Wind the throttle stop off.
If you give it more fuel, you do just that, because Diesels are throttle by fuel, then by giving it more fuel you have just raised the idle speed.
If you undo the cable, and undo the lock nut then screw the threaded rod back till you find an acceptable level.
If you drive it normally you probably won't notice the fuelling, but if you rag it , it will rev higher.

haven't a clue what the EGT is at! I'm adjusting fuel by eye(smoke test)  - it really needs setting up properly at a famous Independent Vw T3 & T4 specialists Wink

update - after an oil leak started on the outer block i fitted an ACV steel HG, but after coolant pressure issues i've noticed it has less water holes than the ABB fibre HG Clap doh!
now fitted a steel triple notch steel AAB HG, problems solved but it really does need the 5th gear mod now

I'm keen on having a go at this but a little concerned about the possibility of over stressing my engine.  My 60 mile daily commute could do with a little more help on the hills but not at the sacrifice of my engines longer term health. D&D do you think your recent woes are due to the turbo addition?

Cheers,

Dan

I'd honestly say no. Most turbo engines run a steel gasket to accomodate the pressure & I was always going to swop the ABB fibre gasket following the conversion, the fibre gasket is pants. On removal it was clear that it was more than likely the original at 96k, these are renowned for blowing anyway. I know of several people running this conversion at 1.0bar with no issues, i'm only running 0.5bar which has transformed its performance. I also know of someone running two 3 notch triple steel HG's which reduces compression down to ACV spec & allows him to run a Volvo turbo at high pressure.

cheers for the reply.

I'm more and more tempted by this, my problem is going to be finding the time to source parts and do anything about it. To be honest I'd probably be better off coughing up for someone else to do it.

Hi guys!! havent been on here for a while and just come across this turbo conversion and read the topic with great interest..... as the 2.4d are gutless when it comes to hills and the do need a kick up the arse....the only thing that worries me with said conversion is fueling at the higher end of the rev range under boost..friend of mine said about 2.4 turbo diesel toyota hi lux pump so might have to look into that ???
Yea! What ever....!?

Great work D&D!

Any chance you could post a full list of all the parts numbers, including the pipes and hoses? I'd also be grateful for more explanation of how you adjusted fueling, and what you're on about with the head gasket thing. I'm a diesel newbie, 'tho I've successfully stuffed a Jetta 1.8 into a T3 westy.

I have a coachbuilt with the 2.4D, and since I live in mountainous British Columbia, I've got a bit of an issue with hills...

its not stainless, just plain ole steel. when you order a gasket you will be offered a choice of three, pick the steel one Wink
