Installing a turbo on 4 cyl tacom

How hard to installa turbo charger in a 1998, 4 cyl. tacoma?

 

You have a very long road ahead of you.

 

Idk but that's a sweet idea

 

the more you spend the easier it gets.

better question is how much boost are you aiming for? minimal 3-7lbs?

im assuming after header turbo, the cost will include alot of fab, or alot for a pre fabbed kit.

They made 2nd gen 1998 4cyl Tacomas?






ETA: And now it's moved out of the 2nd gen section, so no one will get the point.

 

took me a second to realize wth you were talking about

 

Better question? When talking forced induction you don't suggest The minimum psi or even a guesstimate. Let his tuner make the suggestions, after all he is the one with his tuning reputation on the line. Let the tuner look for knock, AFR's, FP and decide on psi.

OP. It isn't hard to turbo your tacoma but it's not an afternoon project.

 

that sounds badass

 

I've thought about doing this too. But dont really want to spend the money, so I live with the mediocre performance of my stock 4 banger.

Oh, and why is this in 2nd gen.

 

good question

 

Best question, does anyone have a set up that can chime in with specs. Id like to do it a loooong way from now if its worth the chunk of change. What can you expect to change with mpg,torque,and h.p. I honestly wished they offerd a 4cyl turbo diesel id be all over that like white on rice

 

Sounds to me like its mis fireing.

 

Thorp, I've been dreamin of a 4 cyl. turbo diesel since I bought my truck. I heard the Nissan titan will have one next year....... wonder howling till someone totals a new truck? Engine swap.

 

Everyone wants to post in 2nd gen cuz they're so awesome!

 

I've always dreamed of turbo'ing my taco....but the more I think about it, the less I want to. Lots and lots of money...its not just bolting on the turbo and going...lots of fabrication and tuning, and turbo kits are hella expensive. Plus once you are boosted you need to upgrade your fuel management to get any real power, and that is more $$$...plus if your motor has a decent amount of mileage you may want to rebuild it before you turbo.

I just remember its a truck, and its not supposed to be fast. My slow 4 banger doesn't bother me.

 

I meant the whine. my bad

 

lol @ the video. thought he was doin pretty good accelerating and what not until the intrepid passed him.

 

are you kidding??? these are toyotas...not fords

i would boost a 2rz with 250,000 miles without hesitation

 

Sure, but if you are going to spend thousands to turbo your truck, why not do a top end rebuild on the motor??
