all economical and viable options

 

I don't recall anyone mentioning a budget.
But if one is going to do something, and is commited to doing it, may as well offer useful suggestions, no?

 

never mind i figured it out.

and way to go abe, i bet you he never even gave any of that any thought

 

I don't know.

 

lol... If I had his budget for Turboing a 3.0h, I'd buy a FzJ80!




Or hell, an Fj80 for that matter... Nothing wrong with a 3F(or)E(ver) as long as you're realistic about tires and gears... (They're not worth a penny over $3,000 though... That's ppl trying to sell them b/c they don't know the differances for you)

 

Some people do things for the sake of doing them. To each their own.

 

yes to each their own but some things are just not worth the trouble. if you want forced air induction then motor swap to a motor that was made for forced induction. like i don't take a beach cruiser and mod it to go mountain biking lol.

 

never a $4 hammer around when you need one...

 

Tracey Just use a small screwdriver.
Abecederian that is some valuable informatio.
At the moment I an thinkin. Cheap buget, well to me its costing me nothing.
All be keeping it single and keeping the turbo in the engine bay. It's my offroad and de truck

Sorry double post

 

yeah i figured it out right after that.
i leaned it out 3 clicks and got a little more low-end.
thumbs up on that mod from me

and i really want you to get a working turbo set up on a 3vze. i would be impressed and would consider trying it myself if you succeed. this is one of those things where i don't want to be the first one to jump but i am willing follow when i am assured the first guy survived lol.

 

run a smallish turbo off the driver's side manifold at 5psi and dont use an intercooler

 

ok ya i was the same waiting for some one to do somethin use full for this engine, but one was this guy here i forgot his name he was putting camery heads and 3.4 tbh on a 3vze block but the project was never done. that one involves removing the motor, my truck is a dd so i cant stop it for that long

 

I had a '92 4Runner with 3.0 in it and decided the lack of power was killing me...


... so I bought a supercharged 3rd gen, sold the '92, and never looked back.

 

It might be worth pointing out that installing the 5VZE in place of the 3VZE costs about as much as rebuilding a 3VZE (around 1500-2000 or so) and nets comparable power gains, if not modestly better even, to boosting a 3VZE to 7 PSI or so, without the inherent disadvantages of turbo'ing an already marginal engine.

 

yea, what abe said! tried and tested 3.4 or 3.4 supercharged. the 3.poop0 will be a headache for sure. it would be like trying to shove a footlong down an anerxic's throat. it wasnt meant to be boosted or there would be SOMEONE that has done it and has been successful. 3.4 man, as close to drop in as you can get.

 

You're only gonna think you have more Torque when you're towing and be all Ricky Bobby and, "Hey y'all, watch this!" And every bit of new power, plus the load you're gonna put on that engine towing will be in the heads...

Heads, head gaskets, 3.0... ring a bell?

No one EVER gets more power and drives it like they did before... NO BODY! You will be hauling ass in that thing every chance you get.

 

i am guilty of this as well

 

i know i might beat on it a bit but i wont get carried away and abuse it thats why i got a car on the side with more power
