Late model 1HZ powered cruisers ( wagons, utes and troopies) are fitted with an R151 gearbox as opposed to factory TD and petrols that are fitted with H150. H150 boxes are substantionaly stronger than R151. How long an R151 lasts behind an aftermarket turboed 1HZ depends on how it is driven I would think. Other than a mismatched or poorly installed/tuned turbo the R151 is the weakest link. While there are plenty of sucessful 1HZ turbo installs out there, there are also ugly ones. Be careful.

ARB CKMP12

Made in Australia. Hard case provides great protection. 50 percent claimed duty cycle - 30-minutes on / 30-minutes off. 105 pound pressure cut off switch, which also allows unit to be left on when air line is removed from tyre. 40 amp inline fuse. ON/Off switch in case. Lid is designed to switch compressor off when closed - great safety feature. High quality heat resistant air line is easy to unravel. Large diameter sintered bronze air cleaner rated for fine bull dust is unique. Very fast to inflate tyres given the small physical build. One of the few compressors that is not a 'copy' of another unit. Test ended at 95psi due to pressure cut of switch activating.

ARB SIDEWINDER Twin cylinder with plastic heat shields over heads and body, soft carry bag, claimed max 150psi, large air filter is built in and well protected from damage, switch box with circuit breaker (eliminates fuse), deflation chuck, sand tray, handle folds down for storage. Shroud on motor prevented us measuring max temperatures.
