With Japanese engines the motor build is different between a turbo and non turbo model. Pistons have small combustion chambers for non turbo and turbo have larger combustion chambers to lower the compression and much thicker under the bowl to accommodate that added pressure. They have oil jets that squirt up under the piston crowns to cool the combustion chamber in each cyl. An after market turbo can be installed but must run at much lower boost pressure than a factory turbo engine. When I bought the new pistons for my Mazda 3500 engine I had to sign a waiver that the engine did not have a turbo fitted and there was no warranty on the pistons or other components supplied if an after market turbo was fitted at a later date.BruceS wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 7:11 pm There are quite a few different turbos but only a few different internals.
I suggest before anyone goes & buys a new turbo they check out if it can be reconditioned as Dot says.
I think John's bus doesn't have any turbo at all?..... yet!
If the motor has a lot of km's on it it might be a gamble to turbo it at all.
The fuel pump most likely will need setting to 'compliment' the new turbo?
