JamesPT's Suzuki Vitara XUD9sd

[JamesPT]

Great start!

The turbo pipework looks like no intercooler?? Looks prime for one if there isnt though!

Looks like a lucas pump too

Yeah, your right, thats how they came Stock, no intercooler was needed on the Xud9sd, as it only ran max 0.6Bar (9psi),

It was prime for one, when I boosted to 1.5Bar!

My 2011 Xmas Gifts to myself.

missing from Photos is my Stack Boost gauge.





Snorkel(duh), K&N Apollo air filter, Intercooler, pipers etc ,Boost & EGT Gauge, Gauge pod, 8" MTX Powered Sub and other bit and bolts.


Also this happened:


For a Sidekick/Tracker/Vitara Owner, that actually Off-roads there truck, its like losing your virginity!
Until 96, Suzuki used Iron diff cases and 3rd members, After 96 they swapped to Alloy units to save weight, but they aren't as strong.
Took this as a Opportunity, and Swapped in some 5.125 gears (from 4.725) as I knew bigger tires are in the plans.
Also Swapped the Alloy front 3rd and Axle cases for Iron units from a 96.

Photos are better than words (sometimes) SO.... Photo DUMP!

The fan need to move down 5cm to not hit the IC, I want to use the original, which is 27cm (11in) , but I may have to use something smaller, 8in or 2x 8in. *For the Winter, maybe I didn't need it, but summer I will.

Also, in the works, is the Snorkel install, not started tho. just removed body panel.
