Turbo BS Thread

He's rough on truck owners, lol. Great truck man. I love it. Sure you get a bunch of guys trying to do pulls against you when they hear the BOV.

 

I'm a rare breed, but I thought about making an option to do mine like a trophy truck. That hole saw notch through the center is what tickles my toes. I just hope I don't get a massive drone.

 

I looooove his truck.

I can't stand the guy though. I was volunteering for a race in el centro, had a radio, was put out on a wide sweeping turn leading into a fat straight. Watched him and Eugenio battling it out, which was exciting, but then I heard good 'ol blowie get on the radio shortly after that complaining to the officials that the conditions were so bad he got passed and couldn't even tell. The communications were obviously hilarious, because you can't fucking pause a race in baja......why complain about the same conditions everyone else is driving in????

Here is the story. lol

I typically can't stand off road racers or at least most in the industry. I'll read that tomorrow

 

Of course. I didn't take as a serious jab. As anyone could see, he just made a play on the words, involving the aire of which an outsider would perceive the things we do as a waste of money, or "dumb". It is an understood, and comes with the territory.

 

That just tickled my reciprocating Dingle arm!

 

So im debating whether or not to put an inline fuel pump or just replace the stock one and the best one to go with anyone have any suggestions anything under $120

^^^^This ^^^^

 

Thanks guys !!

 

I installed a fuel gauge in the engine compartment today from LCEngineering. No Leaks Yea !!

 

So I just bought the fuel pump you guys suggested I want to get it in there as soon as I can

 

Would a high stall converter be practical if im going to be towing. Would it be bad for the transmission even if i run a cooler.

 

I want to twin turbo my Tacoma and wondering about mapping and ECU flashes... From what I understand Toyota makes very hard to mess with the new electronics... Idk... Wish I got an 4.0L and just bought a supercharger. Didn't realize how much slower the new Tacoma would be.

 

For basic stuff like shift points and pedal sensitivity there are plenty of things out look up UCON and shift sense and I believe another company is working on a tune for them
If you're going twin turbo you'll want a stand alone management system anyway from my understanding. As stock injectors +fuel pump are only good for so much boost and youll likely want to be more than that. Why not just a single turbo for the 3.5 what are you hoping to gain for TT?

 

I wouldn't run a higher stall, just run a cooler, and be smart when towing.

 

It doesn't have to be twin... Just would like to run two smaller turbos the get faster spooling for toque at low RPM's and honestly just been looking at some eco boost setups and how I would want to set mine, up. Idk really

 

How much boost can the 3.5 take?

 

Thats a good question that needs answering.

Only a matter of time until people start messing with the 3.5. Start slow and go from there. Can't remember but the bottom end might be fully forged.

Think Lexus twin turbo v6 is the same family as the 3rd gen.
