Ok what i got is a stock ct-20 turbo from a stock 4 runner its rebuilt im not really looking to build alot of boost because of the 3vz headgaskets i just rebuilt my motor about 4000miles ago i have shaved heads ported polished cams true dual exhaust no cross over junk reworked valves and a few other odd and in things the truck really has alot of power compared to the pother ones a have had in the past i can smoke a stock 4 runner with a 5speed and i have stock gears sitting of 36" swampers with 14"wide chevy truck wheels ..but back on topic i really just want the sound and alittle bit more power i just dont want to over load the 3vz so help me out



there are some pictures of the black truck the red truck is my other project 302 conversion

 

Why don't you try gearing it? Not saying it couldn't be done, but 5.29's and a locker would probably be cheaper.

 

Ive installed after market turbos in MX5s and its not as easy as slapping one in, with all the electronics and fuel issues, let alone the dual exhaust set up it would be a lot of fabbing or a twin turbo set up, probaly not worth it but then again anything is possible!

 

slapping a turbo on a turd of an engine still makes it a turd engin, if u want turbo v6 power, get a 4.3 chevy out of a syclone

go over to pirate and search on their forums...

there is a guy who took a buick Grand national turbo setup and plopped it down onto his 3.0... ran up to 12 lbs of boost with stock internals and stock bottom end... so, its feasable... just do some searching...

 

Just so you know, after the turbo fabrication you will need a custom tune for it to run correctly if that is even possible on that ECU. It can be done & would be very neat but gears may be a better bet for your situation. I have had turbo engines running 20 lbs of boost without any issues, but they were "turbo engines" to start with. forged pistons & a strong bottom end with the proper tuning to match.

If you had the 22RE I would say GO FOR IT! Many years ago (1990's) a guy here in Vegas named Dana Westover had at the time the worlds fastest Toyota P/U. 22RE with a custom turbo set up running consistent 12 second passes. Now he has one of the world's fastest street legal Supra's. He knows his Toyota's & turbos.

 

If you do it, you difinitely should use a bigger turbo like a ct26 or a t3. A ct20 won't perform like you would like with the motor work you have done. T3's are much more common and alot cheaper to rebuild

 

well i have the turbo its already rebuild i didnt pay a dime for it so gears are out of the question the truck pulls great i just want something that no one has around this area i like to try different things i just wanted to make sure 7 or 8 pounds of boost wouldnt trash the motor

 

this is a budget build i have already built a 87 toyota witha 302 and a toyota with a 22rte i wanna see what a 3.0 has with a turbo set up im a young mechanic for toyota so i will have parts at hand

 

There you go: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showt...ight=3vz+turbo

 

There are other options out there for fuel managment such as "5th" injector
for us it would be a "7th" or actually "8th " injector if you count cold start.

Another very viable option is the rate of rise FPR I have used these at my previous job, we built volkswagen turbo systems to 340whp utilizing this method.'
And since our ignition timing can be set manually You could tune with the rate of rise and timing retard for low boost no problem.

Explain to me more about this fpr

 

automatic or 5spd?
I have a 5 spd and was wondering about the lag or boost control at shifting points. or do you start out in second gear?...lol...geez man I would LOVE to do that to my 3.0!

 

Well if you are looking for more low end power then super charge your engine. A turbo will not give you a lot of low end power. They need to spool up before the become efficient. Just my 2 cents.

 

jeremy, ill turbo mine and you supercharge yours.

We will do two things.

See whos motor pops first, and see who wins various racing situations with it

 

I want to SAS my rig but I havent the time or money....any solid axle swaps done on a budget?

 

Ok Mike, you buy all of the stuff needed for it, and you got yourself a deal!!!

 

its a 5 speed and lord no i have to start out in first it doesnt not like starting off in 1st in prob going to regear it soon i really only have a problem starting off up a steep hill takes alot to move them heavy 36's with 14" wide steel wheels ...i can be running about 45-50mph in second gear if im not mistaking at 4500rpm its somewhere around that rpm range

 

well im on a budget and i already have everything for the turbo and yea i need more low end but o well gears will fix that

 

hahah i bet mine will pop first with my compression [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQTH059lRlM[/YOUTUBE]
