I'm running a Wink4x4 for over a year now.
I had my injector pump also overhauled through Wink, and preset for higher boost / more fuel.
The very first run I had with the overhauled pump, and the new turbo, I was so excited that I went a bit further then my own driveway. Very, very bad...
A friend of mine had more or less the same issue. As if the engine is not getting enough fuel around that rpm.
We were thinking towards the injector pump, but haven't figured it out yet.
Curious though what it might be!
I just installed a wink4x4 turbo on my 12HT.
Allthough I've only driven it for one mile (had to take the injector pump off because it was leaking oil after the overhaul), i was realy impressed!! Massive torque at low rev's. Can't wait to get the pump back, and run it again. Boost at 1,2 bar...
I highly doubt that.
The fittings are M16 for pressure side and M17 for return. This is an odd size, and I've been looking for replacements for a while. Only onces I could find were metric to JIC.
Can't imagine that it would work when swapped, but could be wrong there
Why? Sometimes 'just because we can'...
I've done so many things a certain way that wasn't necessary, but it's fun to fabricate and use your skills, I get his point.
Wouldn't have used pop rivets though.... ;)
To come back to the C-channels:
I've welded a square box section in place where the original C-channels were. Tag welded during the picture, fully seam welded afterwards.
Then I found some rust in the rear cross member, so I decided to make that into a boxed section as well.
Last main...
Yup, I'd check the fusible link. There very close to the positive battery connection. Maybe you created a short when you were fiddling underneath the car.
You're doing a thorough job!!
For my info, do you have type numbers on brake callipers/booster? I'm looking into the same mod, but I'm not sure exactly what type will fit.
How's you braking compared to before?
What I've been told is that its a device that will shut down fuel supply when the injector pump becomes too hot?
A friend had the wax element not completely return to normal position, so the IP was getting limited flow. It took al long time before we found that one out!!
From what I heard, it's not the spring that's worn but all mechanical items behind it that are part of the idle controller.
Due to play in them little rods and hinges the mechanical behaviour of this regulator became slower.
Replacement of the spring won't solve it. Increasing spring pressure...
Thnx for the info!
I'll see if there is a connection spot available on the wastegate, I bet a simple T coupling in between would do.
It could make the wastegate open a bit slower since it'll need to pressurize a larger circuit, but let's find out.
Thnx
I thought the pressure line on the crossover pipe was only there for the tubo indicator on the rpm gauge.
I plugged it when I installed my intercooler, and had to take the crossover pipe off.
No that I see this, I'll need to rethink this and find a spot to get this pressure signal I guess?
That's one hell of a truck! Had a small drive with Chris at Buschtaxi, Germany, pretty insane!!
Got the 3" exhaust and intercooler installed, next step will be a Wink somewhere in the future!
