I would have said factory Prado/Hilux. Stuart you would be correct! The valving is almost the same as a KYB Shock absorber. I do have adjustables on the way.... The spring is MASIVE in the front of a Prado/Hilux way to big to suit the application I am using it for. The thickness of the spring wire ...

The springs are custom made to suit the longer stroke....

Gannon,

I have a set of the first pic of the headers on my EJ22. They work very well they give a massive torque increase.
That design is proably the best setup. Rember you motor is now NA not turbo charged. The exhaust headers dont need to be 'fancy'

More later......

I have been running Penrite Everyday Driving Oil 15W40 http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products/motor-oil/everyday-motor-oil/everyday_driving_15w-40 It is ideal for the EA82 Motors as the can run a little hot.

I'd be up for a cruise...

I have been using the Z145A on my EA82T for years...

I have been using the brand Sakura for months now. The make Nissan, Mitsubishi & some Toyota genuine filters & there a good price....

As stamp_licker said the standard radiator will work well.
I am running a Turbo Liberty radiator & it works really really well.....

I run mine @ 38PSI....

To make it legal it needs to fill from out side the compartment (like the original tank) & the area it sits in needs to be sealed up....

I always run all of my EA82T @ 20deg BTDC.

My RX I ran 14PSI (With air to air IC) on E10 for 2 1/2 years with no problems. I then rebuilt the motor (Didn't need a rebuild but it was going in to a car I needed to be reliable)

Boost is the easiest way to increase power......

Just a tip, if you use cheap HID / Non UV cut bulbs expect the lens to yellow.....

I thought i might need a boat to get home tonight. A lot of the roads on the way home were closed.....
