Guestimating 1200 to get up and running. Test drives could be arranged

Test drive, when you're good-n-ready, count me in. Would love to experience your efforts and see if doing the same is in the cards for me.

Keep going!!!

Ordered my Air Fuel meter today AEM Electronics X-Series Wideband UEGO Air/Fuel Sensor Controller Gauges 30-0300 $196.65 added to the tally. I could have gone with a less expensive option but Air/Fuel ratio is kind of an important thing to get right.

Running Tally $614.08

Well just got word back from the turbo shop. The Toyota turbo is non repairable. So the search is on for another one.

Ron, lots of the guys in Australia upgrade their turbos, most are diesel, they might have a network to find one that has been removed for an upgrade.

Worth checking with the big board and ask.

Turbo on a 3FE, ingenious! Good luck with your project.

Well got the turbo sorted. Picked up a garret t4-e. Thanks for the referral to forced air tech @murf. They are really amazing guys.

 

[Dimples]

Oh ya cost was 400.

How is the t4-e cooled?

 

[Dimples]

Oil only.

New catalytic converter and muffler order. All new exhaust will be done in 3 inch. Looks like my estimate of build cost was a little on the conservative side. Oh well it's only money right. Catalytic converter Flowmaster 2250230 $71.98 Muffler Summit Racing SUM-633253 $31.97

Running tally $1118.03

Most of us had to live on Ramen at one time or another, so don't let a budget deter you

I'm not stopping, but it is going to slow me down a little before I get to go fast.

Nothing can slow you down better than a FJ80

It is really good with a scrambled egg and some veggies.

My son eats it almost daily, adds onion, peas, chicken, hoisin sauce and Sriracha.

Now that sounds like a winning combo. Might do ramen bowls for the next potluck

What are your thought for the approach on a manifold?

 

[Dimples]

With the garret's configuration I am going to cut most of the manifold away to make it as straight of a shot from the exhaust ports to the turbo. The EGR will have to be replumbed before the turbo. Unless at its age the extra emissions equipment can come out.
