[DieselBoy]

Awesome!!!!!!

It'l give the old girl a whole new lease of life!!!!!

Drag racing cars up the steep side of the Bombays on 35" Simex's is RATED

[coxsy]

i think its a bit advanced on the injector pump, a little water leak on cooland pipes and oil leak on the timing cover, will put that down to time from pulling the pump out and back in and a dark garage,

[ClassicCruiserSpares]

Awesome mate, good to hear it running after following the thread. Good effort.

[muskie]

as good as you expected, better or not quite as good as you thought it would be?

[GQTROL]

There is alot of diesel knock noise there, timing is likely to be out. Did you set it with a dial gauge?

[coxsy]

three posts up, i know the timing is not right. fitter welder not a diesel mech will take in to a shop once get teething problems sorted,
tonight bonnet back on check clearances changed intake pipe around , bolted batteries down still have oil leak to fined

[Mud Hog]

Nice work Coxsy sounds and looks cool Now time to go wheelin

[coxsy]

exhaust needs completing, timing done, wof, cert, have 4 weeks to do it as have then 4 weeks off stateside

[Mud Hog]

My tappets need tightening after turbo install. That knock is exactly what I have, Very noisey now rattles like big old truck.

[coxsy]

well can fit in a read of the manual and check tappets too

[DieselBoy]

You need more advance on the injector timing so that when it come on boost you have enough advance.

The advanced injector timing makes the diesel knock louder at cold idle and the engine sound "heavier" and knock more in general when the manifold pressure is low.

The rule of thumb is that if its noisy and heavy and you have good oil pressure then thats how it needs to be. That means you getting awesome detonation, the fuel is exploding with a huge "Crack".


If the motor silky smooth and quiet, you don't have enough advance on the timing

But do go and get the experts to set it up and make sure they advance it to Turbo spec's though, not just standard timing.

Fitting the Turbo can't affect the valve clearences. They are two unrelated parts of the motor.

[coxsy]

thanks for that pete, as of now this thread is done.
last bits to fit is done, guages boost and EGT, thanks for everones help and suggestions was a great help

[DaveM]

Great thread, and thanks for sharing. I've just bought a non turbo Safari, so will be doing the same in the next few months.
Found a manifold on ebay in Hong Kong identical to the DSR so would be interested in any updates you have on how you find the set up.


Cheers,
Dave

update took it from a run to workshop down motorway to add to exhuast, pulls like a schoolboy, more noticeable power fun drive, note put all the bolts back in timing cover, again to dark garage to blame
its a bit more fumey from exhuast when running hopefuly timing will sort this

[coxsy]

update. EGT and boost gauges working boost on motorway under aceleration up to 17 psi egt temp up to 300 at cruise, took the truck in to diesel shop to see if they could work on it today didn't book it in. the mech reved a few times popped the hood thinks a injector is playing up, so pull them tonight, he will test them for free

[coxsy]

UPDATE injectors 1 &6 raw fueling , so all six need a service,$$$$

[DaveM]

UPDATE injectors 1 &6 raw fueling , so all six need a service,$$$$

Shouldn't be too bad price wise (well, compared to a 1HDT). Down here they are $35ea to service, or $80ea if new tips needed.

[coxsy]

thanks for that, they will call in morn with a price

[coxsy]

update. new injectors in. runs better inproved the idling smoke screen, still has to much advance, that sorted next week

[coxsy]

last update, tuning done, no idle smoke, two 1/2'' exhaust done today by pitstop pm me if you need more explaining on that one happy with my DSR turbo system by me, time will tell if it works out,

Awesome, so when the first trip??

Can I add at the end of the thread that if you get a chance I reckon splice in a water temp gauge into top hose, I was getting some scary readings from the factory gauge going up long hills and sand dunes. Turns out the line on the gauge just before "H" is about 95 degrees I tried 3 viscous fan hubs so it wasn't that

FYI, the fan hub from the factory Turbo model is WAY bigger than than the N.A hub, but you need the fan to go with it. You can pick those hubs up aftermarket for not much more than the N.A hubs. That was next on my list of things to try before it sold

[coxsy]

you can, rocker cover breather still to do, little drip oil leak,and all that shit to get a wof on it
first trip maybe after our Texas vist

.Where could I find the after market viscous hubs and fans?, Have had a search but cant find them.

[DieselBoy]

I'm not sure in your area, but I have got aftermarket hubs from Parts Master before. Repco and Apco don't seem to have a listing.

More recently I have used Giant Auto Products, they specialise in water pumps and cooling system components, they rebuild water pumps and hubs in house also. They were the guys that gave me three new fan hubs to try, and then put me on to the turbo model fan hub to compare, but I never got round to getting the fan from Nissan to fit it.

Worth a phone call

Thanks for the info

Fan hubs can be split and extra silicon fluid added. Simple job, just takes longer to unbolt the fan and hub from the engine than it does to freshen it up with extra fluid.
