Custom turbo
Custom turbo
There are lots of 3L diesel in the last 10 years with Garrett VNT turbos, but the GTB2260 that they come with are only good for maybe ~300HP. There are a few companies over in Europe that build custom 375-400hp VNT turbos. GTD2872 from darksidedevelopement in the UK. I've emailed them back and forth a bit over the last couple years and they are quite responsive and helpful. There are a few more companies across Europe with similar turbos. I recently saw someone else came out with a GTD2973.
I have been thinking about getting one of those, but living/driving between 5000-11000ft elevation means PR is up from almost 3 to almost 4. This turns that ~400hp turbo into a maybe ~300hp turbo.
What do you plan on using to control the VNT? I'm working with a few other people to build a standalone VNT controller that will hopefully be available in the coming months sometime. I've been playing around with a GTA2056(only easy option back in 2014) on my OM606 for the last few years and after lots of attempts a controlling it with vacuum/boost actuators it never worked well at all. I gave up and that's when we started thinking about electronic controllers. We're also working on getting a bolt on VNT for the 617, but that will likely be good for maybe ~250hp. Great for stock & 7.5mm element 617s, but not gonna cut it for crazy people look for 400hp out of a 3L diesel engine designed 50yrs ago...lol jk.
How much boost and fuel do you need to put into a 617 at 5000rpm to hit 400hp?
