Default My gas to diesel triumph

hello My name is Dan, I have a 66 triumph 2000 with the Kubota T1505-te3 the adapter from kenitic and a toyota corolla trans. The car has a 4.1:1 rear with no options of changing it (independent rear) so I made an overdrive unit from parts from winters performance quick change diffs, the tires I'm running are 185-65-15. I can hit 75 mph if the wind is nice, my intown mpg is just short of 42 mpg, most hills (6 to 7%) are 50 to 60 mph in 3 or 4th gear.

I have a few questions:

1st where are you taping into for boost readings?
2nd is there anything I can do to get more out of it? I would like to have gone with the v2203 but this just fits I have a 1/2 gap from front crank pulley to steering cross member after moving the cross member forward 1.5 inches. I can just force the belt between the crank pulley and c-m.
3rd possibly somewhere in this thread where did you find out what the turbos that would fit or how to adjust waste gate to increase boost?

thanks

Hi, nice project! I'm guessing that your motor is still set at the factory setting. If it is simmilar to the V2203, then you need to adjust the rack travel stop to add fuel. Ours are located just below the stop solonoid, loosen the lock nut and back out the screw (be carefull to make small adjustments at a time, like 1/2 turn). I have my boost signal at the intake manifold. It would be good to also have an EGT guage to see how hot it gets when you add fuel.
