I'm in the market to buy a toyota pick-up and i've seen a 1986 pickup with a 2.4L turbo .... were they like this out of the box??? or is it something that the guy made by himself?

If they came from toyota like this, are they reliable? if they broke... are the parts easy to find? what are the spec of this engine?

thanx a lot

This site should answer all your questions.

Yes, they came turbo'd on some models.

 

thanx a lot..... its a lot of reading but i'll try to do my best!

anyone else have something to say?

 

I had a turbo 4runner, and they are a little more peppier than the non turbos. Plus, there are a few easy ways to get more power out of them. Get the turbo truck if you can, you won't regret it.

This is Jeff Moskovitz's site and he's done quite a lot to his turbo truck.

 

for all of you who own one of these truck... did you have any problem with them?

 

I had mine for 14 years and no problems except a couple sets of valve seals. The main thing (as on any turbo) is if the maintenance was done religiously and care was taken not to heat soak the turbo. ie run it hard and then shut the motor off without letting the turbo cool. There is a small oil line that feeds the turbo bearings and if you run it hard adn shut it down the line would eventually clog due to the oil coke (basically burnt oil residue) in the line. No oil, bearings fail = new turbo!
