What is a 91 Hardbody ????????

[kingkong]

well i cant figure out how to put a picture up but its a 1/4ton mini truck.maybe called a d21 pick up in australia not to sure tho.

[xRHETTx]

What is a ton? We dont have them in Australia, we only have tonnes. :-)

[predator]

we're not really that much into hotting up "trucks" down here.. read: 4WD

What is a 91 Hardbody ????????

You could've googled it... :confused:

Navara???

[siddr20]

hmmm dont think the money you will spend on it will be worth the results..

Maybe try puttin a bigger V8 block in it or something..

[kingkong]

thats exactly it a navara? we call em hardbodys for some reason. ive thought about a 383 stroker engine but my buddy allready has one done like this with a super charger i wanna blow his doors off with a 600rwhp rb25. and besides his truck is too heat to drive around with a supercharger stickin out of the hood.

i wanna keep it clean sleeper style.and i still cant figure out how to put pictures up id like to show u this truck.

Well mate, I honestly think you'll have to be creative with your exhuast manifold and turbo placement if its Left hand drive. As for looking like a sleeper, well you will need a fair bit of clearance if the turbo has to be moved upwards to miss a steering rack and your dump pipe will have to be made up to go around it also. Im not saying it cant be done, I just hope that your a boilermaker by trade and you shouldn't have to many issues. Then once thats complete, you'll need your mechanical and electrical trades in your back pocket to get her up and running

I just remembered their is some bloke in here that has put an RB20 into a 240sx in here from America... he might be able to fill you in on how to get around the steering columb issues.

Whats the weight of one of those trucks?

Can't see an RB25 having the required displacment for an enjoyable and fun ride myself.

Maybe look at a Lexus V8 or something. If you want something that has a bit of "tech" associated with it.

Could you supercharge the infinity 4.5L V8?

nb I have no schmick wrt the Q45's, just looking at pics of them today.

[teejay]

if you want an import engine in your truck there is only one choice

Whats a truck weigh? I doubt that its too much more then a gtst if any... And the 91 Nissan Navara 4x4 petrol version came with a 2.4ltr - so the RB25 should cope pretty easily.

i think the truck weighs about 2600kgs. if i put a turbo on the stock engine i could make just as much power as the sr but my engine is shot and i want a six cylinder and the rb25 would be perfect im ordering the engine soon im waiting to hear from japan if i could get a something with about 600whp. i got a little 75shot zex im wondering what would be the best setup if i use the nos.

[blind_elk]

That's a KA-24 engine isn't it? 4-cylinder job?

Is there room up front for 2 extra cylinders?

What about shoe-horning a VG30DETT from a Z32?

[kingkong]

ya it does have the ka24e and no it doesint have enough room for 2 more cylinders. i have to cut out the fire wall and tunnel it about 3 inches plus i have to cut out the front end and mount the rad 2 inches forward. its alot of work but should be worth it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

this is being done by a mate of mine as we speak...

[kingkong]

so has anyone put an inline six in a navara/pick up??

[Dee 33]

If it's 2.4 tonne then I don't know how the RB25 will handle or even the RB26.

If you must go this route go the 2jz-gte.
