I have the transfer case, both CV axles, and the front differential out of a 82 king cab. I also have 2 2wd tranny's for the same. I would like to trade for the same on a 85 4x4. One CV axle boot is torn but the rest of the boots look good. I am asking $250 for all...location is in Oklahoma Chuck

Hey Wayno, Sorry it's been a while but I did come close to completing the 720 SD22 turbo. I purchased the GT25 turbo designed for higher boost with lower rpm's and got an amazing 14psi out of that jewel. It helped the power alot but my greedy self got to far involved in modifing the IP. So I gutted the throttle body and made a mechanical lever on the IP. It as you would imagine did work but had idling issues or reving up issues. I could never seem to get it to idle. I assume it had something to do with the factory govenor. So I sold it not running because I jacked with the IP enough that I couln't get it to run anymore...sad outcome but I just purchased a 1985 kingcab 720 4x4 with a SD25 that is in great shape. It has the in-line IP that has the TB as well. I hope to get a VE pump for it later from Australia if I can find one so I can turbo up... Hope to hear from you...

Yes, but not real bad it's more heavy gray with a white puff when you first open the throttle body. I have the vaccum lines like this: one to the inlet before the turbo, and the other where the TB opening is (the factory way except the turbo inlet) firemedic

Here is the latest photo of the turbo and intercooler installed. I have removed this turbo and am purchasing a GT25. I think from what I have been told this will be a better fit than the T3T4 one I have now. Apparently I had a turbo that would only put out 2 psi of boost around 2,500 rpm. So I hope this one will offer more psi of boost at a lower rpm for the little SD22. This is what I had: Hybrid Turbo Charger: .57 compressor wheel trim mapped for low and high boost setups Oil fitting gaskets & mounting studs included Capable of producing over 450 horsepower Wet float bearings & properly balanced 3" inlet diameter with a 2" outlet 50 A/R compressor housing .63 A/R turbine housing 1/8 NPT oil inlet T3/T4 hybrid This is what I think I need: GT25 internal wastegate turbo charger: Intake :2.5 inch Outlet: 2 inch Compressor trim: .42 ar Compressor Wheel diameter: 60.05 /42.12 Turbine wheel diameter : 46.46 /53.20 Exhaust trim: .49ar Turbine flange type: t25 flange Downpipe flange type : 5 bolt type (will not fit sr20 down pipe bolt pattern) Cooling type: oil and water cool Actuator : set at 8psi Horsepower rating: 250-300hp+(wet float bearing) Still open for comments....... firemedic

What is a VE? And if I get one will my turbo work? I had a mechanic look at my turbo and said it should work........here is what it says! .57 Compressor Wet Float Bearings 3" Inlet 2" Outlet 50 A/R T3/T4 hybrid firemedic

OK, I have read posts until I feel nausious about throttle body's on the sd22. I have pictures coming soon for what I am seeing so I hope someone with knowledge can help me with my lack of boost from my turbo. I only have 2 psi coming through. I think from what I have been reading I should remove the butterfly from throttle body and reattach the housing minus the hoses from the IP. Then make the pneumatic governor manual with a lever. I realized I am restricting the flow of the turbo by having the throttle body hooked up. thus limiting the amount of exhaust generated. If this sounds close to right will somebody please let me know? firemedic

That would be awesome!!!!.......what do you want me to do? Firemedic

[is this a vacume pump?][Turbo fits tight might have problems hitting the booster][the power steering pump will fit nicely with just one custom bracket][OK, i got this thing to start in that position, can someone tell me where the middle position is?][the oil pan welded and currently holding oil] [need to drill new holes for the tranny mount] I will be starting the turbo piping and intercooler install next week and will post more pictures then. I started the beast today and had good oil pressure and had circulation of coolant. I installed a push button for the glowplug timer I will have to make sure I don't over heat them. Overall everything is going ok and should have a good test run in a couple weeks. firemedic

I have been trying to find another wiring harness for the SD22 but have been unsuccesful. Calhoon, do you have the harness make up ability for this SD22. As far as wiring I only have the original leads from the injector and glow plugs. Everything else is gone........ Sorry it has taken me a long time to get back I have been gone and will have some pictures of the oil pan conversion as well as my turbo kit I ordered. firemedic

Ok, thanks guys, I will work gaining information so I don't make a mistake. Also I need a diesel wiring harness now lol so if you know where one is at or who to talk to I would appreciate it. Anyone need a Z24 with a fresh carb rebuild! firemedic

Front end looks ok....sides are pretty good for an 83 model, what do you think? This is the front of the diesel tranny and the rear guts and housing after I changed out some bearings and a gear that was bad in the gasser. The diesel SD22 oil pan before I start the transformation....the SD22 looks pretty clean but I did find some rust on the crank.....I think it's ok Is anything you mentioned on the side of this block or is most of it inside the cab?

Yes, the 520 SD22 project. I have the oil pans off and are attempting it this weekend. I have been down with a Vasectomy over the weekend so I am feeling like getting out and getting dirty now so I will get those pics coming...about the wiring harness, I do not have one but was wondering if I could still make it work?

Hi, I am new and have been reading topics on the Datsun 510 gas to SD22 diesel engine. I also have seen talk of installing a turbo.....just wondering how that's going because I am doing something similar as well. I have a SD22 engine with 92,000 original miles I am placing in a 83 Datsun 4x4 that used to have a Z24 in it. I have plenty of pics so far. I will send some if anyone is interested. firemedic
