My 98 turbo tacoma x)

Hey guys just wanted to show my tacoma off... I bought it built for a dd(lol) since my mustang is going to go under the knife for a new swap.. Ive really enjoyed the truck its been built right and is a blast.. Only thing i really dont like is the welded rear end(no traction now i cant imagen it not being welded) And the racing seats (they will go asap) It dynoed at around 270hp on 11psi soo the goal is 300 hp on 14 psi








And here is some pics of my mustang..

 

What brand is the turbo?

Very nice truck btw.

 

Its an ebay 50 trim and is holding up great so far

 

Does it have a blow off valve??? " love thos things!

 

yeah but its load and annoying lol Along with the welded rear end... im thinkin i want to do a lsd or maybe the ford 8.8 swap...

 

Thanks man!! My buddy that built the truck put it on there..but ill ask him for you

 

Nice, I sometimes miss my turbo until I hear the rumble of the V8 now..23 psi was fun!!

I can actually build you a custom forward facing intake if you want one, I have built over 25 of them for these motors.

But its amazing what these motors can handle, I ran 18 psi with just head studs and a MLS head gasket. However a good tune and a standalone is a must for high boost.

Nice truck!

 

Any pics of the intake?? And yeah im very impressed with these motors/toyotas in general(its my first one) If i ever open it up to put in the headgasket and studs i will raise the boost annnd i agree i love my v8 also lol glad i have both

 

heres a pic of the motor.. im gettin it retuned on sunday on 14 psi.. hopeing to be around 300 whp

 

Just a small update the tacoma now sports a w58 trani from a supra..

 

love it.

 

awesome man

 

Thanks guys! Its a really fun truck hopeully i can run it at the track soon.

 

how much does a turbo set up like that cost,
and how hard is it to install?

 

Not sure on price as the kit was peacied together.. but ive seen them online for around $1500.. believe it or not the turbo is an ebay 50 trim along with an ebay intercooler.. The truck is VERY solid on 14pis and goes side ways(welded rear) at full boost in 2nd ha! My biggest issues right now is traction.. but over all its a VERY fun truck, i couldnt imagen having any other setup on a tacoma and it being this fun..

 

Nice. Are you on svtperformance by chance?

 

No i hang out on Sn95Forums.. Im actually doind the mark8 dohc swap in my mustang right now.. thats where all my money has gone haha.. Im ready to get the mustang up and going again..

 

sub'd. nice work.

 

What gear ratios are you guys running on your boosted tacos?
