Running more boost? Get rid of that leaking POS dump valve... - Page 3

Kevin apparently has more than one D24 engine laying around, he didn' have a problem selling me a manifold.. I'm just waiting for him to get it off one of his engines. They are out at his parents place which is a little out of the way for him. Its not like its a huge rush.

I plan to probably keep the boost around the 15 mark with the cooler, unitill I get the ARP studs installed. My turbo can easily push 25+ lbs of boost efficiently. I have had it up to 20 with no problem and it wants to keep climbing, and that was only with the fuel screw bottomed out on the crimped on collar, I haven't even removed that yet and maxed the pump!

I think the original pump can deliver very much fuel. I dont think i am going to do something with the pump.

Well to over 200hp and more requires new 11mm liquidhead to pump.
Proven fact.

Jason- I ordered IC 4 days back, now just waiting it to start my IC-project,
with original manifold ofc. Going to run it on powerbench too,
to see how much hp and torque i get out with to3 and 1bar, and
tuned fuel pump, maybe we could compare our results when you
get your IC too, as the turbo being the difference?

Sounds interesting... Though I'm expecting your dyno will measure in Newton meeters right? Also, I need to get a manual swaped in before I go to the dyno or it will be waste of time. The torque converter slips alot and just throws power out the window!

Ah, lets hope you get one.
Oh yes, our dyno shows newtonmeters and horsepowers,
but they can be converted to counter USA standards.
By the way, what "section" do you use in USA to point torque?

Jason · #26 10-02-2009, 05:52 AM

US uses foot-pounds. Its easily converted to newton meeters. My manual swap is on the way. I finnaly sourced a turbo diesel M46 bellhousing and flywheel. I'm planning on buying the adapter and swaping in a mustang T5 manual. They can hold over 300 ft/lbs of torque in stock form (I converted it, thats a little over 400 nm), and are readily available around here, unlike the m46/47

You found an adapter? What else would be needed to complete the swap? Would it still be a cable clutch setup?

Jason · #28 10-02-2009, 03:28 PM

There are a couple places that sell the adapter... If you get the more expensive one, no machine work is required, and you use the volvo bellhousing along with the volvo clutch hardware like release bearing and the cable, since non of that would change. The only trick will be finding the correct diameter clutch thats the T5 mustang 10 spline. From what I have read on T-bricks the shifter location is pretty close, and with a little work to the shifter (building one that is like a "S" to get it back farther) its pretty decent. The rear mount will have to be custom, but I don't see that as a big deal. According to our supplier here at work, the diesel clutch interchanges with the B230FT turbo gas cars. However, the clutch kit with the disc is only shown to fit the diesel cars, so I'm guessing its the disc that different. I'll just have to measure the flywheel, and find a disc thats the correct size and center. I'll also find the specs for the diesel clutch thickness and compare to make sure I get correct clutch clamping force. From what I hear over on T-bricks, those guys use a 6 puck sprung disc with the turbo diesel p-plate and have good luck holding 250hp or better.

Try a t5 from a 94 or 95 the shifter is more rearward. The input shaft is also a little longer. I did the t5 swap in my 83 244 turbo. It shifts nice but a little more noisy than a m46/47. Have fun its not a hard swap I did mine 2 years ago and still going strong. John at vintage performance is very helpful

Jason · #30 10-16-2009, 06:30 PM

Thanks for the info.. I'm not worried about noise so much, I really only want to do the swap one time, and I know the M46 isn't going to hold up to how hard I run the car.
