Thread: Turbo or supercharger?

LPG injection!! Put a kit in a turbo patrol diesel and it worked like nitrous. Kits are by Bullydog I think from the USA. 9 Kg gas bottle in back and small regulator similar to a bbq unit into intake for engine, set up depends whether you want economy or power, has main switch to arm system and can be all the time or throttle position sensitive. Check online Google can fix all.

or trade it on a turbo one

Always wanted to try that.

Do both, it would be the fastest 4wd in town. Just make sure the bottom end can handle it.
GM diesels fare scream when turboed and blown.

Is it a mechanical fuel pump or electronic? I would recommend advancing the timing and fuel as well as an exhaust oh and remove the egr valve. I don't think the 5ls handle the 2l turbo set up like the 3ls do

Turbo it.

was it an sc14?

Not sure? was off a 1600 like the mr2 but not, overdriven with the biggest crank pulley I could physically fit,5psi at idle 12-13psi max. burying the boot from idle in second on tar would have the rears struggling for traction,low second on steep climes could drop back to 7-800rpm and pull away again where stock if it dropped below 2200rpm it died.

yep sounds like a sc14, i had one of those was gonna fit it but got the shits cus it was gonna take too long (i was an impatient young fella back then though). was it worth it you think? i hate how sluggish my ute is, and i like the idea you can turn them on and off. did you get it road legal?

Yes fully certed for supercharger, custom suspension, bar work, 33" tires custom offset wheels.

Yes worth it for the off road,would not do it again for a registered vehicle. Turbo it,much simpler and better result and more reliable for a road vehicle.
