Turbo Upgrades for the GUIV TD42Ti

[MudRunnerTD]

I got Andy to put on a Flexi hose but Mattys one would be good if you can.

Yeah I got this pic off Matty the other day and will show it to Pirtek for the Oil Return line





And I like the make your own option for the water return like this, again from Matty.

Ok. What is the condition of the current equipment? I have never really had engine cooling issues apart from an externally blocked core but have always maintained my cooling system well. Do you still have that rubbish egr hooked up?

No I played it years ago and removed the butterfly valve from the intercooler. I will remove it completely when I take the turbo off this time.

Is it worth having the radiator tested? I will be time poor when it's apart so keen to get stuff done quickly. Will they remove a tank and rod it or something? Isn't worth throwing a flush into the radiator for a few days before I strip it out?

Also I'm assuming it's a good time to add a Provent.?

So you completely removed the EGR system? Egr cooler and the lot?

If its the original rad I probably wouldnt bother and just replace it. The plastic tends to get brittle over time. I would only use something like the flush that fleetguard have available.

I dont do catch cans but if you think so then yes.

About $100 to much

I paid a little less than that actually but hey are listed on eBay for $240 or more so figured it was a pretty good price to be honest?

@mudski I understand that the fan should not be on all the time or it will affect fuel economy and engine load. I understood it would engage at a certain temp and pull the temp down before disengaging. Not necessarily to hold the temp lower but rather pull it down faster when it engages. The water pump on the other hand should hold the temp better I'd have thought for sure. That's the plan anyway.

Do you just vent to atmosphere? At the moment it's returning into the intake.

I removed the main section and blanked off what I could. The pipe from the turbo around the back of the motor is still connected but blanked the intake end as it was to hard to remove without messing with the turbo from memory (8 years ago) I will remove the lot this time around.

You can see my Oil drain slightly in one of those pics. However I am using the larger frame turbo than you guys and it all sits further forward. I just used the drain hose that was with the UFI 18G I had prior.
