Single turbo DIY build up *56k warning*
I've been working on my DIY turbo build for a few months and I forgot to post it up over here.
I'm using a Holset turbo from a Cummins diesel Dodge truck with a Tial 38 mm wastegate. The intercooler is a 24x12x3 with 3" inlet and outlets and I'll be using a 1st gen. DSM BOV. The ignition will be an MSD 6a with a Megasquirt standalone running it all.

I built my own header so that I can retain all the smog equipment as well as the front sway bar. The other side will be a flipped shorty. It's only tacked together to get the fitment right in these pics. When I get the fitment correct I'll TIG it all together.

The fuel and ignition control will be taken care of with a Megasquirt v2.2 running MSnS extra code.

Here's the wastegate flange mounted and downpipe half finished.

are you planning on running a nutty amount of boost into your engine? i
f i remember correctly my dad's cummins turbo packs about 38-42 PSI when spooled up... perhaps since your engine will have alot more revs then the diesel the PSI is alot lower... and isn't the turbo fairly large? just wondering.. |
