Turbo BS Thread

Panty hose work as a good alternative in a pinch.

 

My filter wears prefilter is like 2 years old holding up great.

 

You guys seen these cut-off/grinding wheels before? https://millnertools.com/products/a...738940099&pr_ref_pid=326261175&pr_seq=uniform

 

Saw the video of a sales guy demonstrating one while holding onto the guard of the grinder and cutting towards his hand. I was clenching just watching it.

I did too. Either bursting with confidence, or ignorant.

 

I've used one with diamond on the leading edge. It was ok. Bit sketchy.

 

Well if he ever does cut a thumb off, he probably won't do it again... Unless they can reattach it, then I suppose there is a chance

 

So have I. Works really good on non metal applications. Not nearly as quickly as the one in the demonstration. Must be in the grit size.

 

looks familiar. I feel your pain. I just wrapped my efi crap up behind dash. Sucked.

 

Who is the 3rz turbo guru? I need to bounce some questions off of he/she….

I bought a new reman 2.7l a few years back and had it swapped in for my turbo 3rz build. I’m going to start tearing the engine down and want to know the suggestions while it’s sitting on the engine stand.

My friend still has a few 3rz engine goodies available.

 

Easy one is delete the balance shafts. LCE is a good company for that and most other 3rz engine performance stuff.

 

My current engine from Yotaone has the delete in it. I was most curious along the line of needing a stronger bottom end or just roll with what I got. I’m not looking for fun and solid!

That looks like a good price!

 

Fooling around with a 1GR merge design, as well as a T3 merge for a 2TR.

 

If you’re keeping it at or below 300whp the stock bottom end is good. If you want more, forged rods and pistons, ARP main & head studs and ARP rod bolts, and you should be able to turn it up quite a bit.

 

With that combo listed above, the engine will be able to output far more than the oem transmissions can handle. That's easily 800 plus crank power capable.

With the balancing shafts removed. And o-rings around the cylinders.

 

Have you heard if anybody has o-ringed a 2tr block?

 

You should be the guinea pig with one of those spare blocks you have lying around…

 

Only those trying for the 1K mark. Some over the 1k mark have gone to larger diameter head studs.
