am running a fairly new hd clutch that would be a wait an see expense. thinking i would make up a panel filter airbox, just need to get some measurements and materials for it.
hmm snorkel .... maybe i bust out the welder ....
working on how much to spend now, pricing things and getting an idea of cost,
if you meant send ... full send lol
well the old girl has rego again
looks like my battery has given up... if only i could fix it like i fix everything at work .... with a hammer
the patrol is taking a back seat for a bit while i help fix a landrover .... need to get a valve spring compressor ....
Don´t do that mate, you may never drive your Patrol again! Landrovers never fix!
oh my patrol is in a drivable state, just no time to do work on it,Quote:

quick question , would a panel air filter A1358 have enough air flow for a turbo td42 ?
and i currently have the landrover engine spread across a workbench ...
I’ve been running a Black Mamba Airbox on my TD42 with 8psi Safari turbo for a few happy years now thanks to Guru Forum advice on here Garret Mate:

The Airbox itself was nearly $800 but the paper A1358 filters are only circa $15 and spares pack in the back really well being slimline rectangular [emoji736][emoji736]

would it be at all possible to run a tape measure over the box , and a couple photos of the sealing surfaces ?Quote:

Apologies Garrett Mate, just a bit time poor at the moment, next week if you remind me I’ll take 5 [emoji106][emoji106]
Must say though, the one I bought is beautifully engineered and constructed to seal without falter as I’ve tested deep under Tasmanian windscreen sludge. The lip/seal on this thing is extremely well CNC routed I assume to fit the A1358 above and below compressed to perfection [emoji736][emoji736]

no worries mate its gunna be a few months before i start work on the mav, i also have to weld and brace the inner guard, sort some suspension fun, fuel pump, injectors and contemplate a rotary exhaust...Quote:

well i should have secured a turbo kit ... and i need to sort the suspension on the front ... want to stay with the 2 inch lift but nicer shocks and hybrid radius arms seem the go.
hopefully this weekend i can get the landrover engine back together
well i have most of the bits to put a turbo on my car, missing one or two important bits ... like a turbo and exhaust pipe.
managed to have my steering damper explode all over my front diff..
Do have an honest near new (50kish) usage Safari air compressor and all its connecting intake/exhaust goodies removed in the shed if you want Garrett Mate?
It’s done what I asked of it and paid for itself around our great land for work. It only runs at circa 8-10psi without intercooler and helped a lot but did start chewing 500,000k rings and overheating piston tops found mostly during last 2.2T hauling headwinds run to Darwin [emoji22]

i'll pass then, i got hold of a factory gu setup but the turbo is knacked, got all the lines an manifolds etc. been thinking a borg warner is the go, i can get one of them off the shelf local around the corner from work.
woot i have death wobbles .... without a steering damper its quite fun on the highway ... really need to finish this landrover ...
i got a delivery of suspension parts ... on a pallet
fitting new radius arms ... lining up the last bolt is interesting, ratchet strap and jacks make it easier by yourself. found out my shocks were dead panhard bushes gone radius arm bushes gone inner axle seal is gone..
i'm not looking at the rear end ... that can be future garetts problem.
When I did mine, a bottle jack on the pinion side of the diff center helped a lot to "fine tune" the alignment of the radius arm and axle housing holes.
well now i have driven it with the new radius arms and shocks ... no death wobble ... still gunna change more parts as they are not good.
last time i did this i had a hoist ... soo much easier
i may have ordered more parts ...

i gotta get around to fitting them but now have a work car, so no rush
i got around to cleaning them manifolds up, going to try and paint the exhaust in ceramic. then wrap it,
looking for the fuel pump and a couple more bits, but i think i have most of what i need now.
well i cleaned it up

Well done mate. Hope all is well in your world

What did you use to clean the carbonization inside the manifold?
i used a sandblasting cabinet, then smoothed out the casting inside with die grinders and flap wheels.Quote:

Just go straight to UFI. . Worth considering a built 11mm tho reckon if I did it again that's the way I world go. .

Yeah I reckon my 12mm is wasted too. 11mm would do the same as I am now but probably with less soot. Lol.Quote:
