- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ต.ค. 2023
- TD42's are a legendary diesel engine powering Buses, 4wds and Forklifts across the globe. They aren't without their problems though. One of the key ways to keep your TD42 reliable and cool is to select the right injection pump and tune it correctly.
In this episode we take our freshly built TD42 turbo engine to Evolution Tuning to get the fuelling and injection timing calibrated for a clean running, powerful and economical TD42. Yes it is possible.
This specific combination consists of a Factory spec Turbo TD42, All States Diesel 11MM Injector Pump, GT28/63 Turbocharger and a Plazmaman Water to air intercooler.

Does Chris have a TH-cam? Not interested in other Socials. Cheers, great video.
those big window visors are the goofiest thing i've ever seen
@@brushitoff503he has
thanks, excactly what I was looking for. I'm up in Woodford.
Put a Spal pusher fan on the front of the heat exchanger for low range work. I have a FMIC and fitted one wired to also come on/off with a/c, on when i want it on and off (regardless of air con, for water crossings) with a three way switch.
The $150 one will fit between the bonnet latch support and grill. The $350 1500cfm unit requires grill clearanceing(significant) to fit, but the static pressure performance is so much better it's technically worth it.
Gus is quite lucky to be able to be included and learn so much from such good people.
He is, but the attitude to wanna learn is more important.
Between the skid factory and 4wd24/7 I’m over here googling “td42 patrol for sale in USA” as fast as I can 😂
I watched this with a good mate of mine who is a diesel fuel injection specialist and he said this was a great explanation on how to tune a diesel with a mechanical pump. Decent numbers from an 11mm, we saw 220hp and 812nm reliably on 33's with a custom 12mm setup and gturbo combination at 28psi, still going 7 years later, the td42 is somewhat underated if setup and tuned properly. Love the number plate too by the way 😉
How many km though?
@@jarrod1687one had 210k on it when we did the setup and last time I heard it had over 350k on it, gets sent in dunes, tows a boat and did a trip part way round Aus
Yeah nice 👍
Great video guys as usual.
Such a cool thing you have done for your lad. Well done Al.
Another great epp guys for sure loving the content take care lads and enjoy.
That's what I love about this channel, so much variety of cool shit! 👍😎
Really appreciate the editing on this one, audio was well done. Thanks :]
This channel is one of my favs, def underrated for the content and knowledge you can gain. LOVE IT! 💯👌🤙🍻
12:35am here in California, ready for some Skid Factory !!
Mad bro its just before 6pm here in Aus

@@YessirPauly Car guys are everywhere !! I've always wanted to go to Australia, maybe 1 day.
@@i976scirocco3 come to Aust brother! Be a mad experience for ya
Seen a couple of zd30 vids of evolution tuning very helpful
Love tsf so much, having people that have experience and the know how is unreal to watch and learn things from!
1.3k views in 14 minutes. Where's the likes people? C'mon, slap the thumbs up for Woody and Al. 👍🙂🦘
Kenoath!
Needs more lemon squash!! 😂😂
This comment made me think, they deserve it 100 percent thanks to you they got mine
Gu5i3 plates 👌 and wicked episode. Thanks guys
Thank you so much for being the best automotive channel on TH-cam.
Always learning with you boys... I absolutely love the channel and look forward to seeing you boys taking Gus off-road
Great video lads. Learnt more as usual. Thanks to Chappy for making some informative zd videos on his channel as well. Found out my swirl flaps were stuck shut from his videos.
Awesome license plate!
You two are my favorite Aussie automotive TH-cam creators (Motive being a close 2nd)🎉. Plus, in my top 3 overall channels straight up. Thank you for what you post, I always learn something new. Al, you’re brilliant! Woody, your enthusiasm and appreciation for the quality of filming, editing, and occasional work instruction is always leveling up! You guys are extremely motivational, to me, after watching your videos/episodes. I recently picked up a “91” Toyota Soarer(factory r154 manual) for cheap and I’m currently rebuilding the 1jz with a few upgrades 😉 (I live in Florida by the way). If I could afford to I wouldn’t hesitate to support you with some $$, but due to circumstances it’s not possible. I wanted to show my appreciation for your work, so once again “Thank You & keep building peoples dreams, it’s f’n badass”🔥😎🏎️🏁
Agree
Have you heard of Mighty Car Mods. They'd be top 5
@@mickiemaccamoo they lead me to the Skid factory long time back. I like them but they post far between and don’t get as detailed. Plus, they turned into a mini top gear and I prefer TSF down home feeling.
