It's a UFI setup.

Thanks mate. One of my.fan fins had a Crack in it so a definite replacement either the upgrade or ome .

If your fan is cracked, and you're thinking of going bigger power down the road then I'd look at an upgraded unit now and get it over and done with. Just need to watch how they fit with bigger radiators if you need one later. In saying that if I wasn't towing I wouldn't need it.

Got sick of the standard radio, so decided to opt for something a little better. First brand name radio I've had in a car for many many years



Install was pretty straight forward, just a bit time consuming stuffing around with the rear camera, but in the end it came up pretty good. I'll have a better play with it tomorrow and see how it goes, but so far so good.

Hey mate, how did you end up putting the charge socket for the iPad?
Any pics?
Never mind. I just seen someone else posted a pic.

Rod.
Any changes in your VDO sensor temps ? Plugged mine in and it won't go above 70C. Very similar to yours. Temps surely cannot be that low. lol

I took mine for a spin out to Bathurst and back yesterday, 250km each way up over the Great Dividing Range and basically it sat between 65-75 the whole way. Out near Lithgow on the back of the ranges there's a section that's 110km, so 110 I did straight up the hill in 5th at about 20 psi. EGT's were about 400 air temp about 25 and the VDO gauge made it to 80. If this is true I'm seriously happy as the hill was about 1km long. Coming home there is a couple of long up hill pulls, realatively steep, pre mods this had me back to 4th full throtle and dropping back to about 85-90km, so this time up I go in 5th at about 105km, accelerated beyond that a few times to pass cars, temps got up to around 80-85, air temp high 20's. PS: loving the power... Cruising down the hill saw temps around 60-65 quite often, occasionally going to 70. I've read lots of reports of these things running mid to high 90's just cruising along at 100-110, at these speeds on the flat I'm barely seeing 70. So I'm really stumped on whether the gauge is reading right or it's just running nice and cool. I fear the first is true, whilst secretely hoping for the second.

Bit of fun. What does a TD42 with a 12mm pump, 4" intake and light weight flywheel (~6kg lighter) rev like off the mark. Makes taking off and heel and toe pretty easy.

Rod how did you set up the camera to come on by selecting reverse or with a switch?

[Rocket55]

The camera comes on when reverse is selected. Although through the head unit I can turn the camera on at any time and use it as a revision mirror if needed.
