Once I got that sorted I needed to cut out for the blower and mount it.. I also made up the intake to the blower using 3 1/2" pipe as I wanted the option of putting a bigger throttle body on at a later stage if needed.. I also had to get a bypass valve which ended up coming from a mini cooper..

Once I got all of the intake all folded and tigged up I made the top plate Now the whole height thing is almost the same as the factory lower intake so Im pretty happy as I wanted the whole under bonnet thing going on.. I used rivnuts to hold the top plate on but they failed miserably and then...

After all of that I needed to make the actual intake to house/mount the blower on.. So I got a mate to fold up some checker plate:eek: and I cut out the ports etc to match the lower intake runners..:D I have done this on a very tight budget but it can be done..;)

Hi guys, It's been truly years since I have really posted anything but I have been just researching and reading etc so really never left..:D Anyway most know I did a lex conversion into a landcruiser a few years ago.. and I was looking at putting on a blower when the time came to it.. Well that...

lol.... you'll just have to wait an see.. Also might have to have a chat too.. there seems to be some confusing information out there.. and seeing as you have a little knowledge about what I want to do.. you could help.. :D

Thats awesome info.. but i have a plan.. All will be revealed in good time..:D

So you say for the same amouint of boost say 6-8 psi on the 90 versus 112 I'd get an xtra 30 kw by just having the 112.. Might want to explain that a bit more.. as psi in should be the same kw out i would have thought.. UNless you are tuning more add ecu, decompress heads ( new pistons etc..)...

Hi Kelvin, Yip i was going to get a switchable controller setup for cruising and have it ready to roll offroad as well.. Bert's truck will be a winch challenge truck, he is doing his extreme for reliablility and hates things breaking so he's doing the overboard thing but I guess it means it's...

It was mentioned that the internals not sure exactly but there are fins/veins ? which are spot welded..?? Havent seen inside of one so can't really comment, why im asking Bert ( he's been speaking to you on the phone)and I and basicly doing the same thing but he has deaper pockets then me..:D...

Thanks guys this is invaluable info.. Just I have heard that you need to weld up the tq and change ratios.. as they are too tall? Was thinking of swapping out a mitsi variant which has better gear ratios but keep the valve body as std.. only thing changed is the gears.. Thats interesting about...

Thanks Dante, This is what I need to make an informed decision.. I'll be running 35's and 4.1 gears.. (I know I can change the ratios there) but Im just solely trying to work out if the auto needs better ratios or keep it standard.. As the standard auto is setup for road use on a car that has...

Hi guys.. been a while:eek: , Ive built a new truck and goes very well.. but the gearbox is starting to fail.. bearings etc and over the years I have found Auto, uncut loom transfer adaptor to transfer case so it bolts to the a340 box Now I've heard that the tq needs to be strengthened to help...
