How can i check my what turbo engine i have?

[Arnow]

Hi Guys,

I'm Arno and im from Holland. I have an LT with a DW motor, which is very slow and hardly gets up the mountain.
Now last year I bought a turbo engine from a Volvo 740 that I want to build in the LT. The seller had taken the engine out of an LT and had it overhauled, until the Volvo had an accident after 20k km.

The overhaul company has stamped a different number on it during overhaul, so I don't know which engine I have. Do any of you know if there are differences on the outside of an engine?

I want to build it in the LT, but now that it's out, I'm going to tackle it right away. I want an intercooler that already gives more power but would like to go towards 130-150hp.
Now I have come across the company www.wilfrieds-tuning.de in Germany that indicates to bring LTs with original parts to 150 hp and to drive up the mountain with a good oil cooler without thermal problems. Does anyone have an idea how to achieve this?

I hope you can help me with both questions

Regards Arno

Welcome to the forum.

If you post photos of the front of the engine we can help identify it.

Forum member Anders sells 12mm injection pumps.

Yes, a good oil cooler would help control temperatures during sustained loads, good radiator probably just as (or more) important. Also, possibly a lower temperature thermostat, and overdriven water pump.

Thanks for your reply! What is a 12mm pump about in terms of power increase? Does a modified fuel pen also have extra added value?

I have some pictures of the engine, i have my pc at the office so i post the picrures tomorrow. the belts need to be refitted and the fuel pump wants to give it new gaskets, I'm working on that

I also have many loose parts such as an extra turbo, which can be seen separately in the photo.

Sorry I cannot provide exact numbers but the 12mm IP and modified fuel pin are parts of the whole, when building for more HP.

The other parts: Intercooler, turbo upgrade, GTD injectors, head studs, MLS head gasket, possibly oversized pistons, possibly head porting, etc.

Thank you for the info. I had already read the treads, the difference with, for example, a Volvo is that the car is not built for high power, so a 140-150 hp is more than enough.

The power must be noticeable at the bottom as well as at the top in order to be able to climb a mountain without difficulty, for example. Actually I'm looking for the best way to get this done, maybe a 12mm pump and GTD injectors in combination with an intercooler and oil cooler is enough for 130-140hp?

You can PM Anders and ask him to get involved in this thread. He is probably the one with the most experience with the 12mm IP here in this forum.
