does it pass smog

 

[chimmike]

smog passing? Hahaha...don't count on it.

What kind of power is it putting down? What are the afr's and what management is being used?

It will pass the tail pipe test. You will need a friend to let the visual inspection slide. The truck will come with a smog.

Stock ecu and fuel system with land tank's MAF.
10.8 afr WOT with 5.8psi
11.3 afr WOT with 8.5psi

I do not know how much power it is making, I raced a FJ cruiser. I know that the fj cruiser are slow also but this is the only thing I have to gauge the truck with. I was able to pull on the FJ cruiser very easy. FJ cruiser guys must like picking on lx 450s or something I have had three of them try me out.

So what does the turbo do to MPG?

MPG is the same.

inherintly the turbo does not really affect the mpg of the 1FZ-FE.

in some instances it even improves what the tractor is capable of achieving mpg.

that is a AWESOME truck! great build and effort into it... very clean and the landcruiser i'd get if i were looking for one.

that's pretty odd how it doesn't effect the MPG... i'm very curious what the AFR is on a bone stock land cruiser... i'm thinking it's running richer than the AFR figures that you recorded WITH your turbo.

16-17 mpg is 2-3 mpg better than the norm i think...?

i didn't know turbonetics made a turbo manifold for our 1fz-fe!? that's great to hear... the fabricating of the down pipe and intercooler pipes don't look TOO complicated??

how did you mount the oil feed and return lines?

either way, sorry for the ramble on and best wishes with the sale!

long shot but can you get a video of your car driving etc?
