The navara terrano morph

[Dirtydog]

looks like franken stein

hopefully you can resurrect it?

[wax]

Thats not going back together. Its all over for the terrano

[Dirtydog]

i mean the engine , be cool to see it back in use.

[wax]

Oh that ones knackered. Its getting the qd32 in it now. Must have the big power this time

[Dirtydog]

well thats a no brainer lol, i think when mine becomes knackerd ill put a qd32 in its place, or maybe a vh41, well see.

[wax]

Would love to see the vh41 in there.
Sad to see the terrano all chopped up but I love my navara

[Dirtydog]

if i didnt allready have a terrano i would have a navara.

would swap mine for one but not after the sas.

[wax]

Well decided that if I was going to fit the qd32 that I wanted to run the vnt turbo correctly so im working on an arduino controller now.
Looks like its going to work at this stage. Should make great boost down low and even an engine brake if I sort it out right

Very interesting, what are you going to control with the Arduino? Can you code?

[wax]

No I dont need to I have the code already. Well I can a little but its already out there. I am going to control a vacuum solenoid and pulse it

[lax2wlg]

even an engine brake if I sort it out right

Like a Jake Brake?! ie compression release? Holy sh*tsticles are you going to put stacks on it too?!

Awesome as usual

[wax]

LOl similar sort of thing. Just close the turbo up and it will choke it up. I have done it on the td27 by winding in the vanes it will not go over 1500 rpm. that's on a 2,7 on a 3,2 it would be alot lower

Where's the "like" button?
Keep us posted. Been trying to work out a way of controlling a vnt turbo cheaply and easily.

Cheers,

Now that would look farken cool.

And im quite interested to see how the controller turns out to, love learning new stuff.

VGT control. Just googled it. Cool idea, keen to see how it works!

[wax]

Please understand this is not my own design and anyone can get to it.
Im just putting it on my truck

[hamboy]

Love this idea, will be wicked to drive with the exhaust brake. Would be even better if they made jakes to fit to these moters

[wax]

Well just ordered all my new door rubbers for the truck as they will be finished soon. Im looking forward to having the terrano style doors on it.
Manual windows still but its ok.

[wax]

Well not much has been happening on this side of the ditch. Working on my qd32 ready to go in.
This is the pump thats going on the engine. Its running a qd32 11mm pump head on a td27 pump. Im trying to get hold of a 2500 spring from an rd28 to give it a 5000 rpm rev limit.
The stock terrano spring is a 4100rpm but starts to pull fuel at about 3800rpm. If you drive your terrano you will feel the srop in power at about 3800 at least now that I have told you about it you will.

I am working on a custom boost compenator pin but will wait until its in the truck and so I can actually road test it and see how its effecting the engine.

It would be awesome to get the adjustable lid for the boost compensator but if I cant I will make one. Its not that hard

[wax]

Started on my rock sliders, Ok so not much to look at now but will be cool when finished. I would like to get them chromed when finished but we will see

[Dirtydog]

cool stuff, cant wait to see more.

Might have found myself an old 89 navara so gunna see how it goes before i start planning too much.

any advice for how to make it not so gutless? will be a work vehicle but man its slow with a trailer.....

[wax]

Well got one side of the sliders all shaped up and tacked together

I will just jig up now to make the other one the same

re making your truck go better there isnt alot you can do with out bolting a turbo on it I am afraid

[wax]

All welded up and on to the other side now.
I have jigged it up so it will all be even, Much easier to get it right this way.
The wooden blocks are all glued down in case your wondering.

[Dirtydog]

looking good, i might have to use that idea when it comes round to doing all the bar work (if im not too old that i cant remember lmao)

[nismo26]

Whats the point in jiging them? unless you plan on making heaps of them,
no one is going to be able to tell if they are a few mm out you could use the first one as the jig and build the second one off it.

[Dirtydog]

Its a mental thing in my case, its nice knowing that things match even if no one else notices.

That's a great idea.
and that's just what I have done, I am a metal work teacher and I like to make sure that I do accurate work as my students see it. I want to install into them good work ethics.

Why don't we have a like button


Edit;
Nice work as usual, Wax.
Can't wait to see the QD burn some coal then scream it's tits off

Haha cheap labor could make a killing.

Would be awesome huh. Wish they were good enough to do it
