Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey all, just thought i would throw up another thread on turbos, been through the search, read every thing i can, thought i would get some more ideas and opinions

Building a td42, specs so far are, custom pump, 12mm head and rotor and a few other tweaks, custom inlet plenum,undecided on intercooler as yet, maybe a laminova, mild ported head (cleaned up a bit more than ported) custom turbo manifold,coolant rail in the head, thinking about one of joel from pgs4x4 camshaft and spring pakages, hpc coated pistons, and of course a turbo,

Looking to run around the 30 psi mark, not to fussed if its a touch laggy as im running a custom auto so i have a bit of flare in the stall to help boost it up if need be, just want it to hit hard when the fuel lights it up and keep it that way till i back off!!

would like around the 170-180 rwkw mark through the auto

Just looking to get the turbo right the first time, what sizes are most guys running, i know there are a lot of custom turbos out there just after a ball park

cheers sean

if lag is not too much of an issue and you want it to hit hard, check out the GT3071R with the 0.64AR. not for crawling but awesome on the open road.

good luck

hey mate when you say you have a custom pump, what exactly is it, and how much,? im after one at moment, little bigger than standard

i run a turbonetics turbo probably simimiliar to a garrett 3540 but with a smaller rear housing i get 30psi by 2600rpm in 4th gear. have heard of some really good result from 3071's 20psi by 1800rpm. heres a pic of mine
