It was a trip low light lol. I'm a bit of a photo hog so here are some more, mainly hilux repairs.

These are about the only snow winching spots, tight hair pin corners with rock ledges under the snow, I had a great time driving up this track.

Lots of other Toyota master cylinders will fit quite happily. The bolt pattern is common, the cylinder bore diameter is common.

The thing I found was that other 70 brake masters will bolt up to the firewall but the brake lines on the 74 attach to the master on the opposite side to other 70 series.

Glad they could help u out hulsty.

Any word on the the long range tank mate?

Gav.

Treps are 37'' Stickys, not mine unfortunately.

Radd, as Boogie said, they brake lines bolt up in a different orientation to the other master cylinders, I could change the lines, alot more work and $$ then and they would then be closer to the turbo.

Boogie, still got the tank, just havent been home on the weekends. Up at Ballarat this weekend.

Hulsty stop it your making me homesick hahaha - keep up teh posts love it.

 

[SimonInAustralia]

Haha, I think you need to chop and tub the guards, or give it some more lift, to fit those!!!

What size are the 'real' tyres on it, behind the Treps? Wondering how much more clearance there would be if they were actually fitted to your car.

 

[Hulsty]

In that pick the 33''s are on it, so image it ~2'' higher. Might bolt it on next time I go over there.

To get them to fit I would probably have to chop the outer guard out. I currently run 35'' pedes and a mate 36'' pedes with no issues.

No worries mate.
I'm in no rush to get it but hold on to it for
me and I'll get it off u at some stage.

Cheers.

Recent forecast was lots of rain, so a few of us decided to head out. Since there has been major flooding state wide, breaking the drought!

This crossing is normally a small creek ~4ft wide and only a few inches deep.

Most of the lower tracks had turned into rivers with some serious amounts of water flowing down them.

 

[Hulsty]

Got some new goodies.

 

[Clint79]

Good mate , tell me more about the turbo , bolt straight on ? Different size

 

[Hulsty]

Got a CT26-T25 adaptor for it, need to make a dump pipe flange and new hose fittings.

Turbo is smaller than the stock CT26 (which is about 1HD sized anyway) should give me 15psi fairly early in the rpm range I hope but by about 3000rpm it will be done, which is fine I rarely go over 3000rpm. Its a journal bearing turbo but has a 360 degree thrust bearing which is good.

It is
Turbine A/R .54
Compressor A/R .48

 

[Clint79]

Very nice mate , is there something wrong with your turbo ATM or trbo size , how's the intercooling thoughts going , I'm a big fan of turbod cruisers

 

[Hulsty]

Nothing wrong with the stock turbo, just I always find myself caught below 2000rpm with stuff all boost and it struggles to build while EGT's go through the roof. Intercooling is similar to what I post above, water to air, gotta put in the radiator though. Might start that on monday I got a RDO

 

[Hulsty]

Some pics of my intercooler install.
