ThePog 7,282 Report post Posted October 20 Any of youse knowledgeable about bolting a turbo onto a diesel NA 80 series land cruiser? My sis has a majestic shitbox nearing 500,000k and it runs sweet as a nut, manual as well. We had a talk about boosting it to 1hdt spec using factory stuff but I am not sure how well it would take it or of there were significant differences between the NA and turbo versions. Whatcha got for me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessemk2 872 Report post Posted October 20 You mean 1hz? Piston tops on the 1hz are bit thin so will fail with to much boost 1hz+t you dont really go past 5-6 psi to keep them semi reliable Think safari used to do a bolt on turbo kit They are pretty slow so any boost gona help 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yowzer 32,391 Report post Posted October 20 Nah, 80 series has NA 1HDs in them. Couldn't tell ya what the difference is between the two but I'd slap a turbo on it and send it and assume the best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePog 7,282 Report post Posted October 20 Fuck I just assumed it was a 1hd, I will carjam it and find out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessemk2 872 Report post Posted October 20 Hmmm All the factory non turbo diesel 80s ive seen have been 1hz 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePog 7,282 Report post Posted October 20 It's a 1hz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yowzer 32,391 Report post Posted October 20 Oh bummer. Yeah, probably not worth boosting soz. Not without whipping in some better internals anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePog 7,282 Report post Posted October 20 Yea probably not. Fuck TD42s are pretty great then. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yowzer 32,391 Report post Posted October 20 5psi will still at least give it a little gain, so if you can get a cheap enough kit ya may as well. Dunno what the fuel limit on these engines are though so you'll likely still have to.be conservative with the smoke screw. Not like a dirty old 3L that'll take 30psi and a maxed out fuel pump and love it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yowzer 32,391 Report post Posted October 20 Give it half a turn on the smoke screw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessemk2 872 Report post Posted October 20 1hz will do 1 million kays no worries They still have them in new 70 series in africa cause they run on dodgy diesel and can fix bush mechanics stylez Just drive it for what it is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePog 7,282 Report post Posted October 20 Yea that will help a wee bit.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yowzer 32,391 Report post Posted October 20 After half a mill the injector springs and fuel pump will be pretty well flogged if they haven't had a rebuild, that alone will make a world of difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpr 6,251 Report post Posted October 20 This is the same shit, just minus a cylinder. 50% more power on 8psi boost, with a wind on the pump. no intercooler, stock airbox. just adapter r to stock manifold and some pipes. 1hz looks to be the same deal 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A turbo will mask all that beautifully 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nzstato 2,118 Report post Posted October 20 4xoverland on YouTube has a bit on turbo a 1hz. A few dos and a lot of don’ts... run light psi and get and EGT gauge. Thin crowns easy to pop and overheat if not careful. Result was general improvement open road driving 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Result was general improvement open road driving i breifly considered turboing my one, but by the time one acquires bits and matches it up, tunes etc, be easier to find a 1HD-T, and sell mine underground Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I drove it over Mt Messenger a few weeks back and if dealt with it as you'd expect, slow but unrelenting. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
