Turbo BS Thread

Yep. Stockers will handle 4 PSI all day with the FPR boost referenced. The meth makes up for the other 4PSI.

 

Dudes... stay far away from Walbro fuel pumps! I’ve had mine in for 2 years and that crap is already going out. Been having a heck of a time starting my truck the last couple days. Ordered a TT Supra denso fuel pump and hoping to get it in my truck by Friday.

 

Wish they made a denso 450lph. But yes your right. Walbros suck and fail quickly. The evo 8 pump flows 190lph and the Supra 300lph. Better have an aftermarket FPR to handle that pump though.

 

Are you guys getting your Walbro pumps from eBay or any other questionable vendors? They are the mosk knocked-off brand that there is.

 

I'v had mine up to 9psi but the AFRs are at 13.0 or so. At 7psi they are at 12.0 or so. No meth yet

 

I wish some of you guys lived in the northeast seems like most are in Texas

 

I'm on Long Island, but starting my turbo build on my 2013. I had the same thought as you though- everyone is down south or out west!

 

Damn good to know your within a day we should plan a weekend once I get the ball rolling!

None of that stuff is going to work on a turbo application.

 

What do you suggest

 

probably clamps and stuff that fit and align properly haha

 

Unfortunately you want it to fit up perfect. Mine isn't pretty but the flanges fit well. All that exhaust paste will burn up pre turbo. Lot of work but worth your time

 

Iv driven from Texas to Long Island before but not in the tacoma still it was a long drive 28 hrs

 

ive been told the tacoma FPR is the same FPR as the TT Supra just with a different nipple angle. Im not worried about it.

 

Yeah, I heard that as well. My stock one has been good so far being boost referenced.

 

No one ever complains about associated problems caused by proper fitment.....

 

I've been using this exhaust cement stuff and it works great, messy, but great.

Doi need to do anything about timing? I feel like im still a little ways from messing with it but i didnt wanna go too far if i needed to pull any. I was under the impression that e85 allows u to run more timing so if i can not mess with it at all on e85 and be safe that would be ok with me

 

1(-) degree per pound of boost is usually safe, and once you get the tune down you can go up from there. I think I'm pulling .25 degrees per pound right now with no issues.
