It was more like one of those "Dont want to look - please let that not be what I think it is" moments.

Almost too embarrassing to post, but hey - experience gained is proportional to machinery destroyed.
Hopefully someone else will gain from my destruction.

Yeah - the good news is that I've already done the R&D (ranting and destruction) for you. The actual overhaul kit is really easy to install....

I know the 4BD2 pumps (indirect injection) don't have enrichment, but I've never checked on an older 4BD1. My engine is factory T from 85/86.

Nope - only the 2 levers on the top of mine.

So what's the VNT turbo problem? Is the shaft worn?

Nope - I forgot about the LH thread and sheared the end off the shaft. Piccy back in post #73

Lots of other models you can get the shaft for, but cant find anyone that can get hold of this one. Apparently Garrett wont sell the parts separately.

New turbine shaft arrived this morning for the T25G I'm going to use to get me going (old turbine was injured while eating its own heatshield).

Steve

Oh bugger.
I know garrett won't sell them, but others might. Melett have a whole range of shafts for VNT garretts.

Cheers - I've just emailed them.
Will also measure mine up tonight and see if there is a matching one in that catalogue.

Steve it might be the same as the ones in the turbos i have GT2260vnt, i'll go to the shed and check.
Oh and that shut off motor thingy looks to be the same as the Mazda T3500 ones, they run the same pump as the isuzu (basically)
