BlownCorona Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 wanna buy a really small SC pully? without intercooling it will make your engine slower and it also wont be able to switch the blower on and off lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 that's not what the previous owner of my old crown thought. imagine my horror as i cruise down the central north island, Christchurch bound in a sight unseen crown that i knew had a small pulley so id i thrown a boost gauge into my carry on luggage with the thought of checking it but never did. got bored somewhere around Te Kuiti and plugged it in. 17psi so much heat it struggled to go up large hills, and when it started to rain in wellington it got substantially faster lol. thank fuck the original pully was in the boot. cool project man, I hope you figure out how to make the blower howl more, i wasn't ever able to get much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is tons closer. Defo pays to check your full range of steering too. On some vehicles, the link raises and lowers although its sweep. And some it moves forward and back. Fyi, the 2000 era 2wd Hilux draglink is same geometry but has a dip in the centre. Bolts up to the earlier shapes and gives a bit more clearance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXFORD Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Some guys just swap the calipers side to side, and run them upside down so the long bolt is away from obstacles. Bleed nip will be on bottom so will have to roll the ute on its roof to bleed them, or could remove, put a block of wood between and bleed up the correct way. I wasn't aware of thickness differences to be honest. Could be a year thing or maybe petrol vs diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Swapsies idea sounds good. The calipers were off a 22r equipped lux so il find some diesel ones to compare otherwise flip it will do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Does it need the clutch on the s/c? Looks like minusing that would give you a bit more real estate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Id rather keep the clutch so the SC14 isnt just pumping heat all the heat all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Would something like the top tank off this work? https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/mitsubishi/radiators/listing/4647905590 I have one with a mystery leak that I couldn't be bothered trying to solve so I just got a replacement rad..

HighLUX Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Might be a bit too wide looking at those measurements the top tank is 670mm x 50mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 if you paid yourself a dollar an hour for all the multitudes of fucking around you've done you could afford to just buy a radiator that fits perfectly and does exactly what you want it to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
