No PB, I dont have a fuel pump, will watch with interest how the supercharger goes.
So, you are sure that the snout requires you to body lift then?
Did the WA guys say what Injector Pump they are running?, that torque puts it outside the range of the 6L90 I have.
I assume you are getting or have the Bullet kit?

cheers

Unfortunately I don't have the dyno results for the larger dia snout pulley running at 10psi. Whats the long life limit on the 6L90?

Yeah I know, just trying to get things orderly in my mind as i only get small chunks of time usually for mods. This one will be a little different. I was hoping to do the engine pulley swap over the Xmas break, but looks like the custom 8 rib serpy pulleys might miss the xmas deadline. If thats the case i will do the body lift instead and chew on those lemons. Speaking with @MudRunnerTD today about the process, he assures me its not too big a job, one person for a day should knock it, only the rear mounts require some access surgey to get to the bolt heads - checked it out tonight riefly and does not look too bad.

Sold mine yesterday

Alas there was only room for one stonking great V8 powered Patrol in my life so 'Big Red' is off to a new and loving home and 'Moby' the great white whale is the new big kahuna.

ET, now that it is sold, are you willing to share the photos of the endless air installation? You displayed some resistance when i was trying to sort mine out, but now that I am moving to the Serpy belt any help would be appreciated????

I hear you, - but - I will see what goes, as really i have to be able to get it inside the garage as well and dont want to have the stuffing around of dropping tyre pressure for that!. I dont carry the galv box anymore so just roofrack, solar panel, 14klm of copper cable and some antennas, should be ok, but hear you load an clear.

Great to hear mate, and truly honestly only trying to pay back a whisker of the best guidance off site you’ve always kindly given myself and closest!
COGravity coin would be best IMO spent on keeping the old faithful GQ beast low and slow with a set of GU stronger/wider axles my friend

So where are you going to sit when I get the garage to handle the height of the portals? Hope you are not going to restrict me to the likes of jells park or Chadstone shopping centre? Yes they are 100mm wider, but 4" taller. Anyway. I am in no hurry for GU axles, mine have lasted just fine to date with the driving style i adopt.

All I can say old mate is that two high horsepowered TD42Ti GQ’s live on the next hill over to ours. One is a lightweight usually solo driver with stock axles and super lightweight rack. Other is a family man with much baggage atop so opted for wider COG axles. Both are neck & neck comparatively acceptable IMO :-)
