Great going @Shaaz Sha. Congratulations

Many people have doubts about which engine type of Pajero they should buy, and specifically which will perform best in the desert. Mitsubishi provides the engine performance curves on their brochure but as they are not comparative i wanted to compare the 3.5 6G74 , and 3.8 6G75 engines from the 4th Generation Pajero (2008 till YTD). In above charts you will see the performance of both engines with Output in Kilowatts and Torque in Nm. When you layer these over each other you will get the following: Conclusive results: Output kw or Horsepower: The 3.8 engine performs the best with a max output of 250Hp at 6000rpm, while the 3.5 engine reaches its peak output of 189Hp at 4,750rpm. Up to 4500 rpm both engines react and perform quite similar, which would indicate for driving in the dunes they will perform similar, except for hill climbs where you will need to go beyond that rpm. The 3.8 clearly has the upper hand at that point. Torque: Again the 3.8 shows higher torque values with a max. of 327Nm at an rpm of 2,750rpm, while the 3.5 model reaches 306Nm at 3,750rpm. In Carnity Offroad Club we have seen 3.5 Pajeros performing very well, and while the 3.8 engine has the upper hand when it comes to high-rev hill climbs, they are both capable offroad engines that will do well in the right hands. Purpose of this topic is to consult your engine performance and try to find the "sweet spot" in at which your engine and torque level would be the best for that particular application. From these charts it is quite clear that the 3.5 engine needs to be used more on a lower rpm range and with the proper momentum. Of course these values are theoretical and one will find big differences between each vehicle depending on how well it was maintained, how old the engine is, or if there are issues with the vehicle (spark plugs, injectors, air filter issues). We have plenty of Pajero owners, so let's discuss and learn from each other !

Wish you best of luck brother for whatever you are up to and congratulations again 😉

@Shaaz Sha congratulations! Very well done!

Congratulations Shaaz.

Congratulation @Shaaz Sha

If you decide to change the Tyres, go for something like the Geolandars AT. You won’t regret it.

@Shaaz Sha Congratulations!

Congratulations @Shaaz Sha and wish you all the best

Congrats and well deserved !!!

Well done @Shaaz Sha Congrats.

Congrats bro

Thank you Mr @Gaurav for accepting my promotion. Special Thanks to all leaders and members at @Carnity for giving me the opportunity to progress, learn and have fun in safe environment. See you 🔜 in Sand. Thank you @Chaitanya D yes Sequndra is best for tugging. Shoveling is good workout & saves me gym’s membership 😂.

Very happy for you @Abu Muhammad. Congratulations, enjoy the shovelling and tugging now on😂

@Frederic nice to see what the difference in the engine delivers. I guess when coupled with the SWB body, that performance differential expoains why and how the SWB climbs adequately without the use of tiptronic and when TT is engaged how this has capabiltiies that are more challenging in the LWB. Since I bought my little Paj, and the gear change problem was solved it power is not the issue: using road tires as opposed to something more aggressive and matching shocks/springs to optimize the power would transform the experience without moving the car into the modified classification. I am a some stage thinking about a unichip to rid the engine of the shift at 5200 rev (other posts cover this), which I think will potentially create a pretty perfect power weight ratio (to make up for the additional weight that will be added by a new crash plate!)

Amazing pics!! Thanks 😊

Thank you so much @Mohamed Seidam, much appreciated. Hope everyone enjoyed and gain desired experiences.

@Chaitanya D, thank you so much for arranging and leading such a great event, it was a pleasure to be as a CF and this event was full of joy, experience and challenges. thank you @Islam Soliman and @Vanessa8580 for your great help and support. 🙏🙏🙏 thank you everyone for making unforgettable memories yesterday. 😊😊🙏🙏

These posts are inspiring to complete the required drives and assements to get to FB +...

it was pleasure driving with you @Chaitanya D for my first intermediate drive. it was a challenging morning due to thick fog in the early hours and navigating through initial technical dunes with reduced visibility. I really appreciate your hard work and assistance to team members on fixing the pop out in a very tricky place. we lost lot of time there fixing the pop out, But you managed to give us lost time by extending the drive time little bit more. Thank you very much for consideration. we all enjoyed riding on beautiful and long dunes in faqa area, it was a really good experience and cant wait to get back to sands to do some more practice. cheers...

