Om605 compound turbo build, my Corolla Ke70 tracktoy
Sorry guys, long time since I have updated here... :/
But last update ended with compound working great! and about one week later it was time for a new day at the track. Startet the day before to look over the car and doing minor adjustments when I spotted oil swetting for the small turbo.. but to access this, the big had to come out
But got it fixed, and ready to og to the track!
Stoped to fill up on the way, and of corse truckfuel straigt in the trunk! (called taxfree in norway, because its a bit less tax on it, an illegal to use on cars...)
And at the track
This was a trackday made by Toyota Norway, and its free driving for any Toyota owners.. And having a Ke70 here gives quite alot looks, but every time I fired it up EVERYONE looked at this :p Dont think anyone was expecting a diesel yota :p
Back to the car, it worked like a bullit, packed a good punch from 2000rpm and full boost (over 3bar) from 2600rpm to 6500rpm. It had a bit much backpressure, so I ordered a bigger LP turbo between the driving
Sinse it worked this good, we startet to give it more boost, but then it didnt make more than 2,5bar. drove in ang checked all tubing to/from intercooler after leaks, but dident see anything. adjusted up more and tried again, but no help. continued some laps and then it ended here.....
Smashed 3.gear in the longest turn, straght of, and had to be towed back to pit. Back there we found a torn of pressurehose that caused the leak.
Also I had borowed an other steeringwheel, and that made the car much much better to drive!
