custom turbo setup !

A lil background. Im a full time paramedic student and work apprx 20 hrs a week, so all this is done on free time, with a budget in mind. I did all the work my self, besides some tig welding on the aluminum. I still need to clean up the fit and finish a lil, and bolt up the hot side charge pipe, but other then that here ya go. All comments and questions are welcome

 

dude that is so sickkkkkk! welcome to tw! i will be following this build to the end! cant wait to see it done and to hear a vid too!

 

How much boost you going to run? Setup looks nice.

 

Welcome to TW. Man that looks bad ass so what kind of numbers are you expecting from this setup?

 

sweeeeeeeeet turbos all the way

 

awesome!! i love turbo'd tacos. makes me wish i had the time, money, and skills to do it.

 

We need thorough explanations of the pics..........so we can try it!!!!

 

I spent a good amount,and that was doing everything myslef but with top quality parts.

Im going for about 400 daily and hopefully 500 just for a few runs.

Thanks you guys for all the kind words, Im on xru and ct, but this is my first time on this forum

 

heres a lil update, I had about 2 hrs free today. the wg pipe has a mount, that bolts it to the transmission as extra support. You can barely see it in the picture


I got the muffler location, and my pipes came in a day late so I could finish the exhaust

 

ok heres the newly made downpipe before coating

 

Awesome and I can't wait to see the result!

 

Is this all a part of a kit or how was the whole project planned out? How is the waste gate, ignition, and fueling controlled? Needs a new computer to manage the above variables?

I loved the turbocharging on the Cummins diesels I owned. In fact it would be awesome if Toyota put a small diesel (turbocharged) in the Tacoma as an option.

 

wastegate being used is a tial 38mm, 5 psi spring, Im using the apexi avc-r boost controller.

The fueling and ignition is being controlled/modified with the aem fic piggyback. The computer was installed approx 6 months prior to starting project.

Both sides are "spooling" the turbo. if you look on the manifold, you will see a 2" pipe that comes down, Thats from the crossover pipe. I will try to get more pics weds for you to help explain

 

Speak english dammit!!!!

 

Me likey, cool setup! Its neat that you have the ability to do the stuff yourself without going and buying a kit. Wish I could do that kind of stuff myself.

 

so when you are running 5 psi or cranking it up for some more ponies? i think 5 should be reliable yet still keep you spinning the tires.

what is there not to understand?

 

why did this thread die out I need more info!