Trip Report: Foggy mornings and cool weather is a perfect prelude to start your joy ride, especially in Tawi Nazwa/Pink Rock/Big red area. We gave about 15 min extra time considering the fog and the darker situation with poor visibility. All drivers arrived well in time and ready to go. We did a quick debrief and started our foggy drive with lights on. Thank you Vanessa for the numbering and radio checks As soon as we started to enjoy the light getting better and the dunes becoming more visible, I heard a car honking and driver waving at me. We drove towards him and he was seeking if we could help as his friends car had a tire pop out from what I understood. Driving towards the other LC which was crested- probably revving and doing sand splashing, the tire was not popped out but ripped off from the wheel. We had a chat and decided to help them, which is something we all at Carnity are never shy to do. I tugged the car out onto flat and we all changed their tire in quick time, thanks to everyone for the amazing team work. After spending some time here , and the light getting better we continued our drive towards pink rock. Quickly getting onto the top, playing there , before we had four cars in a super soft bowl considering the long weekend churning all tracks. Ashok , and Veedoshee did some amazing self recovery and maneuvering to get out of that bowl. Thanks Vanessa for some fantastic advises , and Islam for tugging me when I got stuck trying to see what was happening. We drove around pink rock, headed towards Big Red which was in and out of bowls like a roller coaster, bumpy of course considering the million cross tracks. Everyone drove so well here that there was absolute Radio silence for almost 45 to 60 min before we took a break. We were at Big red in decent time safely, and played here doing climbs, tall sides and some criss crossing. You all drove really well that we could make it to Big Red ,even after losing time at the start. @Islam Soliman was a perfect second lead, awesome team man and a perfect tamer of his beast Yukon. Great to have you on any drive and thanks for all the support. @Ashok chaturvedi much improved , great driving in and out of bowls. You did really well to oscillate, get momentum and out of the soft bowl at Pink rock, great work Sir @Veedooshee for her first FB + was simply awesome. Great control and some great self recoveries, very energetic as always and full of enthusiasm. @jodha singh shekhawat you have a great car which can be pushed further safely as you get more used to it. You did really well without any issues and sticking to basics.Well done @Yousef Alimadadi did a great job as center forward, and there weren't much instances where he had to come out to shovel /tug. Thank you for all the support. @Abu Muhammad driving a controlled monster was seen having a great time, especially at Big red. I absolutely love the roar of the V8 climbing the dunes and ruffling sand. @Piotr Kolodziej enjoyed the dunes approaching big red area. Controlled driving and maneuvering, considering he was at the back.Well done buddy @Mohamed Seidam did great being at the back of the convoy. Some nicely managed self recoveries , fantastic communication and acknowledgement. Climbing Big red on the X was a treat to watch, well done @Vanessa8580 was late addition to the drive as support , and I must say she was amazing at it. Always getting in quickly to help and advise anyone who had an issue and great to see the energy you bring on any drive by your presence. Thank you so much. @Lucky sAm and @Tariq Carrimjee you missed out on a great drive, but hope your issues are sorted. Take care Enjoy your week at work, to come back again next weekend. You are advised to apply for promotion if you have completed the required drives and have the necessary gear for the next level. Cheers!

Congrats @Abu Muhammad truly well deserved. Enjoy the new level.

Action packed drive, like usual in @Chaitanya Ds drives 😂. Few challenges in the beginning but after those we got into speed. This driv had mixed variations of terrain, which was very nice. My first pull took place also, learning new tricks again. Thank you senior drivers for your good work. @Chaitanya D, @Tamas Hoffmann and @Jeandre Bezuidenhout you did great.

Amazing drive day with amazing people Dear friends it was an absolute delight , pleasure and honor to drive with all of you today. Such an amazing day with an amazing people full of energy and life thinking of the other with passion and care. A determined spirit to learn, explore and achieve safely. This is a real enjoyment.

