Turbo BS Thread

Look at what @StAndrew or @Brice did for their intercoolers.

 

Here's a general of what I did, not super pretty but it works just fine. I'll be changing it a little bit and installing a bigger Intercooler.

 

Good point

 

I just spit on my phone laughing at that

 

Someone mentioned ducting for the radiator. Might I suggest looking at 4th gen 4runners front end for ideas.

 

You could fit like 3 more turbos in there with all that space!

 

I was thinking about just this.. and also between my intercooler and radiator too

 

I wonder how hard it would be to bump the grill out an inch or two for the first gens. That would definitely give some usable space.

 

A dremel and a steady hand. And patience...

 

Gut out the grille and add some mesh. Probably would have to ditch the hood latch and do hood latches.

I'd just take out the center completely. The intercooler would be the "mesh". Cut the bottom part out too.

 

Torspd has done that.

 

Anyone interested in an EGT/pyrometer gauge? I bought it last summer and decided I wasn't going to use it after the return period. It's brand new never removed from the box. $140 shipped

 

JDM bro.

 

I've seen a first gen that had an IC packaged right where the grill was. It didn't look great IMO but honestly the whole truck was a bit of a hack job so that isn't saying much.

Has anyone used or seen results from those aluminum intake pipes that have fins on them? I wonder if they would help make up the difference with a smaller IC.

 

External or internal?

 

I heard they're pointless. The fins would need to be on the inside as well to do anything but that will cause drag

 

So since I have my BW EFR Turbo... that leaves this:
