Safe turbo boost on LD28?

[Kolatogari]

HI guy's, Since I canceled my plans for TD27t conversion on my Range Rover, I'm going for my old LD28 I had in my old Rangeie. Having all adaptors redy, i'm planing on putting a turbo on her. the turbo is from MMC 2,5diesel. What would be the safe vs power boost i could have? It was a little sluggy in my old one, but a small boost would make it nice. At least nicer than the Guttless Rover v8

So. 6psi? 10psi? 8psi? 30psi?

Guess i'll make the exoust manifold myself. Feel free to speak.

Hi Kolatogari,

What is an MMC 2.5 diesel out of? A fella I know that does a bit of turbo work and calculations recommended I look for a T25 Turbo off the CA18DET Nissan motor and set the boost to no more than 9psi. I don't know where or how he calculated these but he seems to know what he is talking about in other situations.

If I was to go this route I would be tempted to give it a go as he said but I cannot find the ready money as yet to do this so it is on the list still...

I have built a 3 inch steel pipe intake/snorkel for mine (still have stock filter) and installed a 2.5 inch exhaust pipe keeping most as straight as I can under a Land Rover 110 chassis. Seems to assist easy breathing quite a lot better over stock.

Make sure you take pictures - didn't happen without pictures

Cheers,

Phil
