Two pictures attached. Showing some of the parts of the kit and also the front with intercooler mounted. Really need one of those Japanese big mouth kits with ground effects
> 6psi is pretty conservative. I would like a duel stage boost controller set say ~14 psi, for the spur-of –the-monument boost to leave the “rice” cars in the dust!
Would be nice, but the 4.7 is a pretty expensive motor to trash. Also the tranny would need some work before you pump14psi through it.
Turbo is a ball bearing Garret so it can push about 25 psi if needed.
>Are you planning on making this kit street legal or not?
It is street legal, the only reason we did not install a cat is that we did not have one on hand. There is enough space in the exhaust and underneath to install a single hi-flow cat.
As to making it 50 state legal, not sure. Since it is a single turbo, I am not sure it will pass in CA.
On the Tundra market, yes we are interested but there are a lot of little things we have to sort out to make this a easy bolt on kit for the 100 series first.
>that's a WAY impressive gain Christo....rear wheel HP at 5000 ft...WOW. So how long before you think you might start selling these? What kind of effects (if any) do you think this might have on engine longevity?

Not sure on the time frame when we will have kits for sale. We would have to ship seafreight to make it worth it. So there is two months alone. I have to make some duplicate pipes to send to Australia to be duplicated.
> What kind of fuel injection does this system use? Stock (is this possible?)? Or replaced/integrated with some kind of programmable setup like Megasquirt? If the latter, is that all included in the kit?
Did you see the earlier post on this?
> Any lag?
No, it feels like the truck has a big block. The power band is sckewed towards the upper end, but the truck cruises really well and runs like a raped ape between 70 /100 mph. It is really cust a nice addition, with gobs of power when you really step on it.
> Also, any idea on gas mileage yet? Since a turbo is much more efficient than, say, a supercharger, I'm wondering if mileage will actually go up over stock.
Nope,
> Do I dare ask how much you think the cost would be for the complete unit and would it be reasonable for a shade tree mechanic to install it over one weekend with a couple of drunk friends?
Right now not sure. We are aware of market forces and we have to change some things and might have to compromise on others. Not bad, but one has to remember that this kit was built forf middle eastern countries (Dubai etc) where they run these trucks at full throtttle (240km/h) for 100's of miles on end. So everything is super beefy. Once could use a regular turbo and a cheaper intercooler and still gets tons of power but for less money. We are working on all these things.
> If so (or not) how much for the installation at your shop?
I suspect the install would be about 2 full days with another day for tuning. Once could bolt in on in the back yard, and we have all intentions of making it available as such, with the clients understanding what is involved. IE, tuning, blowing up motors if not done properly etc etc.
i want one
