1hdft turbo (1 Viewer)

[karamjit]

hi, I'm new to the 80s club, so what I wanna ask today that, my dad recently bought a 80s Landcruiser with 1hdft engine and he wants to do some upgrades on it like intercooler, turbo upgrade and a 3inch exhaust upgrade. but he doesn't know what kind a turbo he should buy he wants something above the middle range but not a overkill so he ask me to do some research on it.

So I did some research but not a lot and I found a turbo but I'm not sure if that's in a middle range or not ill put up the link.

Ball bearing turbos aren't fantastic on a diesel. Look up GTurbo or UFI.

Kinugawa and Mamba turbos are both somewhat generic.

Pretty sure the do non ball bearing turbos.

If you haven't found it yet, go look in the DieselTech section of the forum and do some searching there.

A for mods, 3" exhaust with good full flow 3" mufflers are something i would 100% do to get the best out of a turbo upgrade.

Read up on tuning, EGT gauge, boost gauge as a start
