e
