Nice rig, I've always liked the blue/silver colour scheme. Goes well with those bling alloys too. :bigthumb:

I can see them now.. couldn't a second ago :)

Another Shorty.. you obviously have good taste :bigthumb:

[BigMav]

yeah they just popped up for me too as i was looking at it, had to edit my post. Its all good.

[TUFFRANGIE]

thanks guys, i photochopped the back off my car and used your tray off shute and combined the two- it looks awesome. Shorties do rock but shorty trays are better :wink:
Those rims are sitting in my shed at the moment i have black sunraysia's on it now but they do look bling especially when polished 8) .

[TUFFRANGIE]

The Claws are ON!!!
Warn 8000lb Low Mount Winch now fitted
TB42E with Autronic ECU going in next week
Ridepro shocks fitted, 78 series front, GQ rear, they give great flex and give the 3 in lift justice unlike the old shocks which were limiting the travel a fair bit.
Set of Lightforce 240 Blitz now installed, they are awesome performance for their price especially with the blue covers, nice white light.

Can't wait, the truck is coming along nicely, the new bar should be getting raised soon for the bodylift. Here are a few photos of me stuffing around on the farm.

Very nice and tidy mate.
How does it go with the supercharger on it?
8)

[TUFFRANGIE]

Thanks buddy, I like your rig too, wouldn't mind a ute but just a bit big for me.


It goes very well, just saving up for an intercooler at the moment so we can wind it up a bit more

[Crooksey]

Bloody aweosme setup mate, thats bout exactly what i wanna do with mine. If u dont mind me asking a few Q's

The arb bar what are they worth?
where abouts did you mount the supercharger, was there any other mods that you had to do.
what was the cost of the suppercharger setup along with ecu? did u fit it your self of get some one to do it?

sorry bout all the questions but im looking into converting to forced induction in the future, and any help would be great

Cheers

Gday,

ARB Bar new is around 1000 bucks, can pick a decent one up from the trading post for 200 or more

The supercharger mounts where the power steering resevoir sits on the petrol models. So this needs to be moved, the fan needed to be cut to clear the idler pulley, custom brackets made up for the charger. Dual battery moved back. Custom piping under the bonnet and stainless airbox and snorkel. I need a power steering cooler and intercooler. Injectors need to be changed to have over 150kw at wheels. Bigger fuel pump and surge tank. I think that is it.

I bought an efi motor and transferred that into the car at the same time,
Motor-$1000
Computer-$2000
Supercharger (second hand)-$2000
Install, misc bits(heaps) and Tune-$4-$5k

Any more q's just ask

Rob

[Iggy]

Sounds great!!! When are you taking me for a drive? hahaha.

[Crooksey]

Thanks Rob, thats just about all i needed to know at this point it time. supercharging is way down the "To Do" list but i like to collate as much info as possible before i commence doing anything really

150kw :shock: :shock: :shock: :bigthumb:

Very nice dude! What sort of boost is it pushing? Any plans for an intercooler? You said it was dyno-tuned: what kinda power and torque is she making?
Cheers.

P.S. Why cant I see any of the older pics??? They just come up as a red X in a box ??

[FluBBa]

Sweet... what model blower is it? s or t trim? and who made the brackets for it?

Cheers Dan

[TUFFRANGIE]

Now intercooled with big pwr front mount. Engine run much smoother and revs out nicer.

Not sure on what trim the charger is, where would it say or how do you tell the difference.

Approx 8psi boost it is putting in.

[89 GQ]

Looking nice, can you tell me what difference you notice between the simex's compared to the claws?

Cheers chris

That blue plate on the side will tell you... in my case its V2, its just how you tell the different sizes & gears (loud/quiet)