Trip Report: Driving to the starting point itself was quite an adventure as it was very foggy with very less visibility , especially after exiting off Al Ain road. Thank you every one for turning up on time and starting the drive as scheduled. We drove along the sabkhas to enter a slightly technical terrain , with very poor visibility. But as it was getting brighter by min it was very much manageable. All did well here to get into the long range dunes of Faqa where we started some nice side sloping and ridges. It was here that one of the cars had a pop out in a soft bowl with poor access to the chassis and the LCA covered by the tire. We tried out bit to sort it there ,which was not working as the jack was not lifting the tire enough. Had to pull it out onto a flatter area where it could be fixed easily. Thanks to @Luca Palanca Falsini for doing this perfectly and safely. Even though the tire was fixed but it was found to be leaking along the rim edge and after a chat with the driver, we decided to exit. Driving back we had few refusals which were sorted quickly and some tugging needed as we entered technical terrain again. While doing this the tire with pop out was maintaining the pressure and hence it was amended to continue the drive, but with caution that at any point there is an issue then the exit would be tricky. Thankfully it was all fine till the end, and as a lead some decisions are always tricky. Personally I/We never wish any driver who signs up would exit for things beyond anyone's control, until it is under control. We did out bit going back into the long range dunes that Faqa has to offer, skirting along AD border and winding back onto the Sabkhas taking us to Solar park exit. For the time we drove, it was fast ,exciting and with lot of long ridge rides which was the best part of this eventful (If I can say) drive. You all showed great control of your cars , even for first timers like @Rizwanm2 who did really well. We exited after a slightly longish drive , exercised our driving capabilities in some terrain which had everything on offer . Most importantly we went all in and we were all out safely. @Tamas Hoffmann excellent second lead and well managed to get out of refusals. You were quick to respond for my rerouting advises which was great @Rizwanm2 did wonderful for his first IM drive. You will only get better as you drive more and stick to basics. Well done @Nizam Deen did well except for some instances with refusals and some needed tugging. You have a great car to drive and conquer terrains @Mehmet Volga loves this area - Lisaili/Murquab and Faqa. Never seen him shy of signing on these drives and it was great to have you this time. Well driven my friend @Tero Vallas again gets better quickly and it is indeed a treat to see how well you were driving. Even after the Liwa drive, your enthusiasm was nothing short. Fantastic @Anish S surfed his Pajero , great control in all areas and hardly any issues. Well done buddy @Luca Palanca Falsini quite impressive how quickly you have mastered off-roading and recoveries even in tricky situations. Thanks for all the help you offered @Jorge Stepniak Felippe, @Jun Zamora and @Jeandre Bezuidenhout - the wrangler boys, hardly heard on radio and absolutely no issues. Great to have you on any drive - full of energy, enthusiasm and involvement. Special thanks to Jeandre for a perfect sweep. At some areas I was driving exactly behind you after taking a loop and it was great to see you handle perfectly even on churned tracks. We at Carnity advised you all to have ABS /Traction kill switch on IM drives as it is very important in soft sand. Please disable your airbags as even on slightly higher side inclines your airbags (especially the side or curtain) can pop out . Get your tire pressure set to a level which is suitable for your kind of driving and your car dynamics. If you are not sure ,start with 15 PSI and go down . The quicker you get to the correct pressure for yourself , you will start enjoying the drives more than fixing pop outs. While this is all great learning and a must for any offroader, we can get better every time as we all try to do the same. Enjoy your week at work, Cheers!

Trip Report : The Liwa Experience Liwa is an experience that every offroader should have, as Liwa challenges not just the car but the driver as well in every possible manner. Not only does one come across massive dunes, you encounter super soft sand which tests your patience and ability to overcome the obstacle as a team. Congratulations to all the Newbies that participated yesterday in the Liwa Moreeb Drive. We made history by being probably the first club to bring Newbies to the actual Liwa Moreeb Dunes. Credit for this concept goes to @Gaurav and I was proud and privileged to be a part of this adventure. With some very good coordination and team work we reached the top of the Moreeb Dunes by using the step technique.This was possible due to the good quality of Newbies that participated plus the fantastic support team ( @Pancho@Janarthan @Tbone @Vanessa8580 ) that were brave enough to take up the challenge and make ifhe entire drive a super success. All the particpating drivers brought out their best throughout the day and the cherry on the cake was the scaling of the monstrous Tal Moreeb (Scarry Hill) dune. By 4 pm we were joined by the remaining 4 other Carnity convoys. It was truly a wonderful sight to have 5 convoys (55 cars) of Carnity Liwa drive at the top of the Tal Moreeb dune. Hope everyone cherished the moment. Till we meet the next time. Please post your pictures in the gallery.

Felt like a shaman trying to explain using sand in my hands and a graphic sign language what happened and what needs to be done at several local tire shops where we left the desert when Google failed miserably and hilariously with Farsi and Arabic translations 😂
