Ring places that possibly do engine conversions etc... There's a LOT of barra conversions going on. Therefore a LOT of redundant gearboxes laying around somewhere.Quote:

Thats a great idea. Or @mudski join a Barra conversion group of FB and ask if anyone has a gearbox in the shed.Quote:

Ok, easy, it has to be what I have just done. Check bleeder, check drain, check fuel filter, etc.
Everything looks fine. I took it off and on again multiple times.
I have never had a problem with my fuel pressure.
I just found this whilst waiting for Mia's school bus. That little tiny injector bleed return line looks to be the culprit.
What a perfect time for that to happen exactly the same time as I replace the filter!!!

All good. I found a s/h box from a 2008 low 100thou on the clock box. George will be doing the r & r for me. Now I'm thinking do I get the Mark 10% overdrive reduction gear now, since I have saved over 2K. This would bring my revs at 100kph from 2450 to 2205rpm.Quote:

Mark, I have this conversion and I am now sitting in the sweet spot for max economy at 110klm/hr at 1750rpm.Unlike the 85% reduction gears that howl all day in low range the machine finish is excellent on the overdrive gears - silent as stock standard.Quote:

Not sure if I love it or hate it yet [emoji848]
Keen for your honest helpful thoughts prior to welding Team NP.com.au?
Certainly will keep I believe our pesky local Hills bugs from ram feeding into the airbox, open passenger side window for a Navi would be a lot more bearable too I imagine [emoji1696]

The 30 degree downwards, slightly twisted final bend theory is for parked up outside/overnight camping torrential rains protection.
Have had previous plastic family GU wagon truckster ram head snorkels fill airboxes overnight and believe poor @Rossco ‘s GQ once did the same nearly hydro-locking his beast on morning startup [emoji51]
EDIT: Besides looking a little kooky, not powder coated yet [emoji23] Could the extra nearly say 800mm of 4” pipe potentially hinder its air intake? I’m only chasing 150rwkw again [emoji1696]

Looks good, the extra pipe length would add restrictions in the order of 4 decimal places - not an issue, clever about the drop end to keep the water out. I have never had a problem with my forward facing safari head, or maybe the water simply was very small and evaporated from bonnet heat?
Do you have a link for this reduction? I don't even have the power to push current 5th gear yet, but this is an interesting thing to know it exists.Quote:
