Special tool for running your diesel engine without the Turbo installed
Here is a DIY Special tool for running your diesel engine without the Turbo installed.
I made this from a front brake pad backing plate (all pad material broken off). The template was compressed cardboard, pressed/squeezed into the Turbo oil feed housing with small plywood blocks and a C-clamp. Then trimmed with X-ACTO Cutting Tools. The template was held against the cleaned brake pad backing plate, and a carbide scribe marked the outlines. A cutoff wheel or sawzall worked for the outer edges, and light filing took off the razor sharp edges. The two holes where done on a small spacer wood block held in my drill press vice. Note: the wood block is only there to avoid drilling into my vice. The template was used again to make a custom gasket. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ps6f9128b6.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...psefe4893a.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...pse1699d13.jpg . |
Am assuming this is not for on the driving since you need something to replace the empty space Turbo leaves; so there is a continuous Intake Manifold and continuous Exhaust.

yeah... that'd be LOUD!

I like it :D
The paperboard gasket trick is a huge time saver |
Correct

I have found it is the (cheap) easiest way to absolutely verify a BAD turbo. If the engine runs perfect WITHOUT the turbo, and smoking or horrible with the turbo. The answer is a simple binary = good / bad... . |
Well

The prime concern is hot plasma. I use it for quick, around the block, power / smoke test runs without damage. . |

Huh....to me Zoomies are Gamma....that's the nickname for it on nuclear powered submarines.

I will settle for the picture definition. In my mind you could zoom all over that. A no brainer at best.

I tested it with a junk oil feed fitting attached to a grease gun that is equipped with a pressure guage. The gasket failed at 900 PSI.. :D . |
