V8 pickups in Thailand ?

**Rigger** · 25-07-2010, 08:28 AM

Is it possible for one of the mods to sort the thread into two, making one for diesel proformance trucks instead of starting a completly new thread. ?

I guess not then

Its a bit difficult to do, you have to tag every post from pge 16 to this page and move to a new thread, would give me wankers wrist.

Is that a reacuring injury Pp

I guess if its to hard we will just carry on
Thanks

Twin plate clutch
Compound turbos, one large and one small. The larger turbo beening a hybrid type similar to what I am running now but larger. will be tuned to around 400hp to keep the truck as a street truck but fast enough to hit the drag strip.
The truck will make boost at a low rpm with the little turbo spooling the larger turbo and will be boosting around 60-70 psi
The idea beening to build a hi HP engine that will be relaible as well, As far as we know this is the first time compound turbos have been used in Thailand on a street diesel truck.

Approx how much is all that going to cost ?

Never heard of the compound turbos, sounds interesting.

Cheers

Its going to cost lots and lots

I did have a budget but I think I already blew that. Scrapped the JZ 5 speed box and now going for a RB26 6 speed box with the first three gears replaced with heavy duty gears.
I had never heard of them until Philip bought it up, they run them in the states on some trucks and I think BMW makes a car with them.

That is correct Rigger,
compound turbocharger setup is primarly used on diesel application.

the concept is to allow a highpressure turbo (small frame turbo) to directly drive a (low pressure turbo-large frame turbo) to reduce turbo lag whilest generating huge power levels of the large frame turbocharger.

boost on compound setups is regulated though the small turbocharger ( we set it at 25-30psi) and with the accumulation of the boost feed into the large turbo,
the air volume will generate approx 30-35psi boost), so adding the large turbo boost pressure with the small frame boost pressure, the intake manifold will see boost pressure between 55-65psi of accumulated boost.

dont get confused with sequential or twin turbo setups which devlopes power though a twin set up. vs compound which uses the power of the large frame turbo, but at the same time use the small turbo to drive the large frame turbo to spool as quick as possible.

you can think of it as a twin turbo (if each single turbo makes 300hp at max cfm at desired boost pressure (engine threshold) you can maximum achieve 600hp) lets say at 4000rpm on a diesel v8 truck.

for a compound, the large turbo devlopes maximum of 500-650hp at desired boost pressure according to cfm. the small turbo will flow max of about 250-260hp, thus total power will be still 500-650hp but will achieve boost at 3500rpm or so.
thus making huge power with minimum lag.
the 250hp small turbo will feed more air volume to the second big turbo charger even at idle, which in theory makes the large turbo
think that your engine is pumping much more volume of air, thinking that the engine is larger than it actually is.
allowing more idle airflow stright into the large turbo at atmospheric pressure allows the large turbo thinks your engine in NA form (before the forced air is compressed) has larger flow qualities than it would with a stright single turbo.

(to picture this easily, you can picture the std air volume at idle is at a value of 200(just an example), so when you do a compound kit the large turbo will see instead of 200flow it will see 350-400 due to the small turbo compressed air and exhaust pressure feeding directly to the large turbo), basiclly increasing the size and displcement of the engine without touching the internals).

you can say this is the basic principle of a compound turbo system.

---compound turbo 2jz vs american muscle turbo.

those are some nice compound turbo clips.

that second clip reminded me of the shit i was covered in trying to keep up with rigger..was fun though

**Rigger** · 29-07-2010, 05:31 PM

MonsterP whats the story with the first clip, why doesnt he get on it ?

Mine never smoked that bad anyway the ECU has been retuned for less smoke

Hey Rigger,

regarding the first video- i have no idea, maybe he is scared haha.
one thing i can say is when doing modifications esspecially in the engine compartment, if you are not a good driver you can easily get in a bad accident.

Thats why i am providing behind secon square, a short circuit course to my customers. as we always want them to be safe, but at the same time understand how to drive fast in a safe way, and how to take corners-through apexs and s-curves, how to accelerate to maximize traction vs tail sliding. etc etc.

i am planning to do this when i can get majority of customers in town, to make it worth while. otherwise customers can contact me personally to book the course for several hours to train them 1 on 1.

never the less, the 1st clip shows how quick the rpms can pull with the right combination of compound turbos and supporting mods.

Rigger-im sure you were amazed at the supra 2jz compound turbo.

**Rigger** · 30-07-2010, 12:28 PM

I am a good driver and I dont care what my passangers say

Yeh a track day with a few people sounds good.

Hi! Interesting reading!
I'm driving around in an old Volvo 960 with the straght 6 3000cc. It should have 200 hp but i think that 50-60 of them has left the building al ready!
I have been looking for a Lexus V8 for some time but without any luck until i found your interesting engine swap!
Where exectly(what name of the shop) did you find your engine!
I think it shouldn't be to much of a problem to fit the V8 because the engine compartment is quite big the rest like ICU etc is of cource an other story!

Best Regards
Johan

Have a look at this thread

https://teakdoor.com/motoring-in-thai...swaps-etc.html (Engine Conversions, Swaps Etc)

I have a couple of engine swaps underway, including a V8.

The 1UZ would be a nice swap into your Volvo. I have a '92 Volvo 940 that I converted to a Toyota 1JZ (2500cc inline 6)

This car is my daily driver and I do some big miles in it.

Also, if you haven't already, you should get one of these to use with your V8 as they do like a drop of juice.
