This week I have been working on another 5VZ Turbo swap into an MR2. I am welding up two more sets of single turbo manifolds with T4 flanges ETC (two motors worth). This got me thinking, every V6 swap I have done has been turbocharged. I wonder how many people would be interested in putting a turbo on their trucks.
So, If I had a "kit" available for the 3.4L how many people (Given good quality pics etc) would buy one today. The kit would include replacement manifolds, possibly a turbo and perhaps even a downpipe. Of course it would require a battery relocation since the turbo would sit up high near the battery and the intake would be exactly where the battery sits. This would help avoid water ingestion (for you off road guys). The kit would be designed as a non intercooled setup running 7 psi but could easily be intercooled with some more pipe.
What would you be willing to pay for a kit with the eventual potential of just above 300bhp and full boost available at ~2800 RPMs? Im trying to estimate if volume production would make these affordable. Im looking for lots of input here
