Turbo BS Thread

@Speedytech7
You could make T3 to V band adapters if need be.

 

I have a v band to t4 on my set up I bought on eBay... They probably make t3 to t6 adapters, I know I have seen t3-t4 ones

 

Do you recall what size fitting this is on the oil filter housing? I think I am going to try to set up my oil feed the same way

 

Not 100% but I think it is M16x1.5

 

I can’t sorry, but some reason m22 is coming to mind idk

 

The saga continues...

Base line dyno with the truck in Na mode.
Stock 3.4
Auto
35s
4.56 gearing (from 4.10)
K&n intake w/Afe dry flow filter
2.5" exhaust from cat back to axle exit
32" led light bar





Had to let out of it because the Auto slipped or flashed. Thought it was down shifting at first, its not.

Kinda bummed but also glad I didn't get stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a neutral box.

I guess two years of boost finally took its toll. Crazy I didn't have any problems before, but I never rev the engine out that high, just use the bottom end to move around.

Already looking into rebuild kits, but if anyone has a good known lead, shoot me a link.

Until next time, happy boosting!

 

Are there upgraded clutch pack kits, and/or valve body kits?

 

Only looked for a second but yes there are upgrade clutches, I still need to do more research though. I actually have a valve body kit on the shelf, just didn't use it since the line pressure mod seemed to work so well. It will definitely be going in this time.

 

Well, you have all the imperical data and knowledge you need now, to share with others.

 

Ive seen some companies that rebuild A340 for drag when I google. Maybe some of the parts work with yours.

I'm only familiar with desert stuff. All of them use the th400 and a high stall converter with lock out.

 

Did some research today on the throttle body inlet and outlet for my coolant source for the turbo. I got the truck up to temp and pulled a line to determine which one of the two on the throttle body was the feed and which was the return. Here’s a pic for future reference. The one going into the top of the TB is the feed and the one coming out of the bottom is the return. This is on the 2TR-FE.

 

Well done sir.

 

That's how I did mine.

Yeah for the a340 you can do a transgo kit which I found I needed when I had the turbo as I could start to feel alittle slippage. I did the hot rod setting which I would advise against lol. There's also kevlar clutches and more upgrades when you need them atf speed is a big a340 company.

 

Well turbo went to shit and the manifold needed decked so the hell with it? Going to build a nice stainless steel one now. With an upgraded turbo

 

You gave the Chinese manifold too many beans, eh?

 

Cheap hairspray.

 

Yeah that piece of shit. That thing would fail as a door stop lol. Well i built that log one that worked ok, but it Ultimate reality its garbage. Im going to try to to whip out a stainless runner one with a t3 collector.
If i have time i might a jig so i can build a couple for the guys on here.

 

Game on!

 

Best thing I did was make my own manifold.

 

Has anyone with a 2TR-FE upgraded their midpipe to one larger than the URD one? That one is 2.5” and I will be building a 3” midpipe to match the downpipe and catback.

I remember reading something in here about o2 sensors not liking the larger piping, but I wasn’t sure how common that was so I wanted to hear yall’s thoughts

also, it seems like the primary o2 sensor is in a good place on the 2TR in the midpipe but I was wondering if it needs to be moved downstream further or what’s the standard procedure with a turbo? Any info would be appreciated
