LD28 Turbo


danger

Recommended Posts

So yeah, Josh may have had no worries in the wag around the flat of Chch but I'm having a bit of trouble contending with hills.

LD28 Turbo. Just had fitted an intercooler etc,. Seems to be running about 5psi

#1:

How many boosts can I run safely on stock internals?

#2:

How do I run an EGT gauge? Drill and tap the exhaust mani?

manifolds where its at.

usually if you go after the turbo, all you are reading is what the temp is after the turbo has done its thing

With it being in the manifold, you are actaully reading the temps that are building up in the head. Which is the whole point.

no need to be sorry my friend

You can jam as much boost into it as you want, so don't worry about that.Ā It is the fuel you have to worry about and its the fuel that will make it go well. Has the injection pump got a boost compensator?Ā

A mate reckoned his mate had a 280zx running an LD28+T. He'd tickled up his injector pump using parts from a factory LD20T to make it boost compensating.Ā 

You could free boost it if you really wanted to. But actual power is made through making heat. (Adding fuel) make too much hear though, and Dane has another "driver" that required mechanical repairs.Ā
