Thread: Diesel performance

Heres a pic of the dual core Koyorad radiator to keep the beast nice and cool.

Rigger what intercooler are you running must be pretty hefty did you get any photos of the pistons and rods what exhaust are you running Thailand special straight through

that is awesome I thought that the isuzu engine uses cylinder liners have you got any photos of the piston out
I wonder if you can increase the displacement stroker kit lol

What sort of turbo lag do you expect to get with a turbo that big?

Should be about the same as the smaller hybrid I had, thats why they make hybrid for quick spooling and higher boost, and matching the right exhaust turbine to make sure it will spool with the lest lag possible and still give enough boost.
If you stuck it on a standard engine it would be shit but seeing as I have a race manifold and straight out pipe, with large injectors and exhaust valves, cam, it will have enough to spool

and if all that fails you can always put nitrous just kidding

I remeber Philip talking about a stroked engine at one stage and the pics of pistons and rods were sent to my old phone so no pics.

Glad to see the engine coming along so well. I may be through your part of the woods in late December. Would love to have you show my kids what a "muscle car" really is. Or truck as the case may be.

bring your smoke mask just kidding

Saving that for last and only if I need a bit more on the drag strip, the little truck is already going to be real handful on the street, it was foking fast before at 361 HP and easly did 220 klm/h. 500 hp will be insane in such a light truck.

Just let me know a few weeks before and will see if I am going to be home.

What about traction?
All that power need to be put down on tarmac efficiently.

Fitting traction bars and will run Nittos on the street and will buy some nice fat drag tires for the track.

Rigger do you have any photos of your truck? I'm new to quite new to this forum and none of the pics at the start of your thread are working for me...

Really interested in what your doing mate

How about an open day at your workshop (with a bar provided) and I am sure a lot would visit!

Heres a few pics of the truck when it was at stage 3 with 361hp and 760 nm of torque

Looks great Rigger thanks. Look forward to seeing the new build

I can't wait to see this thing going have you got any videos of your old set up apart from the one you already have on YouTube what does the turbo sound like are you Australian I would love to be at a set of lights when there a V8 SS ute I would feel sad for the guy BECAUSE HE IS JUST ABOUT TO BE SMOKED literally LOL

Yeh I am a Ozzie, Had a few street races when it was at 361 hp and nothing came near it, many of the trucks all decked out like a race truck dont have anything under the hood.
I had a guy in a new camry try and race me at the lights I just took of normaly and he floored it, Flew past him once I hit third and was miles behind behind by the time I topped out at 220 klm/h due to gearing.
There really isnt many cars around to race. One of the expats at my kids school has a new convertable BMW he is first on the hit list.
The new gearbox and diff will give me a top speed of about 236 klm/h at 4500 rpm, might increse RPM to 5000 rpm

No vids of the stage 3 but Philip might do one in a few weeks as I wont be back for another 4 weeks

the truck should go a whole lot better with the new gearbox I've never like my standard gearbox in my dmax good for towing that's it first and second completely unusable I thought you need a monster vr to increase rpm however I know you can get some other mystery box that can do rpm I just want to hear this thing

yeh the new box has a long first gear so no more launching in second gear.

wheels look tiny on the truck...

Does it belch out black smoke under load?
