Carcrafter22 put one in his f100, he was running about 45psi, had an overboosting issue, hit 60psi, blew the head gasket. He also had a compound turbo set up, wasn't him was it?Quote:

Could have been. It was on a test bench from memory and about to be put in his SUV. He was working through cooling problems at the time. I will see if I can dig it up when I get home.
Yeah interested to see it.
Yep, it’s was Carcrafter’s. Dougal mentions it here.

Thanks for the feedback.
So the TD5 has 'more' on paper (in standard form). I noticed the TD5 based on those specs has its 300nm at just 1950 while the ISUZU has it at 1900 (so really no difference)... what is the actual torque/power curve like though... thats what would be interesting to know.
The isuzu has a very flat torque curve, pulls well from idle. Mine has been estimated from engineers and dyno results to be around 200+kw and 600+Nm at the flywheel. It would be closer to 250kw now.
Just to stir the pot! One of our forum members in his 4BD1 powered County. I think picking the right line may have helped, but having decent gearing, good articulation and getting power down is certainly important too.

Lol - the nut behind the wheel plays a large factor in my eyes.. A good driver will always out perform a crap driver in a better vehicle.. Experience counts for a lot also. [thumbsupbig]Quote:
