Ive been asked about turbo selection by mates who want to turbo their diesels.

2 have land cruisers with 4.2l diesels and another is rebuilding a 10.2l cat diesel to put in an old cruiser as an unlicensed farm car.

Does anything we use on our cars even come close to suiting a diesel? Both cruisers would rarely see 4000rpm but with the capacity difference they would only require a bit more air?

The guy with 10.2l cat engine would prefer twin setup. I'm unsure of the characteristic differences required between the 2 fuels and it got me curious.

Hoping someone has experience or could point me in the right direction.

Cheers

And people put the HX35 onto 2.6ltr motors and then wonder why they are buckets of sh*t :D

it's not much chop on the 5.9 Cummins either, but that is the stock turbo so that's what went back on

though I think it's more the breathing setup on the truck more than the turbo, and the factory waste gate is 2 bar

Yuh, petrol turbos and diesel turbos have different sizing of compressor relative to exhaust housing. Tends to make them not great matches when swapped.

Smaller compressor to turbine?

Would imagine 1.06 rear as they would be under load for longer and response is less of an issue?

Might see if Stao makes/modifies anything for the 4.2's

what about a 2.5 diesel turbo on a 2009 nissan navara? what could be done to give it a bit more go without massive expense like computers etc my bro just bought one.. :yes:

Mate put a 3076 anti sugre with a .82 rear on his GU Patrol TD42, highmount manifold and external gate. Thing is super responsive and makes about 180rwhp, which for a diesel is a lot.

I beleive Kando are starting to make some TD05 combo's aimed at Diesels, United Fuel injection in Perth are using some now.

Single cab in that goldy colour and lift kit?

One passes my place regularly and I can hear it spooling from miles away

Block wastegate hose :whistling:

lol.. i dont think he wants 30psi.. the later models have a variable vane turbo, maybe one of those would be a good upgrade.. answered my own question..

i wonder if one of the housings could be slapped on a skyline for extra response..maybe discopotato would know

so do diesel engines work well with gt30's?

try a 3" exhaust and a performance chip, 20-30% increase depending on quality of components

I was looking at some Gensets i worked around. Detroit Diesel 8.7L Inline 6. 200HP @ 1500RPM (Genset so locked to 1500RPM).

Wasn't able to see the ID tags on the turbo because of the turbo beanie that was wrapped around it.

But no wastegate, looked to be something similar sized to that of a GT30 with a huge exhaust housing - go figure its a diesel. Non water cooled core. I did see the compressor wheel on one when the engine was getting a service and it had quite a small compressor wheel.

After going through all the engine parameters on the Genset control unit, i cam accross Boost pressure. Boost pressure was holding at a constant 0.1 - 0.2 Bar. Which is bugger all. I believe in this instance these engines are turbocharged purely to get more efficiency out of them.

Another story, a friend of mine is currently working out which turbo to replace his current one on his 5L (3 Litre) Hilux engine. Currently has a TD04-13G. According to MTQ and Adelaide turbo services keeping that Turbo is ideal for that enigne.

Bit of a story there but maybe some of it was useful :whistling:

I've worked on 6L- 60L gensets and they all ran 15-25psi. Sounds like yours wasn't loaded up

Diesel exhaust temps are somewhat lower than high strung petrols.....so the variable vane mechanisms usually shit themselves fairly quickly when misapplied (ie used on petrol). Only Porsche and a couple of others have gone to the effort of engineering variable vane petrol engine stuff that can handle it.

That was with 70% Load. I thought the exact same thing when i first looked at it. Then read the screen three times, and yes very low boost pressure. Its exactly the same when the Gen sets are unloaded as well.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