@@manarchy6727 fair enough. you must admit that MCM has a lot of big projects though
@@mickiemaccamoo they do and I still appreciate what they do! Just relate more to TSF
I think Chappy was making this sound much easier than it really is. But I appreciate it.
Great episode boys. This along with the explanation from @timmyhasheart have taught me a lot about td42s.
Also we need more paj please woody. Xx
I actually really appreciate the explanation about the interaction between upping fuel and turbski relationship
Great video as always gents! 🙌
Chappie's a natural in front of the camera, super relaxed - does he have a TH-cam channel too?
Chris is the man, he got my 4B singing well. He has great knowledge and good mechanical sympathy, he knows where the limits are and always keeps things safe as 😊
👍 nice build awesome father and son project.
My 50cents on pump tuning is use a dial gauge when setting pump timing so you know exactly where the sweet spot is.
Nice first car. Back in my day ...
love the videos!
Love the new intro 🤙🏼
The episodes are just not long enough fellas. The videos are just brilliant. Never stop posting content
They're brilliant because they don't pad their content in hopes of racking up hours.
Ive seen it on a 10mm td42 NA where more timing was more better but it was N/A and blowing unreal smoke (about 14 afr). Got 80 horse out of it! Haha. (Stock was 45).
Since then its become turbo and with less timing and the fuel wound all the way it, 90hp.
Also saw it on a td27 where it was only gaining power with more timing till we ran out if range, was planning on moving it over one tooth but ended up leaving it there
Guys, you're great. First time I've seen your projects on TH-cam translated in Russian by the same team who translates tho most popular videos by MCM. unfortunately my English isn't good enough to understand all the special terminology, but I'm trying to. Best regards from Russia.
Because of this build I run one of Lindsey’s split pulse manifold with a twin scroll GTX3067 and turbosmart 38mm gate (plumbed in). Boost control augmented by Gizzmo.
How'd you find it? I'm torn between going a ufi 11mm and 18g etc the manifold etc but don't want to push any more than 22 pound.
@@Nick-sd7um why not go 18mm with 18G?
It’s a quality product that fits well. I haven’t had a chance to tune it since install and am in hospital atm.
Cool P plate car well done.
This is a smart diesel tuner
Mmm... a good tuner would've used a dial indicator to set pump timing.
That's some monstrous torque!!! Well done guys!
450lbft
@@lutherblissett9070 yes...for 190HP engine, doing over 600nm is amazing.
Just so you know, not everybody on the internutz lives in USA where everyone and their grandma are driving v8 engines to shop for bread on the corner's bakery.
I drive my 2.2 Vito van, carrying all kinds of construction cargo, that has less than 3 times the TD42's torque, and holy hell the bullshit I put that van through, never skipping a work day!!
@@JohnWiku You guys still have bakeries? ☺
@@JohnWiku I second what you're saying. They've built this thing to last and it's got plenty of power for what it needs. TH-cam car culture really ruined peoples expectations on builds, everyone thinks high power is the only goal.
Nice results ! I put the UFI radiator fan from patrol a part on my TD ute just to see the difference from factory fan. More blades and better blade angles, drawing more through.
Worth its value👌 something to consider 👍
It has a Patrol A Part G35 fan and new genuine clutch.
Ahh beauty ! All over it boys
@@theskidfactoryI’m going to be that td guy, but those g35 fans suck ass, ufi fan and clutch all the way 🙏
Would love to see a 4wd video!
Some nice beard tuning Chappy’s done there 👌
450 ft-lbs of torque is wild to me, I’d kill for my 1/2 ton truck to make that. I’m sure it’s make hauling trailers around so much easier
So it's just like tweaking a carb needle (pump plunger) and turning the distributor (pump timing). Al loves carbs.
