OMG!! he used the steel tray:bang::bang:


Keep an eye out for an alloy tray and feel the difference unless you are going to be carrying around buckets off 50T excavators:D
 
i need the weight over the rear... BAD

and the tray doesn't weigh any more than 350KG

Ok,I know what you mean. But the alloy tray is about 250kg or less,I know 2 strong guys can lift one.
If you throw 2 big spares and a tool box over the rear axle it will be enough;)
 
best thing about a steel tray is that i can mod it real easy, its strong as and i can weld to it.
 
ok i have some random pix now, as i didnt take any when i was there...

Well its time for some Forced Induction

Thanks to Matt Craig from United Fuel Injection for letting me pick his brain and thanks to Glenn Crofts at MTQ for having all the parts there and ready and just down the road.

I ended up getting a Water cooled Garrett GT2876R BB turbo with a .64A/R, this will fit a little bit better within the ranges of the 1HZ compared to the GT2871R i was going to get. Its the same rear housing as the 71 but with a slightly larger front. It has a 4" inlet and a 2.5" outlet. Ill have to make a 3" exhaust side dump (the T25 bolt pattern is going to be tough...)

I got a DTS turbo manifold and a T3 - T25 adapter flange.

Ive got it 1/2 together i just need to get some new M8 bolts for the turbo mounting.

Cheers all

isnt it just :D

Updates at the end of the week people

peace out
 
Well i know why people don't put a turbo like this on their 1HZ charged Landcruisers very often... Its just not made for a snale this big... Very tight clearances...

Anyhow, i ended up taking the sump off and putting in my own drain pipe.
The turbo sits very low in the engine bay, perfect for fitting in the cooler, pipework and dump but bad for the 4" intake as its very close to the engine mount. The waste gate actuator is almost hard up against the side of the block too.

Enough of the blab i know u want to see some pix of a silly big turbo on a 1HZ

ok i have a video i just made, i blew off the intake hose at the top of the road but you get the idea :twisted: Oh and no comments on my dodgy pipework lol its all temporary. Raw uncompressed video: 1HZ Turbo Youtube upload to come soon
 
Cheers fellas

I put my boost gauge in and found out its only hitting 6psi lol... all that noise at 6psi..

I wound the fuel out, and lowered the idle to 800rpm subsequently. only just over 1 turn.

Im now hitting waste pressure @12.5psi @2500rpm.

The needle snaps right to 10psi straight away where the gate starts to crack

I can hit 5psi just revving under no load lol.

Ill play around with it some more when i get the cooler sorted and a pyro

Cheers fellas
 
Cool:cool: Does your Nissan owning neighbour come out and cheer :D
