Has anybody tried to remap their ECU to change the characteristics of the cruise control and the Auto gearbox. I want to make the cruise response curve a lot more aggressive / quicker as I am sick of the cruise hunting +/- 6 kph on hills. The el cheapo Command cruise I fitted to the Brumby does a be...

I think I still have the dizzy I replaced in my Brumby. The upper bush has been chewed out, but everything else is fine. You can probably retrofit the shaft and module into your dizzy. Or even probably press out the upper bush from yours for use in this one. If you have access to a lathe you can mac...

I know Steve did one of these a few years back and probably more since then. I had my EA82T Brumby at the time and had a chance to drive both one after the other. The turbo rocks for all out HP, but off road the supercharger beats it hands down. You would need to get a bit creative in the setup to m...

Mudrat, would you mind floating the name 'Maxitreat 450' past your nalco contact. I am interested in his opinion as that is the treatment recommended to one of our members by a DLI inspector about 15 years ago and his boiler looks near new inside. Granted he also nitrogen purges after every run whic...

1 / 3 are drivers side, 1 being the forward cyl.

If you removed the Dizzy during the repair, check to see if it is not fitted 180 degree's out.

I recall seeing on either USMB or NASIOC some info on fitting either a GM or Ford Alt. It was up around the 200 Amp rating. It was a pretty big sucker, but if your aircon compressor is mounted 'inside' I believe it will still fit. They had a bit of stuffing around to get a pulley to fit but did end ...

Since you have gone that far I would suggest doing all the rotating bits while you are in there. I think the collection of recommended stuff is something like ; Water pump change , Oil Pump overhaul , Cam seals, crank seal, tensioner bearings.

:twisted: Good news....i found a guy who guaranteed that he would have it done by lunch friday for one third of the cost! dont give these idiots the courtesy of a phone call :wink: So now that Friday has come and gone, how did it go with the second guy and if all is good, what is his name so other ...

Just pipe dreaming, has anybody measured up the EZ30 length next to a EJ25 ? I am curious to see if it will fit into a Forester.

Righteo . . . As the car is already a turbo, I don't think you have to get it engineered. Ahhh hell, foot in mouth disease :oops: That's what I get for posting when I am half asleap :) I would like to know how you go with NSW rego though. Have you run it past them 'hypothetically' yet ? I got a ple...

Suby, have you done your boiler drawing yet ?

You won't get the turbo legal in NSW without engineering. sorry :( I believe the biggest you can do is the N/A EJ20 without engineering headaches. Reliability; as good as the doner car ie. excellent. As long as your work is up to scratch. If you have pulled engines / gearboxes you will have no hassl...

Hmm, my chemistry is patchy at best, so apologies for stupid questions. How does the Amine reduce corrosion ? Is the corrosion related to acidity ? I know the guy with the excellent boiler runs his boiler significalty alkaline. I don't know the specifics though. How does a steam bleed de-oxygenate t...

Jono, welcome to the addiction :) If you are not concerned with legalities and really want that sweet turbo music to go, the simplest option is to get an EA82T and matching 5 speed. Only drama is you have to 'massage' out the chassis rails about a half inch ? to make the heads fit. ell, the first re...

I've actually had an experience with a superheater pluggage and failure. The original boiler design called for our PO4 dosage to the steam side of the drum (why no one ever could figure out) which led to Phosphate carryover, causing the blockage. I am curious what your feedwater treatment system in...

OMG that last picture's enough to give any boiler operator a heart attack! Are those wall tubes actually generating section or economisers? Economiser, that's big boiler speak for superheat / reheat isn't it ? :) The vertical tubes are a work around to kind of make water walls. At the time it was b...

Wondering if anybody has come across info on successful diesel conversions into Sube's ? I came across a reference for a 1.9 TDi VW engine, but have not been able to find any real info as yet. Not something I am planning on doing in a hurry, but I am kinda considering it as the next project once the...

Mudrat, a couple of pics of another boiler I have designed a replacement for. I am just waiting for the owner to start cutting metal. I believe it is around the 30L capacity. The third pic is looking up one of the vertical water tubes around the firebox. This is the other issue I have with briggs bo...

So there is a move to sell the business ? Their gear is among the best I have come across for sube's, it would be a crying shame to see all the development hard work disappear.

Any reason why the change of direction ?