Lots of torques
Those are impressive numbers.
More so, with it not being tuned to the edge.
I reckon a Toyota V8 diesel would be a sick swap, especially in an old troopy. But I dunno what the electronics are like, maybe its just a safer bet to buy a secondhand 70 series
The problem with Josh’s tune on that is Gus still ain’t getting the moot … 💨
The ole 10mm Allen key between the manifold gauge
Good power for a youngen
Welcome to the Skid Factory, this week we're installing compound turbos on Gusi's patrol..
Seriously, when is the 300ZX coming?
Very Thoon
@@theskidfactory might have a donation for you guys, anyway to contact you to send pictures?
Drink everytime we see where it's happy
paw paw called , he wants his window visors back !!
Gus is gonna love scooting around the bush is this beast. I bet he already knows this but Gus is one luck young fella to have such awesome parents/extended family! Take note from this old fool, no matter what you do in life, you will only have one go at it...
You are limited with standard elements, ultimately you need more fuel over the same duration as generally turning pumps up lengthens the duration/ dwell but any more than 32 degrees will just make smoke.
Dpuk explains this perfectly.
With bigger elements you can double that power figure.
Also change governor spring for more rpm......in fact just direct control the rack and don't bother with a governor!
Put a longer duration cam in too and balance it etc.......7000rpm? Lol
number plate reveal 👌
Coming from an all mechanical carby on my 1987 audi, i'd love an EFI for the easy/cheap repairs (just swap parts..),
but mechanical diesels are still the cool shit. When the tech comes from industrial working equipment even better. Hate throwaway planned lifetime tech..
I make this suggestion and no-one thinks I'm a genious but why doesn't some genious convert a front wheel drive car to proper rear wheel drive, maybe a pipe for a tailshaft and cut and shut for diff etc, I don't frigging know, you're the genious
oooooooooft ! diesel goodness
Hi guys, I´d like to know how hot are the EGT´s whit that power.
Question is, if there is no soot will Gus still get some moot?
HP and NM is also the german way, so it is actually the best way
But you guys do liters per 100km which is absolutely infuriating to people used to km per liter and it's always an absolute nightmare to get German cars to default to that. Every time there's a software update it reverts and the mechanic needs to fight with it to not go back every time the car is turned off.
Grommets getting big now 😂
How does Cowboy Tuned feel about this?
Burrows! :D :D :D

Chappie has Book?
💪💪👍🤠
Does anyone know what brand that gauge console behind the steering wheel is?
Haltech ic7 if I remember correctly.
Just race parts 14 in 1.
Whats the Next GU Conversion. Please be 4JJ1.
We all need a Compensator ......
Order up a wastegate lads!
Gus, why you film horizontally? 😅
He is filming footage for the video not for the gram.
@@theskidfactoryfar Ken Lol
Instant coffee gives me the shits
300lbft and more brakes things regularly.
All this for 200hp. Dang, thats alot of work. But awesome truck. Could you make more hp with a wastegate and propper boost control?
It's meant to last long
But 600nm of torque, these things chug along , awesome in the bush where low down torque is key plus will eat up most hills happily in 5th.
This is a 4WD diesel, which means it's all about low end torque so you can drive up a wall in 1st gear. And they explained quite clearly that they just let it free boost. A waste gate limits boost once you've hit your target. It never adds more, as only the turbo can do that.
The only way from here is more fuel which makes more power, which makes more exhaust, which makes more boost, which opens the option for more fuel, and then you continue that until the engine explodes... at which point you dial it back a notch. But this is a TD42 with a stock bottom end, so getting a bigger fuel pump will just make it drop it's guts on the floor and/or make a huge plume of black smoke. But Gus doesn't have an unlimited fuel budget, so the fuel pump was calibrated for efficiency. An air-fuel ratio of 45:1 at the top end is good for his wallet and good for the engine life.
Very interesting. Thanks for the info. I love this community!
