ThePog Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 I looked at the VDO's, they are pretty spendy plus are only 12v, I need it to be 24v. The burnsco ones come in a 24v so will be a lot easier 55 minutes ago, mjrstar said: Roof mount turbo, end of story. If it wasn't for my foolish requirement for rear passenger seats I could go mad in the cabin with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 I found these ones as well, Cardwells do them; https://tiltonracing.com/product/cooler-pumps/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I would personally be doing anything i could (within reason) to eliminate the need for the added complexity of a scavenge pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's a shit thing to have to do. I need to take the cab off again in a day or two, I think I will take a proper hard look at the positioning.

Yowzer Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Nothing wrong with complex if it makes things easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Looks like there is room for the turbo at the back of the cab if you offset the intercooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 That rsr page has some opinions on the vdo and tilton pumps One of the main reasons I went away from the rear mount idea was the fact you have to rely on an electric pump to keep you going, which would be difficult to get a replacement quickly to get you going again. Which is probably a bit dumb as a fuel pump is the same thing really Those burnsco ones are pretty cheap I guess you could keep one as a backup in the truck if you were worried about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Yes, I am trying to keep things as simple as possible and this is a bit of a fly in the ointment. I will have a real hard look at it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Right, I have spent the last half an hour fucking around with this and I am pretty sure I can make an adaptor to mount the turbo directly beneath the manifold. This means the sump drain is 100mm straight down from that. It will mean moving my clutch line away from what's going on in that area, but it also means I can have a lake pipe if I want to... Thanks again to @mjrstar for the quality steer on this. Edit; it means I can probably use the standard dump pipe now as well. Yay! Second edit; thanks for all the useful advice on this one chaps....I will update soon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePog Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 A dude I know here has made a ute out of his safari, and put twin 3" stacks up the back, he loves that shit. He spent a bit of time trying to convince me to do the same. 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
