New heap in chch

[sirLachlan]

Names lachlan . I weld polyethylene pipe all day . So if u want some off cuts just ask .
Needed something to put some bikes on and a bit of exploring .
Seen this ln106 pop up down in cromwell . Ready had a 5l and and turbo and cert . Was mainly used as a pilot vehicle hence the ugly bits im going to cut off on tbe roll bar .
Its got new springs of some description . Fresh lsd in the rear .
Came with 2 spare 31 goodride mudders .
Needs swivel seals but ohwell . It goes hard and drives good .
First plan is a front mount intercooler in the grill . Can fit a 500 x 230 x 50 core in there . Nice tube n fin one . None of this bar n plate boat anchor shit .
The turbo is a water cooled ct20 . It goes far harder than I thought it would . I have a modern td04 and a td05 off a subaru in the shed so ill fit these and see which I like best .
When im doing swivels ill prolly shim the lsd and put it in the front . Get a lockright for the back . Get another 2 goodrides gor not much over 300 and itll be mint .
Has a shitty headunit that needs the biff . Tacho foesnt work so ill fix that . And ultimately I want a flatdeck so if anyone wants to swap . This deck is real tidy

Nice truck mate, this wheels in the 3rd picture are awesome. Any idea what they are or specs, offset etc?

[sirLachlan]

Lol the 3rd picture is the 31 inch tires standing infront of the wheels on the truck

[dvk-kp]

haha my bad... Picture is quite small on a fone!

[Petemcc]

Bugga ya I was gong to buy that haha didn't really need it though. You got a bloody good deal. Would have been cheap if it was a 2.8 but with the certed 5l turbo you did well. Good stuff.

Has it has the fuel pump done? Any idea what boost and egts are?

[sirLachlan]

Yea im well aware it was a deal ha ha .
Can u elaborate on "done " in regards to the pump . He said hed wound it up a bit . It blows no snoke at all . Doesnt have a compensateor .
I talked to someone whod know and he rekoned its not worth fitting a compensateor . Rekond all it does it prevent some smoking when you lift off after having your boot up it .
Im still planning on fitting one when I fit a bigger turbo .
No idea on egts . Boost cant be much either . Stock ct20 actuator not wound uo very tight .
Filled it at cromwell and did 100 kph on the gps all the way back to chch 436 km and the fuel gauge had just cracked into the last quarter

[BlakeNZ]

the 8" inch rear LSD might not fit up front , if it has the 7.5" IFS front. Or is a straight axle?
Good to get a tidy one, some/many of these are starting to have rust issues in door gutters etc.

[sirLachlan]

Nah its got a real axle at the front . Wasnt gunna buy a town truck

Hi Lachlan,
Truck sounds good,
When you do your axle seals and knuckle wipers and lockright can help there.
See http://www.4wdstuff.co.nz/catalog/lockers
and for your knuckle wipers these are good http://www.4wdstuff.co.nz/knuckles-hubs ... iper-seals

Cheers

Where do I start with the tacho ?assuming its plugged into the pump is it most likely the back of the dadh needs soldier ?

And is anyone aware of a drop in foam or uni filter style filter for the air box in the photo ? Ive got a fleet of dirt bikes so id like a foam filter to service with them

[sirLachlan]

Its got quite new ironman performance +50 mm leafs all round . On standard length shocks . I quite like the way it drives on the road . Havent had it off road . What are the pros and cons of fitting some +50 shocks aswell .

[sirLachlan]

Dammit the driveway pixies didnt finish my intercooler install over night .
Oh well . All the hard stuff us done anyway . All thats left to do it trim joiners and each pipe then button it up . Also did the rest of the exhaust . Once ic us done ive got a bar to mount

[sirLachlan]

Finished intercooler . Pretty happy with it .
Got a boost gauge on it . Runs 10 psi at the actuator hose . Prolly gunna fit a bigger turbo . It already has a fresh water cooled ct20 but it literally runs about 7 psi at 100 and zero throttle it still has 5 psi untill I get to below 60 kph . Was gunna put a tdo4 ive got on it from a 01 wrx . They are quite nice and support about 200hp . I dont think its much bigger than the ct20 tho . Ive got a td05 16g off a early wrx in the shed also

Also put on a bar I got for free and tidied up the turbo water lines

[sirLachlan]

Since then it's had some 33s . Redid all the turbo hoses coz they were shit .
Underseat sub . Coz need tunes .
And tonight bolted on an alloy winch bar I got for 400

StI'll planning to do x over steering . Lsd spacers . Swivel seals . Front shocks to match 50 mm lift springs . Might move front axle forward on leafs .
Goes good .
Uses less than 11 l per 100k on the open road with dirt bikes up in the breeze . Pulls 3rd gear up porters with a empty car trailer behind it and doesn't get hot
Anyone want that black bull bar for a farm hack etc ?
Cheers
