Re: My GU 4.2 Turbo Diesel
Ja Tinus, dis n moeilike call om te maak. Gewoonlik as mens n gekraakte piston op tel is daar nie ander skade nie, maar dis nie altyd so nie.
O ja Errol, veramic coating is DIK duur! R500/piston kop en R350/precomp. Daai geld gaan ek eerder gooi na stainless mandrel boost pype en dalk n nuwe stainless exhaust by Abel. Ek beplan nie om 600+ EGT's te ry nie so glo nie die prys regverdig my doel nie.

As die piston breek ga die head en conrod deur die blok nie grappies wees nie .....dan koop ek eerder reg pistòns big ends en n head gasket.....imho

Yep, en my idee van veilige EGT is 650! Ek moet dalk die dieselpomp sommer vroegtydig bietjie toedraai?Tinus lotz wrote:Michael wrote:Ja Tinus, dis n moeilike call om te maak. Gewoonlik as mens n gekraakte piston op tel is daar nie ander skade nie, maar dis nie altyd so nie.

Arme Michael het tans baie hooi op sy vurk - ek sal hom pla om na Chuck se pistons te kyk wanneer sy groen gevaarte eers weer heel is...

Re: My GU 4.2 Turbo Diesel
Ok so FINALY got my patrol going again and struggeling to drive it slow as it feels really smooth. I can really feel a huge difference in vibration insude the car with the balanced engine, it revs up much easier and cant wait to give it beans
I settled for only balancing the engine, building a new downpipe as my old one was very sad and not nearly what I have in mind for making power, and doing the precom mod as the excersize was not cheap.
I will also get my newly built intake manifold tomorrow, but will fit it a bit later.
I have also done some lobster bending on my intake pipe which looks very cool and will be doing all my boost pipes as well

Re: My GU 4.2 Turbo Diesel
Seen and heard in person this morning. Very nice. Engine sounds so smooth. Petrol-like smoothness.

Michael, watse verf het jy gebruik om die fenders te verf? moet mens eers n primer vir die plastiek gebruik?Michael wrote:So while I was busy with the bonnet, fenders and rims I thought..... what the heck, lets paint the bumper and fender flares as well

Re: My GU 4.2 Turbo Diesel
Jo! Its been more than a year since I have posted anything new on my Patrol...... been so busy with work that I could just not find time.
Anyhow, There are some exciting things in the pipeline so will be sharing them soon.
But before I start on the engine mods, I managed to swop my 33" wheel & tyres for a set of 35's and I am very chuffed
