Thinking of a turbo for your 1hz?

Interesting article Davoe.

I've always been sceptical about turbo add-ons, regardless of the make.
As stated, factory turbo jobs invariably have heavier cranks, pistons etc.

Aaaw! Davoe.

Now you have gone and done it, I'm not going to sleep well tonight.

Nah! just pushing your buttons.

I have a 1997 75series Troopy that I after market Turbo'd, and before doing so I spent many hours researching same as well as locating articles similar (if not the same) to the Safari 4x4 one.

Anyway, l
Aw! Dong story cut short, I had a DTS turbo kit fitted, the fuel pump and injectors removed, aneroid fitted, then recalibrated and bench test/set (whatever that thingo is/does) with an end result of 10% max boost (I think from memory).

That was 4 years ago and all is well.

The big trick is to prevent over fueling (the aneroid does that) and keep the boost within the limits the 1HZ can tollerate.

AND Thats why all of the above cost me $5200 instead of numerous other quotes of between $2500 -$3500. (From memory the aneroid alone was about $1500 supplied and fitted).

Just recently I fitted a EGT to see what was going on after checking out the '747 cockpit' of he who has one of every thing (Roachie) and found the operating temp around the mid range mark.

Anyway its all 'food for thought'
