It has been six or seven months sinceI looked at a power upgrade.I have finally had it done. Same as Brenden. I haven't had it dynoed yet but
can notice the extra power down low, I can't see any diferance at high revs,no extra top speed. I live in Bunbury WA and can travel up the Collie hill and
hold 7KPH faster than i could. On the beach it is so much better and can run
with higher tyre pressure, also high range. I managed to conquer a sand
dune that has beaten me before, it appears to have more low down grunt. I
must admit the sand has a bit more moisture in it now from when I played
last time but it is early stages yet and i can notice the difference. I haven't got
the bill yet, not a cheap exercise.

I meant to mention thatI heard that all the engines that arrived at the OKAfacory were Dyno'd and not many came up to spec but the best ones were
put in the coaches and the less powered ones were put in the cab chassis.

Got the bill yet Ewart? I'm going to get mine pulled apart next week to see
what shape the turbo is in (220K km)... then I have to decide whether to do
the intercooler thing too.Did you get a water-to-air intercooler? Brand? I see Brendan Eblen also put
on a larger Garrett turbo.

Hal,I had a lot of work done so the bill is huge but it looks like he spent 16hours to fit the new turbo and intercooler, he also had to get a few extra parts
as he plumbed it a bit different to Brenden's. It is the same turbo and
intercooler as Brenden ( air to air).
If he did it again it would be easier for him. He is very thorough.
I will be out of touch for a few days but hope to get it on the dyno in a week
or so and may be try and work out what the turbo /intercooler cost me.Ewart

I've started collecting up intercooler info in the hope of being better informed,
but it looks like everybody does it differently! Peter Furlong's and Tim
Forsyth's are in the Mods & Repairs section here.
There's also a good overview article at ExplorOz.

WellI got the oka back and had it dynoed. the torque is up by about 5% andHP is down by 5%. the fuel to air ratio went up to 30, my mechanic talked to
the turbo guys and they said that it is impossible. I took it back to the
mechanic and he chacked a few things and all was ok. They think the
reading is wrong. He cranked the fuel up to 15psi boost and it has a heap of
down low torque (seat of pants) no diferance up top, 115 kpr max. Went up
Collie hill at 70 kpr thats 6 kays faster.(12Ks all up)may get another dyno inperth latter. It has cost me around 6K
