Custom Turbo Setup Last Updated June 18th, 2003 Also Check Out Picts of the:
I purchased my turbo off a Mitsubishi 6DR5 diesel engine that Royal Rose had installed into his FJ55. The 6DR5 is almost an identical engine to the 2H that was in my truck, same displacement, similar power curves, almost identical fuel pump, just everything was reversed, the exhaust was on the passenger side. Royal had installed the motor into his FJ55 and several months later he began to experience severe problems due to cracks in the head and pistons, so he pulled the engine and had an aftermarket turbo charger that would be perfect for my truck. The turbo is a RaJay model which is a common aftermarket company used mostly in industrial applications. Though it is not waste-gasted it is actually a great fit to the non-piston bottom cooled HJ60 because it only puts out up 10 psi when pushing it at this altitude. At average highway speed (65-70 mph) at 2500 rpms with a custom 2.5" exhaust it puts out about 4-6 lbs of boost. For recommendations on where or how to find a turbo for your diesel engine, I would first try local junk yards. Gasoline turbo chargers make work in some situations but this is not always the case. Here are picts of the conversion
