The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

They build them after you order since there are several options for them. I did what you said though. Shipping is about 4-5 days from the East Coast to the North west as well.

For warranty work you send your broken diff to them, about 4-5 days, they work on it, about 2-3 days depending on how busy they are and then 4-5 days to ship it back. That is what I was referring to on the 1-2 week wait.

 

IDK how you guys are turboing for so cheap...pricing out stuff for me. im at 3k before shipping. And still missing parts....

@j0shu4 @GioGuitarDude @StAndrew

 

Yes, please share with the rest of the class.

 

Took my time, was patient, and got lucky. As long as it took to install, took longer to research and get the parts. I bought used for the most part.

URD port fueler, injectors, and t-split for $200 IIRC.

Got the AEM FIC used for ~$130 IIRC

I used the CX turbo. So the kit I got for ~$1500.

Got a new Tial WG for $270.

Intercooler was ~$100.

Fuel pump was $100.

Misc gaskets, parts, bolts, etc... probably no more than $100.

- Saved hundreds on the port fueler and injectors.

 

Damn! Tokensolutions used to have a killer fuel upgrade kit for the 5VZ that included choice of pump, choice of engine management, and choice of injector sizes for less than $1000... Gone.

They still have some good prices on there Toyota stuff though:

You can get a set of injectors for $450 still though:

Some cheep 550cc injectors: http://www.ebay.com/itm/550cc-Toyot...ZFE-/201372609833?hash=item2ee2be2d29&vxp=mtr

 

At what boost pressure do you need bigger injectors? What if your just boosting say 6-7 lbs?

 

Its not boost level that determines injector size, its power goal.. :rollseyes:

Decide how much power you want and then find injectors that will meet that goal.

 

I'm trying to make my own switch panel for under the radio, how did you attach yours so it's not floating around?

 

Order one from paranoid fab, they're great

 

Reminds me that I need to order one!

 

PM'd

 

I hate you..

haha

i am not turboing without the port fueler. After all the research ive done, the 5vz runs like dog shit when you up the stock injectors and try and tune it. Unless you get a total standalone, which i am not going to do. Fuck that.

The turbo i am going to get is 880 alone. But way better then a CX one and should fit the motor better IMO.

I guess ill just wait it out.

well shit. No one showing love for the 5vzfe anymore.

PSI has NOTHING to do with power. So you can never say, im just wanting 6-7 psi and call it good. That can mean a very wide power range, what matter for FAI is CFM and how much air is moving.

a 44mm turbo at 7psi moves a lot less air then a 67mm turbo at 7psi.

Injector size has to do with the fuel needed to support the power you want.

I always used this for injectors from the supra days: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?564330-Injector-sizing-guide.

its literally sandwhiched between the outper plastic panel and the plastic pocket that was in there. That is it. And its cut to size so it doesn't move at all.

This is a great option as well. I didn't do this purely because i needed more switches then 6..

 

Bummer. You call Gadget yet about that port fueler? The AEM FIC piggy back can tune injector pulse width so tuning bigger injectors should be just fine. Go on Customtacos and ask around, I know there are people running bigger primaries on there.

 

Okay that's why my thing... I really like switches and lights, so I want room to expand that being said I'm gonna try and make something like you did, how thick is yours?

 

Get the small stuff from Amazon and ebay. If you would like I could give a full breakdown of mine. In fact I bought things I didn't need which pissed me off but oh well. Ultimately you have to make the buying decisions for what you feel is best. Your super knowledgeable.

Keep in mind cx does military discount, don't know if that could apply to you somehow.

I'm needing a new clutch, way too much power is causing it to slip. Any suggestions monte?


Yeah, I want to itemize what all I bought for my own record. Plus to help others.....I'll try and post it this weekend.

I'll do more research for sure. Haven't called him yet but will soon on it.

Hmmm iI think its about 1/16th

Yea im looking at better parts to use in most areas which adds up fast.

Be cool to see a list for sure.

Chris gave you all the perfomance clutches. i have the trail gear ceramic one now and really like it. Not sure how it would cope with high power

 

@Blackdawg what turbo are you getting?

 

A Driftmotion 67mm Billet Turbo. USA built and all garret internals.
