turbos

what boost are you pumping now....and what do you expect to get when you fit the new?...there is a limt you know...the power plant can only take so much.

G'day Nudie,
Thanks for the "O" rings, they turned up today and the bigger of the 2 sizes looks just about spot on....cheers

The turbo (standard) packs about 8psi. I had the mob at Berrima that we aren't allowed to mention on here, tune the truck about 150,000klm ago and the did a minor modification to it which raised the boost to it's current level of 12 psi. All the did was to cut into the rubber hose at the waste gate, insert a "T" piece and run a similar diameter rubber hose up to the air box, to equalise the pressure.....instant 4psi increase.

The bigger turbo is aimed not so much at extra boost (although the bloke at Berry reckons it'll go up to about 14psi), but rather it is hoped the larger exhaust port will aid the "breathing" of the bigger donk than this existing turbo was designed for. He reckons it'll reduce the EGTs (not that they are high at the moment) and will make the fuel economy better. We shall have to wait and see!!

Cheers mate

bloomin hell...12 psi
ahhh what the heck...whats a couple more psi....ramp it up to 14...go on!

the larger section is 62mm x 4mm
the smaller is 2.5ins. x 1/8 (actually almost 3.5mm....how that happens has got me beat)
any how, note this down......they are available from ludowici at regency park....and others but dont ask me where or who...i only went to ludowici....sorry but you'll have look up the phone no yourself....the kids have left my office phone books inside the house

hi Ford Rodeo my chassis problem was fixed under warranty by holden only after i got in touch with the department of fair trading

Regards bigfella

Big fella, no warranty on mine but I dont think its a warranty problem. More a case of manufactures fault. Dunno if they see it that way!!! Thanx for the info, much appreciated.
