Booste Gauge port pitch?, size? Metric? 617 952
Anyone know if the port on the 5cyl 300 turbo Diesel (1984 era) for the booste gauge is metric threads orrr?. What ever it is what do u think the thread pitch and size it is?
After some talk with an engineer about an LP booste setup the desision is to use the port where the turbo booste gauge gets it's pressure. His suggestion was to put a Y into this port. ONe side of the Y will be the booste gauge and the other side the LP injection. Anyone see a reason to NOT use this port. If so... please have handy a suggestion on another port usable for LP injection. Why LP injection? Load up ur car or waggon with the 5cyl 300 turbo in it untill it weighs 5 1/2 tons then try driving up long upgrades and you'll understand why. You'll understand even better if you change the gear rations to LOW tractor like power. Thats my set up.. a Unimog w/the 617 925 LP will only be used on hills.. sorta like a nitrous kick in a gasser.
