Re: 1HD-FT into 80 Series

It's not the way that I do it (diode) but it will probably work well and give you what you want. Im always available to take a call, or at least will call back. I even have to do this with dealers.... Raising the boost alone on an FTE will do nothing for you if you are that close to boost cut. In ...

Re: 1HD-FT into 80 Series

Hi CustomTurbos i have a HDJ100r with 1HDFTE How do you get around the over-boost fuel cut on the 1hdfte? I have attempted to raise the boost but I cannot increase it even 1psi or the engine goes into fuel cut. You must stop the ecu seeing 4v. You can do this electroncially or via pressure bleed to ...

Toyota builds for 500kkm, its part of the Toyota ethos, thats the secret. Its the same with engines such as the 2JZ-GTE. These have made as much as 950hp at the wheels (dyno queen) on a stock bottom end unopened. Thats quite incredible. Compare that to the much coveted RB26-DETT which gets block ...

Torque/power curve. All uncorrected, at wheels This one shows steady state at 1409rpm. It's making 66whp, 11psi boost and AFR's are still over 17:1. The 1HZzzzzz usually makes less than that at 3400rpm! The EGT's on this setup are great, not so for the other options presented. 1HZ 11psi no ...

Re: 1kz-te fly by wire intake

Three reasons for butterfly on diesel: * Shut down engine (such as 12HT) * Reduce shut down shudder by reducing effective compression ratio (early 1HDFTE) * Assist with egr by creating a vacuum in the intake manifold, drawing the exhaust gas in (such as late 1HD-FTE) Bypass your EGR, remove the ...

Re: 1HD-FT into 80 Series

Josh, The Garrett line up are very well suited for petrols, but not so much diesels. Two significant reasons are the large disparity in exhaust temperatures and the lower rpm of opeartion. The former is perhaps the biggest factor. If you have clear goals then there is a clear answer. The factory ...

Anyone can retrofit one of those on any chip. Its a strictly on/off basis though. There are other ...

Swaftec is on Outers as "Swaffie", check in Nissan forum as he mostly does the TD42's - The same type pump used in the 1HZ.

The factory turbo does have the 12mm std however the timing ramp is completely different.

If the plenum is large enough then the entry point won't matter much. Thats the problem though. How do you make it alot larger? The $1M question is: "How many cylinders worth of volume do we need in the plenum?" I don't know the answer, I'll bet it takes a fair bit of CFD to know for sure. Once we ...

Re: 100 series petrol to diesel

1HZ plus a good turbo and excellent cooling and one of Swaffies pumps could go nicely. Dont expect 1HDT economy though.

As for auto, as far as I know they work of TPS and rpm only, so you should be ok with some mildly clever interception. This is theory - not done it.
