Bit off topic 3.5l Turbo

As above I have a T3500 Mazda truck 3.5L 4cy . Have just rebuilt the engine, and following a bad idea of putting a ebay turbo on it Im keen for a smaller turbo. So my question is, what size turbo?? Seems to be hard question even for MTQ. I would like boost of 8-12psi by 2000 Rpm, keep in mind the ...

Re: td42 rebuild options?

I will say a balanced motor does make a noticeable differance at high rpm, when i rebuilt my old SD33T i got the rotating assembly balanced and did the rods and pistons myself.

All good info. Yes turbo pump is bigger. N/A oil pump only has about 30 psi pressure at max torque around the 1800-2000 rpm. But when fitted to a N/A the power is around 3000rpm by that point it has it 50psi. Althought a very wide bearing still didnt do mine much good, shells were marked after only ...

sounds like the delivery valve on the injectors pump is playing up. I take it you didnt swap injectors as they are the same.

Since all you did was add a turbo and manifold plus injector pump the prob must be there some where. Silly question no stray rags stuck in the intake???
