Dit sal aleen met rygerief help as jou wiele gereeld die grond verlaat agv rally style bestuurs kunste
Met normale ry sal dit net die bakkie harder laat ry.

Two gearboxes, One, the automatic gearbox, that needs drive from the engine to keep the oil pumping in the gearbox and cannot be kept alive from the propshaft end. Two, the transfer box, the oil pump needs to be driven from either the engine side or the prop shaft side. Puting the auto box in neutra...

Knuppel

Before i finaly shut my trap on this matter and for the innocent, the transfercase on a cruiser has an oil pump. The oil pump is driven by an idler gear that sits between the high & low range selector. If you select neutral the pump is not driven. The major components in the bottom of the box wi...

I just love the crap they write in the owners manual

Knuppel

Knuppel

I am speaking under correction here but as far as i know that transfer box also has an oil pump in and by putting the t/box in neutral then it also stops that pump from turning and after a while the high bearings and gears seize! Rather remove the propshafts unless you are sure If you would like to ...

Knuppel

Geoge, 20 km is ok but 200 km is a big no! You will need to remove the props.

Knuppel

Come on Reinart, you lagging terribly behind here.

I found a guy in Nelspruit who builds the sprinter visco mod!

Some progress pics of the load body https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TeHhEoAuaWM/VrrhSckHamI/AAAAAAAAD2s/LQcbsOhxNyc/s800-Ic42/WP_20160204_15_15_48_Pro.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7EmZiC9ToQQ/VrrhSiPXerI/AAAAAAAAD2w/hkS-GeBCR1Q/s800-Ic42/WP_20160204_15_16_05_Pro.jpg https://lh3.googleus...

Almost done, waiting for the load body, changing some heat gauges and sender units. Rev Counter working. I could have been done and dusted 2 weeks ago but work comes first. The load body is prepped for colour but the right moment has not arrived to paint it. Will see if I can load some more pics in ...

Knuppel

Johan, what would the cost be of a complete unit?
How easy to add oil temp?

Knuppel

I am very happy with Madman, the mad woman can not bugger up the sytem now :D: I like madman, ONE gauge for all and its an aircraft type gauge. It will squeal if there is an issue with any of the parameters you set. You dont need to sit there and monitor 5 different gauges Currently I monitor using ...

@ Chris, the difference by fitting pre compared to post turbo is about 100deg C less on the post side.

Knuppel

Tony No worries, I had a good laugh

What you need to be careful about is taking your work home when you use a tablet. As die kalf in die put is dan is dit n ander saak maar as jy nie mooi oppas dan werk jy to 9uur in die aand en maak almal wat vir jou werk de moer in.

The KZte's biggest problem is the cylinderhead that goes. If you can live with a peplacement cost of around R18k then go for it Have two at the shop, had four but two died, anyway the two left both have plus 600k km but 8 cylheads between then. One we have chiped and detuned slightly in attemp to ma...

This afternoon I completed the exhaust. Before, I was taking short test drives with just two seperate pipes that had a mufler each but today put two into one with a y piece and added the last silencer. :shock: :shock: bloody hell but this bakkie suddenly came alive with two tons of low down torque. ...

Dis BAIE waar daai Chris

I have two kzte's. Standing 25m away from me. One 646 000km, the other 689 000km!!!!!!! Very reliable indeed! :lmao: Barring the 8 cylinder heads they consumed between the two of them. Very dark hour indeed. My criticism is based on more than 100 vehicles and not the 5 lucky ones that did not have a...

Knuppel

Yes, 100% correct. And that is why you make sure your cooling system is in perfect working order to handle the extra heat generated. Most important how ever is regulating EGT when fitting a turbo. Incorrect fuel mixture is the number one cause of engine failure on aftermarket turbo fitments and not ...

Knuppel

Agree 100%. The bottom end of a Kzte motor is capable to do a million k's but the top end aint good for nothing.

I loved those 2.4's, magic motors.

Johan, Die pyp was die bestaande pyp wat saam met die tanks gekom het. Ek het net plan gemaak met die lengte en rigting met staal pype wat van n NP200 se intake afkom. Die longrange tank het ek in 1996 gekoop en sy pyp het so saam gekom. 20 jaar later toe loop ek die tank weer raak en toe maak ek se...

