Lots of specs in the initial post, but there's one major thing missing.
What do you want the finished result to do?
Top end power for highway only use?
Low end boost for offroad and towing?
Best drivability?
Hey Karter,
A guy here on the isl. is going Variable Geometry on his 1HZ. He has bought the turbo already and is in the process of installing it I believe.
His handle is "Koops" his name is Keith.
He's the kind of guy that pays attention to detail and researches the h*ll out of stuff. Might be worth a PM.
Good luck.
Question: Does turbo lag from fitting a larger turbo affect factory performance at those rpms where lag occurs? In other words, if fitting an .86 turbine, boost doesn't occur until say 1600; below that, is the 1HZ still going to perform as it would NA?
Here is a guy on outlimits using the GT2876r.....
Outer Limits 4x4 Board • View topic - GT2876 on a 105 1hz
I don't think a lag it's an issue here .. ( at least not for me ) coz we are not ( I'm not ) " racing " our cruisers .. are we ? it's not any near to monster engine ..
hey dougal any ideas for running a turbo similar to the performance ct26 that everyone talks about?
I am curious to what configuration that turbo could be.
Dougal said:Honestly the closest you'll find in a used turbo is a Holset as they are the only turbos using similar design principles (i.e. low rpm boost and high boost capacity for diesels). Exactly which holset is a bit of a mystery, I've never put the time into understanding their model designations.
Or just ask Graeme about his custom built CT26 based turbos.
when someone takes the time to fine tune a piece, i feel they have a right to keep the info to themselves.
what do you feel is "high boost" for the 1HZ?

if you want a turbo that performs bloody wickedly on a 1HZ then shoot me an email and i will put you in touch with a guy that makes a 1HZ rock.
