G Turbo group buy

Hi Hemi - is that a full replacement or did they recon your own?
 
good time to replace corroded turbo water/oil pipes, plus the long coolant pipe.
unless you like rolling the dice, good idea to use new manifold gaskets and replace the sealing rings where the manifold splits.
manifold nuts and studs can sometimes be pretty corroded too.
 
Cheers. Think we'll need to get ours done at some point (220,000 miles now give-or-take) and it definitely doesn't pick up like it used to. I plan to get it in to a local diesel specialist and have it health checked in the first instance....

Well it's taken a lot longer than I thought to fit my GTurbo, not helped by the guys in Oz sending me the wrong plumbing kit.. I had to have a pipe couriered from South Africa to Zimbabwe at a cost of nearly $100.. the joys of Africa..

Anyway I have to say that the new turbo is fantastic, my cruiser feels like a different car. I'm over the moon with the results and so far running at 1bar boost the clutch is holding just fine.

I will try to run a little more boost in time and see what happens.. but for now I'm happy as..
 
Good result. I've since discovered they don't do for the euro-spec 1HD-FTE in a 100 series with variable vane tech. Well, they will - a custom unit somewhere north of AU$4500. Ouch...

I know, but I'm not too confident about the clutch.. After the fun getting the 90deg bend, I'm in no rush to start searching for a new clutch here in Zim..
