Hi guys, been a lurker for a while now, finally pulled my finger out and signed up.
I know this question has been asked a lot. I did a search found a lot of posts but its still hasn't answered my questions to my satisfaction because I want to get this right the 1st time.
As the topic says what the best turbo for a 3B considering these factors power/torque (never seen a dyno printout of before and after yet), when the boost comes in, when it makes max boost, reliability is also key and also what boost a 3B can handle with or without and intercooler.
I love diesels, with this 3B 1981 BJ42 being my 1st diesel. I sadly only have the 4 speed, but do have power steering. For a diesel I have no probs doing 110 km/hr or more in fact I have hit 160km/hr before seeing how far it would go, but come to any hill and it drops back to 80km/hr or less. This is the main problem its lack of hill climbing ability, especially in sand dunes. I drive Stockton beach here in Australia regularly and need more power to climb the big dunes.
I have a fair bit of experience and know how when it comes to petrol turbos but nill for diesel turbos. So be specific all you like I will understand when talking about housings, wheel sizes, trims etc. I have helped a mate to re-turbo his nissan skyline GTR with HKS 2530 turbos to make 670+hp at the wheels and break the low mount turbo world record with a 1/4 mile time of 10.32s @ 133mph on street legal tyres. So like this car which is not laggy and has a great powerband I'm after similar response and correct turbo matching for the diesel as in good low down grunt without it running out of puff in the top end.
I want to run a minimum of 1bar or 14.5psi without intercooler and as high as the turbo can flow with intercooler. Taking into consideration the core of the turbo whether its ball bearing or not will obviously determine boost pressures.
Any help will be appreciated especially before and after dyno printouts.
Cheers
