ROTW - TurboCruiser
First, I wanted to write that this ROTW feature is fabulous; I have loved looking at all the absolutely awesome rigs featured throughout this series!
Second, I wanted to write out some special thanks to some special people … Dad who helped hook me on cars in general (everything from cool muscle cars to Mercedes classic coupes), to cruisers in specific (he had 80 series and 100 series) – thanks Dad!!! Brother who always aggravated me for my attempts at “perfect perfectionism” when it came to cars; this indeed inspired me to perfect that perfectionism just to aggravate him in return – thanks Brother!!! Thanks to the fine folks at Slee who have helped immensely with awesome advice, amazing products, and awesome service at all times; my rig really exists as it is through the fine folks at Slee. And lastly, thanks to “Dan the Man” who sells me sweet parts at sweet prices – thanks Dan!!!
Like most of our other members rigs featured so far, my rig represents part of who I am in general and part of what I want in an amazingly versatile offroad vehicle in specific. Although most of what I want is installed at this point, the rig, like all our awesome rigs, is a work in waiting at all times. I have always attempted to emphasize the “amazingly versatile” as written above; my rig is not intended to be the best extreme rock crawler cruiser (Slee’s Short Bus for example) or the best extreme rocket racer cruiser (Bin Sulayem’s 800 bhp twin turbo cruiser for example) and yet it kicks ass in all but the most extreme of either style.
Anyway without further wait:
Vehicle: 1997 FZJ80 Land Cruiser, Factory Locked & Loaded, 140,000 miles.
Major Engine Mods:
Safari Turbocharger
Safari Intercooler
Special NGK Sparkplugs
Turbo Timer
3” Ceramic Coated Ball Mandrel Bent Exhaust Tubing From Turbo Back
3” High Performance/ High Flow Magnaflow Catalytic Converter
3” High Performance/ High Flow Magnaflow Muffler
Major Suspension Mods:
OME 2.5” Heavy Duty Suspension System
Sway Bar Brackets
OME Castor Correction Bushings
Front Double Cardan Driveshaft
33” REVOS
Major Brake Mods:
DBA Slotted & Drilled Rotors Front & Rear
PBR High Performance Pads Front & Rear
Slee Stainless Steel Brake Lines Front & Rear
Major Protection Mods:
ARB Front Bumper
Slee Step Sliders
Slee Transfer Case Skid Plate
Self Made Super Strong Exhaust Skid Plate
Other Minor Mods:
Greddy Coolant Temperature Adaptor & Sensor
Greddy Coolant Temperature Gauge
Garmin GPS System
Alpine Audio System
Uniden Pro 520 XL CB Radio
Center Differential Lock Switch
Center Differential Lock Pin 7 Modification
Auto Meter Boost Gauge
Auto Meter Air/Fuel Gauge
Slee Dual Gauge Pillar Pod
Slee Slider Caps For Flares
Slee Hi-Lift Roof Rack Mounts
Husky Liners All Around
Orbital Battery
Maintenance Method:
Everything you expect from an overly anal retentive worry wart who loves to work on his own rig!!! --- Mobil One everywhere, synthetic brake fluid, synthetic brake grease, most every hose replaced, every belt replaced, most every vacuum line replaced, every filter replaced, cooling system flushed twice annually, brake system flushed once annually, all service intervals strictly followed for “extreme service setting” according to FSM. Lots of leatherique on leather!!!
Future Mods:
Slee Rear Bumper
Warn Winch
Slee Relay Rods
Thanks all!!!

No BOV = Blow Off Valve ?
Blow off and bypass valves play a vital role in any turbo system because they not only improve the performance of your vehicle but they also increase the longevity of the turbocharger as well.

Nice looking truck.
With those engine mods sound like some serious power.
Have you had it on a dyno to see what it puts out

Hi LX, as far as i understand it, with low level boost (>10 psi) and an automatic transmission, external blow off valves are not as necessary. Also, as far as i understand it, the Safari turbo has internalized compressor bypass valve (same thing as blow off valve except the excess pressure pushes somewhere safely into the intake system instead of to outside atmosphere), however, I have heard arguments asserting that there is indeed no true CBV as well so who knows? Perhaps the turbo experts can elaborate? The Safari turbo does indeed have internalized wastegate. HTH.

Thanks man, yes some serious power, the previous owner, a super cool cruiser head himself, told me that a dyno run produced approx 375HP at the wheels!!! I have not had the thing dynoed although at some time I want to perhaps after another few modifications like Supra fuel pump and performance increase injectors. HTH.

Nice rig dude! I would love to be able to affordably get my hands on a Turbo.
First question: Are a blow-off valve and a waste gate the same thing?
Second: Did that header protection come with the turbo, or did you fab that up?

No. A blow off valve is a device that vents excess boost pressure from the intake stream when the throttle plate closes. A waste gate routes exhaust pressure around the turbine to control the amount of boost a turbo is producing.
