Thread: Sitec's 101..

you remotely linking to the LT230?

Sort of..... Here's a pic of the previously mentioned 'Purple Ninety'.. He's used the same ZF box as I'll be using, and has made up a simple plate conversion with interlinking shaft.....

And this is the shaft that he made.... using the old prop flange out of the ZF box, and part of the input shaft from a LR Gearbox.... Not sure how strong this bit will be.. Still working on that. I'm thinking that I'll get the LT 230 input gear broached to suit the splines on the ZF...

It would allow it to be a bit shorter, but would the ZF output go far enough into the LT230?

You'd be right with guessing where the picture came from, it is indeed Nicks one. I've chatted about it in the past, but I'm not one to go out of my way to find friends of facesbook so I'm not his friend on there.

Apologies for the dead link, photobucket is a pain in safari on an iphone, the link worked for me, but obviously desktop stuff isn't so keen?

I suspect the LT230 and axles will cope fine with 200bhp or so through it. There's a few yanks on pirate 4x4 with a lot of love for them (having given them a lot of abuse to test the theory) and even reckon their better than Atlas transfer boxes (the darling of the Modified US off road scene) which is high praise indeed.

That's good to know re the LT 230. As for getting the transfer case close enough to the box... Not sure until I have it all sat on the floor in the workshop. All I know is that rear prop is going to be short!!

Finally... I have a large Diesel in my shed!!!! A quick run around with the tape and it looks like it will fit!!! The only issues form what I can see is the sump, which will have to be reversed, and poss the compressor clearance against the LH chassis rail. More to follow once I have it running on the floor!

I thought you had done this before - it did fit before I assume .

Looking good Simon,

That turbo looks massive compared to what we run on 4BD1s.
