2002 GU TD 42 Turbo advice!

[PMC]

Have just had United Fuel Injection in Perth fit a 3'' mandrel bent exhaust Hi Flow the turbo and fit reconditioned injectors on my 2001 4.2TD (no intercooler) and set up on the dyno.
Result was increase from 71kw (96hp) at rear wheels to 114kw (155hp) and increase from 294Nm of torque to 355Nm.
The torque curve has also flattened out considerably.
Apparently the gauze filter on the top of the IP was partly blocked so that would have contributed.
Did a seat of the pants test on a fairly steep hill nearby, pre mods standing start topped hill at 90km Hr post mods 110km Hr.
Fairly pricy exercise and yet to tow our caravan which will be the ultimate test but pretty happy at this stage.
No noticeable change in engine temp.
One problem was that the turbo drain pipe no longer lined up properly with the sump inlet pipe with the result that the connecting hose is barely long enough to fit over the belled ends, potential for hose to slip and drop engine oil.
Just needed longer oil hose to fix.
Problem with that is hose is 22mm or 7/8'' ID and that is hard to find and very expensive when you do at about $70 per foot (neoprene).
Hope that helps.

G'day Briandon!

Questions: 1. What type of Turbo are you using?

2. What was the total cost of the exercise?

I would stick with the stage one. The limiting factor with compressor side mods is the stupid factory elbow which feeds your induction side of the turbo. Your dollars will be better spent upgrading the turbo than modifying the original.

I looked at the option of a full cartridge swap out on my ht18 so it was a ball bearing and what they call a disco potato. The figures they could give me weren't any better than what I was gettin. I have a full 16psi by 2000 rpm. I wanted plenty of info which I couldn't get before forking out the money.

G'day nissannewby,

More great info yet again mate!

Question: If possible mate, what was the cost of your TDO5 Turbo install?

The reason i ask is two fold, firstly, that one operator ie MTQ Toowoomba QLD as advised that for $2810 inc gst drive in and drive out. They can fit there Stage 2 kit ( which Involves the induction and exhaust side of the turbocharger, a redesigned Compressor Wheel and Turbine Wheel, complete with high flow dump pipe and 3inch high flow constant radius exhaust system, dyno tune. Testing has proven power levels of up to 42% Increase over Factory standard engine.) Secondly, to help measure other operators set-up options and costs to help the average punter out there in deciding which is the best set-up for their respected budget!

I would like to use this thread to be able to share with the forum members, the latest info out there on the various range of set-up options. Including costs, to help our members with their research when it comes to power-up options for there 4.2 diesel engines!

PS, KEEP THE INFO COMING PLEASE!

G'day RLI
Exhaust and turbo mods were $2850, injectors $700, also had compression test before any work commenced at $130.
My understanding is that the pressure side of the turbo remains stock with a new body fitted to the exhaust side with some housing mods to the original body, If you require any more detail you could contact Matt Craig at United, www.united fuel.com.au or phone 08 92593033.
Hope that helps.

Yeah mate just call anytime after 7pm qld time. I have done some reading on these kinugawa turbos there is a bloke on here who has used a 20g version on his gq but haven't heard an update on it since he fitted it. Look forward to your call mate

G'day Trendsetters,

Due to the shit weather, i have been researching turbo info. I received the following e-mail below regarding the Kinugawa turbo.

Hi Paul.

We do a range of Kinugawa turbos suitable for the TD42 Patrol motor. Basically there are 2 exhaust housings (6cm and 8cm) and then 3 compressor wheel options (16G, 18G and 20G). They all use the same TD05 turbine wheel.

Exhaust housing relates mostly to spool time. The smaller 6cm housings are a quick spool, so if low down torque is more important to you, that would be my suggestion. Then it’s a matter of selecting the comp wheel. The 16G will be the mildest upgrade, the 20G the most extreme. Once again the larger 20G wheel will take a little longer to come on boost than the smaller 18G which will take slightly longer than the 16G. A good place to start would be the 6cm housing with 18G comp wheel in my opinion, so this item here: http://www.drivenperformance.co.nz/s...idproduct=2133

We can provide this unit shipped to your door for $1199 NZD.

Kind regards,

AL Nicholls
