Well I put fixing the 300td off until the parts arrive on Tuesday, so instead I finally got around to putting all the turbo bits together and made myself a 240DT. You can see some photos
here
I used a manifold I picked up in Sweden from STT that made a turbo kit for the 240/300D back in the day.
The turbo is from a Volvo 850 and is a TD04HL-15g, its a little bit big and does have a bit of lag, but it was what I had in the shed.
I adjusted the full load limit screw 3 times and only saw my EGT's go down, from about 950f, to 900f to 850f. This is with the ADA removed, I have a ALDA to put in its place to reduce off boost smoke. I thought well I'm only running 6psi of boost so I need to remove the limiter, I did and now the EGT's are max 800f. I just can't seem to get the pump to really squirt more fuel.
It does not feel like there is that much more power, and I think its because I don't have enough fuel being injected. Anyone have any ideas on how to increase the fuel output or why I'm not getting enough fuel?
Yes I know the engine is going to die, and the turbo motor has like way more stuff to make it live long with the added power from the turbo.......only positive stuff please.
