ah yes the old lid trick, I did that to my mech pump on previous L motor, Ive got everything in and working finally, was waiting for a alloy radiator shroud to be built,
what boost have you settled with? my boost gauge only reads max 15 but I wound my boost controller in a fair bit to get slightly more boost, as Im running a water 2 air system already with a water chiller, it spiked off the guage when I hit foot flat, wasnt expecting it to go off the scale but man did the boost comp throw in some fuel then???? like dusted the whole street instantly 15 psi isnt enough to bottom the boost rod out at the moment, the engine sounded really angry then
,seems you need like 20pounds to get all the pump working to what it was designed to be, but Im not really keen on running 20 all the time, spose Im going to have to soften the boost comp spring? or wind the inner plastic racthet mechanism down, cos I would like to run leaner and cruise lower boost pressures untill you want the boost and fuel
Have you ever heard of damage from diesel knock/pinging in the 1kz?
yes I would agree Ive never heard any actual knocking from mine, just a distinct diesel combustion rattle as it enters and passes 2500rpm, excellerating or coasting just something I gotta live with
so I may share my next mod with the world
found Im wanting to have economy for road (no soot) and power offroading and cant be bothered winding fuel rod around alot, gets tiresome
so machined a rod down, bored out spare fuel rod and have silver soldered a push solenoid with extenal plunger to it, so at the touch of a switch the solenoid throws out and mechanically gives you more fuel, my ebay solenoid can have max 5mm movement but adjust as little as you want with the bush Ive made to join the 2 together

basically wired up with full throttle micro switch and a on switch so idle isnt affected, offroad mostly testing in the sand dunes, can really get the 4by going quickly in a short area moving 2nd gear high range 4wd up dunes is a totally new experince, and who cares about how much black smoke you blow out it makes for good vids, so far my zorst is just a hazey colour, havent got any black colour yet, Im thinking with 5mm longer on the fuel rod it might, then switch it off if temps rise and egts arent managable specially in our summer here,im stoked, tho need to cover the whole thing once setup in a some electrogrease and dual wall heatshrink
going to wait for early autumn for a dyno run, hoping to have much bigger cooling for w2a by then, lpg sorted-trying boost pill in the boost line to lpg unit to bleed gas in slower at 10psi(cant use it with high load at the moment-way too much pinging) and a 30% 5th gear reduction, hoping to get revvs down to 2000rpm at 110 with 33s for a happier quieter engine, with the 3"in dump sitting on 3000rpm at 110 its alot of noise
Im guesing around 130hp atw perhaps? so much fun to drive on the hwy specially hills it pulls and keeps pulling up hills
leaves my bros v8 cruizer ute behind(read he cant gain on me,so he cant catch me either,
