The build is coming along nicely. You could save so much work with an intercooler with inlet/outlet on one side 🤷♂️ less piping to Deal with. Simplifies everything.
Jeff has a great ability to keep progressing. Sometimes good enough, is truly good enough when’s there is a long List of nexts. He is the opposite of analysis paralysis. Well done as always.
I agree on the pushlock hoses and fittings, they make for a clean installation. In the past I have fabricated diesel turbo inlet/outlet tubes for aviation applications. One thing you may want to add is an additional mount for the tube you piecut, cantilevered pieces subject to vibration are very susceptible to cracking, especially in aluminum. Just a simple stud/ spacer off one of the valve cover bolts to a tab on the tube would suffice, all you are trying to do is change the " moment" of the long tube. Great video as always, carry on!
Great progress mate. Its the plasma process that creates the hard edge on the hole, carbide will cut through it. I always up size the holes on thick stuff to account for the taper. Saves money on drill bits!
In terms of drilling the holes cut by the plasma … the plasma cutter creates a very hard surface that is almost untouchable by drills and files. Your idea to anneal the area was a good work around.
"Now we've got a running Frankenhauler......... it's time to fit a turbo...." that made me chuckle :) Essential Sunday morning viewing, in the UK! Cheers Jeff. :)
Great progress Jeff. Just a note on that oil T-adapter - keep an eye in how far out it sticks because the weight of the pressure sender sitting out there can cause them to crack with vibration over time. That said, the Raceworks gear is high quality so probably less of an issue.
That's a big intercooler for the old diesel. Might get some lag out of that. You somehow make these style videos look easy, I know how much work goes into these sort of builds so I definitely love the way you do it.
Great progress👍 i fitted a subaru TD04 turbo on a ford, loved the easy adaptor plate. As a note, do you need to fit a restrictor in the turbo oil inlet so not to much oil flow? Also with you aluminium fabrication abilities a section of hard pipe inlet may look better than a lot of angled hose fittings
You need the connect the breather before the turbo. Its the factory way. A turbo engine has more blowby and you need to pull that out, so yes the turbo will ingest some more oil.
About, the crankcase ventilation: put it directly in front of the turbo, I have a VR6 r32 turbo (it has about 40K km) which I done this way and it works fine. If the engine is ok, and not Kaput, there will be no noticeable oil in the intake pipes.
It might be worth looking into setting up a Nissan leaf battery pack , charging it from the grid or solar system, then using an off-grid inverter fed from the battery to supply heavy loads such as the compressor or plasma table . It would also give you an emergency power supply in the event of a power failure 🤔 . You can also run an off-grid 3 phase inverter to supply 3phase machines .
If you want accurate holes with the plasma cutter , then just get it to centre mark the holes and use a #2 centre drill to get rid of the hard oxides prior to drilling through. I wonder if you could fit a head for a laser cutter cutter/engraver to cut test pieces from card or plastic prior to making finished pieces 🤔
My 85 Mercedes diesel (California emissions equipment) has the breather hooked up to the top of the air filter housing, the filter housing is a huge canister that doubles as a catch can (the bottom of the canister is dished, you just wipe the oil residue out of the housing with a rag at every oil change).
Hey Jeff, unless you bought high carbon steel to make the adaptor out of it won’t harden, and even then the high carbon steel has to be non-magnetic heat and quenched in oil to harden. No way you can harden mild sterl
Great video. I actually wonder if a charge cooler would package there nicer.. but that would mean more plumbing for water and pumps. The intercooler will do the job perfectly.
Not a gear head myself, just love your work ethic, patience and breadth of skills! Young bloke I know says he decided against turbo-ing his diesel cruiser. He says the internet said it would kill his bottom end. Is that why you put new bearings in?
I might have miss heard, but thought Mrs Jeff was talking about a “juice” coupe, but I think it should be deuce, referring to the “2” in the 1932 Ford.
Maybe a good idea to blend the turbine inlet to the adaptor flange for or you will get quite a lot of turbulence. Also not sure you will need water cooling as the exhaust temps are much cooler than petrol engines (very high compression ratio and excess air).
I suspect those boys will get a proper circuit board printed once they've figured out what they want and it's working. Besides, I think Jeff would want it done this century :p Although, having seen the effort, I suspect they had lots of teething problems to overcome.
I wonder if I can get my wife to run through the history of Peugeot and if it would increase my subscribers? Doubt it. I need a good colab. Seems to be the flavour these days.
I appreciate the priorities you've established. There are no doors, seats, glass, fenders, hood, or headlights. Let's install a turbo. I would do it in the same order. You should do the sound system next. Then maybe a NOS kit and under-glow lighting. I love it. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, I'd rather make my life hard and put a bunch of sheetmetal in the way too, instead of having easy access. Best to also get the glass in now, while there is still a ton of work to do, so that can get damaged in the process.
In the Fun Facts I'm sure I hear Mrs Jeff talking about 'Juice Coupes'. It may be just an accent thing. I'm sure you know it's 'Deuce Coupe', 'doose' being American for a 2, ie meaning the 1932 models.
Hi mate the truck is looking sensational liking how it's coming along wishing you all the best with it so far and looking forward to seeing more videos. Mate did you end up getting the alpha sorted and registered
Great progress on the Turbo. Really came together quickly. The Routing through the Cooler is quite long and may leave it quite laggy. So could you turn the inlet manifold 180° so the pipework is downwards and cut your cast pipe back towards the Intercooler? Edit: Could you fit a Subaru Intercooler to go with Subaru Turbo🤔
So the inter cooled air will be routed behind the radiator? Could you mount the inter cooler vertically and have both in and out on the turbo side of the engine?
Why didn’t you take the time to keep the intake air on the opposite side of the turbo. That side of the engine is gonna get a lot hotter now, and your air intake temperature may suffer.
Small work like that on the drill press should really be clamped down. For that matter, any work should be. I could imagine this catching and spinning.😮😢
Jeff, in all the years we have watched you , very disappointing to see you use a cheap ebay turbo. 1 it will fail you when you put it under load 2 when it fails it will also damage your engine in a major failure which means new engine Go speak to Benny and he will tell you. I can't watch you do this to your project. Sorry for my comments but very concerned and speak from experience in using ebay turbochargers on tojo diesels. Epic failure.
Might be worth grabbing an intercooler with the in and out on the same side so you can simplify your pipe work to the drivers side
Great Sunday morning viewing over here in the UK with my 4 year old daughter, whose a big fan as you 'Sound like Blueys dad' lol. Keep it up
Al is the go to bloke for turbo advice. He's not called turbo yoda for nothing. He's an absolute wealth of knowledge..... and a cool bloke too.😅
Probably worth giving him a call about the intercooler
The build is coming along nicely.

