I ordered a pair on eBay :)
Here's a recent development, I put aside my bearing mods for the meantime and concentrated on the stock set-up meaning the floating bushing and engine oil feed .
So I rebuilt another CT12 with the repair kit I got online. I installed an union thingy for the oil...
Hi all, it's been around 60 days or more with my turbo install and glad to note that I haven't had any problems since.
I have a second really bad turbo that I am working on (experimenting on actually) and worked on installing a bearing on the compressor side.
Spent a few hours at a mate's...
Completed the set-up today and got a reasonable coupler.
Upon driving and testing the difference was immediately noticeable.
- RPM goes up faster
- increase in acceleration rate
- engine is more silent (dunno how&why)
- while cruising on 5th gear @80kph and step on the gas there is more...
Yes I wll block that intake part where the breather hose goes to then ill add an oil catch can from the breather and another hose into the intake of the turbo.
Thanks!
Yes its running but not yet connected to the intakes :)
Yes I will add an "under the hood" intercooler soon, probably taken from a pajero.
Safety shoes hahaha! btw thats not me LOL
Thanks mate :)
I've always wondered how it will run on a non-turbo engine with no fuel enrichment, and the guys at a diesel shop said its fine but of course I won't get the full potential of the turbo but I will get some extra power.
They also mentioned that I can adjust the main fuel load...
Here is a short test. Disclaimer, this is an old busted turbo that hasn't been repaired yet. :) I just doused the internals with oil to spool it for a bit :)
