Will be interesting to see how your W series holds up to the power. They aren't the strongest box available. Matt.

Nice work mate. Looking good. What engine management are you going to run? Cheers Matt.

Car makers by law have to produce parts for a certain period of time to ensure that support is available for a reasonable length of time. Here most of us are talking about early to mid 90's vehicles that are now up to 16 years old. Most likely very little has been done to them until the last...

I would suspect the assembly cost per unit is quite low due to the volumes and automation. All the parts needed are brought in in large quantities as required, mass assembly using robots and other automated systems probably has the cost a LOT lower than you would expect. Matt.

I haven't seen a Hilux/Surf 4wd with the viscous fan yet. All the ones I have see have the trans slightly further forward, about an inch or so and electric fans. As Clint say's the factory fan setup is hard to beat. I am running twin 10in fans on a large thick aftermarket radiator and it's...

I guess all the packaging, shipping, labelling, handling and storage for all the individual parts contributes a lot to the extra cost. Matt.

3000rpm at 100km is probably a touch high. If you are going to do any open road cruising then you probably want to go for around 2500rpm. You will have excellent acceleration! Once you have a good intake setup and a custom exhaust and get the Link tuned you will have a good baseline and then...

Search online and find a ratio calculator. You wil need your tire size, final drive and top gear ratios to work out your speed at a given RPM. Before fitting the motor it's worth doing water pump, cambelt, tensioner, rebuild starter, check plugs and leads, power steer resourvoir etc. These...

That's definitely my next mod! Cheers

Lovely brackets. Nice tidy install. Matt.

I don't know how much it would cost to send to Aus but the guys in NZ make some nice gear. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/SearchResults.aspx?searchType=0001-0877-2794-&searchString=V8&searchRegion=100 Matt.

My earth was earthing correctly, after fixing that and applying 12 volts to the single pin at the front by the clutch it engages fine. The other plug is not needed in any way to engage the clutch. Cheers Matt.

Cheers - do you know which pin/plug out of the two on the left I would use - the single pin plug? Matt.

Thanks, I am running a Link ECU now, do you know if this can be rigged to run? Mine has two wires coming from this outlet which goes to a 4 pin plug with only 3 pins in it, another wire comes off the 3rd pin and goes to another plug. Cheers Matt.

I think I am okay now however I have just posted a wiring question about the air con compressor I have just got in the swaps section. It looks like it has a sensor of some sort in the side, I have applied power to the clutch and it won't engage, I guess the other harness needs a signal of some...

Now that I am finally ready to do this, I went to check my AC compressor clutch before mounting my system and the clutch doesn't engage. There is an additional wiring harness that goes into the side of the compressor, is this a speed sensor or something? If so how do I fool the compressor...

It's a front sump. The Hilux has a 2in body lift and the steering damper was removed. Cheers Matt.

Hi all, I am about to replace the gauge cluster with a 4cyl unit so I can run the tach off the ignitor. Does anyone have a wiring diagram to show which is the signal wire for the tach in the dash? I have searched around with no luck so far. Cheers Matt.

Thanks guys. I think the next mod will be to fit a V6 3L fuel tank with in tank pump to make all these problems go away. Cheers Matt.

Pump checks out okay on the bench, back in the truck with a container supplying fuel and it lights up first time. Reconnect fuel tank line and after 10 seconds cranking it fires up with no problems. Weird. Must have been an air blockage of some sort that the pump couldn't shift. Thanks to...
