Look what santa brought me

 

sweet

 

You must have been very good!

 

finally after two months waiting for the new exhuast manifold to arrive.I had two problems tho.First i had a stripped bolt thread on the head for the manifold, put in a helicoil for the first time way to cool!!!! Second had to tap the manifold threads to 1,50 for the turbo adapter plate.I want to thank jason at TEC TURBOS for all he did for us so far. My son and i cant wait to get this truck running again.Not bad for a novice mechanic.

 

Where'd you get the adapter and how much did it cost?
Which turbo is that - looks like a garrett, but which one and what AR?

 

it came from http://www.turboengineering.com, ask for jason owns a toyota turbo himself. we got a whole kit which included an adaptor plate, t3 turbo, down pipe with flex joint, exhaust system, and all oil lines, gaskets, and a new O2 sensor, and we also ordered a new exhaust manifold for about 1900 bucks. he turbo is a garrett T3 AR60.

 

Ahh.. It's the TEC kit! I've read pretty good things about it. Let me know if you ever do a dyno run...

 

Looks good!

 

what motor are you putting this on? 22re im guessing??

 

Yeah, It's a John Deere colored turbocharged 22re with bad @$$ written all over it. I'm envious.

 

x2 that

 

bump- thanks guys i cant do anything without the help and info i get from you guys

 

TEC kit, very cool.

I know it's supposed to be a straight bolt in, but because of the extra distance away from the manifold due to the adapter plate, is there any fit issue with the stock intake pipe to the TB?

You'd better get a dyno done! I know Darin will dyno his, so I'm curious to see what different turbo/goodie combinations will do what.

 

:cry: this is a jealousy cry. i miss all my turbo vehicles. turbo+heavy foot=tree or rear end of a chevy blazer. enjoy it while ya have it.

 

yea bill we have to cut the pipe to make it fit to the throttle body but we havent gotten that far yet. I hope to dyno ,Darins rig is bad a$$ also im learning alot from his build

 

beeeutiful!!

But I have a question, why the log turbo manifold and not an individual runner turbo mani?

 

stronger/less prone to cracking, cheaper.

 

once you go turbo you wont go back

 

yup i'm looking at a 87 turbo ext cab near me tommorow ,i'll take my camera and get pics
i had an 87 reg cab turbo before and parted it out like a dumbass
