Will the engine fit in without the rocker covers? if it does you could take them off and do a test fit to see where to cut the rails.

Others will know more than me about the Forry system but I wuld just get a battery Box and use a Glasspack DeepCycle battery in the back of the car right next to the Fridge. The only thing you will need to do is run the Battery cable underneath the car and drill a suitable size hole fit a rubber gro...

A question was asked and I like many others have commented. If you feel the need to styful peoples comments then please feel fre...

They have released another model just recently, it is advertised in the latest issue of Australian 4wd Action and it is a 115 litre/minute instead of the 80 and 110 litre/minute.. Looks like a totally new design to from the picture.

I had a look at those forums. The Autospeed article is 6 years old. After digesting all of that I think we can comfortably say that the current EWP is a good thing if you need to use one. Horses for courses but they would have to have a lower failure rate than new Hilux clutches, Landcruiser V8 fue...

What are they giving the thumbs down to? Longevity? Function? Both. Some claim the EWP didn't effectively cool the engine, others claim the engines were absolutely boiled because of them. while others claim they will just break under load. Just google it and read around various forums and personal ...

The original idea was to remove the impeller from the original pump or totally bypass it with a new fan belt. Since the originals come out, and the quality control on the original units wasn't very good, people have tried many different variations and the Davies Craig website has info on and links t...

Steptoe, have you googled Davies Craig EWP? There are alot of webpages, forums especially, that give it a big thumbs down. To be of some power saving advantage you need to remove the engine driven water pump. I don't think ths is practicle with a Suby. Davies Craig says you can use the both if you w...

Well I use a mob here that do rego checks but are also A/C experts so he just said he would probably decommission it if it wasnt working correctly - his words not mine. So you go to a guy who is willing to do something to your car BEFORE he has spoken to his customer about it. Like I said I don't k...

I know R134 will produce phosgene gas when burnt(including ciggies)which will kill you dead in minutes if ingested for a period of time. Kill you dead? In minutes if ingested over a period of time? those two statements alone have problems. As for the debate on the which gas to use, I just had the P...

why can't people read the first post and stay on topic If raving on or about "water for fuel" rocks your boat, go do it elsewhere. Theres plenty of sites where you can amuse yourself on that topic. People have stayed on topic, the issue now is how much you disagree with what is being said and how m...

I won't be fitting a unit myself purely because I need the room on the back of my troopy for my tools and camping equipment, not a bath tub of water which is how much you need to produce enough Hydrogen to have any effect. I'm not here to argue either Rex, i fact I don't want to argue, but most of w...

Hydrogen is only an energy storage medium, after all, not a fuel. "Hydrogen is only an energy storage medium, after all, not a fuel. " This is the crux of this whole discussion.
