Node, did you disappear?

Weasy2k · 02-28-2006, 11:33 PM

He will return

111db · 03-03-2006, 06:38 AM

I'm interested. Count me in the group that posted earlier just looking for mild performance improvement without fuel or trans mods.

What, if any, impact does the turbo have on the cat and 02 sensors? Also, is there any change to emissions?

I've never owned a vehicle with a turbo, does this CT-26 use engine oil or is it an integral oil system? If it uses engine oil, I assume oil change frequency would be increased, correct?

Node - can we see any pics of your 3.4 truck installation yet?

Weasy2k · 03-03-2006, 05:34 PM

He hasnt done anything yet becuase he doesnt have access to a truck...sooooo if someone in the Carolina area would contact him...maybe you can be a test bed or something

...hint hint nudge nudge....

Also any power upgrade will afect your tranny...cant really get away from that

Yes its engine oil like all turbos and if you use the right oil and the right shut down procedure then you dont need to change it as often as people say

111db · 03-04-2006, 06:33 AM

Thanks Weasy

Ok, well when I read post #129 and Node said "3.4 rig" I guess I assumed he had a truck that it was installed in. Maybe on a test stand?

Anyway, Trans mods: they were only mentioned here on the thread in relation to max output T/C, correct? The TRD S/C installation doesn't need any trans mods, right? I understand if you're looking for 300(+) HP that some sort of mod would be needed, but surely the stock trans can handle 225(+-) RWHP, no? As I stated in the previous post, I'm looking for mild highway towing and hill gains, not to snap axles or pull stumps. Just trying to clarify what exactly you mean for mods. [edit- Weasy - just checked your s2s site - cool Taco project - but not at all what I'm aiming for performance wise]

Wish I were a little closer to the Carolinas...

Weasy2k · 03-04-2006, 09:33 AM

No it wasnt installed to anything...he thought he had a test rig but that ended up going south as well as the 3vz-e 3.0L one.

Transmission:
At 7psi on the stock s/c your tranny will feel the effects of even that added pressure 240whp can be attained even with the stock tranny.
Its when you go full throttle in first to second which really kills the tranny.
If you dont race around in your truck then you should be fine as shifting is the biggest issue.

Stock output is 160-170whp...maybe N/A route is something you should go? I am going to release a N/A power cam soon for the 5vz along with valve springs. Maybe that would be someting you would be interested in?

I have a MR2 that im putting the 5vz in which will be n/a for this year and going FI in the off season

I will test my cams out in that engine so you guys can see what the N/A stock with cams is like (no porting or valve work done in this engine)

111db · 03-04-2006, 12:03 PM

Sure I'd consider a cam as an alternative. Maybe you could start another thread with pertinent info so we don't clutter up this one.

Weasy2k · 03-04-2006, 12:52 PM

there is a fairly large on

S2S 262 cams

Node wont mind he is getting a couple sets from me to test the turbo cams that im making.

tv4184 · 03-19-2006, 10:04 AM

Whats the latest update? Haven't heard from node in a while. 3 months already?

oly884 · 04-04-2006, 07:30 PM

Can we assume that there's nothing going on?

tv4184 · 04-04-2006, 09:22 PM

I agree

Weasy2k · 04-04-2006, 10:11 PM

yes, for now...

I plan to start designing a manifold this s[pring once the v6 mr2 is done and my truck is then down for summer.

MTL_4runner · 04-05-2006, 05:04 AM

Has Node made any progress either?

Weasy2k · 04-05-2006, 10:37 AM

As far as i know from talking to him, no he has focused on his V6 projects/school work. He may be going back to doing a turbo kit once he isnt so busy.

This of course is from me talking to him...

mudnsnow · 04-29-2006, 07:28 PM

Any Progress???

tv4184 · 04-29-2006, 07:40 PM

If anyone's interested theres a guy that finished developing a turbo kit for the 3.4 on customtacos.

Weasy2k · 04-30-2006, 04:32 AM

I too am working on a couple kits for the 5vz this summer once my car is done and the truck can rest.

Turbo and s/c kits...

Are you talking about Gadget? Did he finally finish it?

Got a link?

C'mon Johnny!

tv4184 · 04-30-2006, 08:55 AM

No its not gadget. Its some guy with the name speedfactory206. Here is the thread.

http://www.customtacos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61280

Here is the actual post with the completed pictures of the turbo in the runner.

http://www.customtacos.com/forum/sho...&postcount=193

The guy says that production on the kits can start in a bout a week? And he says they're just about a little bit more than a supercharger.

Weasy2k · 04-30-2006, 09:33 AM

crazy as hell! nNice kit...

slick858 · 04-30-2006, 12:29 PM

I want one!

Greedy · 04-30-2006, 02:39 PM

Hello!

My 4runner is the one that SpeedFactory is using for the development of the turbo kit for our 3.4L engines. This one above is actually the system he designed for his tacoma. The kit on my runner has a front mounted intercooler and a smaller sized turbo. I will post build-up pics and descriptions in a new thread right now.

Weasy2k · 04-30-2006, 04:42 PM

right on...that is awsome work!

cant wait to do that on the 5vz mr2 im working on with the new turbo cams
