MK Patrol SWB Petrol TURBO is finally in and running

[mrnizmo]

Hi all, as a few of the members already know, i have turboed my MK shorty.

All that is left to do is the 3" Exhaust System and get it dynoed.

I will take pics in the next few days to show everyone what it all looks like and how it goes.

Cheers

Sweet!

Really looking forward to these pics, I am seriously considering supercharging my L28.

A mate did the maths for me, and the 4agze blower running at 2:1 pulley (ie, the blower is turning 2x the RPM for every engine RPM), a "factory" L28 would punch out about 180hp at the flywheel.

A good 60hp gain over standard, not stressing the supercharger, and should be very easy to plumb it in in a suck through setup, using a carby still, so no aftermarket computer management needed.

Plus the patrol's engine bay is rediculously huge, will fit it in there easy.

Not when there's a V8 sitting in there !!

My engine bay looks bigger with the V8 fitted than it ever did with the L28 there.

They are so big I reckon you could smuggle midgets across the border in an MQ engine bay

There is good money in smuggling midgets into Victoria - Kingy likes to use em for work shop slaves don't ya!

Did you use injection on the turbo set up or just a draw thru system?

I hope you put in a rising rate regulator for the fuel too or you will soon starve her under boost.

Foad - Get teh charger of a toyota crown - electrically operated hence turn it on flick of a switch! Power when you want and economy when you need it...

4agze also has the electric clutch

The other thing is, (at least from what I've read) - with a suck through carby setup, the car is still pretty economical, it's only if you plant it hard will it suck the petty through.

But that said, it's still something I will only look at doing later this year - you've seen my list

foad - if you want countless information on L Series turbo or supercharging browse some datsun forums. more info than you can dream of

[adam.s]

will do.

thanks for the tip
