has anyone ever fitted a turbo to a petrol 80 series?

Re: has anyone ever fitted a turbo to a petrol 80 series?
Yeah - $7k drive in drive out is probably a bit low - but it will depend on the cost of the kit obviously.
As a comparison, the ASE turbo kit for the TB48 is $6800, although it is a very comprehensive kit and includes a front mount cooler.
ASE are also going to release a 1FZ kit , but it will be a bit cheaper as it will use a cast manifold.
Alternately, if you are handy, a 1FZ setup can be pieced together & fabricated for under $4k.

I'm up to $2400 all I need to make it run is the dump pipe made which the quote was $150 so 2550 all up for a intercooler low boost setup. extra $ are gauges for what eve you choooseMUD000 wrote:mick80 wrote:how much roughly would it cost to pay someone to turbo my 4.5 it has 280000 klms on itGO79 wrote:MS-75 wrote:Std head bolts are a torque to yield fastener and have a maximum clamping force dictated by the material.
ARP studs are a much stronger material and can be torqued to a significantly higher torque (not a torque to yield fastener - the specified torque is approx 75% of the fastener yield strength) - giving a greater clamping force obviously.
If you're only going to run 6-7 psi though it then you'll probably be fine however. Just remember that XR6 blower is good for 400+hp. I guarantee you'll get the bug and start winding boost into it!
Yes you can swap the bolts/studs over like that. The cams need to come out to do it, but it's not too difficult.
i dont want 20 psi or anything just a bit more pulling power

Re: has anyone ever fitted a turbo to a petrol 80 series?
Just had a bit of a look at the sprintex kit
http://www.tweakit.net/shop/product_inf ... ts_id=7652
That is dirt cheap, and sprintex are pro.
Sprintex reckon it's 8-9 hours to fit.
If you want a bit of additional go and can line up someone near you to fit it (pref a sprintex dealer) then it's a pretty good option.

Hmmm.
Unfortunately there's no manifold!
It's really just a collection of chinese crap unfortunately. (you had me excited for a moment there)
There are 2 things you absolutely cannot skimp on if doing a turbo conversion.
#1 Buy a decent turbo. Never ever buy a no-name ebay special turbo.
#2 Buy a decent wastegate - again, no ebay specials. Unless it's a Tial, Turbosmart, Garrett, JGS, HKS, Sard etc don't risk it.

Always over estimate so you have some contingency if something pops up.
Have a look on the sprintex site for a dealer near you and then ask that dealer for a quote to fit the kit if you suppy it.

hey got a quote 4 the sprintex supercharger fitted

Re: has anyone ever fitted a turbo to a petrol 80 series?
Just a word of warning:
You should put some sort of grille over that turbine inlet, as small children could get sucked into that big motherfvcker turbo!
hands and mums dont count!!!
Re: has anyone ever fitted a turbo to a petrol 80 series?
Wow - 4.5k to fit that kit is a total rip.
You don't need ceramic coating - you can use heat wrap and this - http://www.aclperformance.com.au/prod_heatshield.htm, and you certainly don't need a 3 inch exhaust system.
Even if you include 1.5k in that price for the exhaust work, $3k to fit a kit that should go on in 9-10 hours is a shameless rip.
Did you speak to a sprintex dealer?
Is there anyone else inMackay?
Is Rocky too far?
Don't give up after 1 quote - that price is rubbish.

Re: has anyone ever fitted a turbo to a petrol 80 series?
Boy oh boy - $3000 for the exhaust. That's where the workshop makes it's money.
Speak to Sprintex regarding the exhaust system - A good heat shield and some lagging on the pipes should do the trick.
If you assumed $500 for the heat shielding, that would put the price at $6k which is pretty good.

Re: has anyone ever fitted a turbo to a petrol 80 series?
Well i've just purchased a second hand Sprintex Supercharger to suit the 4.5L (about $550 including postage) i'm not sure how old it is, i should receive it early next week.
Not sure if i want to put it on my 75ute, or in our 105 wagon...Depending on how much more cash/parts i need to fit it, it could be in the next couple of months or next year.
Lockrights front and rear in ute is first thing....

