Ok, got my PWR 4X10 water/air intercooler, bought a rad/fan and pump from siliconeintakes.com, just checked my compression and I have 600-620 in each cylinder. So, the install will begin next week, looks pretty easy, all I have to do is fab up a bend from the turbo to the intercooler. Found a place behind the cab for the rad and fan.

Pics coming soon.

I have an after market a/c system, the mines put them in some of them here, works great. So yes I do have the condenser in the front, I had the air/air intercooler there as well - and the 8274 winch - so I wanted to get something out of there - and I want to see how much of a difference this water/air system makes.
 
Just made a quick video of a drive out of my fishing camp. I had taken the intercooler out so I could get my new water/air intercooler all jigged up. So I couldn't really flog it too much as the EGT's would bump up pretty quickly - especially with the snowmobile and gas/gear on the back:)

Batteries for HZJ79R

Hello

I tried searching the forum but had no luck. :frown:

Could anyone please give me the correct size of batteries to use in the duel system of the HZJ79R ?

Thanks
 
hummm, if i knew how i would post up my vid of the LJ78 on the one winter run. a speed run on virgin snow covered trails. tons of fun. the coils rock off road, eh Louis?
you looked like you were 21 again and having a blast.
 
Hi Kubu, I am using Odessey 1050's, they are a bit smaller than the regular battery that fits, but I made my own battery tray in order to fit the duals. The tray is 23 inches long. I'll take some more measurements today for you.

Wayne it was fun, just wish I had my intercooler so I could have really opened it up. The coils kick ass, night and day between the leafs.
 
Thanks guys, I have been playing a bit with it and I am pretty impressed. My front locker isn't working and I will be fixing it when I get my longfield birf's - but even now it is rocking.

So here are some pictures of the battery setup I changed to, dual Oddessy trolling thunders, I can run all my electrics and winch at the same time under full load and the truck doesn't go down in RPM, there is lots of juice in those batteries and they can be drained and charged fast.

I also removed the warn s***ty solenoids and bought an Albright solenoid - amazing! I routed the controller plug into the grill and will install a switch in the dash when I get time. That winch pulls like mad with the mods. Will do some more mods later on.

The intercooler is working great, just running water in it now as I have to remove it to do a valve set and some other work. The intercooler rad is big and I mounted it in the bed as you can see. I don't carry anything on my truck but I will be making a protective cover for it. It seems to be very efficient as it hardly gets warm while the intercooler itself is always nice and cool even after a hard drive. I am getting better performance out of it that the air/air intercooler that is for sure. The intercooler piping is crude but works for now - it goes in for fabing in the next couple of weeks, will clean that up.

The empty battery tray is for my dual ARB heavy duty air compressors, will be able to run my air tools at capacity with no probs.

Next on the list this summer, new marlin crawler r151 (rated for 1000hp), new transfer case, ceramic coated turbo housings and manifold. Next year the engine comes apart and everything gets replaced and coated.

Oh, and the truck goes in for a repaint this summer - and everything else gets powder coated.
 
money money money money...

remember that song?
it is only money, can't take it with you and if you leave it behind the kids will just blow it.

nice to see you are enjoying yours.

<smile>
 
for some reason it always looks cooler with a 40 series...
i would enjoy that run...

<i do not agree that air is best>
 
Ya Im not sold on the air myself - elocker is nice.

You'd need a snorkel - have one on yours? That isn't the deepest water crossing either, there is one spot that could be somewhere on the windshield on my truck - so maybe 5-6 feet.

both trucks have snorkels, i have water locked in the past. not a lot of fun or cheap.

the deepest i have made it through is half way up the windshield, the pucker factor was definately there.

of course if i bring the topless ragtop then it could get interesting... fast.
