hey guys,
after some advice..
im not quite sure if im gonna do it or not, but being as tight as i am..
i might sit on the fence a bit more and see what the money market has to offer.
the old TD42, she needs a turbo.. well she doesnt need it, i want her to hav it :ahah:
im looking at the following;
TD42 external waste gate kit from DSR Turbo in NZ..
DSRTURBO NZ TURBOCHARGER
and,
type 16 water to air intercooler from frozen boost in the US..
Water to Air Intercooler
now, as im not really mechanically minded..
what am i missing that i need to be able to have a complete install?
i know im gonna need an exaust, i can get one made up for for about $300.
the turbo exaust outlet is 2", should i step that up to a 2 1/2 or go 3"?
do i need a dump pipe? what is a dump pipe?
is it safe to use silicone bends with 2.5" SS tubing?
i can pick up SS tubing off cuts for next to nothing, and ill just buy some high quality bends and SS clamps.
now, im not gonna install it, im gonna hav my mechanic sort it for me..
he's about a 15 minute drive from MTQ in Adelaide, im gonna get MTQ to tune it and dyno it.
now, i dont know much history on my truck..
but ive been told, its always been serviced every 5 thousand kms,
and around 4 years ago it had the injectors reconditioned and new glow plugs.
the donk has about 345kms on the clock, but the motor's very clean and dry..,
the IP is a little damp near the bottom O ring seal, but all else is dry..
im not gonna compression test it, as i dont wanna know the answer it may have..
what am i missing?
do i need to do anything else?
any more parts etc?
i realise i may have asked some silly questions,
and i know ill get some silly answers in reply..
but it will all be taken on board.
im hoping i can have it all done, drive away for about $2500, does this seem reasonable?
thanks, OSH.
