Well - I'm now going to be doing a turbodiesel project! The engine is a 4.3L diesel engine, with Stanadyne system. See this page for the car and its pictures:...
Should be pretty easy to sort ? I have been running a 3l toyota motor with to3 sized turbo off an Alice Chalmers tractor The calculations are easy to source...
Thanks! It should have some torque for sure! The injector pump on this engine can have an optional (external) fuel ratio control, I guess that is what you...
Too bad I didn't know you were coming through Iowa to pick it up, you were about 10 miles from me if you took I-80 across the state. What is your plan for...
For controlling the VGT I will have to build some sort of controller box. That shouldn't be too difficult. Would probably use a simple PIC-based programmable...
You need some edumincation about used cooking oil , I filter at 2 micron and then do the methanol thing resulting in perfect biofuel , a couple of times being...
Yes it is worth a look. I have to tell our customers it is "not allowed" in their engines at work. I have to be careful with what I say about it. My ...
My neighbor's daughter has a 95 Saturn 4 door that we've diagnosed as having a bad fuel pump. He bought the fuel pump and asked me how much I want to put it...
Just to ease your mind google Queensland Australia biofuel , you can buy it from normal service ststions proving the oil companies lie about how much better...
The trunk lid is rusted out, and I have another good one already, from my 84 Olympia car. I got one that is non-rusted, but has a dent; and one that was ...
You must be thinking about the governor flex-ring in the Stanadyne Roosamaster pump. That can cause some problems in the older 5.7L engines. I read that it...

Thanks for all the effort keeping this going! It's much appreciated. I know how bad the spammers are, my third grade neice gets Viagra ads all the time. ...
Guys - I have located an internal-gate water cooled Garrett T3 unit with the following sizes. Wonder what kind of HP this would support? I've recently aquired...
That turbo is the same specs as from a Ford SVO/Turbocoupe/XR4Ti. It is generally considered to be good to about 300hp in those applications, that's pushing...
Sounds like a turbo out of an automatic Turbo Coupe. That was a 2.3 litre motor, not sure of the RPM but having it in a 3.8 litre motor seems a bit much to...
Jimmie; thanks for the insight. The 3.8 engine I have here redlines at 5000 RPM with a stock rating of 150 HP. Any ideas what the Automatic Turbo Coupe had...
Gonna be a LOT on the small size......that turbo is only going to support ~150-170hp reliably.....probably came off of a 2.3 Ford, Volvo, or something of...
Lol! That engine has 150 HP factory stock with full granny-silencer airbox and muffler!!! I do have another turbo - will have to look at it and see if it is...
David, to know just how much the turbo can support, look at the compressor maps and choose a cfi volume below the maximum flow rate with that A/R. Then, you'll...
I've been using a NAPA auto darkening helmet for a few years but its time for a new one. So now I'm in the market for a new one. Is there any preferred...
