Into a "mild scramble" mode to get ready for The Ohio Mile. New turbo, 3" exhaust, bigger injection pump fed by a bigger electric "pusher" pump, as well as a few minor tweaks to make the whole package of race truck and trailer work better are under way.
Here are a few pics to show some work....
3" exhaust. It's complete now, but I didn't take many pics. While 3" may seem like overkill for a 1.5L turbodiesel, the "next" engine, and possibly the "next" one after that will be able to take advantage of the free breathing.
This is the new HE200WG turbo, after porting the exhaust housing (basically gasket matching), re-clocking the oil drain and compressor housing, and adding a bracket to re-locate the wastegate actuator. This turbo should be an excellent match for the higher capacity injection pump, and will support more power in the future.
one last pic, just because garage selfies are fun, and to let any of you recognize me if you are in attendance at The Ohio Mile in June.
