    turning my 86 2L into a Turbo 2LT with a Saab TD04-15

    turning my 86 2L into a Turbo 2LT with a Saab TD04-15

    The 12x1.5 was for the turbo oil inlet. I originally had a restrictive fitting as that’s what came with my kit.. it was junky and the threads galled up right away. After a while I changed it to a new non restrictive style and noticed that the turbo spooled a hair better and no negatives ( no...

    Had the gopro in my bag so I took a quick crummy ride along vid.. hopefully convince a couple more people to try the td04 😆..

    turning my 86 2L into a Turbo 2LT with a Saab TD04-15

    heck yea!!! I am running oil only, from the aussies recommendations the coolant lines have no benefit and are a weak point for leaks. I bought the generic amazon Mambo oil lines, and the fitting was kind of an oddball on my Saab turbo so I got a Fragola 12.1.5mm 4an fitting off eBay. I bet the...

    Thanks. Cant recomend doing it enough as I drove mine NA for a year and now almost 2 years with the turbo. Besides it going faster it sounds cooler and better MPG. literally only hurts to buy the parts LOL I need a whole bed, as mine has rust and will need some special bits made to fix it...

    turning my 86 2L into a Turbo 2LT with a Saab TD04-15

    I'm not concerned about the higher boost since my EGTs are stable and under 1200 under most conditions.. the fuel to make 20 psi on a CT20 is about enough to make 30psi on the TD04 I think. Was yours making smoke at 20 psi? mine is still clean at 20psi with the TD04. for the cluster, you can...

    possible, I havn't seen that option before... Mine does not have that, and I can attest that when it was NA, it was overfulled to all heck when I drove to Tahoe.. there I could only give it about 75% throttle without smoking bad.

    Right now at full chooch it makes 25 psi at 3300 rpm and thats at about 1150F EGT.. cruising at 70 takes about 8-10 psi and normal acceleration is around 10-15psi in your photo here you can see the extra mechanism on top of your IP with the circle and hose nipple Here is what my NA IP looks...

    turning my 86 2L into a Turbo 2LT with a Saab TD04-15

    Good eye on the wastegate situation! from the start I always had it disconnected, but at first I wanted the option to use it if I ran into the need.. Since my fuel pump and turbo are so small the turbo never overboosts so I welded it. I hated the bracket from the day I made it because it was...

    turning my 86 2L into a Turbo 2LT with a Saab TD04-15

    it seems to spool fine all around, but its large enough I don't run the waste gate at all.. can build some boost below 2000 rpm, but it is happy to make 20psi in its sweet spot from 2000 to 4000 rpm.. the rectangle t25 flange was part of why I went that way, just to keep things easy. for being...

    turning my 86 2L into a Turbo 2LT with a Saab TD04-15

    Thanks.. I'm pleasantly surprised with the 9mm pump too.. just goes to show that the pump is not the limiting factor and the turbo is... the 12mm pump is in my long term upgrade plans. I'm a little oldschool so I like my fully mechanical injection pump, a little bit of foot control is needed...

    turning my 86 2L into a Turbo 2LT with a Saab TD04-15

    I figured this would be better appreciated in the diesel forum than the truck forum.. my 86 Ln65 started in Japan but now lives in the Us.. it has the factory 2L alloy top with Roller Rockers, I added the turbo in 2020 after driving from Portland to Reno and it took me 4 extra hours because I...
