Holset VNT turbo

[TimpanogosSlim]

fwiw i think it's not that VNTs don't perform well on the big cummins, it's that the vanes get stuck, and THEN they don't perform well

I don't know if anyone is considering doing this, but be trust me, it needs to be compounded with a smaller turbo to even have a chance being fairly drivable. It might work well if drag racing is the cars' only purpose. You can close the vanes so far that it lowers the volumetric efficiency enough that it won't rev, but it's still miserably slow to spool.


Newb account won't let me link to the full size picture :-/ Probably for a good reason.

what car and engine is this?


and yes, this turbo is absolutely too big except for in a compound setup

what car and engine is this?

The car is an AMC, and the engine is, well... a 1.6d ME TDI?

Are they considered direct injected after you gut the throttles in the head, ...

and adapt new injectors into them?


I don't really wanna hijack this guy's thread even though it's ancient, but I have an idea of how to spool it without compounding it. It just take time. Well time to make money, a fair sum of money. :-(

please make a thread detailing your build, that car is very very interesting

I agree.  I want to see more.
