Thread: turbo kit arrived

looks good, what turbo & manifold do they provide and where does the oil drain? is it water cooled?

garret T25 turbo oil drains into what they call the pto cover plate but its the plate with two bolts on the left side of block looking from the rear. I believe its a Isuzu monifold, there is a few bits of fabrication and welding jobs to complete it but should work well once done.

ummm

1 do bushes
2 oil leeks
3 reinvent air con plumbing inside, remount radio uhf etc
4 re invent air-con under bonnet
5 fix any thing else thats broken
6 TURBO

i am a bit anal about oil leeks i just don't like them and will not accept them. hence why it will be awhile before i get to the turbo bit. but i am jellouse looks good.

nice one

Will be good to know how it goes

clean32 I empathise with your list. heh. I have to do steering, shocks, firewall, bushes first.. but turbo will happen, eventually !

yes its a bit like that, keeping eyes open for bits and peaces while doing the other bits.

There was a county at Blinman this year with D-Gas, so i keep on thinking that with the subsidy that this may be a good interim measure. but then how would S Gas go with a turbo?? seems ok on the discos.

but that is a nice looking Kit aye

IIRC, the cover plate is the top bearing for the oil pump drive shaft. It would need to be drilled off centre if used for the oil drain. Looks like an Isuzu manifold.
