Supercharging the Trol

[makeitfit]

And this :

So it would seem in that application it runs as the first part of a sequential set up and stops via clutch at 1500 rpm when a turbo goes It alone to the 2500rpm ish redline

So as long as u get the gearing right it will be brutal

Cheers mate,I'd sort of got that far but cant seem to make the leap to the actual s/c data
It should have plenty of wind avail for the trol which really max out at 3000 rpm anyway.
Once I get a bit of LPG stuffed up it 2500 will be mental I promise :naughty

Is it driven the correct way ? As it looked like it was driven from the gear box side on the Volvo ?

you don't want it running backwards and sucking

Our fire engine's a Volvo FL6 and goes like hot snot, glad I don't have to pay for the fuel though :augie

 

[makeitfit]

I don't think it matters which side it's on as the rotation will be the same.
In that pic it looks like the output is on the top, what you think? Also the whole thing is mounted 90 degrees off the plane I thought would have to be on, so that makes it easier I think for mount position :thumbs

Could you get me a few shots of the engine bay please. I've trawled through thousands of fire engines and bin lorry sites but cant get the engine info :doh
"Hot snot" my new fav phrase

Here's a pic of this engine less the blower and fuel pump

U can see the fan on the right of pic. It looks to be driven from front of engine judging by these 2 pics and the ( i presume smaller top hose ) must be the outlet side, that goes over engine thru turbo, then across front through intercooler back over this way into inlet manifold ... I think

this is a very complicated issue, well beyond my well inebriated brain, I wish you luck, I do have a lathe and several bottom pulleys albeit from petrol engines but would guess they are the same, so if I can help give me a shout, Rick

Sorry just caught up, it is a 4.2 Patrol so most certainly my pulleys will be no good, but I do have a lathe, also bear in mind your pulley will have a rubber damper sandwich so welding is not an option, I am not sure of the reason for the damper as memory failed on this issue but I have a feeling it is to do with certain frequency vibrations that can break a crankshaft, could well be wrong but worth investigation, I do know that when I ran a cam belt on my narrow boat to drive a 150 amp alternator 10 inch pulley on camshaft and 2.5 inch on alternator vibrations were set up but the old Lister was beefy enough to cope, Rick

Here you go Rick 1st idea seems to be the way from Australia :thumb2
That'll do me

I wish I could but work shops take them in for servicing and it a big job to get the cab raised on one of them.
I will ask the guys in the work shops, if they have any data or photos

Looks good, do I take it that on your motor the air con drive is the front most pulley of the three, and the drawing is not too clear on the position of the rubber coupling, are you not locking it all up with the extra bolts? Rick

 

[makeitfit]

The balancer is bolted to the back of the existing Nissan pulley. Then a new bit is turned to fit IN the pulley and secured by the same bolts. The new bit allows the s/c pulley to bolt on to something. So original balancing goodness remains and new (probably offset) pully bolted onto the front. It should be fine :thumbs I've also found a few conversions done with twin V belts admittedly smaller s/c but the load isn't that bonkas :augie I hope :lol

 

[solarman216]

OK sounds the business, think you would struggle with twin vees on the small size of pulley you have on the TC, I remember on the Commer TS3 the TC was driven by a 3/8 diam good quality steel shaft and they broke rgular, Rick

 

[makeitfit]

Yeh I'm going poly V mate

 

[solarman216]

yes noticed that was on the TC, Rick

 

[makeitfit]

New year and no rain , whoop bloody whoop So I actually got some spanner time today :thumbs
Made some space to dry fit the s/c Loads of room here

Somewhere round here should do it as the intake lines up reasonably well AND the nose will clear the existing belts up front :clap

Brackets now mocked up, they'll be bolted onto the exhaust mani :thumb2

This side will hold the s/c on iy's existing mount points .

A bit like this

That'll be repeated for the rear end of the s/c too. Steel bending tomorrow me thinks :naughty

 

[stinka]

Awesome

Can't wait to see next instalment :thumb2

 

[solarman216]

as stinka says cant wait, Rick

 

[melissachels]

as stinka says cant wait, Rick

GOD THATS A BEASTIE!!!!! U would be well prowd of me 2day, temp fix, transit brake pads on a terrano!! well theres no parts store open :augie

 

[solarman216]

would you like a TC then Mel? and what's this with Transit break pads, Rick

 

[melissachels]

a tc? well me slider got seived & the pad got jammed in the caliper :naughty
