Turbo BS Thread

I usually got about the same kind of mileage according to my UltraGauge Blue. Sometimes it’ll sneak up to 22mpg. It obviously drops some if I’m boosting it like crazy. This is with 33’s and 4.88’s.

Pink tops are the oem injectors that came out of the 01-04 3rz Tacoma motors. They flow around 325cc which is about 10% higher than the brown tops that cane in the earlier models. You can get the off eBay. I have some now in my s/c truck that I might pull out if I can get some other stuff figured out.

4running daily has a pretty nice turbo setup fir sale in the 1st gen classified section if you’re interested.

 

Thanks. I’ve seen that For Sale and I’d love to have it. I’m currently b.r.o.k.e. Laid off and bow back working for 1/2 pay basically. It’ll come.

 

What kind of check valve is everone running to prevent boosting the brake line

Nice any update on the idle?

 

I haven't really had time to mess with it much. I double checked wiring and replaced the idle wire connections with some male/female connectors so that I can quickly switch between some different combos. I need to actually put the MS ECU in the truck now along with the injectors and double check my settings (PWM, Coolant sensor calibration, and TPS Calibration) and see what happens from there. I'll let you know what I figure out (if anything, LOL).
I'm back at work this week (teacher life) so I don't have as much time to mess with stuff as I did the last couple of months....

 

Works been hectic for me too and we only have about 1 month of nice weather left in the northeast so I’m trying to be outside a bunch. I have a new clutch ready to go in and a new oil pan but I still haven’t quite figured out the idle situation

 

No brake booster check valve on 5vz for years- up to 15psi

 

I didn't run a check valve on my booster for about 3 years. Got a 3/8" one on it now after seeing how expensive a booster is. 10 psi at the moment.

I also have egr, pvc, evap, and power steering vent on the manifold either blocked or rerouted.

 

Who's make your manifold?

 

Talking with a company from Australia with their own foundry. Going to be looking to get a cast stainless manifold made

 

Paradise Racing didn't reply to PayPal either, received PayPal refund this morning. Spoke with LCE, they're going to be able to help me out

 

Currently not running a check valve either- except I can't brake boost which slightly annoys me lol. I'll be adding one in, and redoing some of the vacuum lines on my junk.

Today I heard the AC compressor start to take a dump- not seized but it's definitely on its way out. Ordered a new compressor, serp belt, tensioner, and some pulleys to give the ol boy some maintenance love.
Also have a slight bit of oil coming from the compressor housing into my IC piping, but it's nothing more than a slight accumulation of film on the end of the housing, which is pretty normal. Only noticed it when I went to change to T-bolt clamps from worm-drive ones that I forgot I had lmao

Other than that, all is good.

 

If it makes you feel better I have a check valve and can't brake boost because there is not boost when vacuum is at 0psi anyway and that powah become a too great..

 

Come to think of it, it could be because my junk is drive-by-wire so there could be a sensor that prevents accleration while brake pedal is depressed? Someone in here might know...

 

Pull your ABS fuse. Your truck came with the accelerator flash. That when you press the brake, the TB won't allow acceleration.

 

Knew someone would know. Of course it would be you ahahaha

If I did the ABS disable mod, would that have the same effect? Because wiring a toggle for that would be pretty tits. Get one of those CH 4x4 ones that say "Ludicrous speed"

 

Also thinking about doing an O2 dump using one of these flanges, but then again it might just be easier to do a legit EWG setup and cut a hole in the manifold, with the flapper welded shut lol. Thoughts?

 

Iwg does really well until you flow super high
