it was an epically long project, glad this part is done.
next up: bigger turbo tdo4l from wrx, turn up the pump (bosch ve pump by zexel japan), 20psi, steel front bumper, more pics
any q's etc welcome. 8)

I like this. ;D
Are you posting any ripper vids or off road vids when you get the bigger turbo on that?
-
Looks like there is lots of room for twins. Do you know what the plunger size is in the VE?
-
That mani looks super restrictive. I like :yes:

stealth sleeper black FTW

i havent even touched the pump yet. my plan is to crank the boost in the stock 38/52mm turbo to a bit less than choke point, and a bit more mid range and top end fuel.
boost currently 15psi, drive 21 psi max
yes, there is heaps of room in there, if i do twins it could be garrett t04 over 42/52mm mitsu td04l. perhaps. any suggestions.
also looking at a he341ve as a single but worried about comp surge....
cheers
-
Sounds like you are already at the max for the stock turbo. I would be wiling to be with any more boost just comes a ton more drive, and you aren't far off of 1:2 already.
If you are going to do twins with the td04l, I would look at the HE351 60mm, or an HX-40, as the HE351cw might be a touch restrictive on the exhaust side as a primary. HE351VE would work, but you would have to either get the vanes to work (something like aero did) or just set them at a fixed position.
I wonder if you pump has gov springs like a vw, or like a cummins. Either way that would be one of the first things I would do, is mod the gov for more rpm, add some fuel, bump the timing an 1/8" or so, and evaluate from there.

thanks dvst8r.
time for a street tune today, more fuel should help. ill read up about the timing advance.
im not keen to turn more rpms, it happily revs to over 4k stock, just zero tq above 3400 - drive pressure climbs fast. 4400 rev limit stock.
would a hx35 with 14cm hsg work well for a primary? might have access to one...
:noel:
-
at what rpm does it start to defuel?
-
Great to see anything out of the norm on here. Wish the US got small diesel pickups
-
Do you know what the plunger size is in the VE?
at what rpm does it start to defuel?
4 cyl
11mm plunger, and as per pump serial number, "governer controlled rpm number" is 1900rpm. i do not know what this means.
has mechanical governer
pump s/n: NP-VE 4/11F1900LNP1685
any clues about the governer number?
-
HX-35 14cm if it is cheap will work just fine, you can always do a 60mm compressor wheel upgrade if it is limiting you.
1900rpm is pump speed so x 2 for motor speed 3800rpm is where is should start to defuel. I would mod the gov springs so you can at least pull full fuel to 5K. Heck I run stock cummins to 4K, and stock vw td's to 6K.
Adjusting the timing should be nothing more then loosening the front 3 bolts, and then one rear bolt, and pushing it the whole pump towards the head. Might need a ratchet strap, as some times they are sticky.
Back the high rpm screw right out and throw it away, and as you add fuel pull the low rpm screw out to bring the idle back down. Adjust the throttle cable and linkage for full travel.
Pop the top off the ip 4 flat head screws, and index the pin for max depth, shave the nylon washer so that it travels all the way to the deepest point. When you get it apart you will see what I mean, as there will be a rub mark on the pin, use that as a guide for which way to turn it. **Should be so that max depth is towards the Rad** but I have never worked on that particular setup so it may vary.
Dave (Passenger) has made 200whp on a 9mm 4cyl pump. With the 11mm pump maxed out you should be close to 400hp worth of fuel. Stock 12mm VE's on 1st gen cummins will move nearly 500hp of fuel maxed out
If it doesn't already have one, add a lift pump now, set it so the pump sees 15psi or so. This is very important.
If you really want to make some power, I would look at an HY35 with an external gate over something in the 64mm range. The TD04l over an HX-35-14 should be good for 300hp at reasonable egt's and 350hp+ if you ignore the egt gauge. Or you could aways spray it at that point. O0

in reality i will only ever rev it to 3700ish anyway, and prob not regularly.
i saw a youtube video and a tech writeup, timing bump, turning fuel cone pin, and star wheel look easy to change.
diagram was useful

i'll remove the high rpm throttle stop pronto.
can i use an inline efi fuel pump with external reg for a lift pump? seems easy to make.....
junkyard bosch 044 here i come. O0

Yup, an efi fuel pump with an external reg works great.

tire jack stands ftw

thats damn right, i even have 4x4 wheels for extra height when needed !! :mexi:

thanks.
if a lift pump not added and the inj pump turned right up, what are some bad things that may happen? damage to ip's internal vane pump?
-
Outright IP fail, it can damage the camplate, and seize the pump.

