WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR PATROL UTE BUILD? PERFORMANCE OVERHAUL!

[@howesyaadventures5542]

Good results! If she goes all depends what you want? More wheeling setup? Something with big torque. 4jj compound? Rb30 turbo? 6bt compound? For the time being, Quick disconnect sway bar links, compressor setup, projector headlights, front mount or top mount

[@nickdrury5961]

Definitely slot a m57 under the bonnet

[@AirDownAndPlayUp]

Chapman is the man! Good to see this thing getting the right treatment by the right people

[@tommccarthy6399]

Definitely put a high mount winch on it 👌🏻

[@haydnwhitfield7581]

VK56 would be sick! Or a V9X what should have been done from factory.

[@jarradhemmings593]

I reckon definitely put lockers on it for wheeling

[@colinmcdonald991]

Should have done a M57 .... go hard with good economy and sound so sweet on bop.

The zd is way more practical and reliable at 300-350 so no point swapping

[@dbadventures9869]

Always think it’s funny how people “only” go to 30psi to keep reliability. Can’t wait to see the 1 million km review 😂. On a side note, if you want to make it a weapon off-road, forget trying it get a thousand horsepower out of it. Stick a set of reduction gears in the transfer case and watch it crawl up everything.

[@tomrobson761]

M57n and a 6hp26x from a 04 to 06 BMW X5 speak to Fusion Fab in the east for the billet adapters. House of power in the UK or ASLmods in WA for a 285+hp remap. Easy power for less then 10k in parts.

Finally doing a ZD. I'm looking forward to seeing it kill everything out there on the big tracks. I'd be putting 4 MOFO spotties on the front to blast any LED setup. How about a compact simple lithium dual battery setup? Century have just released a slimline 100ah, or Baintech 75ah. If you're going to get serious, slap some portal axles on it and go full crazy. 😁

[@boydwilliams1085]

I would keep that motor. Put new wheels, tray, canopy setup and fix suspension. Keep it easy and reliable. And fix intrior if needed.

[@theexplorelife]

That’s the plan 👌

[@karloz83]

Godzilla big block supercharged or turbo would be a sick fit I been thinking of that or a vk56vd supercharged or turbo in my gu Ute. It’s hard but because money and the build time always costly so personal preference etc. Best thing is tidy it up and wheel it arp head studs a must

Drop an Ls3 into it and be done, good power, heaps of limi smashes and it’ll keep on going + parts are relatively cheap compared to other conversions

[@philciccone9102]

Mate your on it dude

[@grimreaper6112]

And 4ks to the ltr parts are not cheap when rebuilding any engine and there is a reason why trucks dont have petrol engines.

[@jarrod1687]

Ls just don't have the economy to be a decent touring motor. Maybe a bara but ls needs massive fuel tanks and even then you won't get far

[@Dan-rg7jj]

@@jarrod1687 Mate LS is no good but so aren't everyone elses ideas. LT is where it's at now for economy and drivability. No ones on to them yet in Australia. Go look up wranglerJKLS on youtube. Does a good job at explaining why you wouldn't want to do LS3s anymore and why LTs. Video :LT1 vs everything else.

[@Dan-rg7jj]

@@philciccone9102 LS3 no good anymore. LT1 10 speed where it's at. Drivability. Low end torque. Better economy. More interesting especially in Australia. It's never been done on youtube here it seems.

Dump the ZD before it dumps itself with 35 psi! Replace with 1HDTFE with twin turbo's, 6 speed ZF box into Patrol transfer. Remember, it's a 4x4 not a freckin race car!