I was thinking the same. Maybe some one with Toyota klowledge can gave Jeff some advice for a bolt on sollution.
Nice work Jeff but please look into intercoolers with both pipes on same side
Jeff has a great ability to keep progressing. Sometimes good enough, is truly good enough when’s there is a long List of nexts. He is the opposite of analysis paralysis. Well done as always.
The pace that you manage crank out videos astounds me. Great work!
Haha. I basically live in the shed.
Amazing build. Maybe would be easier if you get those intercoolers with inlet and outlet on the same side

I went with a stainless fitting over a brass one for that exact reason.
@@HomeBuiltByJeffits still do crack though... been there😅
Maybe i missed it… port match the exhaust flange adapter and the turbo housing 👍🏽
Yeah looks to be quite the step there..
Ciao dall'Italia a te ed alla signora Jeff, ossequi all'Algoritmo Misterioso!
Hi Jeff, I'm loving this build, like the last ones you've done.
This truck will be so cool!
Cheers mate 👍💪✌

Happy that the wipers are close/ ok. Great outcome. Cheers
Who else, besides me, wants Al to make a guest appearance and help finish the turbo installation?
Oh yes, let’s put some power to this monster, enjoying each and every minute of this Jeff cheers mate
You need the connect the breather before the turbo. Its the factory way. A turbo engine has more blowby and you need to pull that out, so yes the turbo will ingest some more oil.
My Sprinter engine does it this way, I've a catch can between the breather and the intake to try and keep the oil out of the intake / intercooler.
if you use the plasma to just "centermark" the holes and drill them after it gets a little easier
Great work Jeff. I did mention before about the AC condenser, hope you have room
About, the crankcase ventilation: put it directly in front of the turbo, I have a VR6 r32 turbo (it has about 40K km) which I done this way and it works fine. If the engine is ok, and not Kaput, there will be no noticeable oil in the intake pipes.
Jeff, if you're going to run air conditioning, you'll need to fit the condensor between the radiator and intercooler, too. 👌
Not necessarily. Can mount the condenser anywhere as long as its got air flow. Jeff has mounted them under the front guards in his 911.
It might be worth looking into setting up a Nissan leaf battery pack , charging it from the grid or solar system, then using an off-grid inverter fed from the battery to supply heavy loads such as the compressor or plasma table . It would also give you an emergency power supply in the event of a power failure 🤔 . You can also run an off-grid 3 phase inverter to supply 3phase machines .

