Better still as long as its not a top speed race I'll stick some 29's on ours;)

Dunno, talk has gotten us onto page 16 without any horses being let out of the paddock.Quote:

which brings me onto i remember seeing somewere (i think it was u dougal)that a engine rebuild kit cost around $1200 (rings, pistons etc etc) is this a genuine kit? if not what is it? also what things should i be looking for when doing a rebuild? should i get a new crank for a 4bd1T or just check the existing one?
what is the part number for the head gasket?
may as well start getting things on a roll ;)
oh and deranged that is one very nice rangie i would love to see that thing do u hav any video's of it?
Why rebuild? I only know two which have needed a rebuild - Dougal's, and one that DaveS bought which had been cooked when a red hose blew.Quote:

Just bolt on a turbo (and intercooler if you wish), fit EGT, turn up the fuel, and bother about any of the other bits if they break or fall off ;) :D
Oh yeh, its super special.... super gutless. His secret is long steep down hills and tail winds, and trust me it wasnt doing it easy i was in fear of my life!!! :oQuote:

Cheif, dont upset the Isuzu lovers, there very passionate about there rattely smoke machines. It makes me wonder what they get up to in there locked garages with them.... im sure i saw dobbo dry humping his county once :twisted:
but even I, as a v8 lover, would love to start a 2nd project truck for touring, 130 with an Isuzu with plenty of boost... yep that Isuzu with 60psi or what ever it was on youtube sounds good, and i normally dont like the sound of diesels.... its either that or a puma 130.
Exactly, don't rebuild them if they don't need it.Quote:

Then it was dusted due to a bad aircleaner (not donaldson) -> rebuild 3
On rebuild 3 I used the wrong rings, 27,000km later -> rebuild 4.
Now it's good, hasn't even leaked any oil in the last 6 months. Not that it's been far in the last 6 months.:angel:
I've got 3, the only one that will do 140km/hr, easily......at all:angel:.....is my turboed RR, that's on the engine governor!Quote:

well i get the jist to just leave it as is :o considering everything seems pretty good i was going to get a compression test done by my mate just to make sure but he said if it hasnt got any problem starting,isnt blowing weird coloured smoke,isnt making funny noises and still has 60psi oil pressure it is most likely to be fine :D
so looks like i just start looking for a turbo and intercooler i was going to use a T25 of a td5 i hav been told even though they r small they can still put out some good flow etc etc or try and find a water cooled garret model ATD-T25 like my army workshop manuals suggest for the 6x6's....
as for the intercooler i am going to put it in the same spot as rijidij but i just dont know were to start looking for one :( will a td5 one be good enough? or do i need bigger?
was going to get a late model r380 pull it apart and do a bit of a rebuild and then put it in (can only dream of having a 9speed road ranger but now i am starting to really dream:eek:)or get rid fo the lt85 santana and get a lt95 or just do what isuzurover said and just wait for something to break:angel:
also sorry dullbird but looks like this thread has turned into a isuzu thread :D not much posting was done by the puma owners anyways ;)
