Turbo BS Thread

I'm trying bro... It drove much better this morning. It went a little rich instead of going super lean under load so that makes me feel better... Whatcha thing about my shaft play?

 

Let the wife take care of that.

 

Is it still making boost? The same as it was before, as in easily. There is always a teeeeeny bit of play. I didn't see yours touching the compressor housing.

 

I havent really got on it... Today was the first day it didnt act like a beat puppy

 

In a month or so that is

 

It do make boost but I took pictures instead of video... It bottomed torque afrs to 12.1 instantly and the boost bounced around a little haha too much fuel but boost is boost.... Kinda

 

Welded in 3” exhaust yesterday. There’s an Aero (Jones) resonator behind those other boxes too. It’s quiet except under 25mph and going up a hill- it grunts a little then. Going up H3 usually requires 3.5-6psi, this morning required .5-3.3psi
I’m happy, sig other not so much

 

Better flow, less restriction, moar powa, less throttle, all smiles.

 

My Dad has a 2016 TRD Sport 4x4,in dash nav, manual 6spd, extra cab just like mine, not 4 door, its got the rear 1/2 doors I wish I had, and its the one with the scoop, its at 40k and super mint. He wants me to sell my truck and take his. He has a V8 4runner hes in love with, understandably, and at the same time doesnt want to let this truck go, but doesnt need it either.

I think Im an idiot if I dont do this, but I really wanna do this turbo thing on the 5VZ. Ive owned my truck for about 6 years now, and am finally satisfied with the power.

This should be an easy call but Im really struggling with it.

 

What’s the problem? No rules against having two Tacos

 

Ive gotta choose one............cant have both

 

Keep this one. You don't want that minivan engine.

 

Hey guys. Looking to hear from the turbo 3rz guys. I just bought 4running daily’s turbo parts that were for sale.

This came with most of the main components, minus an ECU.
My question for you all is what ECU are you running? Also, this will be my first time building a turbo car so any advice is appreciated.

 

Use a Haltech, if you have nothing. My choice at least.

 

I second this. Haltech rules...

 

Look through the links in this quote. Old, but possibly helpful as well.

 

What spark plugs are you guys using with the 2tr-fe?

 

I will know better when I get the motor and start playing around with it.

 

I wish I was a haltech. Probably my next mod once I wrap up the current stuff.
I run an ngk iridium plug one step cooler than stock around a .028” gap.
