Turbo Tacoma

Just seeing this thread. So awesome. I'm very interested to see how your build turns out when you install the new engine parts and go for the high boost

 

That probably won’t happen for a long time I’m building a few businesses that require alot of capital reinvestment so money for the toy truck is low.

It’s fun to drive at 6psi
And silly at 10psi.

When I build the spare block I’d want to run 20+ all the time and then I’d probably need to swap the rear end and transmission.

I will still do all of the above just not soon lol

 

Turbo really isn't that much more difficult. Basically just doing the same as a SC just on the exhaust side. Biggest part of a turbo project is pulling the oil pan for the return.

 

my lazy ass didn't even remove the pan. overfilled with oil. welded an fitting on. then drilled through the center with bit grease dipped to catch chips. that was 4 years ago so im gona say it worked out. if almost all of my manifold studs didn't sieze in i would have had build done in a single day.

 

I don’t know anything about turbo setups so I feel like I can’t do it

 

The internet has the knowledge you seek. I'm just hearing an excuse

 

How much is it to install a turbo?

 

$500

I knew nothing at first too but had some great help from the guys on here whenever i had a hiccup.

i went overkill and did the fuel system and a full tune off the bat to help me turn it up down the road. It definitely added some headaches at first but I’m glad i did it this way now

 

Well my rear end gave up today!
Time to do some research to see if i should beef up or switch to a for 9”

 

elocker or 8.4?

 

8.4

 

8.4 is decently strong. id probably just go with a fresh rebuilt one with a good gearset. been 4 years turbod with locker on mine no issues so far. i drive it like a child breaking tires loose all the time

 

Wonder if locker makes it stronger
