Turbo BS Thread

I've always thought it would be neat to wire a winch up to the cruise control stalk

 

That'd be cool. The ‘one touch’ auto up/down of the electric window switch would be handy for those of us with a manual tranny.

 

I had to give up on stealth. People ask why I don’t have more switches.

 

One of my good friends who's going to be helping with the turbo build sent me this. It's scarily accurate I think.

 

Hey that applies to me! I do need larger brakes

 

Doing the big turbo upgrade on my roommates fiata tonight. Going well so far.

 

Ex coworker just got a Precision 8284 for his Cheby truck. It’s replacing a 7276. He had the rear end 4 linked last month. Puts things in perspective quick. Lol. Mostly tunnel vision really.

 

Lmao

 

Remember kids, if you're doing an upgraded turbo that has been "port matched" you should always check what it was port matched to. In this case not the stock header on the car, as the port matched gasket here shows. So we ordered the upgraded header and will be putting this back together in two weeks.



Edit: rather than spend 500 on the header, we're giving it a go with a die grinder to hog out the factory one to port match.

 

EBC pads. Awesome. Paired with Stoptech rotors.

 

I've been looking at the stoptech big brake kit as a serious possibility. And if I start racing it I may look further into a cage.

 

A cheap intermediate solution is upgrading to 4-runner front brakes.

 

Ebc on stock size Stoptech inside 15" rims out performs Tundra upgrades (not 4runner, not Tundra, Tundra upgrades) in 16" rims with Toyota pads. Ebc on those rotors/calipers would be awesome!

Seriously, my Taco with 15" rims and 35s out stops my 4runner with Tundra upgrades with 32s. Ebc pads are awesome.

 

yellow stuff?

 

Yes, that's what I have.

 

For whatever reason I have not head this before. Being a ‘99 and loving my 15” steelies and the fact 33s in this wheel size are nearly dirt cheap, I will be looking into this since I’m due for some brakes sooner than later.

 

Figured ive had a lot of help from yall with my turbo swap, figured ill offer it to yall first. Im doing a sas to 1 tons, so that means my ifs and rear are going away.
Front
Arb with 4.88 and bearing upgrade
Diff to wheel hub

Rear(whole axle)
4.88 with true trac

Asking 2k obo for all of it

 

Guys I have a quick question

My 1uz is running hella rich and I realized I am running 1st gen pistons with a 2nd gen ecu. Both have the same injectors and the only real difference between generations is the compression.

1st gen - 10.0:1

2nd gen - 10.4:1

Would that difference be enough to run super rich? I can see the ecu fuel trims go to -20 and there's still to much fuel.

I know it isn't really a turbo question but you guy know more about tuning than anyone else on here.

 

Just add more boost till it evens out...

 

Not yet lol I just need to finish my current project. One day it'll probably get a supercharger but for now It just needs to be driving it again lol.