love the jack stands. they won't ever fail or creel out from under you

I'm all about diesel, and man i wish we had more small diesel engines around here. Only thing i can get my hands on thats worth a shit is the 4bt/6bt/isb cummins..
-
i've fooled around with several roosamaster db2 injection pumps, and have never seen one sieze up. however, it isn't ouside the realm of possibility, i would just say highly unlikely.
the 6.5l canister style lift pumps can be had new for $80ish or you can go to advance and buy the little green (mr. gasket i think) ones for 50. should be enough for what you are doing, but if it doesn't have a lift pump, then you are asking for trouble later on. think of how much stress you take off the IP when you have at least a small pressure from the lift pump on the intake side of the IP. as far as a return, i don't know much about your the isuzu return system, but if there is one after the IP then you shouldn't need a regulator

worthless 4bt? how many are around you and how much are these worthless setups selling for? i know people that would give good money for a running 4bt swap
-
um, i speak english, and i said WORTH A SHIT. you can find them all over for 500-800 dollars. I currently have 1
got mine out of a fritto's lays panel truck. easy to find but no one ever posts them up for sale.
725lbs tho so heavy.

jsut about anything is fixable. one of my buddies wants one badstyle for his jeep trail rig. we make biodiesel together in his basement and he has a benz and a 7.3 idi he runs off of grease. i've looked on craigslist for over a year and never found a fritto's lays truck around this area, even for sale

How often have you asked them to deliver double or more the fuel that they did stock? I have personally burned through 2 VW bosch VE's and 1 cummins bosch VE. They use the excess fuel for cooling and lubricating the ip, and have been witness to several others. My stock vw tdi doesn't come with a lift pump, but I put one on anyway, it is cheap insurance, and it made extra power as the timing piston didn't have to wait for the case pressure to build with rpm's.
Speaking of the timing piston, there is another mod if you get to the point of really wanting to take the pump to the max.
I kinda doubt given that he is from Australia, or somewhere on the opposite side of the world, that he can just run over to advanced.
I prefer having a decent fuel supply, and regulating it down, vs having a soft fuel supply and worry about a bad tank of diesel, leaving water in my filter, and now instead of having 5psi I have 2psi, and vacuum at WOT.

good advice, thanks.
i dont understand the red bit...?
as far as a return, i don't know much about your the isuzu return system, but if there is one after the IP then you shouldn't need a regulator
ill go have a look right now. :)

shit looks fun, but we are gonna need some vids ...stat

vids shall come once setup and tuning is done :D
dvst8r: how is that "fuck a wg" twins setup for the 6bt going? -sexy whitey bends :noel:
update, went for a 35km drive down the freeway. level road, unloaded, no wind, 12*c.
at 100kph motor turns 2750rpm, 15psi boost, 21ish psi drive. when i nailed the throttle (5th gear) boost started creeping a few psi, drive pressure rose FAST.
silly little turbo. :-X
egts never go above 450ish*c unloaded, with stock fuelling and timing.
any opinion on a he351ve vgt?
im afraid of comp surge..... only a 2.8l motor
i can control the vains easily, and id not run a wg, exhaust hsg should be big enough, vain position and topend fuelling would control the boost i think.
ideas??
:)

Sorry let me clarify. So instead of having 5psi at idle, you now have 2psi from the clogged filter, and instead of having positive pressure at WOT you now have vacuum. VS a higher pressure pump capable of a lot more pressure and volume with an external regulator. Where at idle you have 15psi, WOT you have 15psi, partially clogged filter 15psi ect...

The twins are on hold I stole the primary, to use as a secondary on another set (up coming thread, probably in June or so) Probably will have another twin setup done in between those two as well. Lots on the go these days.
Yup, sounds like the tiny turbo is too tiny.
I think the HE351VE would be a little much as a single, it would probably just light, and you would be out of rev's, or have like a 1000rpm power band. As a primary with that td04l secondary it should work well.

makes sense. ill do it next couple of weeks.
update today, removed gas pedal stop screw and high rpm limit screw from ip. turned the fuel pin 1/8th of a turn toward the skinny bit, cranked down starwheel 1 turn. had to turn the idle down alot. still no smoke, but pulls noticably harder in the midrange :)
tomorrow more fuel pin and star wheel :evil:
a 20 second long wot pull in top gear gave egts of about 600ish *c, had the mbc screwed all the way shut, boost was spiking off the gauge (25psi+++) then tapering to about 12ish psi. spring in mbc is a bit weak me thinks. off to shops in morning for a heavy mofo spring O0
unluckily, it seems advancing the pump timing will be difficult. the ip is mounted 2 bolts to timing case and 2 bolts solidly to the engine mount. effectively making it bolted in square, so you cant just rock it over toward the head.
i may try shimming the bottom bolts and ovalling the holes out with round file etc...
shit job, oh well.
thanks for the feedback nignogs.
-
There is a guy on 1stgen.org that has built a timing spacer for the ve's you might look into that. Not sure if it will clear your mount isssue though.

Outright IP fail, it can damage the camplate, and seize the pump.
Camplate damage comes from contamination and high rpm float, lack of positive pressure before the vane side of the pump for power ratings over stock can cause excessive vane wear as well as adding to input shaft seal wear which can cause it to suck in air and cause the same problem.
Don't ask me how I know :P

LOL, speaking of that Andy blew up that 14mm head in short order, but I guess it pushed some massive fuel when it was alive, he saw over 100psi of boost, and only about 110psi drive from what I recall. He has since gone to an 8cyl inline IP, twin feed styles, ala truck puller.

