It's super comfy!! That has a lot to do with the awful handling which provides awesome sponginess, and 0-100 in it is something to behold ... so long as the hundred zone is a few kilometres long to allow me to reach it!!!!! lmfaoQuote:

Made an executive decision also - going to petrol still, but going to put a small 40 litre reserve LPG tank on it (giving me 188 litres on board, and bit of redundancy should I have problems with either fuel supply).
Empty engine bay!!! You should see how high the front end sits!! 290mm from top of tyre to bottom of plastic flare!! Me thinks a 6-7" lift would be appropriate!!! lmao)

2. Work out conversion to petrol (bigger injectors primarily) and remove 90 litre LPG tank in rear and replace with long ranger 148 litre petrol tank, with 40 litre LPG tank to go under the drivers side where the old sub tank resided (at this point, turbo and running dual fuel).
3. Air to water intercooler install (at this point turbo, intercooled, and dual fuel).
4. Rebuild my current engine's bottom end only and install down the track (now have spare everything just about to keep for a rainy day).
End result - turbo charged, intercooled, fully rebuilt TB42 punching out about 220-230 kw's at the rear wheels, carrying 188 litres of usable fuel.
Fingers firmly crossed!!!
More importantly.....How's the Tojo going? lol
Rossco sir such profanities ...family forum hahahahahahahahahQuote:

No photos, but the engine is in!!! Most stuff connected, but the throttle body/gas carby causing some headaches .. getting an adaptor made up for the turbo to lift it up a bit to make the plumbing easier and avoid fouling the air con lines, and fingers crossed, should be kicking over tomorrow ...
Oh, and it will run as such with the petrol setup as it is (problem when boosting up) but if these injectors Jason found are the ticket, then it's well and truly on the right track.
Here's to success!!! And a mighty fine transplant for Tank!!!
Good luck Biggus hope the plan comes together I love it when A plan comes together hahahahha
Like the new avatar hahahahha
no beer for you mate, my old man got an email of wholesale automatic yesterday arvo after i spoke 2 him, saying the parts we ordered were dispatched, turned up 2day and there was a pump housing, dad said it looks right :) so fingers crossed it bolts upQuote:

SWEEEEEET AS mate
Nice work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Excellent........can't wait ta hear him at full volume on the dyno mate
Thanks lads - it's still a way off, but got it home tonight and goes back later this week. Pinging in high revs, not working with the idle control connected, and auto is not playing nicely ... but even at a mild 6psi, it is getting up and boogying!!
Great to see it in & going....
I can see by the pics theirs still a ways to go but its a starting point non the less.
Well, it's not finished by a long shot, but the engine has breathed to life and is pulling pretty hard - I'll get some video up in the coming day or so.
Still have to tweak it somewhat, and cool it somehow (thinking water/methanol injection), but it's getting there. The old engine is going to be fully rebuilt, decompressed and dropped in down the track once everything else is sorted, so I'm some way away from a fire breather, but heaps better than previous (especially the torque).
A bajillion thanks to Patch for all his insite and assistance - you're a star mate and I can't thank you enough. Special mention to Tony (YNOT) also for input and assistance throughout the process.
Mate, shoot me but I haven't been following your thread lately,,,,What have you put in your truck.....too lazy to read 6470045 pages sorry matrQuote:

Fun and games boss, fun and games!!!
Back to the Xbox!!!
Hey Bigrig. Your truck is simply a work of art. I understand that it has a 3" suspension lift is there a body lift of any sort? Also what size tyres are you running? Thanks
G'day mate - many thanks for the kind words!!!Quote:

Engine is my priority at the moment with turbo already in and the intercooler going in on Tuesday ...
