Outer Limits 4x4 Board

There is more than one distributor in Queensland for Garrett, there are 3 other than MTQ listed on Garrett's website for Queensland.

Unfortunately it looks like none of these turbos are Ball bearing I am sorry. The numbers I get them to identify as are:

V6 0198J
14411-54C00
7465997-1

Is a Journal bearing T28. With the 0.86 rear housing I do not think it would be successful on your TD42.

and the .80/.64 is

AE 0237J
14411 ...

I am 100% certain that the two ZD patrol ones are not ball bearing. I have pulled a few apart before and none have been ball bearing. Nothing I can find on the net states they are ball bearing.

The bearing you can see looking up the oil drain is because in those turbos they have a single journal ...

the 724639-2 is a standard ZD30 turbo, It is VNT and not ball bearing.

One of the turbos you have there is a ZD30 Navara turbo.

The other two look to be off SR20s, and may be one of them is the ball bearing one.

If you PM me the part numbers I will check what they are for you.

Does it have any sort of power up chip fitted. I believe some of them can cause this problem.

The GT Garrett turbos have the oil restrictor built into the bearing housing.

What vehicle is it on, Are you 100% sure there are no boost leaks anywhere. I have heard some really strange noises made by boost leaks especially as boost went over a certain level.

A GT35 will be far to large on a TD42 unless it has alot of work done. For a daily driver there are some much better options, that would also be cheaper and more compact.

Are you wanting a standard turbo kit bolted up? Or looking at something custom? What sort of budget?

Was it a new or second hand unit? If it was second hand I wonder if it is set up to run on the wrong number of cylinders. It tells you how to do it in the instructions

For the running on issue, they ...

Sorry SCANAS but coming from working inside a dealership the relationship between a dealer and a customer does come into it.

There are long term customers who will get things through warranty that are borderline or not warranty at all, simply because of their long standing relationship with ...

If it has a 1.14 turbine housing and going by the size of the comp wheel, It will be to big for a patrol.

If it is a cheap chinese turbo then I would leave them in his shed. By the time you buy two of them you could have bought a decent turbo that will work from the start.

Do they have any part ...

My GU was doing a similar thing,

All gauges dropped out while driving and would come back when they felt like it.

I took it to an instrument repairer, who sent it to someone in Sydney and had the cluster repaired. Cost me about $300 to repair.

Could it be that the callipers are now sticking, as the pistons have been pushed back in onto all the crud in the bore.

My old Hilux used to lock the brakes on after about 20min, Turned out it was a flexible line on its way out, allowing fluid to pass to the calliper but not return to the master ...

If it is the factory fitted turbo then it will be a Hitachi turbo I think the model is a HT 12 , The manifold flange is a T3 pattern.

If you only have a budget of $1000 you won't get much in the way of a new turbo. Do you already have an exhaust and upgraded dump pipe?

I think for $1000 you will ...

Can you PM me the numbers off the little silver tag in the bearing housing?

I will be able to identify it for you then

Lengthening the rod will decrease boost, but it will depend on the boost pressure of the actuator itself. The rod pushes outwards from the canister to open the wastegate. Therefore the shorter that rod is the further it has to travel to open the wastegate.

The shorter you make that rod the longer ...

I would be wary of them, Yes they are cheap to start out with, But I know a guy who went through two of them in a month before going to a Garrett. Most of these turbos can not be rebuilt as there aren't any parts available, and sometimes no one will rebuild them due to quality concerns.

I guess ...

I asked about the oil as we only usually saw similar failures in the HSV models, Something to do with lacking Zinc content in the engine oil apparently.

Time for a cam and edit RN - Then in a few years when someone buys it they can say it has the "police spec cam and chip" Like every second SS ...

What engine oil was used in them?

Have you tried Competition coatings at Archerfield. I can get their number on Tuesday if you like

There used to be a powdercoaters in Lillian Avenue at Sailsbury,
I got them to do the whole front end and etch prime my Torana front end years ago. Only cost me $200 to get done and there was way more work in that than a bullbar. They did a great job on it as there was lots of nooks and crannies ...

Let me know if it doesn't work out and I will look into some other turbos for you.

What turbo is on it now? Are you able to get any numbers off it?

I think a 35/40 would be far to big on it even if you changed to the smallest rear housing.

What flange pattern is your manifold? I will see what turbos I can find to suit it

Depends on what you want from it. Where are you scorcing the manifold from and what flange is it? For the prices you have put there would you should be able to scorce a complete kit that is up to the job I would think. Let me know if you want any of the parts as I may be able to help you either way.

The ZD30 is nicknamed the grenade as Bogged has pointed out, They pull the pin at the factory and how far they will get is anyones guess. If you google Patrol 3 Litre im sure you will find heaps of info on the problems they have, even searching on here I think there is plenty about them

To get it rebuilt try ZOK carbys - 3398 7026, heard nothing but good things about them. There used to be another place at Cooparoo but seems they aren't there now they were called ASKES carbys i think

I will give Superior a huge arms up :armsup: for customer service as well, I had purchased a Hilux lift off him and it wasn't sitting right.

Rang him and he said come over and he will measure it ( on i think it was xmas eve last year, he said we aren't really open but pop over anyway ) He got it ...

Apparently the turbos arent the best. My mates split the intake wheel in half recently and was lucky not to kill the engine with it. Apparently they are common for killing turbos

Is it chewing lots of fuel? Could it possibly be a coolant temp sensor issue? Had a few play up like that but they would surge then cut out and basically flood.

Ill agree with Mike Vine, He didnt make any promises other than it would be much nicer to drive for my 00 GU 4.2

Had him do injectors, pump timing and dyno tune, It is much nicer to drive and also gets better fuel economy now (925klms out of 95 litres all highway) and usually 1100+ from 160lts ...
