Thread: 123Rover50,s turbo install

What can you tell me about it?
Is it more suitable for my other Isuzu or as a remote turbo for the Chev 6.2 diesel in the 6x6 camper?

How to identify Garrett turbochargers - Concepts - Turbos - TurboMaster

Garrett don't give out specs on the variable vane turbos AFAIK. I will let others comment on suitability, as I haven't kept up with the VVTs.

Too small for the chev 6.2. Could work well on the Isuzu but we'd need a bit more information.

I can tell from the tag that it's a BMW 3 litre 6 cyl turbo on an application which delivered around 218hp.
GARRETT turbos for Bmw passenger cars and vans - Applications - TurboMaster

So flow wise it's a good match for the Isuzu. For boost pressure we'd need to know the max torque on that application and derive boost pressure from that.

These guys: Diesel Tuning Box for BMW X5 E53 3.0d 218PS / 160kW / 215bhp are showing 500Nm for that stock engine. Given it's a 3 litre then with no boost you'd expect around 210Nm. To get 500Nm means a density increase of around 2.5 times.
This suggests that turbo was producing boost in the high 20's with a good intercooler in the stock application.

Last question is fitment. Is the orientation of it going to work? Some VNT turbos cannot be rotated to a suitable angle to fit our engines.

My other isuzu is in a 2b FC so it will have to be a remote setup too as there is no room around the engine anywhere.
We will keep it for that then.
While we are on the subject, any ideas on a turbo for the 6.2?

What level of risk do you want to take?

None. This is our remote area camper. Just hoping for mild boost to get it up the hills easier.

Yep I will probably be swapping the steel one at the front with the new alloy one I have and just do the same with the steel plate...
