endless air issues

Thanks Micheal, I guessed I wasnt alone, after having a second bracket made and this not being right , as well as EVERY other part needing to be re-machined or rebuilt or completely refabricated. I bought the kit as I didnt have time to build it myself. Would have been faster to build from scratch. I ended up spending my CHristmas with my brother cutting, welding, redesigning, machining, pressing, replacing, buying all the bits to make it work and make it last.
Pretty poor that a bloke can make something so bad and be in business for so long.

Ray, Once you build your own brackets and get it going, i believe the output is pretty bloody good.. I still cant envisage where you put the thing on a 100 series.. Michael

Ray , do a search on this site for "endless" many talk about the brackets.. Michael

Ta Michael, did a search, no info on TD100 brackets, they are a bit more involvedthan a GU, GQ, 80 or 60... I have it working now, so far superior in design to the original it is not funny. You need to use a Sanden SD507 compressor and mount it in front of the intake manifold. Fits easy oce you know where. Have it working now and it is trumps. Compressor mod is easy to do, and cheap as well.
Also have dymo sticker on the bracket that makes people laugh, that said it is not very flattering to the original manufacturer..

Ray!! does he use the same compressor on the GU Patrol 4.2TDI?? Michael

Hi Michael,
He uses the Sanden SD508 on the Patrol. The 507 is used where there is a bit less space. Basically the 507 is a 5 cylinder 7 cfm compressor, the 508 is a 5 cylinder 8 cfm compressor, I believe there is a 510, 5 cylinder 10cfm and maybe even an 11cfm one as well. The big ones should fit a GU 4.2.
There is a mod needed on the compressor to make it the same as an "endless, will cost you about 5 bucks if you can use a socket and a M6 taper tap.
Mate has a 508 on his GU4.2TD so I can get you more details if you require.

Ray, That would be great if you could do that, I have been thinking about it for some time. i think i can handle a tap, i started my working life as a fitter and machinist.. Regards Michael

Hi Michael,
Start with this site, I am sure he wont mind me putting it up.

Patrol and all... I have plenty of pics of my mods to the bracket for the 100, and can get the measurements of my mate with the 4.2 TD GU.
Let me know at rayhart@rsrtech.com.au

Pretty much my experience, He made the bracket, I can weld better and the compressor didnt line up, took 2 months to get a replacement, the compressor wouldnt even fit on this time, none of the holes lined up, the fan spacer was so bad I reckon the fan would have flogged itself to bits in a week, the replacement pulley was30 thou out, the way the bering was held in was shocking, you might drive around the city with the original just in case but you would never go bush, the belt was the wrong size, blah blah blah, it works now, but crikey, it took a lot of work to get it working. When I bought it I assumed that anyone could fit it . I can guarantee that even the mob that make it would not have been able to make it fit.
