its never gonna affect you on a hill though, and the taking off thing is all jsut what you're used to on teh specific vehicle changing. 

if it's gonna affect you on the hill then why doesn't it take half a minute for your engine to come to rest when you switch the key off at idle?

Fitted chromally (sp?) flywheel to the 910 when the ca18det was in it , and it was great, but i didnt grab the super light one but was way,WAY lighter then factory and the only thing i noticed is you needed more pedal to take off because it would stall easier, thats it. 

This.

It only affects the engine by decreasing inertia, thus meaning that taking off requires a bit more jandal. That's it.
The incline speed/momentum loss effect is a consequence of this but is only really noticeable (bareley) on predominantly smaller displacement engines with fewer cylinders.

The paranoia of losing the ability to power up inclines is so very close to fiction, but is just on the fact side of the fence.

At one point I had my 3L wound up to 30, but the fuel pump was already topped out so there wasn't really any gain, just unnecessary stress so I backed it to 25 and it was happy as anything. No idea when they pop, I never managed to do it.

A CT20 will pop above 20psi, they're also inefficient little buggers so you'll definitely want a better turbo if you plan on pushing it over about 15 or so.

What's the boost limit a 2lt can handle before it pops

Cant remember how much boost it made but a mate of mine had a 2l non turbo engine in his hilux. Made a custom manifold, good turbo, no wastegate,  intercooler etc... ended up running high 14sec 1/4s which I thought was good given how gutless it was to start with. 

It broke a gudgeon pin after a little while, the 2lt ones are bigger, it got a set of those and a quick rebuild and it was good again

A hx30 or he221 would work well, ill be running a he221 with a 5.5cm housing on a 3.9l diesel

are these examples with factory NA diesil pumps ??

any gains in camshaft work on a lazy diesel ?

Internet diagnosis time people! Rd28t stuttering/stumbling under boost. Left Wellington last night and all was fine and dandy, but after a while it started surging (power would cut in and out, felt like driving into a really gusty headwind) when trying to accelerate at any decent rate. Got worse over time. I topped up with diesel from half a tank along the way and I can’t be sure but I think it was not long after that that I first noticed it, but may be a coincidence.

initially I could drive around it by keeping the boost down and not giving it full beans, but by the time I arrived at my destination (300km), it was stumbling just keeping a stable speed.

any ideas on where to start? I plan on checking the fuel filter (not sure what to check for haha), and obvious things first (leaks etc). Was also thinking perhaps a leaking/torn boost android diaphragm? As it feels Iike when it’s Making boost the fuelling is all out of whack.

oh and it starts as it’s always starts (I.e. fine) and will rev out cleanly with no load.

cheer!

Check your your fuel lines and filter and make sure they're not pulling in any air. I've done a few diesels with those symptoms, one was a shitty fuel hose, one was a split filter housing, one was an incorrectly installed filter, all allowing air to be pulled into the fuel lines and causing weird misfires.

Good thinking, shall do that. Whipped the top of the boost aneroid off to check the diaphragm, no leaks but the pin was pretty gunked up so have it a clean (and put it back in the same place).  Doesn’t appear to have changed anything so can cross that off.

Fuel blockage, usually collects at joins, banjo bolts/fittings. 

Take pipe off at filter and check.

Could also be at pickup, but hard to check that, could blow down the line back to tank. (Don't forget to re-prime after) 

Actually, check the banjo at the pump first, fuel line from filter to pump. They usually have a filter in it.
