So, what do you all suggest be done in conjunction with a turbo kit? Pyro gauge is a no brainer. If I am rebuilding my injectors, should they be shimmed to a higher pressure? Upgrade my radiator (I have no idea is its the original but it is in good condition)?
Boost gauge and water temp gauge too. Oil temp and pressure gauge are next on the list too. A 4 core rad is nice if you're pulling long hills and/or have A/C.
I offer the kit for $2,200.00. This includes a brand new Garrett GT series turbo, new Toyota 13bt turbo manifold, CNC machined matching adapter,hi-temp reinforced gasket set, custom drain flange w/gasket, stainless steel braided teflon lined oil lines all prepared to length w/ correct fittings, all necessary hardware for installation, and silicon intake hoses w/ SS t-bolts. Your welcome to call me for more info. We've provided over 30+ kits so far for 40's,42's,60's,70,setc.

i NEED ONE OF YOUR TURBO KITS! i HAVE AN 82' BJ47 TROOPY WITH THE 3B. LOOKING FOR MORE POWER INDEED! IT LOOKS LIKE AN AMAZING TURBO KIT.

This is by far the cheapest and highest quality kit I've seen so far. If I built another 3B and had some excess quarters, I'd spring for it.
Nice machine work guys.
AXT want $1500 just for their fuel enrichment kit (modified altitude compensator)
Keith: do you do an enrichment device similar to AXT's/Ray Hall?

Icelanticman- Your welcome to contact us if you want to discuss your build.
Yotahed- We don't offer one. I know our 83BJ42 Canadian had an altitude comp but I honestly have never noticed any benefit sense the turbo kit was installed.

Fuel aneroids aren't enrichment devices, they actually work the other way by reducing fuel when off-boost.
But with a fast-spooling turbo and low boost the need for one disappears. These engines are generally safe running around 9psi boost which is about 35% more torque and power than stock.
It's when you're running a lot of boost and fuelling requirements for on/off boost become very different that you absolutely need a boost compensator. Particularly if you run a large turbo that doesn't spool up well down low.

I was just thinkin of an excuse to modify the HAC module. I run a max of 18psi and get 10-12 psi @1800rpm matted with a little lag in the higher gears. Runs a max 1100f on any hill. Id like a little more fuel down low to help spool a bit better but leave the top end fueling as is.
Whats your exhaust diameter currently...You might find that an increase right off the back of the turbo will give you faster spool up down low. It also allows heat to leave the engine faster as well. just a thought...for a 3b diesel with a turbo...3 inch exhaust works quite well. Its better if you can get mandrel bent corners too instead of crush bends. Put some good mufflers though that help with the flow as well....On two of my diesel vehicles Ive increased exhaust size and put the equivilant diameter thrush glass pack straight through mufflers... Works a charm, sounds amazing and interior sound is excellent.
Dougal,
I'm running 14lbs. with no boost compensator. What sort of differences in performance might I see with one? What model compensator is appropriate?
Maybe none eh?
Or maybe just that pump spring mod?

A boost compenstor will only reduce fuel when off-boost to stop smoke. It can't get you any more fuel or power.
Since the difference between on/off boost air consumption and fuel with these isn't great, you're better with just a fast spooling turbo.
you mean like my 80's vintage sleeve bearing volvo turbo?
heh heh....
I may change the governor spring.

What is this pump spring mod? Ive heard of it before, but never quite understood what it did or how you can get more fuel out of the pump through it. School on.
Which 80's volvo turbo?
TD05-12B
.....in all honesty it seems to work well, puts out around 14lbs and there's never any easily perceivable black smoke. it does seem to work better than another turbo 3B I have with a Garret volvo turbo from the same era.
I'm thinking changing the spring will help with fuel mileage which is always a plus
Gerg, you don't get more fuel. My understanding is that full fuel is only delivered at higher boost situations. It sort of accomplishes the same thing as a boost compensator. Swap in the spring from an old turbo Mercedes. It's a bit longer and has a different spring rate.
I've not done it so other may know more.........ie feel free to correct my understanding.

My exhaust is 2.5" downpipe into 3" straight pipe dumping before the back tire. All mandrel bends.
Gerg-> the spring mod is a mercedes governor spring from an old 240d car. 10 buvks from the dealer. I have the part number in my thread "3b boost compensator alternative"
It gives a lower setting on the fuel screw a higher out put at full load. Where the stock spring, you set it higher for higher full load power, which may give more smoke down low, this spring wont give as much smoke down low and still acheive the same or higher full load power.
So yes, very similar to a boost compensator, just not as refined.
Easier to explain by spending the 10 bucks and spending the 10 mins to put it in. 8)
Gives a bit more tunability as well
You can also play with the 2 venturi tube orientations in the throttle assy as they have an affect on throttle response.
How many rpm to hit 10psi with the TD05? A TD04 is probably as good a match as you'll get. The TD04HL is the hot ticket for 4BD1T's.
Well im not super interested in no smoke down low via cutting the fuel. I would prefer to have no smoke through a better burn with more boost. If you can get more fuel at higher rpms then that would be interesting. I guess ill have to test it out.
Thanks.
Thanks.
