Bolt on turbo kit (5 Viewers)

[ThomasMore66]

Ok Sorry if this is answered in the previous 52 pages. Flame away if needed, but how is this kit expected to impact economy?

You mean fuel economy? If it’s like my supercharged Tacoma, that’s 100% on your right foot.

 

[cowboyjack]

As it should be. Pay up or shut up.

Okay, so how do us ordinary mudders get on the “cool kids, I’m ready to put my money where my mouth is” list ?

Ditto, I'm definitely in for a kit. Have a rebuild planned this summer...

I'll buy one if Joey can sneak it past CARB

No sneaking. It’ll be fully legit

Oh yeah? How far along are you in that process?

 

[LCHardriver_02]

I want yo be on the cool kids list too but I'm still paying for a full rebuild on mine. It IS on my list though!

Will CARB cert drive the price up?

 

[saltycoconuts]

At this speed I’m selling my obd1 80 to buy the turbo and just keep the turbo until I get an obd2 cruiser. Lol

Absopositively! I’m not doing a “49 state” and then a second version for CA and Canada. One turbo to rule them all. If I can’t get it certified then it’s a loss for everyone especially me.

I am sure you are well down the road on the CARB route, but this is an interesting “guide”. Only 80 pages...

Printed it, read it, marked it up. I’m working with SEMA to do all the testing and hand holding. I’ll post up what I learn as it happens.

sorry if this has been asked before @NLXTACY , but what are the advantages to this turbo over the trd supercharger? considering something different if it makes sense. On another post I saw it makes about the same amount of boost. I believe one benefit is that the turbo will spool up faster than a sc, correct? Just thought this was a good discussion to have.

It’ll destroy it but you’ll have a decent collection of panties.

and unlike Tequilla panty dropper, no hangover with this kit.

The other issue is that the SC isn’t available. It’s also not an option for people in CARB states

Absopositively!

That both sucks and blows for us 49 staters. I'd be curious to know what percentage of the final price subsidized the CARB cert process. I certainly understand the business benefit of getting the CARB cert though.

 

[ThomasMore66]

I feel like rules change and if you comply with CARB you're good everywhere. Some of us have emission checks that vary in intensity.
