What about dino? how much hp?

You are asking the wrong questions, How much torque does it add ? and where in the curve?

They no longer make this turbo set up any more! but I would think its better to make your own any ways it will work a lot better!

my 249D Turbo Kit is the last one made. NEW.

It's still for sale.

You ever drive this thing around Will?
Any plans or updates with it?

having read through this, it could be an option for my 615 powered W110 merc station wagon.
It would appear that the kit was simply a turbo mounted on a bend straight onto the exhaust manifold with some extra bits to supply oil etc .
Would that be right?
I'm not looking for tyre burning performance but a bit more torque for load hauling and this might be a simpler solution.
What sizes were the housings,does anyone have info onthis?
Cheers!

I drove it this weekend still running great it need's a smaller turbo with a wast gate to get boost sooner but between 45-70mph it goes like a 300d non turbo

your difficulties with spoolup might be somewhat alleviated by
eliminating the rollercoaster of twists and turns and changing diameters
of piping you have supplying air to your turbo intake. going with a large diameter as straight as possible pipe from your air filter to turbo would be of help. also if you are looking to fab a new (straight) cone to bolt to your turbo intake consider integrating some honeycomb for airflow straightening which will help make your outdated turbo a bit more efficient. i have pulled some pretty thick pieces off of lexus's maf/map boxes.
didnt know toyotas were good for things other than seat donations? life is full of surprises!
also consider boxing the area behind the headlight where your air filter is or better yet if you really want to feed your snail remove the louvers that are located between your foglight and radiator and fab a box to pick up your intake air there. it is a bit closer to the stagnation point and will yield more pressure yet!

removing the soot injection from my california 240d was akin to adding a turbo

make sure your crankcase ventilation is top notch!

The biggest problem with it is how big the exhaust housing is it's like a holset with no waste gate!
but it's fun

I want to adapt a smaller IHI turbo to some day!

I had an IHI off a Ford Probe on mine years ago & it was a kick in the butt. It was in a Samurai & really helped the low end alot.
