After more power 4.2 carby dual fuel

[Ben-e-boy]

Ok, having a look at the mag right now..... I was wrong about the torque....it's not 1230 Nm, it's 1250 Nm!!! @ 2700 rpm. And 260kw @ 4200 rpm. that's bl--dy tough! Maybe the owner is out there somewhere? Would be great to have a chat if you are.

Its not that difficult to produce that much torque out of a big straight 6 cylinder. I have a mate with an 80 series petroll with 700hp and 1200+Nm of torque and a mate with an xr6 turbo with near 600hp and 1100Nm of torque

Whats he done to the 80 series?
Either been dyno'd?

That's what this thread is asking. Tell robo what ya know. Unless it's a secret lol

both been dynod
the land cruiser is 15 years of research and devopment (its built for track racing, and on road hill climb events) Ive ridden it many times I used to live with the owner. it torque steers and you can feel it twist the chassis when he's up it and the look on the skyline drivers face when he is getting his arse handed to him on a platter by a landcruiser is PRICLESS
an xr6 turbo can be made into a 10-11 second car with bolt on mods only. once you start working the motor ie heads, cams, etc you make big power

here is a pic of the cruisers engine bay

Nice. The RB30 engines also make a lot of power with only bolt ons. Type "patrol Vs ......." into YouTube for some awesome 4wd drags.

Yeah that's right, but never going to do it for 4k not even if I do every single bit of labour my self.
and would still be 2 nd h/junk.
Been there done that, engine reco etc.
It's the Wife's tow vehicle and she travels a fair way to shows so I want and need reliability not junk.
This little black duck not going to be broken down more times than not.

Cheers

After more power is the title, not neck breaking chassis twisten and $30+k later.
Rb30 tend to throw rods when pushed and block not comparable with 4.2's .
yeah a half decant donk but I'm after life span.

[taslucas]

It's a sliding scale, the more power, the more money. And if you want more power AND reliability then it's even MORE money. If you find a cheap way of doing it I'm sure there'll be a lot of people interest lol.:-)

[Ben-e-boy]

Camshaft, head work, raising compression, fuel injection etc. Speed costs money - how fast do you want to go?

Hi Tony.
after something better.
the amount of torque these have seems fairly ok but getting there is like watching paint dry.
was wondering what others are doing?.
would like v8 but can't justify those $$ and probable insurance problems.

Hi Bro.
$4K Me don't think so, more like $12k for a half decant job and not a bunch of unreliable 2nd hand parts.
where can you get a good engine and the nessary parts for 4k, make us a list up will ya please

Yeah that's right, but never going to do it for 4k not even if I do every single bit of labour my self.

so 4 grand is your budge now not 12. your all over the place mate.
if its a tow/travel I agree with YNOT do the head, put a cam in it to increase torque and make good power at thighway speed

[Robo]

OK then. start again.
After more power from 4.2 carby lwb 4x4 on dual fuel, this is a highway cruiser tow vehicle, daily driver.
Has all the usual mode so far.
Extractors, 2 1/2 exh system, pertronic, iridium plugs, morey's oil drip system.
2" raised and poly bag inside rear, caster correction etc.

After a power increase to tow so where not that 4x4 that hold everyone up at the first sign of a hill.
So approx 30% increase in power could be on the money.

After advise from someone that know's on what can be used to achieve a reliable engine for this sort of gain in power and the added torque.
Think v8 is over kill on cost and that this sort of power gain can be easy to achieve with efi cam and maybe turbo. And not interested in diesel.
$$$$ are not the question here I'm after the info.
Just to quote cam, injection, turbo , isn't a answer.This is obvious.
What has been done and or can be used, and parts spec's to achieve this sort of gain with reliability.
After the complete story for around 30% increase in power and the associated torque that goes along with it.

Cheers
