Turbo BS Thread

Got lucky this weekend and picked up a welder for a steal


Also finally got the exhaust done. The guy convinced me on 2.5 in. I thought he was going to do a resonator but it's sounds good so far....only the drive to work tomorrow will tell lol. It's just a high flow cat and a flowmaster super 44. I can feel the turbo come on way faster and the bov cums a lot harder now

 

Has anyone here fitted a turbo on their Tacoma ? I’m trying to install a used one on my 3rd gen.

 

And the engine is so complex compared to my ‘98 Taco ):

 

There's 500 pages in this thread, I think I've seen a turbo mentioned somewhere in it.

 

looks like I’m gonna have to do my research

 

Check out the 3rd gen ovtune twin turbo thread and see what kinda issues they ran into before you get too gungho (I assume you meant to ask for 3rd gen specific)

 

Oh great, thanks man. I have a muffler delete on my taco and quite honestly, it sounds great, (although sometimes it might be too loud lol) and then I hear those pop and crackles when I shift and it’s music to my ears. But I imagine putting a semi small turbo it would complement the loud noise.

 

Assuming you are 3.5L v6?

 

I’m tempted to get a ms3 wagon to feed my boost withdrawals. $4k 50k miles worth it??

 

That's my DD. I love mine. Depends on how abused it is. Motors are sensitive.

 

i laughed so hard at that lest sentence

 

Yes sir

 

I was waiting for that. Bunch of dirty minds in here, I know it.

 

Would a 2 inch lift kit be enough to put tires bigger than 265 ?

 

What aspect ratio? 265/70R16 is a stock size.

 

My spec is 265/65/16

 

I mean it's an accurate description right

 

What size are you trying to go up to? Probably better off searching or asking in the 3rd gen forum. If you're trying to go to 33s a 2" lift 8s plenty. You'll most likely need to do a cab mount chop.

 

My turbo almost completely silenced my flowmaster 50 series. I love it! I never knew what my tires sounded like.


A suspension lift doesn't clear tires. All you did was change the ride height. The suspension still has the ability to travel up as far as it did stock. I guess if you live in an area with nice roads where you're suspension won't be cycled you'd be fine.

 

Did you mean a body lift?

A suspension lift absolutely allows larger tires. As a suspension drop requires smaller tires....
