Well that big update time is coming: been mulling over seriously thinking of turbo so started seriously reading up looking into it and looking into different way of doing it and speaking to people who have already done it and now i have almost everything i need bar the management so in next coming months (i hope) to start and have it completed, going on hol soon so will have to wait till im back as want to get emerald k6 ecu and loom and get that sorted before i do the rest will start to fab the manifod as i have spares and already have flanges!

 

My turbo of choice:
KKK K27 0.70a/r from 7.7ltr Scania lorry

 

8psi uprated wastegate spring

50mm external wastegate with screamer

Exhaust manifold flanges

 

Ahh i also need to get injectors a toss up between 440cc and 550cc

 

single or twin mate?

 

Single twin scroll borgwarner its .70 A/R not .68

 

maaaaad !
cool! i like the plan...
keep us posted mate...

 

I have omex 600 sitting here mate if you wanna playa round with that.

Whilst you're at it - make me an exhaust manifold too for a turbo as it really needs boost

 

Lol wont have money to buy my omex till hopefull November but maybe January cos of xmas, gonna start making my manifold soon though with Fil!

 

well were going to try and make something!

might end up being some sort of alternative art

 

Sure it'll be ok at worst it be a frankensteins creation lol

 

My omex has been sitting on the shelf for almost a year now mate - not gonna use it anytime soon so you are welcome to use it for the time being bud

 

I ment emerald k6 (bang head against wall) its cos i been helping a mate with his zetec turbo running omex600

 

Well ordered my bits to start making my manifold after my holiday!

 

Good one mate - keep details of all these items as im gonna need more power in mine too

 

Just hone feom my holiday got in at 2-3am and i have this to prep ready for welding!

 

that's quite a good idea mate, cool!
keep us posted, wanna see this one...

 

Will be mad with a turbo on.

 

Which flywheel & clutch combo have you got Wez?

I mean nothing to do with your turbo upgrade, just which setup did you use initially?

Am I right thinking you had your hybrid MT75 modded for clutch arm pivot point?

Cheers

 

I've got a 2.8 flywheel and ap 6paddle clutch and pressure plate bud and im keeping same set up for the turbo

 

Cracking thread mate, I've spent all day reading it ��I'm doing a 24v swap into my Sierra soon and you've answered a few of my questions !

 

Cool thanks bud if you need too know anything just give me a pm or post in my thread, where you located?

 

Been so busy had no time to really do anything to my own car what with decorating my kids room and helping others sort their sierra's well this week had few hours spare so started to complete my hydraulic clutch its 99.9% complete now

 

Just got to put back in car bleed it and remove the clutch cable, then adjust the pedal in situ

 

Also bought a 2ltr fuel swirl pot for the boot, as i keep getting fuel surge on hard left cornering

 

Looks very nice what remains to do now?

 

Don't suppose you have a guide to wiring the boa loom into a Sierra ?

 

Get the fitting and pipe it all up after christmas (I think my mrs has bought me all the bits for xmas)!

 

Sorry only just saw this, kind of what car loom is yours its pretty easy to be fair i can talk you through it.

 

Been a while turbo plans on hold at mo alot of things have happened as of late mrs not been well and its still ongoing so been doing bits and pieces here and there plus my company has lost their contract so i gotta look for another job around may june as we all getting made redundant!

 

Well anyhow I have finished my hydraulic clutch! (Pedal is not rusty thats just mud)

 

Cool. Does it feel lighter.

 

A little but not much but i have an uprated ap pressure plate with ap 6paddle clutch, I do however have so much more control over it and its now on point and so precise and cos its so heavy on the cable i had to have seat forward alot more to be able to hold it in traffic i dnt now chair has been moved back about a foot lol

 

I havent given up on turboing only need management and some small stuff but need to make sure i got job sorted and when we know more on mrs health! Been getting friends xr4x4 bk on road after 7+ years off road had a complete strip down and rebuild nut and bolt its now a 3.7 all it needs is base map putting on it then runit in and get it on rollers for proper set up!

 

Well clutch started slipping and was still relatively heavy so after a little bit of research and discussions with Damo I realised it was the uprated ap clutch cover so I bought a transit clutch and fitted along with the transit pressure plate but this ment moding the fork as the cover is bigger now cluch is so much lighter, will get the ap 6 paddle sent off to ap to be relined at some point.

 

Nice work bud! keep it in the road nicely

 

Well treated myself to a set of greys for the turbo conversion......... Job front is looking up as long as I get the go ahead in the next 2 weeks i will be getting my Emerald K6 managment

 

Very nice, that way you'll got your BOA turbo soon

 

Sounds good matey. Cant go wrong with turbo power.

 

Took car out for a blast begining of month to bed clutch in and had noise from rear pass side after having a look we couldnt find anything obvious was drive shaft location and as the pass rear cv's were old i ordered new ones and replaced at same time i noticed diff weeping and it has whined for the last 6years or so it has always had oil so I Ordered diff overhaul kit (all bearings etc) to have it sorted after classic ford.
