Thread: The Wolf 110 4BD1T

Hey Tangus,

Thought I'd add my two cents since I recently installed a turbo on my 4bd1. Having driven the landy NA for years and years I'm totally thrilled with the performance it has nowadays.

If you are willing to spend ~1500 you can sort yourself out with a new turbo, exhaust manifold (if required) and necessary plumbing, provided you're willing to do the work yourself. This is rather insignificant compared to the 5K and upward quoted.

The turbo, though inexpensive, has done the job for ~30K kms thus far.
Having said that, I don't have super high expectations for it (working life). I instead consider it as more of a 'prelim' turbo for fitting purposes and therefore endeavor to replace it with something more 'heavy duty' after it packs up!

For the moment, I'd consider turning back the fuel screw a few turns if you intent on driving the 110 without the turbo operating.

Looks like an awesome project car and will look even better with a lick of degreaser under the hood - I'm confident you'll have hours of fun- hah

Plenty of photos if you're keen.

Which would explain why the turbo (and possibly every other seal) was ****ing oil.

Looks like you've got a nice project there. Does anyone make reproduction firewalls for reasonable money? Sea-freight from the UK isn't expensive.
I don't recognise that turbo, it could be ressurected but I wouldn't bother. Fit a T28 or similar newer turbo.

They are aussie only, so quite unique. Offender90 and RangierRover on here own one, and Rovercare has one that now has a 127" (aka 130) chassis.

I believe they originally all had "armstrong" power steering, however PAS may have been an option.

I also have an 87 trayback

Mine has the 4 bolt PS box so probably came in about 86/87.

My '85 120 had 3 bolt power steering.

And cloth trim seats.

Nothing wrong with your post - thinking through and imagining it made me laugh out loud for a good minute.

Haha ok. You have a very dark sense of humour!!!

Have a look on youtube, there is a tdi 90 doing it... Not something I ever want to see my baby doing!!!
