Turbo BS Thread

why not just depin and rewire the loose plug side?

 

I think his new jumper is different than the jumper he is pulling from. Toyota loves changing wires every few years

 

Well, my intake manifold gasket actually wasn't the issue. Took the manifold off (with the turbo and DP together) to find no signs of leakage. Replaced the OEM one with the Felpro anyways, since it was thicker and visibly better quality. Upon inspection, I found that one of my studs backed out pretty badly, and the other one next to it was loose. Took off the turbo to inspect closer- and saw the T25 gasket was the issue...Luckily I had a few extra new ones, just in case! You can see below what happened. Note- this was after only 1500mi...

Anyways, got the studs tightened in much better now, new gasket, torqued it all back down then header wrapped my downpipe with the DEI Ti-Wrap. Easy as cake! I also installed my turbo blanket, since I've been forgetting about it since I put the turbo in lol. Looks much better, and keeping my underhood temps down is key. Feels good to be able to build more than 2psi of boost again!

 

i stopped running gaskets between the manifold and turbo. i got tired of blowing them out and having to change them. didnt have any issues without them. that is if the flanges are machined nicely

 

I'd love to go vband down the road

 

My depining tools aren’t working but that’s ok it’s coming along.

 

I was fine before, but now I'm questioning myself and am scared too......

 

Wait what’s going on here

 

Its warmed back up here and my truck fires up and runs the first time now, so im just sittin here waiting... Well actually i developed the torque converter lock up shutter from 4-5 once the tranny gets up to temp so i just drive in 4 till i get to 40 mph and kick it over so im prolly good on major stuff

 

Can't depin as it is glued in on the body plug side.

 

@Jstand Not sure you have this but this is the current wiring.

 

Yes thx I’ve converted all of the wires from the 2rz to the 3rz harness on paper and just started the actual process.

 

@Jstand For the o2 sim it would be

>>>> Black = ground E1
>>>> White= intercept O2 sensor wire O2X sensor side
>>>> white with green = o2 sensor O2X ecu side
>>>> Red = 12 volt power B+ switched

Off the top of my head I believe that is correct but I would check the white and white/green can't remember which is ecu and which is sensor side.

 

It was white and white/green just as you remembered. I connected to OX2

 

How much further have you left to go on the wiring?

 

I just barely started 18 more wires to transfer over. I'll try to finish tonight and I'll take a pic. I won't be able to install it yet plus I need to finish filing the exhaust manifold but I'm ready to start tuning just not the truck.

 

Is that a multi-layer steel gasket?

 

The gasket that came with my LCE header was multi-layer steel.

 

And here it is. I just need to make sure if the cam sensor needs to be hooked up or not.

 

This thread makes me feel like @Torspd...
I miss having boost in my life.
