i put 2.4 turbo on my 95 doublecab 2.8 with 325000 kms on it november 2005 and have now done over 25000kms on it and still going good and have not touched it at all since put on but running around 10psi boost would like bit more power but told not to boost anymore as starts putting strain on motor

Yes a 2.4 turbo will bolt on to a 2.8 and run fine. You may also want to put the turbo injector pump on to increase fuel delivey under boost, the standed pump will also work but not as well. If you want to run high boost (14psi +) you will want to look at also fiting an intercooler to keep piro temps down as not to over heat the motor and crack the head

is it ok to run higher boost with an intercooler as this is what i was looking at doing next but dont want to blow motor but NEED more power

The higher the boost the more wear and load on the bottom end the temp does start to creap up. The intercooler brings the temp back down. Mudzilla has a 1kz motor running 28psi + it is close to standed with intercooler and other small mods and its hanging in there. Can't garinte the life of your head as they do crack with to much heat. So if you dont mind replaceing your motor if you get it wrong have a go they dont go straight away but I do suggest fitting a piro gadge they are very responcive and give a good idear on whats happining temp wise with the motor

ok thanks for your help...whats a good intercooler to use any ideas?

for road use aircooled should be fine, if you want to play in the mud a watercooled one is much better

so to get bit more diesel do i just play with diesel pump adjustment if so can you explain where adjuster is and how to go bout it

mudhaw · Post by **mudhaw** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 4:07 pm

It is at the back of the injector near the top> If it hasnt been played with before it will have a lock wire on it or a lock cap. This does not need to be there. Undo lock nut and wind screw in for more juice and out for less, small adjustment at a time (eighth to quarter off a turn) then test drive. Look out the back for black smoke under load a small amount is good ,to much and you will have trouble getting a WoF. When youre happy and if the AC still works turn it on and make sure the idle doesnt come up to high. If it does you will have adjust it or disconet the idle up on the side of the pump

You can buy a kit to do this but thay is not cheep (start about 2G) and you can run it all the time, makes heaps more power and is cheeper to run. If done wrong best have a spear motor

Ive not played with diesel like this b for but i have played with LPG in petrol powered cars and with Methenol in my 3/4 midget i used a car LPG regulator n screwed the power valve almost comlpety shut to get it to run poperly to switch the lpg off n on i put a switch on the stop on the butterfly valve bodiel stop so that when i put my foot down it would turn on the regulator giveing the lpg a free rain and dose it make one hell of a gain in power i was very impressed with so on my Terrano ill be fitting a large tank some where on or under it as i have a 60 liter tank sitting here doing nothing and my guess it will last about a month may be more because the amount of lpg is so little for such a power gain
