So I was traveling last week and was given the keys to a brand new Prius. It was either the Prius or a mini-van so the Prius it was.
While the Prius had impressive performance and even more impressive mileage, (I only put 5 gallons of fuel in it after driving 300 miles through the hills of...
Like the title says. Turbo R151F from a 1987 4x4 truck. Complete from Bellhousing to Transfer Case. No shifters. Would definitely need a rebuild, sat outside from PO. (stored inside a shipping container now). I'm in Apache Junction AZ (Phoenix). Shipping not really possible. Come and get it. I...
I have a 1993 HDJ81 Imported from Japan with a 1HDT 4.2L turbo diesel. Running 33 inch tires on the 16 inch wheels. Axle gear ratio I believe is 4.11.
Thinking about running 4.88 or 5.13s to help with the turbo lag that is present from a dead stop to acceleration. Seems like the turbo kicks in...
friends and colleagues,
I finally got my turbo installed on my 78 BJ40 3B (from a 1981 BJ60) and had it running well when my engine seized during shut down a couple days ago. We’re going to pull the oil pan soon to discern whether there may be a simple fix, but if there isn’t, I am very...
I heard an unusual noise in my 13B engine that started relatively suddenly. It does have an after market turbo…if that matters.
I pulled the valve cover and found these unattached laying freely inside. What are they?
Thanks
I'm in the process of solving two minor issues with the turbo and It's been running flawlessly.
I think I have excessive PCV going into the intake of the compressor, which is making its way down the gullet after coating the compressor fins. I'm able to clean the fins easily but this is...
If you’re looking for an insanely fun turbo Land Cruiser you’re in the right place. If you’re looking for a comfy daily driver, I’d keep looking. I built this truck as an exercise in what you could do with a rough starting point, elbow grease and a lot of parts. It wasn’t built for comfort...
I installed a mamba ct26 turbo on my 1hd-ft and realized that I didn’t adjust the preload correctly.
Is there a way to change the preload without taking the turbo off?
Since the Turbo Owners thread is locked, I am posting a new thread.
I opened the the hood today (pre-trip) discovered oil residue on the exterior bottom of the compressor housing.
I’ve had no issues for 2+ years (<10k miles) so I don’t imagine there’s an issue with the turbo bearings...
It sits in the back of my mind that when one day I can afford to replace the old nearly 700 k km 1hz in my 80 I'd like another 1hz not a 1hdt and fit a turbo kit myself. But there are plenty of offerings - DTS, HP Diesel, etc.
Being a pleb with no turbo diesel experience they all basically look...
I have recently fit a turbo tap / boost tee to my 1996 land cruiser it now makes a futter constantly even at 8psi just cruising.
Just to clarify nothing has been done other than turned up fuel and boost at 16/17 psi and a plastic snorkel.
I can't turn my PSI down from those numbers is my boost...
Which one of you is going to figure out how to swap in the 3.4L I-Force Max Hybrid into an 80? Go ahead and throw the 10 speed transmission in there too.
Anyone have a used turbo exhaust elbow from an FTE laying around(turns basically 90 deg to the rear and down)? I know I can buy new but hoping for cheaper/faster as used...
TIA
I don’t post very often and typically ask questions that have been asked a million times but… I would like to know if anyone has any experience with installing either a turbo or a supercharger on the LC 200 (‘18) gas V8. I have 33x10.5 BFG KO2 on 2” Ikon lift and pull an 12’ enclosed trailer on...

And I want to add a turbo on it which turbo set up would you recommend me?
