Hi people,
I have a 2.5di Transit turbo model, I am installing a larger water cooled turbo and a full sized fron mounted intercooler, interested to hear from any of you that may have 'played' with these engines before.
I am happy to share my experiences with you all, let me know what you think chaps.

Hi Dieselhead!
Do not have experience with such an engine, but I'm curious about your work!
Anny pictures and data before/after is more than welcomed, as well as subjective description of achieved results.
 
Hi again people, 're-discovered' this forum and the thread I started, thought I best update a few things!

The Transit Tdi project has come a long way, it now features a custom built, (by ourselves), four branch exhaust manifold, onto which is bolted a Toyota Ct12B water cooled turbo. The exhaust system has also been custom made in 3 inch tube.
Intake is cooled via a Jaguar XKR chargecooler.
Larger injector nozzles have been fitted.
Still working with 'hybrid' Bosch VE30 pumps.

Despite the vehicle weighing in at 2,300kg it still manages an 18.5s quarter mile, not bad for an 8 valve push rod mechanically injected diesel!

More to come.
