D905 turbo in golf cart swap

[simplemann]

i currently have a d905 i want to put in a clubcar ds with a dump bed. im looking to add a turbo to the engine but im having a hard time finding the back section of the wastegate housing that bolts to the rear of the turbo to complete the exhaust. the turbo comes with the gasket to seal that part but i dont know where to source thar part of the housing any help would be appreciated thank you.

Turbocharged D905 engine in a golf cart seems like a good fit!

Speaking for myself (and I suspect, others...) I'm gonna need some pictures of that project!

There's a few club-car-hyabusa motor swaps you can find on you-tub.

Kubota part 1J080-12320 might be what you need? 2nd link is something similar, the part from messicks does not have a picture, but I believe it adapts the turbocharger outlet to the same 4 bolt flange as the exhaust manifold.

its a work in progress im still in the teardown stages of the cart. mostly the engine compartment but i will post pics when i get back around to it. im currently rebuilding a 7.3 id for my 93 f350

i have found a flange/turbo option that should work. in the process of a manifold on ebay to see if it will all fit, then i just need the oil line and drain for it

im hoping so. it shuld be sweet when its done

Looking forward to it!

What are you using for a clutch?

What are you using for a clutch?

Clutch setup is to be yet figured out maybe a stock club car setup or a possable jack shaft and chains setup, I haven't had the engine sitting in the frame yet so it's a toss up so far measurements don't have the flywheel and trans clutch lining up square

The flange and turbo assembly previously mentioned will work if I can get the wastegate actuator to clear the breather hose on the valve cover

UPDATE..... I'm also looking for a boost hose and or more part sources for a d1105T i need fuel lines and a boost hose i swapped an intake from an 1105t so the boost hose will fit better, for the money I have in this build im still way ahead of just buying a d1105t. The return line for the injectors hits the intake as well. I wonder if an older s/n for a 1105t would help me source parts easier any help would be awsome , thanks

Do you have the return fittings on the individual injectors or are the hard piped together?

If they are individual, on some models you can turn them to face the valve cover to clear.

You can't use a stock clutch as the rpm will be to slow to lock up, unless you modify it.

Yea i wasent sure about the clutch working i believe i seen that somewhere else but not sure of a solution. As for the return lines there hard pipe in-between each cyl

It's a stock d905 and I'm thinking I can borrow most of the turbo setup off an 1105t to make it work, I know the bore and all is slightly bigger but would think it would be ok. Im kinda piecing it together as I go after the intake install is when I found the return lines hitting I could cut them apart and find some hose that might work not sure if weedeater style hose would hold up to diesel fuel for long

You can get the individual return line set for it, it's a very common setup.

most golf car engines run 2000-2800 RPM tops. The clutch should work. That's part of my job (golf cars) and I ain't seen one yet that will hold the rod(s) in the block at 4000 RPM. Some of the EZ-go cars used a little parallel twin engine. Those were kinda sweet. extremely smooth running. Made by Robin (Fuji) and it looks VERY similar to the RTV 500 /520 engine....

if you use the stock type CVT clutch, it wont' really go any faster but it'll have all the torque you'd ever want. Jerky on the throttle too, so if I were doing it, I'd figure out how to make the pedal travel as long as possible to reduce the jerkiness. Most of the gas engines never made more than 5 hp and the flywheels were really heavy to reduce throttle response for that very reason (makes it smoother).

a big problem I see is that if you use the stock clutch, you will not be able to let the engine idle without the car creeping forward (or backward). They don't have a neutral and the clutch doesn't disengage so long as the engine is runing above about 500 RPM. IT's made that way so that you just push the throttle pedal down and the car goes, you don't have to turn the key to start and put it in gear. It's for lazy golfers as we say at work. Only one I know of that will idle in gear without much creeping is the Yamaha G1 (I had one) that had a modification done so it didn't shut the engine off when you release the gas pedal. Pretty easy.

---Nivel or Red Hawk (or whoever?) may have a gear kit for your transmission, which should drastically increase speed. You have the torque to pull a higher gear for sure, where the OEM 4 hp engine does not, not without modification to the engine or an engine swap. I've done quite a few electric carts with bigger motors, different controllers, programmers, and gear kits that will achieve 35-40mph. Pretty scary to go that fast on them since the front suspension and steering geometry is such that they SUCK to drive at anything more than about 15mph.

Thats some awsome information, thanks

That's awsome information, thanks. Im also looking into using a jack shaft setup as well to help things line up. The d905 is considerably bigger then the d722 that most carts have in them for swaps. Idk off hand what I'll end up doing but maybe a comet clutch for some of there higher hp setups would work idk. I do love options and even with a jack shaft you have unlimited gear ratios to play with to get ur mph and rpms. I dont really need a 50mph cart but if it happens to then so be it, definitely adding hydraulic brakes to curb it better
