the turbo should spin freely by hand any time I guess, when mines idling it doesn't spin - but I could spin it by hand if i want. but if i snap the throttle really quickly and let the revs drop back, it will start spinning.

thirded. i know of a guy who travels whk to wellington every so often too...

take thermostat out if it just for burnouts
probably more likely to overheat then though because the water will be going around too fast without "soaking" the heat in, end up with hot spots in the engine.
sounds like it doesn't really matter though

Had the wheels off today
Hope this helps.
cheers for that. do you know of anyone local with a parts hilux by any chance, ln106 or ln130? need a set of calipers of one of them...
-
he's breaking the law.
sue him.

random question; got some pics of your front calipers?
trying to ID what model hilux my calipers are off, as I can't get seal kits otherwise

Theres a few Whakatanians here so figure someone may be able to help, however slim
I had my car broken in to the other night, not much actually stolen but cost me a fair bit to replace everything they damaged. They only seemed to be after stereo gear, despite there being plenty of other valuable things within easy reach.
Apparently there's been alot of this happening in town lately, i know of atleast 6 or 7 burglaries in the last week alone. If anyone else has seen anything suspicious, at their place or the neighbours, know people who suddenly have alot of CD's which obviously aren't theirs, random stuff dumped on or around their property, anything weird at all - flick me a PM or post it here.
I'm not really expecting anything useful regarding my break-in to come from this thread, its just more of a warning to everyone in whakatane, be wary of shady people hanging around or weird goings on in the day / night. Lock your sh!t up and put it out of sight.

talk to freindly fitter at work he = get round bar + lathe
+ approx 30min labour @ $75 / hour = $37.50 for four.

what's the red one in the background? not a ke25 is it? or is it your subie?
and this lil fella, Don't know much about it though, just thought it was choice.
-
you should be able to fill it easy, just get a suction thingy with a flexi hose on the end. i managed to fill a w55 box in a ke25 tunnel no probs, and they're a tight fit

that would be all good, whats your cell? otherwise text me - 027 2808 288.

either should be alright - its at a hotel. where are you based fuel?
-
two packages i think, both about the size of a decent intercooler. needs to be picked up from symonds st in the city.
-
Is anyone coming from Auckland to the Bay of Plenty in the next few days?
I need a couple of things picked up and brought to Whakatane. You will be reimbursed for petrol / hassles
Please txt if you can help.
Cheers

yeah you can get them cut and joined. thats what I had done to mine to suit ae85 diff - T50 box. any engineer should be able to do it.
they just chuck it in the lathe and cut them both, then join them up again. it is a fairly straight forward job and commonly done.
otherwise as othe rpeople have said, if its already the right length and the uni's are the same size - just pull them apart and swap them around so you got the matching spline.

Opo's a hole.
Nothing wrong with "Bropotiki" eh!!!
looks like this is sorted now but I can grab them if you need...

ae86 diff wont bolt straight in, you need to change the mounts as with a hilux diff.
ae86 diff won't need shortening aslong as you run fwd offset mags, same goes for the early model hilux diffs.
so no differences there, only difference between them is the price and strength:
ae86 diffs sell for around $700 with an open diff head, if you want a diff with an LSD head you'll be paying over $1k probably unless you hunt around for ages. you can pick hilux diffs up for about $200 with open diff heads, and another $200 will get you an LSD unit to bolt in.
a 4agte will blow a ae86 diff head to pieces relatively easy, a hilux diff will last forever. so for half the price and twice the strength, i'd save up and get a hilux diff...you wont get anything that'll handle a 4agte and bolt in for under $500.

supposed to be 88kw factory...dont know if thats at the flywheel or at the wheels though...

yes, turboing a bluetop is possible. im fairly sure all bluetops are the same compression though.
4agzes are either 8.0 (older models) or 8.9 (later models) compression ratios. if you are wanting a decent reliable engine, go with a 4agze. otherwise if you're just wanting to have a bit of fun with low boost, stick with stock everything.
just get a manifold made up, stick a turbo on, plumb up a stock 4agze intercooler then plumb your oil lines up and you should be sweet. there are all sorts of other little things which crop up when doing this though too (all of which i am not totally sure on).
I do know that map sensored 4ages (like bluetops) dont like boost, so you need to put a 1 way valve somewhere along the line or something like that. if you want to go for it, it is definitely possible. but i wouldn't count on it lasting long
i was going to go down the same track as you but in the end decided theres no way I would be able to "just run it on low boost", eventually i would want to put more in so am running with a 4agze block instead for reliability.

i paid $400 for engine, gearbox and diff...
i didnt have to take a WOF sheet in, he just failed me on the stuff he wasnt happy with and I fixed it up and went back. some of the WOF-related items he failed me on was excess play in a wheel bearing, windscreen wipers not working properly, couple of bolts missing on break lines (original lines). the rest of it was mod-related.
he didnt charge me for the re-check, and actually met up with me on a sunday to put the plate on (i was out of town).
-
Probably cost you $200
where did you get that price from? try $450...price has just gone up i think...used to be $400. and thats anywhere, not just chch.

yeah, ours got broken in to while it was up the drive behind our house, under security lights.
they couldn't get the headunits out so just took the faceplates then smashed the headunits.
had some shady guy running through our property the other day too, had long-ish hair, striped shirt. not sure if he was taking a shortcut or got disturbed doing something...
big bat ftw
