My Toyota Landcruiser 105 series Petrol destroyed its turbo. The turbo is 20 years old and no longer available so I have to modify a turbo to fit. Sorry for the camera rotations challenges.
Sounds like you matched the turbo to a "T". I'm sure you knew what you were doing, but it was good to get confirmation with that run and seeing it run out of boost at the high end of the rev range.
Looks like that will work. Do you think not having a flex section led to the manifold cracking? Why is the EGT probe after the turbo? Seem like in front of the turbo would be the place to put it considering there will be a temperature drop as the exhaust flows across the turbine.
I think the weight of the exhaust played a part but I've been lead to believe these manifold did tend to crack due to a lower than par casting material. The EGT side was that I want to watch trends more than anything. So the actual number isn't as important to me. Also it was easy to ft there.
Matt, a Barra turbo swap is easier than fitting the whole Barra motor ;) Do you have any MAC valve actuated boost control as well? Not sure what ECU you are using...
I'm not interested in a barra swap these motors do very well for as they are. I'm not looking for all the powers just some. I can wind in more boost and stuff but I really don't need to as it hauls fine at 7-8psi. whats a MAC valve? I have an piggy back ecu with a boost input but it really needs to be changed out and tuned properly which is my next step.
@@MadMatt4WD Matt, MAC is a brand name for a boost control solenoid valve. Turbosmart offers similar. If you stay Australian on ECU, you can go Link or Haltech. I plan to use Haltech on my Miata turbo when finances allow.
