    Well I broke it, in Canada

    ADVENTURE is at the end. Normally we travel with at least one other vehicle and the Canter has no trouble on trails like that. Yes it flexes a lot but I think we should leave this thread and give it back to the OP. Corrugations will shear bolts on spring mounts just from the constant hammering...

    Well I broke it, in Canada

    SkiFreak is on the mark, if there is maybe a road we will probably travel it. Canters can be up there with the best of them offroad. There are some reports that I have written up of my trips in here if you search. Also video on Youtube just look for Canter 4x4 it will come up. My tray main...

    Well I broke it, in Canada

    At this stage my tray is solid mounted as in bolted to the chassis and you should see how much flex I get in the tray. My Camp Boxes are rubber mounted so as not to impart all the flex to the boxes. Spring mounts are certainly called for in a Camper that is fitted to the chassis if you don't...

    4m50 turbo upgrade v2

    I should add that cruise is 18.1. The turbo is a TD05H big16G. It's certainly not smokey at all. Then, I'll try a reset of my Air/Fuel setup and see if we have any difference. Dan.

    4m50 turbo upgrade v2

    When i fitted the first turbo I increased fuel by 1.5 turns which then gave me overfueling up to about 2000Rpm because of low boost (lucky to see 2 or 3 Psi) up to that Rpm. I haven't touched the fuel since then. My air/fuel ratio at this stage is running at 22.3 at idle and running at 13.7...

    4m50 turbo upgrade v2

    I realize that you are running a different engine but not that much. Yes I have the same problem as you that I don't get enough boost down low. The thing is that you need to spool up faster and the only way I know is to have a bigger turbine wheel and lesson the load of the compressor size. With...

    4m50 turbo upgrade v2

    Okay I'm at the other end. I have a TD05H-big 16G 7Cm housing and am going to a TD06SL2-big 16G 8Cm housing. It's my original turbo and fitting a smaller compressor wheel. The setup I'm running now is a lot better than the original choice but I'm running too much drive pressure and this is the...

    Mitsubishi Canter 3 inch Exhaust Brake and System

    Old Thread I know. Testing exhaust brake difference. I have worked out how this can be tested. In my chase for a better Turbo for on my Canter I have fitted a Drive Pressure Gauge (it just measures exhaust pressure in the exhaust manifold before turbo). When you take your foot of the accelerator...

    Diving in Head First!

    I would be lost without our TPMS. It has saved us a lot of money in not wrecking tyres. We use the same ones that are fitted to our valve stems and have never had one ripped off. For myself accuracy in pressure and temperature is not that important - it is the relationship between what is set...

    FGs for sale

    Just sold $4109+GST(10%)+Buyers premium(7.5%). It was close to me putting in a bid but then I would have had to go for a road trip. So decided not to go for it. If I had a bit more time I would have done some more homework on it, sure is a lot of K's. Dan.

    FGs for sale

    I wouldn't fit one to my Canter as it interferes with view when off road and the chance of totally wrecking a laminated screen that you would be held up on a trip I would have to see to believe. And yes I do have one on my Prime mover. Canter windscreens are cheap. Dan.

    Overhead cab storage shelf

    You will need to tie your gear down in an overhead shelf as in mine everything jumps out of the overhead storage as is. Dan.

    Canter FG649 SWB Camper Truck Build

    I'll run with this one. Same size that we are running , at about the same weight.Brij runs lighter than us. It still depends on the brand of tyres as some are softer in the side walls than other. With Kuhmo KL71's on Hennys' Canter :- road - 45/50psi, corrugations - 35psi keeping speed down and...

    2007 FG clutch rumble?

    There is no spring, it has a captive head on the rod where it goes into the clutch fork (so can't fall out ). Like I said it is a passive clearance ( as in self adjusting ) on the bearing to fork fingers. If a spring was fitted then there would become too much clearance because it would push the...

    2007 FG clutch rumble?

    No adjustment at the slave on 2000 model. It is passive adjustment that it does itself. If you notice the slave cylinder is very long and the piston sits where it needs to with little or no pressure on the bearing. This is what I would do :- Start engine and depress clutch peddle - release -...

    Regear the Transfer Case and you will keep your low range (actually it will lower it some ) speed and gears up high range giving you better road speed. What do I know !!!, Dan.

    super singles, how many spares

    Suppose I should add that we do carry a comprehensive repair kit as well as tubes and sleeves for larger repairs. We also run directional tyres at times so 2 spares helps with that. No tyres is bullet proof as stakes know the right angle to do damage. I know because we use "wire armored" tractor...
