Do you keep an eye on EGT's, and have you done anything to the internals to cope better with that much boost?
Don't know if a standard 1HZ would last long with your sort of (ab)use.

Wayne ,you never keep any of your 4wds for more than a year or two,so how would you know how long it will work for
Sure,its up to the individual what mods they do to their engines but it its also ok for others with differing opinions to express them.
Its unlikely a 1HZ turbo will get the same lifespan as a factory turbo. I cant recall any turbo 1HZ doing more than a 200000klms and many do much less.
Thats a sign of someone who hates anyone with an education. If it didnt work on paper,planes would fall out of the sky and bridges would fall down .
Why is it Wayno,run out of ideas again?
I used to, but dont need to anymore... The intercooler i made is very efficient!
Internals are all standard and holding up quite well. Last oil change i sampled the oil and took it to work to be analyzed (perks of my profession), everything was normal and carbon content was within acceptable specs.

Yeah, Nikland, listen to these okes advice...
Crushers, please point me to the search options you used to find discussion of issues (or lack of them) when turbocharging "high" compression motors. You're clearly convinced I haven't tried.
If it works on paper but doesn't work in real life, your model is inaccurate!

here is what i have found over the decades, those that live and work in the real world realize that nothing is perfect.
those that live in a controlled enviroment feel that the world can be controlled.
we need the geeks but the geeks need to realize that just because something SEEMS to work on paper does not promise it will work in the real world.
why then dropped the compression in the toyota turbo charged diesels, i don't know. maybe for longivity, maybe to compansate for different drivers, maybe a reason they never bothered to disclose.
why the turbo works on high compression diesels? not sure. i do know it works and it works well.
in the end, you and your geek buddies can sit around the latte table and discuss away till the cows come home...
and i will be out wheeling, testing, proving or disproving theories and practices.
you enjoy life your way, and if that is behind a desk that is fine by me.
i will enjoy it my way, geasy, muddy, and with a huge smile on my face.
it isn't a matter of lack of education, it is a matter of not giving a rat's ass and thinking outside the box.

Do a 10000km round-trip into southern Africa (if you know where that is) and see how much you can control. Not alot. Your environment seems alot more controlled than mine.
You jump to conclusions very quickly for a so-called experienced bloke.
Over and out.

yah, i have three families from South Africa that i call good friends. 2 fathers are doctors, well eductated. i find all the families humble, respectful and extremely friendly.
i know where South Africa is.
in your statement i would expect that where the enviroment is so uncontrollable that the engineers there would understand <even better that the ones here> that what works on paper doesn't always work when constructed.
if i knew you better then maybe i wouldn't jump so fast but the engineers i worked with personally in the past were arrogant know-it-alls that even when you expained WHY it wouldn't work their response was "it works on paper, make it work". it was like trying to deal with a spoiled brat...
don't take offense, go have a latte and relax. we are all Cruiserheads here.

Tell the engineers that their model is incorrect and walk away. That's what I do!
I'll rather have a beer, thanks.

good advice, where were you when i was working with them? damn. too simple.
Just saying my 1HZ is turbo and its the best thing ever.
Its done a few KMs and i like to give it a work out with my right foot. Its sweet.

I run 15 psi with a water/air intercooler and never go over 1000 on the egt, gobs of power 595-610 psi on all cylinders tested every year for the last 3 years, this engine doesn't miss a beat.
From all my research on the 1hz and turbos I wouldn't and don't ever exceed 1200 degrees on egt's, to do so is pretty bad advice in my opinion, 1000 is plenty and if you can't tune the boost and pump to keep you at 1000 then you are doing something wrong. I'll be making some changes in the next month month or two - ie. ceramic coating the turbo and manifold, and making some changes to my intercooler - should run even better after that.
The dyno results will be posted when I have it done, funny that no one else posts their dyno reports - I'd like to see a report from Zoltan on paper - and I'd like to see his egt's at 25psi for a prolonged period of time but I don't think it does ever run for long stretches like that. I also think Zoltans truck is not a daily driver but just a weekend toy for the beach and what not. Probably not a good example for a 1hz with a turbo as a daily driver.

remember, i'm italian...what's EGT?? temperature of exhaust gas??? thank you Louis..
