98 TRD 3.4L Turbo , Methanol , LT

Lol, that was exactly my feeling after I did my oil pan. I didn't loosen anything on the steering column.

 

I cant. I had to clock it a little so the drain would fit. It was hitting the t4 part of the flange and I couldn't tighten up the oil drain without clocking the center housing of the turbo......

 

Same here. Im going to take a trip to a fab company one of these days to see about a new drain line.

 

Finished....minus the cat back.....it's a work of art.

 

You might need a bigger an fitting. I have an12 I think. No leaks so far. Accept for my methanol spraying non stop and me not noticing. Wasted a .5 gallon of washer fluid. No biggie. Needs tuned. Omg boosted Tacomas are fast. Day and night over stock. My 32" tires start breaking loose in 2nd gear easy.

 

WOW!! That set up really came out awesome! Very Clean... Do you have any pics of your drain line set up? How's the tuning working out so far?

 

Needs lots of tuning. Ecu takes time to learn too. Plus my rear 02 sensor is still hanging. Putting on exhaust tomorrow.

 

What was the approximate total cost?

 

Cost...... Difficult to figure. I'd estimate around $2600. I also have a good methanol system and expensive failsafe and wideband/boost controller, exhaust...... Turbo is billet and bb. Full spool at just over 2000rpm. Could easily do for $1500 or less......power is unbelievable.

 

Tough to see exhaust but it's in there. Zoom in......



Exhaust sound is incredible. Have a borla muffler with 200 cell high flow cat dumping right before the axle.

nice. Thats not bad at all.

What turbo exactly? Or full specs on it. Im curious.

Absolutely badass for the money. Doesn't leak a drop. Gt30. Exhaust housing is perfect sized. Don't know why guys are running tiny turbos on a 3.4L 6cyl. I've seen guys run bigger turbos on civics.

 

Most cars rev up higher and faster though. Our power band that tops out at 5.5k is definetely something different.
I replaced that sensor and it's worse than ever now
Hooked the old one back up and still very bad. Getting P0300 misfire code on 3rd and 5th cylinder. The truck's exhaust smells like pure poison but AFRs are 14.7 at idle
Won't rev above 4k RPMs

 

Nice. Id have gone for this one.

They are a big turbo.71mm is t small. It's big.

The one I posted has a smaller exhaust a/R ratio for even fast spool.

 

It does but it's not 3" vband. Also I look at the mm size, not ar. The wheels are 53mm and 62. Plus billet and bb spool 500rpm faster.

 

^this. His turbo is perfect for his HP goal and powerband. All AR means is the volume inside the cold and hot side outlet housings. The power is all in the efficiency of the hot side's housing (combination of gas to turbine contact and overall exhaust flow) and the turbine's ability to push air and its resistance to friction and momentum (weight). The cold side AR number means almost nothing.

 

Umm...are you guys blind?? That turbo is literally the same turbo he has. It's a 71mm inducer. But the exhaust housing a/R is much smaller which means even faster spool.

Yea it's not a cb and. But that's the only difference. It's the same turbo otherwise.

 

Smaller wheels on both cold and hot sides have less rotating mass, hence faster spool. I once was blind, but now I see.
