hello
jus doin a bit of research in regards to turbo'ing a td42 (GQ)
just woudl like to make sure that the exhuast manifold and turbo from a GU 4.2 is a direct bolt on to a gq td42?
also, are the gu 4.2 turbo's water cooled only? or water and oil cooled? where abouts does the plumping for the water/oil lines go into the block?
whats else would i need to know about doin this turbo conversion to my gq td42?
also, any other options for a turbo conversion for the td42? (without goin to the expense of a $3500 kit)
sorry for so many questions, thanx in advance for any replies.
cheers
matty

Yes the manifold is a straight bolt up. Factory turbo is both oil and water cooled. I picked up cool water feed and return from the front of engine near thoermostate. I picked up oil feed from rear of alternator and plumber oil return into sump.

Have alook at 'Berreta's thread in the members section. I sold him a GU turbo system I had sitting at home, that I was going to fit to a GQ swb but never got around to it.

so the non intercooled version is water and oil cooled
and the intercooled (later model) version is only oil cooled?

mmmm I had one and sold it. You should open your eyes.
There was a stage on here where there would have been atleast 4 sets forsale at once.
