I currently am in the process of just finishing up swapping my freshly rebuilt aaz into my Tacoma. its got:
arp head and main studs
holset he221w turbo with 5.5cm housing
giles pump
modified g60 intake
Now before even driving it I know I want more power and efficiency from a tdi. I built the aaz for a samurai which is kind of limited on the power it can handle. Plus my giles pump was built for a smaller turbo and I know its not capable enough to take advantage of the holset. The $1400 giles wants for a rebuild I could get another motor setup and just sell what I have now and get the cost to swap everything recovered, plus it still wouldn't make as much power or be as fuel efficient. Now that its in a heavier and stronger Tacoma I want more from it.
Tomorrow I am picking up an alh with 256,000km on it. Its missing the injectors, turbo and ecu, but it comes with the wiring harness and an 11mm pump and its fairly cheap. My plan is to do a quick and dirty "rebuild" over the winter. Basically just rings and bearings and carry over the arp studs from the aaz if everything checks into spec. Possibly a port and polish of the head.
I'd like to keep it electronic. What sensors would I want to keep and what can I delete (along with emissions) from the stock harness?
Now here's the fun part and what im thinking I want to do. Compound turbos with a k03 and my he221w. The truck is a rock crawler and the faster I can get it to spool the better itll push around heavy tires.
What size injector nozzles would I want to run with this setup?
How much power can these handle reliably without investing a ton into rods and pistons?
I know my aaz cam is more aggressive then the alh cam. I've read aftermarket cams can cause the valves to hit the pistons. Is the aaz cam safe/worthwhile to carry over?
I need to read more into compounds but whats the best way to set them up? Would an external waste gate between the turbos be ideal to limit boost from the k03 and reduce backpressure? Can Malone or the other tuners build tunes appropriate for compounds or would that be more of a local dyno tuner kind of thing?
