Anybody See This

i dont see what is so great about it. ugly color. other then the grill it looks same as every other taco here. the v8 is a waste. that is the reason i am getting a taco i getting rid of my v8 f150. just my 2 cents..

 

thats exactly it. just going to gather the parts one by one until i have everything and then i will go have everything put on at once. i just need help compiling a list of parts so i dont forget anything

 

Oh Cool. That will be Sweet! You already probable know about them, but check out this website... http://www.ststurbo.com/uni This link is for a universal turbo made by Squires Turbo Systems. I am thinking of it as well... maybe after I pay off the truck. What do you think?

 

my buddy has a few smaller turbos laying around that are barely used if they are at all, so i'll end up picking one up from him. a muffler shop i used to work at can bend any metal pipes i need too. as far as waiting until it's paid off, i'm not waiting another 40 months haha, but the warranty is kind of hindering me from pursuing this quickly. i already have a shit-ton of miles on the truck, bought it May07 and i have almost 14k already from work and whatnot...but a remote turbo may be easier to remove if i need to take it in for something. i was also thinking about a procharger kit, just for the pure reliability of a supercharger without any problems of a turbo but i dont think that they themselves make a kit for our trucks yet, but i have seen kits that include everything and a procharger centrifugal blower

 

I definately see what you are saying about warranty concerns. I was really wanting to get a hold of a TRD Supercharger and have Toyota install it in house to retain my warranty. On the other hand, everyone I have talked to who has a turbo vs a TRD Supercharger has been really satisfied. And as to the couple of races that i have seen (and I am talking about the 3.4 motor) the Supercharger was ahead at the bottom, but after about 50 or so the Turbo flew past the Supercharger.
oh, and I should be able to pay off my truck in 1 year, so that will give me time to either think about it, find a turbo, or for TRD to get their butts in gear.
oh, check this out! Some dude on eBay is selling his STS Turbo for our truck. check it out. I will get an item number on here when I can.

 

yea i'll take a look at it. as far as my knowledge goes about turbo vs. supercharger, i street raced for 4 years so far, with my cobra and my wrx which are quite opposite from eachother. a supercharger is an easy installation, relatively little maintennance, and a little bit cheaper. the problem is that they take power to turn the blowers, even if they are a roots or centrifugal. the turbos are driven by exhaust gases so while there is a slight lag, especially with a larger turbine, it more than makes up for it once the boost hits. a properly sized turbo is the key to a perfect setup, which is why i'll be using a small one. my truck redlines at 5500 so i can't afford to have boost lag until 3000rpm. a small turbo should hit starting at 2000

 

ok i got it... eBay item # 250183356738

 

it looks like a great kit, too bad i'm broke haha

 

WHO KNOWS WHERE I CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS TRUCK (MOSTLY ABOUT THE INSTALLATION OF THE VE ENGINE?.... lOOKING AT MY 08 TACOMA 4.0 V6 Vs MY MOM'S V8 SEQUOIA THE TRANSMISSION IS EXACTLY THE SAME!!! I WOULD LOVE TO PICE UP A USED MOTOR ON EBAY AND IT'S ECU AND HOOK THEM UP.

WHERE IS THAT TRUCK THESE DAYS?

 

That's probably one of the best color combos ever, with the snot that the V-8 brings, MY GOD MAN !!
