Turbo BS Thread

The quick answer is no.

It makes sense that the destroked version would be easier to make power with on stock internals. The 2.7l is a big breather, and needs headwork to truly help it breathe easier. The next biggest upgrade beyond head studs and headgasket is a cam and springs.

And yeah, as good as Toyota is with making some motors stout, they seem to let their V6s run with the weakest internals. Why make powder rods when your forged rods are so good? Ugh....

 

So all you guys running rotella in your taco what do you think !!!

 

Doesn't matter what they "think." That is the info right there. If there is one man to trust when it comes oil, trust Lucario Runner. As well as the engineers making the oil.

 

YES SIR

 

I wasted $50 on that oil change last night with Rotellahopefully i can run a couple thousand mile before next change unless its that bad ill change it again soon

 

man Walmart has 5qt jugs of mobile 1 0w40 for like $25 and it says right on the jug that its approved for bmws and benz and stuff and things so it (note that 1qt is like $12 so I usually buy 2 5qt jugs since I need ~5.5 qt)

 

So EURO spec > USA spec?

 

Off the shelf, generally.


Old news. EPA mandated zddp cut.

 

New news for me.

 

Somewhere around 8 years ago.

 

Question: When I'm driving on the freeway just cruising it seems like a constant cycle spool then bov back and forth even if I just barely let off. Do I need a stronger spring in the bov?

 

depends on what you want.

 

You have have a boost gauge, yes? Are you referring to when the needle is at "0" on the gauge, and you let off? Then you hear a blow off?

How many inches of vacuum does the gauge show at idle?

Use that as a reference for the bov spring, or preload.

 

OK it sounds like this is normal turbo stuff I'm very new to turbos yes it's when the gauge is at 0 starting to boost and then even if you let off even just a little bit you can here recerculation from bov. Vacuum at idle is between -8 and -10 psi

 

Maybe I need to gain some experience and leave you guys alone

 

Wow. That doesn't pull much vacuum at idle.

What is everyone else with an RZ pulling at idle?

 

You are in the learning phase, of what your new normal is.

 

My boost gauge is T'd in where the power steering goes to the intake is that right

 

maybe his gauge reads psi instead of inches of Hg
