sorry guys if this is a stupid question, did any of the gq series come out with a turbo engine i was told they didnt today? if they did wot was the difference from the n/a engine, i was looking for one to put in my GQ ute?
They did. But only in the RD28 which was a inline 6 cylinder 2.8L turbo diesel. If you are looking for an engine for your ute a 4.2 would be the go. A factory turbo one would be best but turboing a na motor will also give good results and has been done a million times.
Very easy to put the turbo on afterwards mate and there is a DIY thread about it on here. If you go down that path then let us know as It's an easy job.
i have an n/a td42 im in the middel of changing the head gasket, i was planning on selling that to buy a factory 4.2 turbo eng do u think fitting a turbo to this n/a engine will be a cheaper option?
thanks boys just saw the DIY turbo thread that thing looks sweet i think thats the way to go for sure! got to be cheaper than buyin a factory turbo engine
Just an idea how I did mine. This is how I mod my exhaust manifold for a top mount turbo on a n/a, silver top TD42. Its a poor man set up and the flow were not as good as the after market manifold but it works fine and I managed to get 22psi (peak) boost out of it with only little adds on..12mm plunger to the fuel pump and a front mount i/cooler.
