Can anyone tell me what the best type of turbo charger would be for my HJ60 Diesel 2H. And If anyone knows where I could get the best deal from?

Thanks a lot Marty....

Marty
I have recently installed a dts turbo to my hxj75 and am very happy with it
The kit was easy to install and the results are good both with economy and a massive power increase. Do a job on the thermo fan at the same time.
All the best

Hi Tony and Helen

How much did the dts system end up costing you (fitted)?

How many K's did you have on the motor? I have a HJ75 troopy with a 2H motor with 295K kms on the clock and have been wondering if it would be worth putting a turbo on it.
Compression is good and it runs very well. I have been told many times that they are good for 500K+ kms but I'm a bit worried that putting a turbo on it at this age may in fact shorten it's life...Anyone have any thought or experiences?

Cheers
Alex

Hi all
Dts (Dynamic turbocharger services) I purchaced thru opposite lock and was originaly quoted $3400 after phoning arround and comparing and then talking to opposite lock again I bought the kit for $2800 and installed myself, took me about 6 hrs. 1HZ engine
The only hard part is the oil return and all seem to bash a hole in the sump and thread to take a barb which is epoxied in, personaly I would sugest removing the sump and welding a bush in place to take the oil return line
The rest is unbolting and rebolting the instructions are easy to follow.
I had 135 K in febuary on the clock when installed !! 157 K now with no problems
Also note that boost pressures are different among brands the higher the boost the more strain on parts ( mine in a 9 psi waste )

Cheers
Tony
