2TR-FE Performance Thread

They made him an intake manifold, he's still searching for a turbo manifold. Unless they made him one and he decided to go with a different turbo afterwards? (Talked about that with him directly since I'm doing the same.)

 

From what ive seen, a turbo typically flows more air than a s/c but the real loser with a s/c is that it takes power to make power since its belt driven. Turbo uses spent exhaust gases so their adiabatic efficiency is much higher than you can get with a s/c

 

I got dibs on your S/C when you upgrade!

 

I reached out to AFE about their 2.7 cat_pipe ( part #47-46002) and they said it's made with 2-1/2" piping (compared to stock being 2-1/4" I think) which should give better flow and add a couple hp. @taco_tallua has one in the fs section (picture from his thread).

 

Stage 1 vs stage 2 idler for the URD sc kit. Figured out for the belt routing to line up best, the passenger side s/c idler shouldn't have a washer behind it and the driver side one should (two came with the kit)




destroyed the pulley removal tool i made trying to remove the old pulley. Guess aluminum wasnt the right material for the job. Tried using a strap wrench but the pulley keeps wanting to spin backwards. Someone cranked down this pulley bolt. Gonna have to locate a steel pulley removal tool

 

looks like mishimoto makes a 155* racing tstat for our motor. Think ill stick with my 170 but options are nice to have

The intake came from a good friend of mine from Thailand. The 2tr is very popular out there!

LCE was working a manifold but at the time they hadn't fully accepted the 2tr as a new addition to their repertoire, so they didn't have time for it. The design was pretty trick at first! Need to hit them up about it again

 

2.5" is what I used when I built my friend's. That plus the header, combined with his URD kit, made very nice power.

 

Ever get the pulley off?

 

Wonder if there is a line on some turbo manifolds from that country? Manufactured, not custom.

 

No sir sure didnt, gonna find a steel pulley removal tool and give it another go here in a couple weeks

 

Benefit to running this on a NA motor?

 

Choice. 2.5" is stock on the V6, and handles a good amount of HP.

 

Choice of what exactly?
Would there be any sufficient gains if I put it on my NA 2TR?

 

No there wouldn't be big gains for a NA truck. Also it should be noted that midpipes are 2nd and 3rd gen specific, so that one wouldnt bolt right up- youd probably need the hangars modified

 

It would fit. I've got a 2nd gen, the PN is for a 2nd gen.

 

Choice = user's choice.

 

Good catch.. you are correct.. i thought the guy selling that had a 3rd gen.. didnt want to see you end up with something you couldnt use

 

I'd cut, zip tie, weld, and duct tape til she fits!

 

That's the right attitude
