means post turbo .. ?

Diferent engine .. but I cruiser my 1HD-T around 700 - 800ºF pre turbo pushing 9 - 10 PSI @ 2000 - 2200 rpm

My air filter is not big enough or I have too big of Turbo on it. (Lol). My little dirty filter monitor slams shut when i stand on the gas pedal to pass someone. Turbo boost goes to 23lbs when i do it as well.

The hottest the engine got was 180 degrees F.

Well if it spools up quick enough for you then id say it isnt an issue of turbo being to big but more of not enough air flow.

and im with Tapage, I have my EGT probe At the collector pre turbo so i know what the temp of the gasses coming out of the cylinders is to help prevent a meltdown. mine needs a bigger turbo, Ive had the EGTs in the 2200*F once or twice, and it gets there quick! the plus side it it hauls some A$$!!

And wouldnt the down pipe post turbo be cooler than pre turbo??
could be wrong, guess tomorrow i can get my infrared thermometer and find out to be sure.

EGT Probe is Pre-Turbo

[CruisinFJ60]

got ya!

I was thinking when you said on the downpipe it was post turbo.

well i measured with my infrared today anyways and it may be because the different materials / alloy combination's used, but post turbo on the cast peice was about 340*F and pre turbo beside my EGT probe was about 290*F course my EGT was reading 330ish*F

but i think it was still in part due to design and thickness of casting materials, under load and drive pressure pre turbo would undoubtedly be much warmer since the pressure would be higher from pushing the turbine not to mention the air trying to be forced (in my case) into a turbo that cannot support the fuel the engine is moving.

Dan order yourself 4 of these oh and make an offer at $40 each.

Hey Mac,

Your thread on building your intercooler has a bunch of pics missing, so I checked out your site to see what you'd done.

[pic deleted]
Do you have other pics somewhere showing the building of the intercooler? I tried clicking this link as well: http://www.fj40-2f-eti-locked-n-load...tercooler.html but it's not working either.

[matt.mcinnes]

Lot of good info here for Diesels.

Laminova water to air intercooler - Patrol 4x4 - Nissan Patrol Forum

Oh and this is one of ours too, turbo petrol like mine

YouTube - ACE Vortech YSI 04 M3


I deleted a lot of the info from mine as I an now making them as a side line that is slowly growing so there are a few secrets we don't give away.

Do I need 4 of them?

4 will let the engine breath real easy, and at ebay prices not break the bank. New the cores are $212US each. 4 will be good for up to 600hp

Intake temps will then look like this. Blue pre turbo and green post intercooler.



Colder intake temps mean you can add more fuel safely and sustain lower EGT's for longer. Adding more fuel means more power.

[CruisinFJ60]

those are crazy efficient!!!

[D'Animal]

4 have been ordered and should be on their way

Thanks

[CruisinFJ60]

i wonder if some of those would be good for my 24V vs the stock intercooler... $$... guess it will be waiting for another day.

[D'Animal]

Before I go to the trouble of mounting them, what do you think?


Thanks

[Butt Ugly Chuck]

Looks good Dan!

[RockDoc]

They're out of the way as far as approach angle, and would mount direct to the frame. Seems like a good choice to me.

[chappysfj40]

dont weld them, just my 2 cents though.

[D'Animal]

They would be bolted on using 7/16 Grade 8 bolts.

[chappysfj40]

bolts , i like bolts. big plus is if you decide later ur not happy its just a few minutes work, not a hour of grinding and totching.

[notaf-ingjeep]

I love the tow hooks bud! At least they look cool mounted like that, I think they'd work great. Not sure if they would fit on my rig for various reasons, but I might steal your idea.

Super cool rig, I am jealous for sure!

[D'Animal]

The tow hooks came off the front of my 1942 Chevy M6 bomb Service truck. I sold it but kept the hooks and the blackout light. The Blackout light will be mounted so it will light up the bed/cargo area.

[Mace]

I was thinking they might have come off of a train

[D'Animal]

My wife nicknamed this rig "The Ultimate Recycler". MudRack agreed, but only when he got done laughing.

I really need something off of an FJ 55 to complete the entire collection on one rig. LOL

[Mace]

I have a piece of dash trim you can have

I think it would be cool to stuff an FJ55 grill and headlights between the fenders and hood of an FJ40.

Can somebody out there photoshop this idea?

[My wife said no FJ!]

Hey Dan, if you are only missing something from a '55 to complete your masterpiece, then why not try and fit the FJ55 side grills on your beast.

[CruisinFJ60]

not a bad place for the hooks i reacon. dunno how much of a problem they may or may not be coming up to a rock, prolly not much of one in relation to the tires position tho.

The truck looks sweet, really shaping up. took me two evenings after work to read the whole thread, there's just so much going on here.
Are you still looking for a hard top to have cut/modded to work on this truck? I've got one that's beat up on the driver's side (PO rolled the rig somewhere in the past) The flat upper surface is solid, but the sides need to be resealed with resin, and the gutters are junk. I can't use it, nor do I want to pay to have it rebuilt. If you're curious, let me know, I'll snap a few pics. The only price is to get it out of my folk's yard...

[D'Animal]

If you spent 2 evening reading this thread, WOW. You ave seen it trasnform a bit.


Sounds god on the top, send me a PM and let me know where it is located. Those are a bugger to ship.

Proper doors are installed.
