Toyota 80 Series Landcruiser OM606 Install and Twincharge
Hi from New Zealand.
New project about to start.
Have got a Toyota 80 Series Landcruiser with a 4.2 L turbo diesel ( 1HDT 12 valve) in it that recently started smoking lots, the 2 front cylinders in a poor state, oil coming up and out the exhaust. Was thinking of doing a rebuild but then came across the OM606 and thought why the hell not, would be a good project, had a look in NZ for an engine, not much around and expensive. so have imported a couple of cars from the UK so that I have the bits needed, bit expensive but hopefully can get a bit back by selling other parts off the cars.
Plan is to use Toyota gearbox or maybe auto trans, OM606 elec pump with 7.5mm elements and Baldurs DSL1 controller, thinking Eaton M122 supercharger to give good bottom end torque and a turbo feeding into the supercharger to boost the flow/pressure , with water to air intercoolers ,hopefully giving good usable power upto about 300 kW.
Note sure what turbo to use, thinking a Holset HX35 or HX40.
Got the DSL1
Cars arriving in the next few days
Thoughts on Turbo options and Constructive comments welcome.
Cheers
Tim
