BOV can fix to turbodiesel...
heyya fella, i know this is a year story... but i wanna share u guy with BOV turbodiesel...i used to own a ford ranger model splash year'99(already sell it last 2yrs coz of buying new car)... an i have spend on mods almost rm30k on it including transmission... what i have mods is:-
1) fuel pump(mods it to bigger pressure and make it adjustable, easy to adjust it when u do next mods phase)
2) the clutch fan been open and replace to an electric fan(i use nissan F15 fan as it has 3 speed and do wiring system on its...(REALLY CHALLENGING DOING IT, BUT FUN BUILDING THE WHOLE PROJECT))
3)the oryginal turbine boost rod been modify to adjustable...(in my 1st phase mods, i used standerd boost(1 bar), 2nd phase mods was (1.3bar), then 1.7 bar then up to 2bar... the last try was 2.3bar but i did only for 5 days... then adjust it to 1.8 bar, afraid of damaged my engine for 6 times:_:
4)balanced engine, rebored cylinder and change to bigger piston(cant remember whats the size of the piston, but its the 2nd big in the list of the spec), lightening the con rods, and cranks sharp( these apllication been doing coz im only drive my ranger on the road not off road)
5) bigger intercooler( i just only remember, i used BLITZ intercooler... bought it 2nd but brand new(never been use by owner before, simpan saja, so i racun him!!)
6) full turbo piping with the same saiz of oryginal 2inch(stainless steel), HKS SSQV for evo 3(this is the 2nd change!!!!, before this using HKS turbodiesel BOV, bought from N1 racing but koyak after boosting it to 1.7bar)
7) all transmission gear with final drive been change... bought all those ratio from BKK, thailand. and the LSD too!! to match power - ratio and short shift too... with 1 feet of extension gear shift rod for easy shifting :regular_smile:
8) full exhaust pipe 2.3inch and change to bigger bullet
9) K&N drop in filter(change to bigger one, not oryginal size and custome box as well, the fillter box pipe to turbine was design like cone, and K&N engine breather too)
10) Old Man Emu suspension with medium compression spring leaf
11) bridgestone all-terrain tyre 245/60/16
12) pivot turbo timer and turbosmart bosst control model dual stage FG-GBCV-DS( low boost was setup 1.3bar and high boost was setup 1.8bar) and sard boost meter (with memory and 2.5bar view)
thats all bout my mods, bout the BOV, sound is loud at 1.3bar just like evo but at 1.8bar, the sound was really loud... most of my friend said, it sounds like supra... at the end of the sound can hear like glass breaking... the sound quite strange to me coz i have change the middle tips from its oryginal one!!!
personal test, 0-100km/h just take at 5.9sec, 0-400m at 14.7sec(still remember the best record eva, and i think its fast enough for my turbodiesel), top speed was out meter and i dont know what is the best speed but i hv great experience raced with GTI converted to EVO, EVO what number i dont know!! at yr 2000 from pusat bandar traffic light, sg buloh till shah alam!!!(to GTI convert driver, thanks being friendly and cleaned of racing with me:_: )
thats all i wanna share with u guys... to those who is interest on mods of ranger may contact me, i can recommand to my mechanic... cheers all fella...
