    Hodakaguy's 4x4 Sprinter Build

    Time to get the tops mounted to the frames. Originally I planned on welding tabs to the frame and using bolts to attach the two, after staring at it a bit in the garage I decided to use aluminum TRIC-nuts instead (Like Rivet Nuts) as they would be faster and cleaner than tabs. Here I'm getting...

    Big Bore Piston Upgrade!! If I can just get it to fit think of the low end torque......although yes fuel mileage may suffer a tad :D The power piston is out of a 1955 Ingersol Rand KVS Engine/Compressor. The engine is a single turbo natural gas fired V-6 unit that develops 1000hp at...

    Time for a decent shifter!...... I'm one of the few it seams that hates the Urals heal shifter, I find the heal shifter to be awkward at best and very un-ergonomic, it's located way to high and causes one to lift your foot off the peg and twist it a bit to engage the shifter with your heal. I...

    Dumped the 20w-50 out of the trans today and installed Redline Heavy Shockproof gear oil. The heavy shockproof protects from 75w-250 and has a viscosity of 75w-90. The transmission is a lot happier with the Redline, both when cold and hot. Shifts are noticeably less "clunky", especially...

    A quick cold start video. The off road mapping in combination with the EJK Tuner is a great combo! Idles super smooth hot or cold and there is a noticeable increase in pep across the throttle range. No hiccups, decel popping etc. A whole different beast compared to the ultra lean stock...