I wonder if you could fit a head for a laser cutter cutter/engraver to cut test pieces from card or plastic prior to making finished pieces 🤔
Boost! That should give a little extra merging power.
Congrats on 200k! 🏆
Nice work jeff, coming along nicly
My 85 Mercedes diesel (California emissions equipment) has the breather hooked up to the top of the air filter housing, the filter housing is a huge canister that doubles as a catch can (the bottom of the canister is dished, you just wipe the oil residue out of the housing with a rag at every oil change).
good job Jeff 👍💪
Hey Jeff, unless you bought high carbon steel to make the adaptor out of it won’t harden, and even then the high carbon steel has to be non-magnetic heat and quenched in oil to harden.
No way you can harden mild sterl
You want a Mann ProVent separator and plumb the breather to the inlet of the turbo.
You could also source a 1HD-T crossover pipe from wreckers/marketplace
Turbo F600 sounds great to me Jeff
Intercooler piping would be so much simpler without the cross over pipe!
KISS is the design process you're thinking ov and it would look better as a bonus
@@johngibson3837 Just the small matter of modifying the intake manifold completely, keeping it simple...
Just wrote the same thing..
Can’t wait for more
Great video. I actually wonder if a charge cooler would package there nicer.. but that would mean more plumbing for water and pumps. The intercooler will do the job perfectly.
Thks for a great video as usual!👍
Really enjoying this series

Jeff and Al working bee day…
Love the 'bloopers'

Ideal time for morning coffee.
BTW
Have you seen how to solve cluster issue in your Alfarrari? Newest Project Binky episode comes with the solution!

Besides, I think Jeff would want it done this century :p Although, having seen the effort, I suspect they had lots of teething problems to overcome.
Cross over seems a bit pointless now the intercooler pipe is on passenger side.
Instead of re-designing the crosspipe you could relocate the flange on the intake making it pointing straight to the left side.
You should add a Y to the end of the lift name. 😂
The metal hardening is a normal occurrence with plasma and laser cut edges due to the heat.
Maybe get a cheap generator and hook it up to the compressor when you use the plasma?
👍
I wonder if I can get my wife to run through the history of Peugeot and if it would increase my subscribers?

No transmission shaft either....

Yea...it's Sunday again.
Hi mate the truck is looking sensational liking how it's coming along wishing you all the best with it so far and looking forward to seeing more videos. Mate did you end up getting the alpha sorted and registered
I would run low boost without the intercooler as it will be power enough and much better throttle response, simpler and neater layout.
Great progress on the Turbo. Really came together quickly. The Routing through the Cooler is quite long and may leave it quite laggy. So could you turn the inlet manifold 180° so the pipework is downwards and cut your cast pipe back towards the Intercooler?

So the inter cooled air will be routed behind the radiator? Could you mount the inter cooler vertically and have both in and out on the turbo side of the engine?
...or the intake on the left side of the engine?
They make intercoolers with inlet and outlet on one side 👍
You need the pin stops the centre of the turbo moving...
Another question for Al
❤️🔥H.B.B.J.❤️🔥
Boosted!
👏🍺👍🏻
So why do you bring the engine inlet to the other side of the engine and then route it back again to get to the intercooler? Be creative !
This is what I also wanted to mention: why the back and forth?
Why didn’t you take the time to keep the intake air on the opposite side of the turbo. That side of the engine is gonna get a lot hotter now, and your air intake temperature may suffer.

Thanks mate :D
Hi Jeff, l enjoy all your videos. Well done! By the way, what is the make of your cnc plasma and software you are running? Thx
Weldclass plasma cutter on a Langmuir table
Use a std landcruiser 1hz na cross over
Small work like that on the drill press should really be clamped down. For that matter, any work should be. I could imagine this catching and spinning.😮😢
In 24 years of running my 1HZ, I have never used the pump.....
Don’t use a catch can
Why turbo this so soon? I am a bit disappointed
Jeff, in all the years we have watched you , very disappointing to see you use a cheap ebay turbo.
1 it will fail you when you put it under load
2 when it fails it will also damage your engine in a major failure which means new engine
Go speak to Benny and he will tell you.
I can't watch you do this to your project. Sorry for my comments but very concerned and speak from experience in using ebay turbochargers on tojo diesels. Epic failure.
Benny and Al are the ones who suggested that exact turbo ;)
Great stuff as per usual on your channel!
Perhaps your next conversion could be to an electric drivetrain?
