Twin turbo

[kanny351]

Has anyone done a twin turbo set up on 1kd-ftv? A little turbo that's spools up quickly and a larger one to keep the power up. Have to get rid of the electronic waste gate

no one i know i know of on here, it would be a ton of work and expensive. End of the day its still a diesel hilux not a GTR

Lol that's it. The new vw 4wd comes out twin turbo I was thinking something like that

the theory behind it is good but geting it all to work properly is the hard part and the expencive part. Also when you take into consideration you will need a bigger intercooler top or front?, spagetti of piping, alterations to the ecu or even a new ecu, new turbos, tuneing costs i dont see much change in 30g.

And for about half that cost you could drop in a V6/V8 diesel conversion

yes...in thailand theres a few kits and from what ive heard the performance is absolutely phenomenal!

We may, or MAY NOT be looking into a twin turbo set up for the 1KD-FTV.

Wonder how much a set up like that would be worth? No point putting a bigger turbo if it's going to be a lag monster and only good for straight lines lol

This twin turbo set up on the D4D will be very expensive... to be honest I doubt we will have a retail customer willing to spend the amount of money required to buy the kit and install it.

It's not just the 2 new turbo's, piping and intercooler. It's the tuning modules needed and the set up that will makes this kit only really viable for a few mining boys with too much money, or race teams looking towards the D4D.

Bottom line is that the D4D is a 3.0L diesel. I repeat a 3 litre diesel.

The power and torque these little motors will create with a good chip, exhaust and intercooler is very impressive. 150rwkw and well over 500Nm is a lot of power and torque, IMHO more than enough.
The hunt for more grunt is always a expensive and dangerous path to follow. You will break stuff if you push these D4D's hard, I know because I have pushed them hard and broken stuff.

Reliability and drivability are the major issue ... if you're chasing big power get a V6 and supercharge or turbo it.
Much safer and loads more power than you will ever get from a hot rod D4D.

This is the path MR is walking down... chase big power from the V6 petrol... be happy with the chip/exhaust/intercooler upgrade set up on a D4D.