Once i recieve the supercharger i'll have a good look at what i get (also talk to insurance companies) and talk to Sprintex and see what's involved.
One thing that's been confusing me is power figures from the 4.5L.
We had our 80 4.5L (full time 4wd) tuned on a chassis dyno, giving out peak of 48kW. The 80 in the mag with the supercharger fitment (link in this thread) was dyno'd at 61kW, then 89kW after installation.
Yet others on here have power figures over 100kW stock - which is more than the supercharged output?
Am i confusing flywheel to at the wheels with these?
Then turbo figures of around 250kW region - if this is at the wheels that's 500% power increase over our 80 - is that right?
Can someone please clear this up for me?
Cheers

Firstly, on a dyno where the parameters are set correctly (ramp rate, air temp location etc), a healthy 1FZ with stock size tyres tends to record approx 90-100rwkw. (flywheel kw is either 156 or 165 from memory depending if 80 or 100 series). Having the air intake temperature sensor in the wrong place (depends on dyno type), setting an incorrect ramp rate, using the incorrect mode (ie not using shootout mode on a Dyno Dynamics dynoe) or using the incorrect correction mode can all significantly affect the readout.
Once you add an LPG system with a conventional gas introduction unit that sits in the intake system (these are very restrictive), you can drop a significant amount of power (can be 20+ rwkw penalty).
Note : Gas systems will always cause power drops unless you use the new generation vapor phase injection kits as these do not add any restrictions into the inlet tract. Even better are the even newer liquid phase kits. Generally these increase power over petrol due to the cooling of the inlet charge due to change in state of the LPG as it vaporises as it's injected.
Another thing that soaks up power is tyres different to stock - either bigger diameter, bigger width, coarser tread. The heavier the wheels and tyres or the bigger the diameter, the more HP is required to accelerate them. In addition, the coarser tread, the more drag is created at the tyre/roller interface and again, the more HP is soaked up. In addition, tyre pressure changes the readings as well. The lower the tyre pressure, the more hp is soaked up, the higher, the less power is soaked up. (next time when on the rollers listen to the amount of noise coming off the tyres and also how hot the tyres and rollers get - all the energy for that noise and heat comes from the engine - hence dropping your measured rwkw number)
2wd vs 4wd can also affect power readings. In 4wd mode the engine again is accelerating a larger mass (transfer case, front diff and axles, front wheels and tyres), as well as being subjected to extra load tue to the losses at the tyre roller interface.
Add to this of course the fact that as a motor ages it gradually loses power as well - ie a 300,000 km old motor will make less power than a 30,000 km old one.
If you want to go for a number on a dyno, run in 2wd with the smallest diameter, lowest profile rubber, smoothest tread tyres you can with as much tyre pressure as you can.
In regard to the hp numbers quoted with turbo kits - prettymuch without exception all are stating a flywheel number, not a rear wheel number. This is because they are meant as a comparison to the oem vehicle manufacturers quoted flywheel number, and also because the final measured rear wheel number can vary so much due to the reasons I stated above.
Again, don't be too fussed about comparing dyno numbers across different dynos and drivetrain setups - there is a lot of variability in the measurement. The only time you can begin comparing engine HP of two cars across two dynos is when you know that the two dynos are set-up the same (ie both in shootout mode for dyno dynamics dynos), the cars have the same gear ratios (ie both cars dynoed in 4th and have the same diff ratios), they are both run in either 2wd or 4wd and both are running the same or similar rubber. (this is especially true for 4wds as rubber can vary so much - from rubber meant for mostly on-road driving, to big Mickey Thompson off-road mud digger - both will give different readings if run back to back on the same car on the same dyno)
Providing your motor is healthy, just take the dyno number as a baseline before you start making changes, and make sure that the next time it is run on the dyno that the operator uses the same parameters and you don't change the drivetrain so you can get meaningful numbers to compare.
Hope this clears things up.
