V8 rad has bottom left and top right outlet/inlet as you look into the engine bay if that helps.

I have a wired put together from Ebay setup in my LHD Russian truck and it is acceptable enough picture quality on a 7" TFT screen to cover my blind side on junctions. Less than £50 total IIRC. I works on a get it up and running and change what doesn't work basis. I am more than happy to use it for reversing or other manouvering and it is giving me just about enough information with moving traffic at distance that I haven't taken out too many overtaking chavs yet.

I'd go with the whole car, it gives all the bits. Sorely tempted. My 110 has a happy enough 3.5 EFi but after seeing that thing go I now want more! Just trying to decide if I want to ditch the R380 and go with the autobox. It will be a quicker conversion if I stay manual plus I'd want to run it on gas so MS gives me switch maps Just when I should be getting on with other things....

I don't speak Toyota, I think it was a SWB Land Cruiser? LS400 V8 from a '92 car with stock ECU. Mightily impressed with it's ability to go from nothing idle to full chat in an instant and having 50% more torque and power available in a nice compact lump. Did your mate sell his other one?

Resurrecting an oldish thread. I saw one of these (Lexus V8 in Toyota truck) trialling at the weekend and was simply left in awe. I assume this is in the car now? What sort of fuel consumption is he getting in a Defendery type vehicle?

Yes we have the same BOC ones. Fine so long as you don't touch any hot bits. One pair for steel and one pair kept clean for ally

I'm on about the ATB, torque biasing ones. I wasn't aware they did plate type

It's not an oil leak, it's my active corrosion reduction system

A Quaife diff won't be much use for off road use, it won't operate as a locker would as you will still lose drive if one wheel is unloaded

Has it been line bored? That would mess up your centre to centre distance

Thanks, I need to be looking elsewhere: the BLOS carb and it's slot. I took the tube out of the carb and feel the V shaped slot needs to be larger. At present the slot is about 45mm long tapering from about 9-10mm to nothing. Rather than ruining the tube I have I will make another larger tube and see how that fares. I expect you can get spares, I know they do a Type D but by the time Ive tracked one down I can have one made.

Yes, I've wound the main slotted tube right down and the idle adjust all the way so it might just be a matter of the tube itself. Given that the engine is so woefully inefficient it might well need 200bhp's worth of fuel to do its 115bhp output. The tube is pretty simple, I will make another one to test the theory. I don't want to have to go with a mixer if I can help it, the BLOS doesn't impede the airflow at all by comparison. Fitting two of them would involve even more plumbing headache

I don't know anyone running just one on anything over a 3.5 now you mention it. It isn't something I should overlook. It maybe as simple as widening he V shaped slot in the tube if the BLOS is the problem, I recall there being different tubes available. I've got the idle adjuster almost falling out on the M84 so something isn't right. I thought at first I had run out of gas but I remember putting about 60-80 litres in last year (140l tank) so unless it has all leaked out, the truck hasn't been anywhere yet. I tried to get some in today and it was pretty much full. There is no level indicator on this tank (single hole) which doesn't help. Not that they're much use.

Not entirely Land Rover so that's the OT disclaimer out of the way. Anyone using a Bigas M84 vapouriser on their RV8? Ive just fitted one on my Russian Gaz66 truck (which is a super lazy 4.2 V8) but I'm having difficulty getting AFR down to even 15:1 on idle. I'm probably missing something obvious but wondered if the M84 really does run engines upto 190 bhp or if people have found that is way too optimistic Engine spec ZMZ 4.2 litre pushrod V8, 2 valves per cylinder, about 7:1 compression, very short cam duration and quite low lift to suit 76 octane Russian fuel. I'm using a BLOS propane carb which runs fine on my 3.5 V8, no shortage of gas there, sits at 14-15 AFR throughout the map. Im running a MS1 V3 ECU with EDIS. The inlet tract is fairly free of restriction, through the BLOS carb, through a single throttle body from a Volvo V70 onto a home made manifold onto the Russian inlet manifold There is gas in the tank, plenty of it and the all new pipework runs through a brand new filter solenoid before it sees the M84 vapouriser This engine makes 115bhp in standard tune so its no rocket ship but accepting it's big lazy size, it would normally do about 10mpg in standard tune on petrol, could I be right at the limit for the M84?

Yeh! way to go, real trucks can't go in the LEZ (not that anyone really wants to)

To be perfectly fair to DMFs, would there ever have been the huge numbers of petrol drivers going over to diesel that we've seen in recent years without this type of technology? Modern diesels are so far from their predecessors and DMF must play a huge part in this

2+ 4.2 LSE on Megasquirt and LPG RPI do a nice 80 litre donut tank to replace the original fuel tank and put a 90 tank under the seat giving 50? litres of petrol. Use switch maps on the Megasquirt and a BLOS propane carb. I have this on my 110 and it's totally trouble free and gives you diesel cost motoring without the stink and soot

Being very petrol biased, the DMF is an effective modern method of polishing the diesel t*rd

What is the likelihood of finding a Linux touchscreen? Holy grail stuff or ebay?

Do the touch screens contain their own drivers etc to do their stuff independant of an outside OS? Will the screen be reasonably plug and play or are you going to have to be some kind of code wizard to make this work?

You can't get dumber than a Hummer, don't they look awful?

It you simply want a get you home option, chuck an egg in the radiator (or mustard) It's an old skool get you home which does work for a while on small leaks

There was an extensive post on here some time back and the upshot of that seemed to be the the VHF based trackers were about the most reliable method available, certainly better that the GSM/GPS based trackers all of which could be jammed or disabled IIRC a Tracker equipped vehicle had also been responsible for helping Police finding hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of other vehicles in a stash of stolen gear in some containers which didn't have trackers fitted.

Excellent, good to know that. We have a HiTurn 23R near Ashford so I will bookmark your site as it will need a service in the New Year
