Outer Limits 4x4 Board

id keep an ear and an eye out for that turbo of yours, never knoe what its sucked in while its been disconnected.

I dug this up,,,

LOL !!!!!

Rather than starting a new thread or searching I have been diligently reading through all the OLD threads looking for links relating to turbocharging.

I have just bought a turbo glide kit for my shorty and am looking eagerly for advice/pointers anything with regards to fitting, performance..etc Mine blows a bit of soot at the moment so was thinking of injectors as well I figured this thread would help me.

I get to the last page of this thread which so far has fantastic tech/phone numbers and find out it is cause of his intercooler pipe.... hahahahah. Stuff like that happens to me all the time...

I like reading old threads it shows you how much you have grown...man that sounds lame. It is like getting in a time machine.. whoa what was I thinking then...

grave digger

just a quick note on this one ...

i had the injectors done .. and the pump "rebuilt" electric fuel pump
and the turbo hiflowed... was definately good for a giggle

bored of that now tho :| still thinking of selling the ute

have had the injectors done up to suit and the pump has just been tuned up but there are still a few more things that can be done to get more out of these babies.

what diff ratio has that got and what tyre size? do you know what your pump timing is set to and what is the difference between injectors set for turbo and naturally asperated? i've fitted a safari turbo to my gq with 4.11's and 33's and its only got 88kw.

what sort of pressure is the electric fuel pump putting to the injector pump and where is it mounted??? do you know what sort of power you are getting??

fuel pump is about 6-7psi
mounted on the battery tray near the injector pump
enough power to smoke 35z in 2nd

can't be that hard to clean injectors .... pull them apart and soak them in cleaning solvent ..... so I dunno why they would cost $80 each

AG Diesel completely rebuilt each of my injectors for $80 each. New springs, nozzles etc. Clean is much less.

Of course, that was with me delivering the injectors to them. They are a bit of a pain to get out. Watch out for the spill tube when removing the injectors. That is the tube with all the donuts on it that connects all of the injectors together. It is very easy to break, particularly if the retaining nuts have been overtorqued at some point.