Die$el, but a MR2 is Petrol yes!?

Sliiiiiiiightly different ball game compared to a diesel! was wondering why you needed injectors, fuel pumps etc

Knuppel

Maybe the actuator on the diff got some water in similar to what happens to the Land Cruisers. The water ingress and the resulting corrosion can happen to any Cruiser with difflock, even the pavement crawlers in Sandton! They have a rather stupid breather on the actuator and this is where the proble...

Knuppel

Rusti,
Toyota did it it right on many occasions but all motor manufacturers have a few embarrassments.

IMHO the KZTE was their biggest embarrassment!

Progress report. Cab side I am now done! Baring the carpet and ceiling. Busy with the load body Why the hell would one need to have 39 holes drilled all over the place is beyond me :shock2: Closing them all up. The only putty on this body will unfortunately be as per picture. I tried to get replacem...

Knuppel

Intercooler takes care of the heat generated by the turbo on the intake side. Compressing air generates heat and then also makes the air less dense. By then cooling it down through the intercooler the air becomes more dense which equals more air into the combustion chamber which equal more bang with...

1968 1300 beetle. R800. I bought it with my saved pocket money from mowing lawn and lifting dog $h1t

Knuppel

@ Diesel, have you had turbo experience?

Knuppel

If you want to turbo a motor you can do it but you need to be 200 % familiar with all the pit falls.
I have done it and the 2.8 d was actually my first one. Yes i cooked it but have never cooked one since. There are many lessons to be learnt before you go that route.

Do your homework.

Knuppel

Have come across this a couple of times already. The hazard switch gets stuck in no mans land. Then when you use it again it will be fine. Usually happens when you use it to say thanks for the yellow lane drivers and then you dont depress the button all the way in to realeas it. It is the first thin...

Thanks for the compliments Guys!

I just received an offer for R100k and its not even finished yet

I said 3 hours work. not by 18:00. work and life still happens first then comes play work

Only did 1 hour yesterday. maybe today...... maybe not

I am about 3 hours work away from starting.

Knuppel

Eish, can you not see the pictures in my previous post post regarding the suspension ???

Knuppel

Toyrover, if I were to do a mod like yours I would try and copy an existing vehicles setup, maybe a 80 Series Land Cruiser. Knuppel, who did the conversion on your vehicle and what coil overs did you use? I dont know who fitted the suspension, i bought it like that. But I like very much. Its a Cami...

Knuppel

N Cam belt can nie skree nie! as hy skree dan is daar groot poef aan die gang. Idler bearing wat gesiez het of so iets

As jy belde het wat skree dan is dit die fan of aircon belde! Begin eerder daar stywer trek. Jy kan nie die cambelt trek nie!.

Knuppel

Nee wat, daai belt het mos sy eie tensioner. Daar is niks om styf te trek nie.

Klink dalk eerder of jy iewers n los draat het of so iets dat dit dalk jou diesel pomp is wat so kletter as hy opstart.

Knuppel

Toyota's heat gauge is notorious for feeding you crap They have been designed to appear steady and they are rock steady and when they eventually move then its usually too late already. Some interesting reading and a fix for you in the link provided. http://neuralfibre.com/paul/4wd/toyota-landcruiser...

Knuppel

Nope, I need to tell the ecu when the gearbox is in L & 4. The existing wiring on the Shifter is not user friendly. Then I want the Park lock to be released by the brake pedal. The solenoid that does that job is part of the complicated Shifter electronics. I have used micro switches to replace t...

Knuppel

I like, very nice!

Knuppel

Reinart, have not checked it but that is just a matter of lengthening or shortening the levers so to get the right amount of travel between shifter and gearbox lever. That is not a show stopper at all. If it does not shift enough then lengthen the lever on the shifter to get more travel. So I have ...

Knuppel

Maybe something like this?

Knuppel

Can confirm, got the 650 and never use the camera but otherwise brilliant.
Mine is used daily and the only issue i have is that the power on button rubber has perished after 4 years of use of wich 3 were in the hot Ghana sun.

My kinda toys, very nice!