Really? Damn I haven't talked to Andy in a while, I was wondering how that 14mm head I sent him would work. Does he post anywhere anymore? I'll have to give him a call.
-
I haven't seen him post in quite sometime, but we do pm from time to time on tdiclub, in fact it is the only reason I go there, just to check to see if he has pm'd.

had big dramas with the gauge jumping and buzzing, caused by pulsing pressure signal.

RHMT style solution found: pulse damper
2" pvc pipe and caps, 1/8th bsp to 1/4 hose barb fittings, packed tight with stainless steel wool (aka kitchen scouring pads), plumber's silicone sealer, my favourite flat black paint. it works very well, gauge needle only mooves smoothly, no pulsing :)

i went out street tuning this arvo with my brother and blew a charge pipe coupler in half! the reason was i put a real heavy spring in homemade mbc and cranked it to the O0 setting, which spiked to 25+ psi and pipe went bang. it is the elbow off the comp housing, not boost rated, was the stock turbo inlet elbow lol.
new pipe to be made in the morning, ill make it tough!
cranked the star wheel down all the way, and another 1/4 turn of the fuel pin, 1 of 2 nylon fuel pin limit washers removed, throttle cable tightened. far far better throttle response now but still no smoke.
gay tiny turbo is still being a hotrex.
also this ute came with suuper heavy rear leaf springs. stock they have 4 leafs (1 ton payload) this one had 10 leafs, good for 2.5 ton ++++. rides terribly rough and bouncy in the back, and zero traction because it lifts the inside wheel in corners.
so........
little brother and i ripped spring packs out and made up new combinations of leaves. stock top 3 leafs (curved and thin), then only one bottom load leaf (flat and very thick) with new centre bolts too.
rides like a dream, for a truck.
arse end sits down on the load leaf with the trailer on and is quite saggy but excellent traction.
more tomorrow.

my tray is strong but super heavy which really keeps the weight on the back end to get traction lol. its made from 3x3" box steel and 2" angle irons underneath. fits 7 mountain bikes standing up, side by side. useful!
egt probe is in the ex mani directly under the drive pressure bung, pointing straight up. it hides behind the turbo oil drain line. ebay cdm special $60 :D
interior plus egt and boost gauges etc

thanks yuri!
update:
it seems i took out too many springs :-X and the arse end sits really low now, in a couple of days and some 50kms it settled down quite a bit.
easy to fix, ill put back in the thickest spring i removed, which is from the middle of the spring pack and is quite curved.
another few hours work but at least then it will sit level.

Two mufflers seems way overkill, I wonder what the spool up difference and egt difference is open downpipe to dual muffler exhaust?
I like the look, since your pulling your leaves apart again, I would look for some graphite paint, it lets the leaves move easier on top of each other, and makes for a better ride.

they are both fibreglass packed straight through type mufflers, like big resonators, 2.5" all the way.
the lining is perforated steel pipe, no baffles or restriction there .......
i severely hate loud droning exhausts and cop attention, so love 2 mufflers.
i drove it open dp and i wanted to commit suicide with the noise :-X

LOL, I am a little more redneck, I love the 90 right off the turbo, and through the hood. Just a pair of 3/8"s bolts welded in a cross to keep turbo parts from flying all over. O0

Thats the way I swap engines too. haha

drove it yesterday, and blew a hole in a charge pipe coupler, double angle elbow right off the compressor

just finished a 2" tray lift. bits of 50 x 50 x 3mm shs with m12 x 75mm grade 8 bolts straight through. now my suspension can fully compress on each side with out the tire hitting the tray :-X)
did the front upper ball joint flip which is popular in this model. 20ish mm more down travel for nothing (limited by shock and brake line length)
got most of my pos camber back after cranking up the torsion bars up in the front about 35mm... doesnt scrub tires so im happy.
added rear recovery point. (ignore the shackle)
a bit of 10mm plate with a 19mm hole for a lifting chain connector to go through, 10mm grade 80 connector. 2 x m10 grade 8 bolts with nyloc nuts and washers to hold it on. def wont break :noel:
homemade extended shackles.
1.5" lift in the rear with benefit of better drive shaft angle too. 12 x 50mm plate with 2 x m18 x 130mm grade 8 bolts with spring washers. also wont break.
also got really bogged at the snow, bottomed out on the bashplate and diff >:( took 1/2 hour to dig out by myself haha.
after digging pic :D

haha yeah so have i.
it was shitty snow, hard and crusty on top, but when you break through it is 400mm deep slimey slush crap
i was driving along at 40kph in 4x4 then it sank down and just started digging itself in deeper, i jumped on the skinny pedal hard making it worse.
