i'm not to worried about space, there is a HUGE fan currently on the engine side of the radiator..
if I would replace that with a modern, flatter one, and put that on the otherside of the radiator, that would make more than enough room I guess.
i am wondering if it that type of turbo would fit the isuzu, but i don't think so...
b8d made a new manifold.

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

even if it isnt a direct fit, you could just make an adapter plate out of some 8-10mm steel with the two bolt patterns on it, rather than making a whole new manifold.

Starwheel: Remove the top of the aneroid  Pull away the diaphragm, and pull with it, the fuelling pin   Under that, you'll have the white spacer (throw it away) the spring, and the "starwheel", upon which the spring rests  Move the wheel downwards (clockwise) to reduce effective spring pressure against the diaphragm - meaning it moves further for the same level of boost, and upwards (anticlockwise) to increase the resistance to move against boost, and give LESS fuel fuelling advance/timing, is best left alone for 99% of people tuning diesels - extremely minimal gains to be had by itself, but can very quickly destroy an engine if done wrong. I'm expecting to get my Rover to 200Bhp+ (standard 85bhp-ish) and I'm not going anywhere near the timing.... at all |

aaaah, this explains alot (again, I know... ) gues we could have done a little more research before jumping in...
it is a bummer that you would need to take of the inlet for adjustment...
i'm not really bothered to do anything with the timing myself, as you said, is goes bad very quick, I know myself... i'll destroy it...
how much would it need? (just as a first test)
(we removed the plastic ring before installing the engine, and made sure that the diaphragm wasn't turned)

how much would it need for timing? No idea - if it's at the factory timing, then it's pretty much spot-on  As for fuelling, it's different for every engine, and every pump - all you can do is experiment I'm afraid.... which is a bit of a ballache, considering where your pump is!! Also, compare your fuelling pin to the one in the pic above. The one pictured above is from a Rover, and ISN'T eccentric - you could spin it as much as you liked, it wouldn't make any difference to the fuelling! |

ok, i think it is al clear to me now!
now to only find the time and funds....
200bhp instead of 85, does sound nice!
i would be very happy to get to a 130/150 at some point...

TBH, I still don;t even have an intercooler fitted, and I'm still on the "low-spec" turbo... 110Bhp is about as much as this can muster atm! Making a mechanical VNT turbo controller for my final year project at uni though, and my little GT1849v, will be turned into a hybrid (56mm compressor, rather than 49mm) along with the chargecooler I'm making, and some Freelander nozzles, should be all I need  |
