Ok

I decided to fab up my own dump pipe to save paying professional prices and it worked out pretty well in the end. Only thing i would do differently next time is to put a flex joint in the waste gate dump as it was very hard to get all the angles right and its a bit of a pain to fit in the car being one fixed piece.

This is more or less as it sits right now. Its been a costly exercise but the result is awesome. it made 160rwkw on 12psi through the auto, It makes plently of torque and is a blast to drive. Off road especially in low 4 its a beast and will 4 wheel drift if pushed. I am now moving on to stage 2 of this build, which is going to be efi with a long range tank and intercooled. The next few months will be hard work as the list of things needed is growing by the day. I scored myself a nice steel long range tank (145 odd litre) and a haltech sprint 500 in the last few days. I also plan to fit ac while its all in bits again.

My biggest gripe with it currently is my off road range. Honestly i thought 100 litres of lpg would be ok but its really not. I constantly worry about running out of gas as soon as the needle dips below half and its really thirsty off road. I have proven to myself that its a good combination (tb42 turbo), now i just have to perfect it.

Turbo is a garrett gt3582r with a .62 rear housing and its the perfect match for the tb42. Makes boost early and has heaps of mid range power. I did get a patrol docta snorkle also as its got to be the best option for an air fiter on a gq that there is.

Ill update this as i go but it wont be a quick swap over. Im planning to get a custom fuel rail and running xr6t injectors. intank walbro pump and a falcon coil pack ect. I am pretty ocd with my builds and will be doing all the wiring myself so it takes a lot of planning and time to get right.

Very generous offer but its the 1.5 inch waste gate pipe that causes me a few dramas each time its going back together. Cheers

Thanks mate, It is getting scratched up being used out in the bush now. The red shows up small tree marks very well

As it is there is no intercooler. The next stage will have a front mount setup. It will have to be a thin (50mm) one though to allow some space for the ac and keep the grill.
