3b diy turbo question

[fe sus]

from past threads I gather some of you have run KKK turbos... I've found one in great condition, cheap, and have the 13BT manifold... is there an adapter plate for this or will I need to fab one? anyone done this? thanks

This one ( in my Tencha ) is a KKK

If the flange Inlet for the turbo is the same as a T3, then there is an adapter available. I posted the info on here for Crushers...

Might take me a while to dig it up.

I think for oil pressure best is the front plug on the oil galley. I had lots of oil there.

T's are ok. But why not have it's own connection??

Help me out with my terminology here, what is a KKK turbo please?

 

[fe sus]

It's a company like Garrett... poor name choice, I know... I think they're from Europe?

pilfered from the Internet.......... This is the KKK Turbocharger, The KKK turbo comes from Germany, many European cars use these turbos. Audi/VW/Porsche and others. This turbo shown the KKK 26 I belive, is similar to a basic T-3 turbo. The inlet flange is identical to the T-3 turbo. But some other KKK turbo's have very odd looking inlet flanges.


so a T3 flange may work.

din din din din din .. !

Yep German Co, in fact my old Porsche 944 come with a factory KKK 26/6 turbo. The same as I show in the pic ( K26/6 size )

from my post in another thread. Info on an adapter....

After much searching, I found my reciept for the adapter I bought. It was 75.99 USD.

I think the guy was Lance...... But it was a year and half ago.

It adapts to a T3 foot to Ct26. I thought it was quite a nice machine job they did. He had about 10 of them.

Thank you for your responses.

You learn something new every day (at least you do here at MUD).

Thanks


I had read your other post about the adapter.

I followed it as a map for my project.



Thanks man

I asked this before but didn't see get a response:

I plan on doing a DIY turbo using the inverted stock 3B exh. manifold. Would this configuration interfere with the power steering and/or ac pumps?

My BJ didn't come with these, but my FJ will be donating the parts. So, does any one have a suggestion (picture) of where to put these accessories if the stock locations won't work?

I tried the flipped manifold, with a td04 off a d-50 lasted about 8hours . D-50's had 2 different turbos I beleive the older ones had the larger tc05. The td04 really seemed to choke out around 2400rpm. Excellent bottom end boost and response.

THe problem with the power steering is the resevoire, the air intake on the turbo points right at it. So i took a resevoire and o ring elbow fitting off a 85 toy mini truck and mounted the resevoire to the fire wall. The little elbow o ring thingy fits right in the pump just like the tank does.

since i have given up on the mitsu and went with a junkyard t3 and a home grown manifold.

Thanks for the tip on the mini-toy resevior and elbow fitting. Sounds like a great work around!

Did your D50 set up last 8 hours because it choked the exhaust at 2400rpms or for some other reason? Was the turbo in good operating order?

Choking sounds like the turbo couldn't make the rpms to keep up with the exhaust flow. My understanding is turbos loose boost once its rpms exceed its efficiency curve. I didn't know it could actually obstruct exhaust flow by spinning too fast.

The turbo seemed to be in good shape when i pulled it.Very little shaft play, no oil leaks. I drove the d-50 for a while it ran good!! I just think I over spun it, blew the bushings ,smashed the fins on the turbine side. Luckily no shrapnell went into the engine

 

[cruiserjunktion]

I thought it depends .. usually if you place it " inside " top mount, usually you have a hood scop to allow fresh air, pas througt the intercooler ..

Obviously, I have a scoop planned for the intercooler.

Not so much RPMs, but flow but directly related with rpms going to fast as they cannot keep up. Also when the rpms get too high bases on it's flow rating to low, they start to choke, based on things like angle of attack. Airlfows delaminate on the surface of blades and can also reverse flow. Or stagnate.

My camera got boosted..........


*&^%ing theives..........

lots of progress to post

need a new camera 1st

 

[ylexot]

I'm with you on &%$# thieves. Some jerk stole my wife's bike of the front porch last week!

Lookin' forward to your next round of pix!

 

[attatoy]

early 300d turbo , 10 psi , s*** hauls. egts get closs to 1100 now.


I MIGHT ADD THE THE FUEL SCREW IS THE SAME SCREW THAT STOPS THE EDIC ARM ......IE THE FUEL KILL LEVER WHEN IT IS RUN POSITION. WHEN IT IS IN RUN MODE IT IS AGAINS THIS SCREW, THIS IS WHAT YOU ADJUST SO IT MAKE THWE ARM RUN IN A DIFFERENT POSTION. ..... I might add that all those that where posting should get a clue in explainnig this fact. make is 100 percent simple, unlike your explinations that MADE NO FxxxIN SENCE. any how, back to sanity. truck goes good. i hope my explination helped as i do not nee a pic and it makes pesfect sence if you know what a edic arm is!

maybe one from the new lx500
