Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi, I have been contemplating putting in a 2nd had turbo in good condition, or putting a complete extractor/exhaust system in my cruiser.

Car has done round figures 357000 kms & I believe engine is still original with no work done on it. Car goes good, but I'd like a bit more ooomf out of it & a bit more fuel economy. It does on average 100kms/week & its share of decent off-roading every couple of months.

Would like any feedback/comments on which would be better to go with before I commit & go the wrong way.

Thanks.

I got extractors and a 2 1/2" system put on about a year ago now. Cost around $500. I did get a slight fuel econ. improvement, and the engine did rev alot freer. It honestly wasn't that good but. A second hand do it yourself turbo setup wouldn't cost much more the $500 and would shit on the exhaust setup. Read the bible, or flog off some PM's.

With that many k's on the old diesel i wouldn't be a bit scared putting a turbo on it unless you only want to run a few pounds through it. You'll end up with heaps of load on the bottom end and a lot of blow by.

Extractors are a safer and cooler option unless you want to freshen the motor up first.

yeah, i would agree with turbo4t.
more power and benefit with turbo. but larger chance of it dying mate.
but hell, you only live once!! throw a turbo on it!

I put extractors on my hj60 late june and it was a pretty nice difference, much better revs thru 2000-3000 rpm...

Picked up a turbo with my donor 60, it's not that much difference taking off but up hills and after 1500rpm it is much stronger for sure. love it.

Turbo all the way, I've got extractors on my 1HZ and am saving for a turbo. Extractors are an improvement but the difference of a turbo will be light and day.
