Who's camper is it you brought?Quote:

I'm sure it does have ability to adjust for toe in out but don't want to drive all the way up there to get it checked out because I'm sure when bought they said I could get stuff done locally , must give them a call because they've been slack with the reply .
Sent you a pm sprock .Quote:

I swapped a couple of old CV shafts to suit a Gen 4 Pajero for this 60 litre fuel tank: I've had the CV shafts sitting in the shed for a couple of years, so good to see them turn into something I can use.
This will come in handy for my upcoming Madigan Line trip. I'd prefer to have long range tanks fitted, but don't have the cash at the moment so this 60 litre tank behind the passenger seat and 3 jerry's should cover it. (2 on the roof and one in the cabin.)

I bought a couple of magnetic mounts to fit onto a couple of spare LED lights. Will make a handy set of magnetic work lights. Handy if you need to be under the bonnet at night or for camping.
I ordered a Clearview es-220 Plus.
Instead of giving me a slab for the radiator how about you chuck a slab on the table at Licola for whoever turns up to have a drink .
Got some more rubber for my ute. Went for the 265/75Rx16 BFG KO2 A/T.
Got them from my local Tyres and More, on catalogue special for $329 a corner. That's pretty good, coz I got them 2 years ago for $330 a corner. Also got 2 new 16x8 White spoke Nissan rims to replace the 2nd hand ones I was given.
Will work out the K's I got from my last lot, over the weekend. I suspect it will be around 50-55k, coz I travel with 2 spares, 180lts fuel,120lts of water and my recovery gear, on most trips.

No dramas mate , I typed a reply to your pm but obviously forgot to press send in my (allegedly) drunken state 😬Quote:

Donaldson Pre filter, 4" to suit new snorkle, rated 660CFM airflow, so will go well with the chev. Also purchased 4" ram head, donaldson as well
Just use the ram head....
On what validated basis?Quote:

Among other things.
Mine is naturally aspirated and this rating is satisfactory, There simply is not a lot bigger in capacity within the same footprint. - happy to be corrected. I am yet to see how a cyclonic reduction of dust particles, which means an extension of filter life and extended efficiency can be achieved by a ram head which of course it can't and I understand you are not saying that, simply by removal of circa 70% incoming dust load equates to greater 'breathability'. I have clogged a standard brand new filter in a single day driving in dusty conditions without the cyclonic precleaner. Simply removing the dust load is the key. Taking 70% of that dust laod away is an advantage.Quote:

I use a RAM head for convenience only, as the Donaldson is not that resistant to branches in the scrub as I have found twice ( its a big tree catching plastic tub). The fitter box fitted to this engine is as big as can fit, so its a simple matter of working with what is avail. I have looked at higher cloth areas within the same cartridge footprint, but this is it. At the end of the day its all about air to cloth ratio and filtration efficiency. This is my focus as it bwill improve economy and ultimately reduce the amount of solids into the engine.
Its interesting that few/none of the vehicle manufacturers offer a factory fit ram head, or at least I have not seen one. I know land rover and toyota offer a semi cyclonic pre filter on their snorkels from memory. There may be pressure loading figures floating around and performance gains implied and even experienced by ram head users, however I am not buying into whether the ram head works better or achieves a better outcome, simply that I have defined my application based on experience. You may well have different views and I am happy to listen to them as long as they can be validated.
Its all good purely a suggestion. I also have experience in the field of filtration although from a differing perspective. Heavy non-highway equipment use the cyclonic method with the use of many conical venturi. They also employ dust extraction utilising the exhaust system.
For what its worth we have data logged data and using manufacturers supplied compressor and turbine maps can see that the use of a ram head on a high output turbo td42 gains us 15% in efficiency of the turbo this equates to the turbo actually working less to produce the same volume.
Thanks for the reply, very interesting for sure. Regards -Quote:

Under what circumstances are the gains achieved? Is this at speed or static? At the end of the day the ram head is simply a cowl and its design efficiency has limitations when static- I am guessing these gains would be with the vehicle moving across a range of speeds?
Its while being driven etc. You simply dont have the load to make the turbo work to its ability static. Most people drive their patrols ;p
Yes, clever response, I was trying to enquire if the data logged was on a dyno or actually driving and logged over time - my mistake. I did some work in a diesel engine powered power station utilising of all things the dreaded 6.5 chev diesel engine x 12 units but these were turbo charged and we also data logged these engines across a wide band of criteria, hence why i asked. They were load controlled via electrical demand on the generators, hence would operate over a medium band of revs.Quote:

Not so much lazy to be honest, my knees are work years shot and would rather stand enjoying the views in peace before tracks departure/arrival ;-)
Whoops, here's the second link:

You have 2 links to the same thing.Quote:
