Yeah he's been doing that for years, and yes they can make decent power as evidenced by many clips of said 2Hs on the drag strip. Not the sort of setup thats built for long term reliability though, short term fun is where there at. I think those...
Thanks @Indestructible 47 that was a good rig actually, good lean tune is absolutely mandatory and a cooling system that's absolutely in order before you start. Even with every possible precaution, the coolant temperature would always start to...
@AussieHJCruza had a hj60 turbo'd that wasn't a bad rig at all. Quality Intercooler is a must, but most importantly, as with any idi turbo diesel, it will need a good lean tune.
My tips would be:
Buy the terrain tamer kits, they are comprehensive and use all high quality parts. And are correct for your car.
Use a solid pinion spacer, forget the crush sleeve rubbish as well.
if your rebuilding your diff, buy a new...
I'm having a similar issue in my 79. Jmacx aren't mugs with these things - they have done thousands and maje gear that works.
Swap the rear and front tires and check for any difference.
Check the wheel bearings. Take the hub off and get in...
Whats the history of the IP? Notice any changes with fuel consumption? Oil consumption? If so over how many miles have you noticed it to burn x amount?
It's all just click bait rubbish comparisons. It's how these people make their money.
There has not been a like for like with weight, tire size and a tune yet. And they'll continue to string it out to make as many money making click bait videos...
Bean counting exercise!
With the two boxes side by side, there's is no comparison.
H151F is bulkier in total size.
Internally, the gears are 30% wider, and heavier. More tooth contact, and more bearing surface.
From memory, H151F gears are...
In regards to the R151, I have seen busted 3rd gears, both input and output shafts, stripped splines, stuffed syncros at low kms and more.
360 diffs and gearboxes (melbourne based) has a video on YouTube that explains some of the issues and...
I'll be the third aussie here to say a hard pass on the R151. One of our old work N/A 1hzs broke one when it was let of the clutch a little aggressively. Same with the H55f. POS of a transmission in all honesty (yes I'm a toyota man).
I'm in the same camp as @AussieHJCruza on the r151 5 speed.
They aren't well regarded in Cruisers in Australia.
5th gear failures are well documented, among other things.
I'm not sure I'd invest in one.
Comparing the R151, and H151F used...
What sort of torque do these make? I'd be concerned about the longevity of an R1## transmission. Have seen 3 broken behind hopped up 1HD-T engines, circa 150kw, 550-600 nm at the tyres.
Are you running a larger offset on the rear though? It's not how big your tires are, it's when the offset changes that's the problem. How many kms on the vehicle?
Constantly!
Then I click "View Cart" scroll to the bottom line, have a mild heart attack, then . . .
