Had some problems with the alternator wiring Changing to internal reg, so the glow plugs would not work, found a diagram with the wire colours and sorted that. Give it a bleed tighten up the injector pipes and it fired up first pop. Posted a video on instagram @dakalberry Not sure how to post here

Intercooler fitted and turbo side pipe done

More than one turn and the motor goes in to run away? As in you can’t turn the motor off with the key and it revs and smokes till it throws a rod? I have gone 2 turns on a non turbo pump I had to adjust the throttle plate and idle screw because it had a high idle with no run away. I guess if the...

So what engine turbo setups have you done can you link some build threads? Just as I don’t take financial advice from some with less money than me, I want to know the you have actually built some compound turbos diesels. 😊

You can get an external waste gate to do any pressure you need, by applying pressure to the top of the diaphragm. I think having the small turbo set to 45psi will make it do all the work, the pressure ratios will be very uneven. I think get some pressure out of the manifold to the second turbo...

Okay so should have EMP lower than intake pressure. I think I will definitely put a gauge on for testing. I thought a good setup would be 1-2psi higher

Not sure how to set opening pressure the waste gate from the small turbo into the second turbo I was going try a 15psi start with.

But my boost gauge goes to 60 seems like a waste not to use all of it, Lol Ok I might look for some 1kz pump parts, does the head fit or does it require Engneering. Stuff from China is a bit hit or miss, sometimes great sometimes a waste of metal.

No haven’t done the math Yeah I have had this 2876 since 2009 so that map should be right. I am just going off my limited experience, I had that turbo on a 2L and it was a bit to big no boost under 2000rpm set up free floating running 30-35psi no intercooler. Then I swapped to the T2552 turbo...

Not sure how sure how strong the crank but I am gonna find out. Just the standard 2wd hilux G box similar to a Toyota W box should be good for around 400hp I would lucky to make 3/4 of that. I would like to convert to auto but I don’t want to $1500. For second hand 300+k auto.

Yeah I know IDI is a bit gay, I think it is definitely a limiting factor a lot of heat and energy is left in the pre combustion chamber. I do have a 1KD motor that I would like to make mechanical injection for. The turbos I am using is the ones I have spare a T2554 for the primary and a GT2876R...

Yeah not sure if the pump will have enough fuel to make 60psi but I will have go. I don’t think a diesel can have to much air, not enough air and too much fuel would be more of a problem. Too much boost is hard on turbos that’s why you do compound so each turbo has a lower pressure ratio.

I swapped the top of the 2L pump because that compensator is going to be in the way of the intake manifold I am making, just wondering what it did Do you know what the numbers on the bottom of the pump tag mean 2L 0.9 40 5L 0.7 22 I would have thought the 5L would have higher numbers

This the 5L pump what is thing on the top?

GT2876R Just the standard pump the photo is after I rebuilt and fitted a smaller turbo T2554 turn the pump down 1 turn running 18psi sold it to a friend still running10 years later
