Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have a 80series with a 1hz,im wanting to put a turbo on it,what brand of turbo kit is recommended?also im want one that whistles its head off

well all turbos whistle, but some exhaust systems block out the sound. best bet is to run a straight 3 inch pipe no muffler. then you get loads of whistle and loads of noise.

as for which kit, they're all much the same. just get one with a ball bearing turbo (most turbos are) as they spin up quicker.

you could try searching this site for 1hz + turbo, but in all the years of outerlimits, i don't think it's actually been covered before...

I just fitted a DTS kit and a 3" beudesert system. Love it!!

my tow vehicle is a 80 with a 1HZ in it and i put a
DTS kit which uses a mitsubishi turbo with front mount intercooler 12psi boost and 3inch mandrel system with a tuned up diesel pump it made 176hp with 33 on it with very little smoke and no lag. Ran it up on my mates Dyno.

The best turbo waste noise comes from a Denco kit with a properly fashioned exhaust.

BJ - notquite - best noise ios from home made U bend turbo with external wategate... Whistles on/off boost and has a great sound as you change gears..

He is after the best kit...

I dont know who stocks the home-made U-bend turbos, but Ive not heard of them, have you got a link?

Mate i have a 1hz with a DTS turbo! i run a single muffler through a 2 1/2 inch pipe and have the exhaust dump straight out under the drive side door on my 75 series! I get good noise and abit of whistle. If you want more whistle go to a 3inch and take out the muffler! All the after market turbos are much the same!

I think you mean a screamer pipe.. instead of waste gate dumping into exhaust, the wastegate vents out its own little pipe at the first turn off the exhaust... kind of illegal, but if your just after sound

Nope - plumbed into the exhaust...

I too have the dts td05 turbo on my m80 series and i am having trouble with boost down low , the mitsubishi tdo5's don't give you that whistle that denco, safari, toyota ct26 do

If your exhaust lets it whistle its head off, chances are it will fart like an old pronstar also.

my factory turbo 80s still whistles loud enough for people to comment about it a fair bit

Mine has 4" mandrel bent dump pipe to the transfer, then 3"mandrel bent exhaust to the rear with 1 straight through 3" muffler. With no muffler it sounded like a school bus with a busted manifold

What turbo have you got on it. I hve a 3'straight through system but with 3'dump pipe and NO whistle

The Turbo on zoltans rig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=AU&hl=e ... f3cLRw0A5U mind you, i think its just running a 4" dia, dump pipe straight down off the turbo in that video.

My ct26 with dump pipe and about 500mm of 3" pipe exiting under the drivers seat sounded pretty awesome, mate could hear it from a few blocks away, but vibrated like hell and was very noisy. New 3" system with 1 muffler now and its reasonably quite when driven sedately but give it a boot full and it barks nicely

stock standard CT26, waste gate disabled and running up to 18- 20psi. fuel pump has been tuned to deliver more fuel

That thing sounds sweet as so how do the stock ct26 go with 15psi are they as strong as dts turbos??

Have you got any vids??

Hey fellas,

GT2876R wth .64 turbine and .70 compressor

Its a 5 stud style exhaust outlet that will only take 3" dump max so no need for a bigger one.

The Vids i have are with this much exhaust


Im finishing it past the cab and over the rail in the next few weeks.

a big U Bend - Comes down off standard exhaust manifold, then str8 back up so turbo sits on top of the exhauist manifold(almost).

handmade to suit the turbo... nice. has the external wastegate plumbed in as well!

Need pics?

Yes please, could you send pictures...

Hey there z()ltan, How does the 2876 turbo go using the .64 turbine wheel??? Does it come on boost early in rev range?? If so when??

ohh around 800rpm

Cool, When does it start to run out??

it runs out past 4000rpm

Is it the 1HZ?? any major engine mods??

nope just a New stock 1HZ

Hey Z()ltan, is that turbo from one of the major turbo sellers or just one you selected yourself. Everyone I talk to tells me the one they sell come in about 2,000rpm but most of my driving is done from 1200 - 2500 so those big ones wouldn't suit my application

Hey Zoltan,
Got some photos were you tapped the water supply to the turbo from.
Wanting to water cool mine.
Mines a garrett gt28...wistles like buggery. so loud its rather annoying on long trips.
Its a Turbo Glide setup...
