FatBoy's Random chat thread and his D22

How's yours for power between 4 and 5 gear, theres that slow pickup range between 80 and 100 when hitting 5gear, is the exhaust and cooler going to help in that range

 

[FatBoy89]

Definately. It feels like it doesn't need to try as hard more torque allthe way now! Exhaust cranked bottom
End and this cooler as much as I didn think it would has made the top end much more torqey

 

[d22dave]

That's what I like to hear, it makes forking out all that coin for the I/c easier. Exhaust will have to wait till I get my tax back

 

[FatBoy89]

I may remove the fan I don't think it's honestly that necessary..

 

[FatBoy89]

I'll try cheap ways around this bonnet rattle forst

 

[d22dave]

The kit has one in it anyway, you never got a fan with yours? Older kit or didn't come from wreckers

 

[FatBoy89]

Maybe some foam around to cooler.. I don't think that'll suppress it though.. Then maybe attempt to make my own airbox to turbo piping that takes a different route..

 

[FatBoy89]

Came from my wrecker mate with my exhaust remember? Old fan was broken and the fan I purchased is possibly a tad thicker and impacts the airbox piping

 

[d22dave]

Mate has a ratchet strap holding his hilux bonnet shut

 

[FatBoy89]

Haha yeah I had to ratchet strap a mates gearbox in once... Snapped both mounts at son of trials

I knew that I thought early kit might not of had a fan

Just as handy as cable ties, they are friggin great

 

[FatBoy89]

Oh yeah it has, just wasn't working

 

[FatBoy89]

I don't think it's THAT necessary but I would like it for offroad use.. Just need a very slim one

 

[d22dave]

Can't get it through cross country

 

[FatBoy89]

Yeah probably could but they'd probably charge an arm and a leg..
I might mod my airbox piping make it a bit more versatile also..

 

[d22dave]

Options are great but sometimes there's too many

 

[FatBoy89]

Too true.. Like what mod next? Uca's and rear shackles? Or body lift? Or sliders? Rear TJM bar? Bullbar? Canopy? Fridge?

 

[d22dave]

Yeah I,ve ordered my cooler and the exhaust will be tax time. Still might put a canvas canopy on my tray yet. The flexiglass one catches to much wind

 

[FatBoy89]

Yeap I love mods. Hate the money involved. Maybe if I just won 10g lotto