Do Australians pronounce
B or Bed
C or Ced
D or Ded
E or Ed
P or Ped
T or Ted
V or Ved
so why pronounce Z as Zed?
and why H as Haych?
And if the opposite of right is wrong and we yanks drive on the right side, then you must drive on the wrong side. Right?
Everywhere that speaks commonwealth English pronounce it "zed" to make it phonetically easier to distinguish from "cee". This is a relic from being a Germanic language with Latin influence and most other central and northern European languages pronounce it "zed" or "zet" for the same reason. As for "haych"... "aitch" doesn't even have an h in it. In American English that's actually a relic of a specific regional British dialect that categorically doesn't pronounce h if it's the first letter in the word. Harry becomes Arry, etc. This dialect shares this feature with French where they might as well just abolish the letter h entirely as they borderline never pronounce it no matter where it's featured in the word.
@@andersjjensen (H)mmm....
Need - Want?
Go the Patrol! Cool to see ! 🛻😎🤙📹
Bush
What's the p for
All Patrols in Aust have to display a "P"
😊😊
@@plurz215
It's a sign that has to be displayed when the driver is educating himself in the fine art of driving...
What is the difference between red and green P plates in Queensland?
P1 - Red plate must be displayed for the first 12 months of driving for any driver under the age of 25.
To move to the P2 licence you must pass and pay for the Hazard Perception Test which can be done online.
P2 - Green plate must be displayed for 2 years for any driver under the age of 25.
Cowboy tune all the way gent's 🫡

just ditch the premium, they always try scam me into subscribing, I just ignore them
All of Europe use HP and NM, half modern, and half past millennium
Horsepower shouldn't be used as measure unit at all.
@@vvevvevvvv But that's what people are used to and since most people don't have an intuitive sense of how much a kW of output power is anyway it doesn't really matter which unit is used in daily speak.
@@andersjjensen I mean, it's kinda matters because everyone one has different horsepowers. PS in Germany, brake horsepower in the UK and horsepowers in the USA are not the same. Kw is the same every time.
300HP in a diesel is a lot, because it usually comes with 500lb of torque.
You don’t really need it though, people out here crawl the craziest places with a gasoline Toyota 4 bangers making 100lbs of torque tops.
Gearing lower than 1:1 is a torque multiplier. I've seen old gasoline tractors pull a wagon with 25 tons of wet straw bales over soggy fields without strain. It happens at a relaxed pedestrian speed, though, because 72:1 is Herculean effort at snail pace.
That guy just described women to a T talking about diesel injectors...

Timing should be done properly with a dial indicator not just "see what she does" this way then that way.
A dial gauge is good for a baseline, but various factors will change how a motor reacts to its pump timing so the dyno will give you a clear result of what timing adjustment the motor is most efficient at.
I dont know much about diesel tuning, but if you are seeking peak performance, why is setting it to a book value superior to testing various values in real life scenario to see what the engine performs best with? Im heaps more familiar with petrol tuning and never has a 'set it to this value' been acceptable for maximising performance in applications beyond a stock setup.
If the kettle boils, you’ve gone too far.
ok maga hat
Moist
Diesel motors. So big, so heavy, so much boost. So little power... still interesting to watch.
300k miles later....still making that same power...still not needing a rebuild...
The torque comes on heaps earlier in diesels
May seem like a low power figure but when you've got 610nm coming on at 2,000 rpm it feels pretty powerful
Yeah, Ive got a 3.2DID Pajero currently, its just factory 200hp. Ive had other n/a petrols rated at 200hp too, but absolutely no way they would move a 2.3T vehicle let alone putting a couple tonne behind it too. Diesels are powerful engines, they just don't rev so don't make those peak hp numbers that petrols do.
Modern turbo petrols are a huge improvement, but for me having huge torque available in the rev range that you live in 95% of the time is way more important that the peak of the dyno curve.
Lol only in Australia spending 15k to make 200hp is worth it lol
Hundo 😂 let us know when this 4x4 is going down with chappy hundo/ 4x4 tracks yeah, remembering there not race cars LOL. There just 3 tons of 190hp or even 350hp= not a race car even close LOL.... let's just go off road yeah..
