Dougal... can you remind me what Turbo you are running? And how much did you turn up the fuel? Did you advance the pump timing? I remember you saying something about 1500F EGT before turbo (maybe you posted in C, can't remember).
ah... 750C is... 1350F. From what I understand, that's pretty darn hot. Not quite enough to do damage, unless it stays at that level for a long time.
and is that in a Rover? What transmission is behind it? Auto or stick?
I'm really interested to see/feel/drive the difference between a pumped up 4BD1T and a 1HDT or 1HZ(t). Too bad neither really exist around here.
If you guys are interested in some pics let me know.
You're making us ask?
Hurry up with the pics.
Excellent news.
So just to get a benchmark for this turbo, how many rpm until it deliveres say 10psi boost and how much earlier is this than the original?
Do you know your boost and EGT figures at a 100km/h flat road cruise?
Here are some pics of my latest conversion. 4BD1-T into a 85' FJ60.
Roughly, the weight of a 4BD1T with A/C compressor, starter, alternator, wastegated turbo. Intake & exhaust manifolds, flywheel, PS pump, Injector pump and sump full of engine oil is 785 lbs. (See Post #440 in this thread). I haven't weighed the 3FE yet.Anyone know a rough estimate of the engine weights of 4bd1t and a 3fe? I'm trying to figure what OME springs to put up front of my 80. I'm thinking 850's.
The conversion consist starting from the front,
1. Spal fan 14"
2. Be Cool radiator 26" x 18"
3. 86' 4BD1-T w/IHI turbo 2 1/2" exaust to a 40series muffler
4. IDS kit w/the steel adapter ring 5/8" thick.
5. 6 bolt TQ converter
6. TH400 with manual shift kit
7. AA to the split kit
8. high angle front shaft
9. rear shaft was shortened by 1 1/2"
10. Kept the original pwr steering resvr
11. used a 87' suzuki samuari throtle cable
12. used a ford explorer tranny cooler for the TH400
13. Autometer 2888 that doesent work bad mag PU
14. alot of metal work and time
The one major problem is I dont have an OD, Major problem.
The guys, at I wont say said they have experienced problems with customers doing this conversion using the T700R4. Something about the tranny not shifting correctly. Assured me that going with the TH400 was the way to go . So their I went topped out at about 53mph. Not very happy. It runs fine and pulls like a loco-motive but doesent have the legs.:whoops: I will probably go w/35" or 37" tires. Do you know of a company that sells taller gears than the ones I have in it 3.70.
