    Fitted a turbo

    Hi
    I picked up my Perentie after having a turbo, custom exhaust manifold and new 2 1/2" exhaust fitted yesterday.
    Plenty of torque way less gear changes. Makes it even more enjoyable to drive.
    While not cheap this mod has transformed the car.
    Im not sure if the photos attach properly but here goes

    Hey mate, who did the Turbo for you?

    Do you have before and after numbers from a dynamometer?

    Thanks for letting me know as I'm quite interested in this as you can see from my other thread.....

    Cheers,

    Also interested in who did the mod - was this KLR? Thanks for the pics, the more pics of turbo installs I see the more confident I get that I can do the work myself. Cheers

    Looks nice...
    Have they used the Isuzu factory manifold or a fabricated one?
    Do they install boost and EGT gauges as part of the fitment, or just tune it up and let you have at it

    You are going to have to get some tyres with more on-road grip.

    The turbo sits a long way back so I'm guessing they have modified a NA manifold. Which is possible with a TIG welder. No sign of the air filter choke indicator or crank case breather being retained. Maybe these are outside the photo. Alternatively maybe the installer is relying on turbo (see 5/16 tube btw turbo and air filter) vacuuming extra breather capacity from the rocker cover. The consequence is this sucks oil soaked air through the turbo and coats the fan. I also noted no water feed to the turbo, which many people say is not needed. More photos needed. Quite a neat job though.

    They Tune it on a Dyno with boost EGT and RPM. I asked them not to fit the gauges, but provide a socket for EGT welded to the exhaust. The manifold is a custom.

    Hi Dave,

    Yes more grip definitely. In fact I just removed the split rims and Hi-Milers, I fitted 4 new michelin tyres and standard Perentie rims. Borrowed from my two (new to me $609 bid price ) No 5's. This reduced the noise in the cab big time.
    With the turbo, exhaust and tyres has changed the whole car. Like I said before makes even more enjoyable to drive

    Regards
    Andrew
