What PSI at what RPM 13B-T

To take advantage of your intercooler you would want to increase your fuel. But it does increase cumbustion pressure. Water meth would be a much more effective way of cooling EGT's. More so than an intercooler. The Intercooler is used to get more air into the cylinder for more fuel. It is not going to radically reduce the temp because the air ends up compressed in the cylinder causing extreme heat build up (EGT's). That is why the use of an intercooler on a pre cup engine is not widely used.

At 15psi with a 20 degree C intake, the air leaving your turbo is just over 100 degrees C.
A good intercooler can strip this down to about 40 degrees C, a great intercooler can get it even closer to ambient.
This drops your EGT's by a similar amount, reduces cooling load on the engine and increases engine efficiency.

Plenty of factory turbo intercooled IDI diesels around. Mitsubishi, Mazda, Toyota, Isuzu.
Of course IDI is old technology, all modern performance diesels are direct injection (this includes common rail and unit injectors).
The 13BT being discussed is direct injection.

At 14.5 psi air is compress to the point where it heats up and is less dense.
On a cold morning all diesels run better, the air is cold and dense .
So you get better performance in the morning and with an intercooler ,and that's a good enough reason to add an intercooler.

Happy cold mornings!!

My 13B-T performs better in Summers.


I replaced the t-stat. It had jammed open causing flow of water and not heating up the engine.


I will adjust the boost controller to a point where black smoke disappears. Don't know if this is right but I will keep it below 14.5PSI. And; I do have a boot guage. I just wanted to know if there is an ‘easy’ homedone way of calibrating the controller.

I had plans to water inject , I can homebrew everything in just 24hours (I have the hardware and experience). But then again, I am no mechanical engineer and have no intentions to make my 13B-T a racer vehicle.

I got the boost controller. Tapage thanks for the recomendation, it works great and looks cool. The dealer is also a nice fellow and a good businessperson.

A neat trick that works and saves a few $$:

Run the hose pipe (vacuum/boost lines) inside i.e. install the boost controller inside (contrary to under the hood). It works and you can then adjust the boost while you drive.

I am running at 14PSI.


Another topic... I have the pics of the max fuel adjustment screw of 13B-T. Should I start a new thread?

Start a new thread. Could you also mail it to me please ? bezr@mweb.co.za Thanks !

nice to ear that ..

Actually I'm not messing with the boost soo much .. so there are 2 setting maybe to me .. factory 8 PSI or 14 PSI .. and I just left it at the secont mark ..
