cologne 2.9 V6 turbo questions

i've looked for some polish adverts to search any turbine from a lorry...i've found something like this:

http://moto.allegro.pl/item518579040_daf_xf_turbina.html

it's from daf XF

but isn't it TOO LARGE? the price is quite good. i don't know if there is enough space under the hood

oh...one more question! where do you get from those large pipes which from you're making inlets to engines? i tried to find something like those you use, but it's quite hard

thanks and regards,
Daniel

You need to measure the diameter of the impellers first.
Something around 50-55mm inlett and 55-65mm on the turbine.

I quess you mean the pipes betwen turbo/intercooler and manifold/intercooler? we use exhast pipes

i'm searching for pipes like yours for almost a few hours and i'm unfortunately unable to find it is its diameter 2,5 or 3 inches?

will 40mm wastgate be proper or it should be bigger?

from which car could i take injectors which will be big enough?

thank you for your patience

Surely you must have a store in Poland that have pipes to build your own exhaust system? I depends but mostly 3 inch but some 2,5 inch

40mm will do but 50mm is better

From a car that have 350cc injectors. BMW M5 E34 for example

of course, there are stores with steel assortment, but i'm not so sure if they have exactly or very similar pipes..but it shouldn't be big problem i'll find something proper thanks for answers!

Hi! I have two engines, one is 2,9 v6 107 KW and the second 2,9 v6 110 KW. Which engine is better to turbo?
Excuse me for my english.

the engine with the lowest compression, i guess that the 107kw have Catalytic converter? It´s usually the engine with the lowest compression

I found a Holset turbo for sale.
Here is the link: http://racing-bazar.hu/alkatresz/feltolto/holset_turbo
I translate the sellers text "I want to sell 1 Holset turbo for truck or what you want, but it's really big! I don't know any specs or data of it but it was surely never used. If you interested call me...."
One of the pitcures there is a number on the turbo. Can anyone guess somthing from it? Is it suitable for My 2.9 V6?

Excuse me again for my bad english!

It´s hard to say, there is a number on the blue sign that tells what it is. Then thera is a number in the turbine inlet that says how big the turbon house is

Check these before, and ask him the measure the diameter on the compressor wheel and turbine wheel

Thank you. But I called the seller and I missed it. It was sold.

HI! Is it k27 too large for fitting in your devices? Like i understand is k27 inlet 70 and outlet 60?

K27 will work. But you have to measure the impellers not the inlett diameter

All i can say is wow, never knew these motors would take this much power on stock internals.

Im currently planning to make my mk1 capri into a daily driver, part of that includes "modernizing" it, the current stock car is a 1.6 xflow automatic ) plan is to fit the 2.8 x-member and fit the 2.9 motor complete with new auto box (any idea how large these are compared to an old borg warner 35?) ...

Anyway i was worrying about finding a the cosworth 24v version of this motor for more power while trying to keep costs down, but after reading here and seeing ur vids ill be going with the 12v (nice n cheap) and eventually setting it up with a turbo system.

Great site and great work guys keep it up

The stock engine can easely handle 350hp with good reliability and in a Capri that kind of power i´ts extremly fun

The problem will be the automatic, i dont know what will fit or if it will withstand the power and tourqe (500-550nm / 360-400Lbft)

Mikael What kind of map sensor do you use in the sierra? And what is the fuel consumption of the car at normal driving style (if you can behave yourself with that power under the bonnet ) in city or travelling around 130 kph? Another question:
My car earlier was automatic and the engine radiator is remained the automatic version wich have a separated part for cooling the automatic transmission oil. Can I use this part to cool the engine oil before the turbo oil inlet?

The integrated sensor in the Megasquirt.

Fuel depends on the map, around 1 liter at normal driving.

Use a seperate oilcooler, the water is around 90 degrees so it´s not cooling the oil that much

I got a turbo now. I think it will be good for my 2.9. I bought it from a man who wanted to put in an audi S2 2.2 for drag racing. Andt it's not a used one What do you think about it?
And can I open an english projekt topic in projekt forum or I should open one in here the English section?

Yes that will be good for a 2.9 engine. You can show us you project in the project forum if you like

I hava a question. Will someone from sweden make me a plug and play megasquirt ecu for 2.9V6 engine which I simpli can replace with stock ecu when the engine is already turbocharged by myself? If yes, how much will it cost for me?

hi, will it be good to use 2.4 block and 2.9 heads to get les compresion, so i can use more boost. what yuo think about that?

It´s unnecessary, with good mapping the engine can handle well over 1bar (14psi) with a completely stock engine. you will lose power with less volyme so i don´t like it

i have a similar turbo, but it is k25 bit smoler will it be good for 2.9?

I dont have time to make one, it´s so simple so you can make it yourself

No it isnt:D
