I would be interested in fitting a turbo on a 2.4 4aa york engine. I know that fitting an entire new td would be easier but unfortunately laws in Romania are very strict regarding fitting different tipe engines. In this case the solution is to keep the same engine and fit it with a turbine or compresor set. The tricky part is to also keep it indestructable because constantly blowing the engine won't be worth it.
So, did anyone fit a turbo on a york?

Im not sure about the standard york and how different it is to the DI but im in the process of bolting the standard turbo setup onto my none turbo DI engine and although the compression ratios are higher many people have done this and as long as you dont over boost its no issue . Muttley is your man who can answer the question refarding the difference of york vs DI

As far as I know turbos have oil nozels spraying oil on the inside of the piston heads to cool them down in order to prevent melting. There might also be some other differences I don't know about so if someone else already did such conversion it would be interesting having a chat on this. Help Muttley :-) !

Yes , turbos require an oils feed and a drain , the feed can be taken by placing a tee into the oil pressure switch as for the drain you can drill and mount a plug onto the sump . As you can see from my pictures it's easy enough . I made sure I mounted a welding magnet below and have a magnetic sump plug to draw all the swarf away Attachments:

Cool. The gratest ideea so far. My ideas were far more complicated. What's in the inside? A four way splitter for a nozzle undea each cilyder or what? Also I'm thinking on an oil radiator on the same circuit. What about the cilynder head?Any mods there? Do you have an Al head or cast Iron. I'm asking because I tried turbo-ing some 3.2D with Al head and the head cracked. Guess that cast-iron ones are much stronger though.

I dont know if it matters but the york has glow plugs and the DI doesnt.

Great stuff. One more thing, as I am not so familiar with Transit engines other than my 2.4. The 2.5 is the diesel installed on mk 3? I'm asking that because I drove for some time a mk3, 2.5d with 60.000 miles on board and it was way lazier than my 2.4.

Yes that's the one , they can be lazy but that's why I'm putting a turbo on

I re read a couple of your posts and you seem to be overly concerned with spray injecting the cylinders for cooling and pistons melting . This is really a process most suited to 350bhp + cosworth engines and petrol based vehicles . I would cast that sort of thing from your mind as it would probably be Impractical and unnecessary for a diesel .

I haven't got much experience with turbo engines except with the turbo conversion of a 3.2l indirect injection engine that blew, cracking the cilynder head and melting one of the pistons. That is why I am so concerned. If i destroy the engine i won't be able to get my hands on another one soon. Also, having lots of dffernt mods in mind i try to cover all aspects in time so that when i get to work as much theory as posible would be covered. Anyhow, these two forums made me feel wellcome and all the counseiling and ideas were a great deal of help for me. Thousand thanks to all.

The Di works better with a turbo as it is direct injection, the York can, and has, been turbo'd and there are videos of that on YouTube . The inlet manifold would need modifying as it has a throttle flap and the swirl chambers don't respond we'll to forced induction but its still a relatively simple and cheap way to more horsepower

At Muttley's advice I found this on Youtube
I mailed the guy and he was kind enough to share his experience. So, with everybody's permission I will keep posting the infos as I come by, just in case someone else might get interested on the subject.
