A little update on what we are doing at Gturbo :)
To help us improve our products on all turbos from the Grunter through to the Bad Boy Extreme, we are testing our products in the most extreme sevice.
So far we had the debut race on the weekend of the 1HD-FTE powered GQ Patrol from HP Diesel...
Video: 4th gear, 33" tyres 3.9:1 Diff. There's a few more vids I'll post when I have time.
Hi all, we have been having some fun lately racing a Nissan Patrol fitted with a 1HD-FTE. Built and owned by Mark Murray of HP Diesel.
Performance has met our high expectations in real use however it...
Well, everyone here seems to talk mostly about the 4.2 engines (which I love by the way), and big heavy 3.9 litre 4 pots. But I've been cutting my teeth on vnt turbos with the 1VD V8 engines and the 3 litre 4cyl 1KD engines. (And both of those couldn't be more different)
I can tell you first...
Hi, well long time for no posts at all from me. Sorry about that, I got distracted. Tonight, every one is in bed and the cold weather is starting, so laptop on couch by the heater is good :)
I haven't had a project for myself in so long with Gturbo work commitments. Ive been so busy in fact...
Thats right, will post dyno complete with air fuel ratios. For the first time I have a dyno graph that shows all data (thanks to Mainline for that).
1HD-FTE 200whp and 900nm from 1750rpm and 29psi boost with 18:1 AFR at that point!
Mod list:
* GTurbo Bad Boy upgrade Kit
* 3" Exhaust
* HPD Top...
GTurbo CT26 Bad Boy Stage 1 + 1HD-FTE HDJ79 = over 200kW (edit - 213) at wheels!
Yep, we cracked it. 203.2kW (272 horsepower) at the tyres - 35" tyres too. No smoke machine either - much cleaner than a chipped 200 series twin turbo!
Will post dyno graph (before and after) tomorrow (edit, new...
G'Day; anyone interested in a safe turbo upgrade that will deliver better bottom end torque and substantially better top end power?
Gauging interest :-)
1HD-FTE with POWER! - Pics of fun with the Lexus
Some fun last weekend. Just to prove I'm younger and dumber than my age suggests.....
I prefer to think of it as the practical testing of the theory - The Gturbo - Grunter Stage 2 @ 24psi
Boy it was fun :D
It is in 4wd
Will change...
GTurbo turbos just got some additional attitude:
New range of turbos are available as of new week, all with extended tip compressor technology on comp wheels, all comp wheels chemically treated to reduce cracks and crack propogation, allowing higher rpm amd pressures. All Turbos Happy at the...
Hello Mudders,
I recently bought an ecu for a 1HD-FTE from a 79 series Ute with the view to using it as a test piece (ie: try to get "inside" it) for hotting up this engine.
I guess this is aimed at those who have done an FTE conversion or looked into it.
Can anyone tell me if the 79 ute...
Held for 10 seconds to get a more realistic (higher) pyro number, pre turbo, done in 4th gear. eBay front mount intercooler.
I havent seen 200hp @ wheels on a 1HD-T before, so you could say I'm very happy :D
AFR's lean at 19.3:1 (usually for light haze exhaust power tune, 17.5 is ok) at...
Hi there, well I have some dyno results from an inertia dyno for before and after with my turbo spec'd for a bad intercooler (ie: it sits on top on engine, no fan and bonnets scoops dont line up).
Will post results in morning from the interia test, but on a loaded test at 3K, did 131kW @...
Anyone out there done tests adding liquid fuel such as water/ethanol/methanol or gasiline, metered in in some way?
Quite a few have done it and some shops sell it.
For years there have been claims of additional power increases with some snake oil claims amongst them as well as misleading...
Hi!
Well I have said lots of stuff about what I am going to do etc. Well here I am going to tell you about what I have helped a mate do, so I am still "0" on the doing something lately for myself lol (except if you count transplanting a 2006 1HDFTE into a 2000 LX470)
A long time ago now...
Hi, I posted this thread initially in the 60 series area because the test guniea pig was a 12HT powered HJ61. But, If you have any of the other engines listed then this upgrade is available with the same improvements realised...
Hi, I have been researching turbos for many years now, mucking around with different designs for friends, relatives diesel race trucks, my own stuff and some private clients.
The 12HT is a great motor but it just doesnt deliver in the sub 2000rpm zone (unless you bore and stroke it to 5...
Hi, been meaning to start a thread heer fyi of readers.
Still no pyro, but have had a base dyno with a minor boost mod to maximize before fuel cutoff.
Dyno results for 1HD-FTE Auto 5spd, done in 4wd in 4th.
132kw @ wheels, 17psi, very little smoke - very light grey; not at all noticable on...
Hi, as the title suggests, I am looking for a Bellhousing for an A440F for the diesel which is the box in the 60 series Landcruiser.
Someone must have a dead gearbox lying around after a manual conversion.....
please email to graeme dot bentink at ausenco.com or phone 0401 524 399
best...
Hi Guy's,
I am building up a 12H-T for more performance over standard.
Thought some might be interested because 12H-T power threads are few and far between. Most owners don't dyno after mods like intercooler or extra boost or exhaust so it is hard to gauge how they compare to other excellent...
Hi,
I would like to use a A442F Torque converter in a A440F Bell housing.
Anyone know if it would fit??
Or alternatively; anyone know if 12H-T has same bolt pattern as 1HD-T??
Thank alot!
