Some td42 pics

[Ben-e-boy]

Here is some pics of my fresh motor. It was supposed to go in this weekend but I have been working interstate and just got back. It's fully balaced, the rotating assembly is balanced to 0.01g and the pistons and rods etc are individually balanced to 0.0002g. It has ceramic coated genuine UD pistons and turbo oil pump.

61456

Sticking with the garrett for now. I want to see what the engine mods can do for it.
61457

The flywheel has been lightened in an effort to move the deadly harmonics that contribute to crank failure out of the useable rev range.

61458

The exhaust manifold, turbine housing, v-band flange are ceramic coated. The manifold, turbine housing and wastegate port have been ported

61459

61460

The head has oversize valves with a 4 angle grind, ceramic coated pre combustion chambers inside and out, the face of the valves and combustion face is ceramic coated as well as the entire exhaust valve and exhaust runner and the intake runners have been cleaned up and polished

Wow just a little bit of work into it Ben. Lol.
Im assuming your hunting for the magic 200plus figures?

[nissannewby]

Awesome!!!!

Cant wait to go for a spin in this thing.

[Ben-e-boy]

Dunno, the end power figure is going to determined by how much torque it produces, so it may very well stay at 180ish rwkw like is was before.

Once the clutch wears out and I get a fully hectic one. I will really screw some fat into it for a brag run

[blocko05]

well done mate. looking forward to seeing what you think of it.

[jff45]

Very nice, Ben!

[Bloodyaussie]

You live in the wrong state Benny

[Winnie]

Can't wait to see this!!

[Ben-e-boy]

Can't wait to see this!!

Maybe next year, between the fire season and snow season

[AB]

Well done Benny, are you considering the Borg Warner now or stick with the garret?

Edit: Just read your post again...lol....no worries!

[threedogs]

Lightening the fly wheel will give you more HP than Torque wouldnt it?

seems a shame to get it dirty, well done on the balance great tolerances
well thought out modifications too

[nissannewby]

Flywheels dont make horsepower or torque the engine does.

[Ben-e-boy]

Cleand up the starter motor, looks flashy now

Has it turned the motor yet?

[Ben-e-boy]

Nah, Jed's busy today cant make it until tomorrow, just need to put the starter in, fill up the fluids and hit the go button

[AB]

Put a lot of effort in Benny!!!

[Ben-e-boy]

I have never been in a td with that much work. I dont even know what to expect

[AB]

What Airbox is that?

Next year about April-ish.

[Winnie]

I will be counting down until then... Lol

[jff45]

Put up a video of it running, Ben.. I'd love to hear it!

[Ben-e-boy]

A bit rattly still, I need to adjust the tappets, but it is smooth and very responsive

[Winnie]

That is awesome Benny! You must be stoked. Sounds very smooth and crazy responsive

[Ben-e-boy]

Yeah I part filled a 1L coolant bottle and rested it on the rocker cover and revved it and it just sat there.
Pretty farkin stoked

[Winnie]

So you should be with all the work that has been done to it. Good on you!
Do you know of many other TDs that have had this sort of work put into them?

[Ben-e-boy]

Yeah there are heaps that are balanced, oversize valves etc coated piston, not heaps with the ceramic on the head, but I got the idea from one of nissannewby's mates, nothing I have done is new and innovative.

[Ben-e-boy]

I drove it today.. It definatly has potential. Its very different to what it used to be

[Winnie]

Wow that was quick to get it driving! Can't wait to see what you think of it now.

[Ben-e-boy]

It's different, I have really only done 20 odd km, but it is very different,

[taslucas]

Awesome job Ben, great to see it back on the road.
Can't wait for the most important part..... The 80-120km/hr time! Lol.

tappin from tassie

[nissannewby]

Went for a drive in this today. Very very smooth. It really is effortless to drive.

[Bloodyaussie]

It's different, I have really only done 20 odd km, but it is very different,

So see you in 2 weeks for some awesome high country driving that will really put it too the test....lol

[Ben-e-boy]

Nah love to, but I cant. Too early for a big trip, yet, it still has less than 200km on it

Didn't stop mudski from driving up to qld... your soft ben... ha ha ha.

[Ben-e-boy]

No it didnt stop him, but it didnt stop the teething issues either.

[Dhuck]

Wow Ben. I was very impressed at the Neerum Creek meet up let alone the day I had a drive several years ago so you could have a listen to the truck out at Beerburrum. You need something else to spend your money on dude. Age is creeping up lol.

Haha, that was a long time ago, had 120rwhp then lol

[Dirtydog16]

Can anyone tell me what that type of work costs?

In a nutshell. Lots. I don't think Ben could probably put a figure on it. He might though. A lot of the work done, Ben has done himself plus, I think the cost of the experienced people doing the work would be priceless.

[Dirtydog16]

Cheers. I was just wondering what it would cost those people without the skills, experience or friends to get this type of setup as well.

Yeah mate. Fecking lots. To do what ben has done takes time and skill. Which costs a bomb. FWIW. I did a total engine rebuilt on a TD42t, new pump, turbo, intercooler, new head, mild head work, everything to convert a ZD to a TD. And not even close to what Ben has done and it was around 20k. give or take. I dare say Ben spent less, but he knows what he's doing, and has friends around him who also know, so this all helps. Doing something to the level at what Ben has done, its not just what you know, its who you know.

Cheers mudski,

Much appreciated!

It certainly is something to dream about.

Ben-e-boy . Some progress after Bens rebuild failed. Another TD is getting ready to go in. Have done some lightening to his flywheel. Lightest one I have done to date. Got it down to 11.9kg.752997530075301

[Winnie]

What do they weigh standard?

Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

[nissannewby]

TD42T flywheels are about 15kg.

[MudRunnerTD]

Bring it Bene!!!!

[Ben-e-boy]

Nice.

Great news Benny, what TD did you get, what are you planning on doing?

Internals or just bolting on stuff?

BW turbo or?

Got an import T motor. Mat's old turbo. No new internals , my good cylinder head. I'm not going through the rebuild process again as I have no trust in others to do it right and this time it will Actually be my fault if it fails. Just boost till it blows.

Yep fair call mate. Which old turbo of Matts, the larger BW?

[Ben-e-boy]

Yep. After seeing what it did on a stock motor v the 18g, knowing it'll be better than the Garrett, knowing what I achieved with the Garrett (seat of pants feel as it failed before I found out on paper) which IMO I credit to the cylinder head for a bit of that improvement.
I think it'll suit what I like

[AB]

Yeah sweet I remember Matty saying it was awesome back before we tried the 6758 but mentioned slight lag but crazy when spooling so very keen to see what you boys do with it mate!!!
