Turbo Upgrades for the GUIV TD42Ti

[MB]

Seems fine on mine John mate, 2 years fitted now. Must be near impossible to run solid all the way inside the guard and out again on my recessed version. All in all it’s not exposed to UV or engine bay heat either.
I would imagine that all snorks have to flexy or elbow join their airbox’s inside somehow so 2 joints only ever either way you go.

Good Mark, the material is standing up to it then, thanks.

Yeah, near impossible to run one piece all the way w/o lot of panel beating I would think. Most use a second solid pipe section along inside guard, but use two connector/joiners of type (5 clamps), instead of only 2 if running flexy duct from snorkel thru to air box (so bonus there). Had a good chat with Mil yesterday, recons only take a day and may fit in before end of yr.

Lot of good info here lately gents, on intake and snorkels... Forum community at its best.
This has been my #1 watched thread since Darren began his upgrade. I've got the green light to go the BorgWarner just like his, but the intake was a grey area for me so, I'm snipping all the info for when I eventually bite the bullet. Which I'm aiming for Feb 19.

For me thus far, recessed black SS with a ram head.
Air box, I have room to play with since i dont have a battery there so... I'll have a few options I hope.

Hoidge, Have a look at Radius Fab.
There LS1 panel filter has terrific flow and has good reputation. Would of gone that way but too much stuff under bonnet to move. Normally need to shift battery tray approx 20mm rearwards. If you do not intend to use that space check it out. Personnel preference, is to use sealed lead acid battery so I do not stow battery in veh cab.

@Bidja
Thanks.
That LS box looks like the go. Quick google and a read across several forums reveals that panel type is least restrictive.
My mate pointed out that , there is always LS1 radius fab units popping up on FB market. People have bought and realised they wont fit due to the battery. I'm tempted to snap one up, which will save a bit of coin and a wait directly from the fabricators. Otherwise, I'll just buy the complete combo from them and will source the ram locally.

I was leaning towards the radius SS unit. I have seen Mudskis and it means business. I already have a Safari snorkel, so the cut on the panel left after fitting the SS is minor.

Hodge, Checked out his web page the other day and he is fitting a see thru panel in lid for 200 series landcruiser airbox ($750). Get a visual of filter. Must say though it is the down stream eg: cleaner side of filter but nice touch and you would see a discoloration as dirt accumulates.

PM me the FB pages you are referring to re LS1

Hey mate they are not pages as such. Just people putting thing up for sale on FB market. And sometimes the fatz boxes come up.

I like the clear view of the filter panel.. looks neat instead of just a stainless steel lid.

Now understood, social media (FB) is pretty new to me. Thanks, search came up with "FB Market Place"...getting better..haha

With Radius Fab, have communicated thru his FB page (Richie, I think), waiting on some pics showing filter clearance (not yet arrived) so think he is pretty busy. Good sign.

Early on there was reports of the panel filter failing and getting sucked into induction pipe, pretty rare and think it is now supported much better and problem may have gone away.
Fatz Fabrication do a LS box as well but use a K&N pod filter:

Thats the way I should have gone. A bit more effort for the install but worth it IMO.

I had the kettle dynoéd at Dieseltec last week. Geez Andy is different person to deal with.... Anyhow, he spent the day trying different tunes and this is what he came up with.
Dyno tune Nov2018.jpg

He came to the conclusion that a Garret GT3071 is too big for a TD42. The turbo starts making boost later in the rev range than what should be for a TD. As this has been the way since I have had it, I don't know any different. I just drive it in the power range it delivers. Boost down low would be nice, but I cannot justify spending more just for that.
He suggested if I wanted to have lower boost to get a 2863 or Similar. Meh! I just want to get rid of it now.

But atleast now there very minimal smoke. It was a choo choo train before.....
