Will check the lock of the gearbox on the way home today, my troll has been sitting at the factory having goodies fitted so have not driven it

Re: First Impressions 4.8 with turbo
Ok Fig's are in for Hellboy! Torque about 490nm so not bad, 120kw he is only allowing booste of 0.3 bar!! So have given Thys the go ahead to do the upgrades, gearbox cooler, boost compensator, larger fuel pump, Timing gear 60-2 or 36-1, getting rid of the dizzy and fitting 3 x twin coil pack, larger airfilter with new airbox linked to my snorkel
150-160 kw here we come
150-160 kw here we come

Re: First Impressions 4.8 with turbo
P S was quite a bit out with my pricing on the turboing with the rand/Dollar we are now closer to R85K for a turbo conversion on the 4.8 and only about R6-7K cheaper on the petrol 4.2 GQ

Re: First Impressions 4.8 with turbo
PPS the standard 4.2 petrol GQ pushes about 70Kw on the rear wheels on the dyno so 120Kw is a 71% increase but 150kw sounds better with 114% increase

Re: First Impressions 4.8 with turbo
This is impressive, would love to see some pictures of the GQ setup, so the internals of the 4.2&4.8 petrol is up to the task for a turbo but not the 4.5 petrol if I understand correctly?

Re: First Impressions 4.8 with turbo
Rudolf, yes correct there needs to be work on the heads and con rods need to be replaced on the 4.5
