Looks like a decent truck there mate, good write up. I drove my first 70 4.5 v8 ute the other day around site and i had quite a giggle going on, i quite like them.

yep they have a lot of torque down low haha

 

[jonluke]

They use a lot of fuel to get their torque too, nice car used to have one myself, was good everywhere except my pocket, that 4.2 diesel used to chew some fuel too. Your car looks the goods not much left for you to do

 

[nathand22]

just kidding, nice work on the ute dude.

 

[Krankin]

yep^



TRAITOR ALERT

 

[bullwinkle]

My old man had one of these. Did over 600,000kms in it. My nephew has it now.

Fella across the road had got a V8 one with stacks at the back of the cab. Sounds unbelievably tough.

 

[scooba_285]

that is an awesome rig, nice write up

 

[rescue]

Not a bad looking rig but at the end of the day it is still a TOYOTA!

 

[maddogrc]

so the supercharger install went well and is done 35s feel like 31s and pulls hard in any gear

Man. Wish they made those in a dual cab.

They make wagons that a talented engineer could convert to a ute.

 

[Leprechaun]

Excellentay!!!

you and I must be the only fans of blowers on this forum....

for that I hereby commend you no longer a traitor....just as long as you only put up engine bay pics

Do you know one? Could you put me in touch?

 

[Lord_Muck]

Not a fan of bricks with wheels, but no doubting they are a tough vehicle.

Nevermind the brand of car tho this build thread is pretty good, posted over a couple of days, plenty of pics and descriptions, keeps people reading, got a bunch of bargains, and fitted it all up himself, plus it was all done in the Wild Wild West so congrats on putting it all together so well being limited to WA availability of sh*t.

Pretty well thought out rig and it leaves room for the bike, tho no doubt it keeps getting harder and harder to get the bike on the more you keep raising it haha. I have the same problem, but i live on a hill so at home i'm ok, gravity helps!

Now for some vids of 4WD'ing with that new blower on there!!! What is the model of the blower, it's a centrifugal supercharger by the looks of it, but not new i imagine?

Looks much better with the alloys on in my opinion.

Good setup mate. Looks like it belongs there.

Also noticed, how is the aircon in that ute? looks like the lines have been cut

 

[maddogrc]

this whole thread is mainly copy paste from another forum, this build thread was only posted in 1 night on here but its been going on for maybe half a year?

haha, thats my mates bike, instead i have this which i bought halves with him

the supercharger is an old piece of kit, its a twin screw roots type, i think its pushing about 8psi? currently have only turned the fuel screw on the pump a bit over a 1/4, yet i know with most turbo kits the dyno tuners go 3/4 to 1 full turn of extra fuel. will put some more fuel in after i fit an EGT gauge (now on its way from america).
