Bolt on turbo kit (19 Viewers)

[Qball]

I honestly just want to go 70 uphills, do they make a 3 lb spring? LOL

 

[mudgudgeon]

So Joey just texted me a video doing 105mph up hill.... I guess the turbo is working. Haha

Damn, that video would empty my bank account faaaaast!

For the love of God, don't share it. Please

@mudgudgeon haven't you got an elegible FZJ80? You know you want to...

Mine is '93 OBD1, so I think I'm off the hook! lol

Fuel economy increase...confirmed.

I could have easily hit 300 but next gas station is 52 miles away. The light just started glowing. I have never seen an 80 hit 300 miles on a tank. My own SC’d 80 gets 220 on a good day and I’m stocked to get that!

Last fill up on this truck on the way out to Flagstaff was 270 with a bright fuel light. I really pushed it. Dylan can attest to his previous fill ups.

Oddly enough, only 18 gallons went in just now. So that means 16.44 MPG.

Lol...haltech?

I used to get 300 miles to the tank when doing highway trips to AZ. Most I had was 320 I think. Wish it was still the case. Maybe I can convince the wife to let us put in a turbo to increase fuel economy and save on gas I was wondering if the turbo would do that.

 

[landtank]

has the speedo been corrected for any gearing?

 

[GeoRoss]

Isn’t it mostly downhill out of Flagstaff?
Still pretty awesome.

I got 300 miles out of a tank once. Moab to Flagstaff convoying with @LandCruiserPhil. A feat never repeated.

 

[NLXTACY]

No, I actually just confirmed that this morning. It’s 10% off from GPS actual. Truck is on 35s with 4:56 gears.

It was out of Flagstaff but I was not gentle to the peddle. You know how the truckers are on the 40 there. I was passing every single one of them.

So after giving it a lot of thought, I’m not going to post that particular video. It’s not an accuarate depiction of the results of the install and I don’t want to set up crazy expectations. And I don’t want to explain this to an AZ judge after some douche nozzle turns me in

I just confirmed that the speedo has NOT been corrected. Although I’m still EXTREMELY happy with the mpg, torque and speed of this I stall, anything I show will need an ( * ) because of the 10% Gear and tire variance from actual.

I’ll post of some other videos though to get the point across

Don’t the tires and gears basically cancel out as far as the speedo/odo is concerned?

No. At 105 my actual was 95. At 75 my actual was 68.

 

[TNOverlander]

I guess that’s chalked up to 35s not being 35s when mounted... on paper they’re both about 10% in opposite directions but obviously the GPS is more accurate.

The reason I ditched the 1fz was because scottryana reported his fuel mileage as being around 12mpg with his turbo. So I went LS. But 16 is pretty good and may have swayed me to stay 1fz. City driving I get 14-16mpg with the LS. I have stock sized tires though.

I've set up a few trucks with speedo correction and the math never matches the actual correction needed.

My SC truck with a corrected speedo gets around 14.5 on highway at 85mph.

Why would it not be an accurate depiction of results?

I want the ability to go 100+ MPH uphill.

I never thought I would ever wonder if anyone makes a Z-rated 35” tire. hmmm....

 

[Corbet]

34.5” tires for speed. Offroad traction might be diminished?

I just got 305 miles on my last tank (only took 22.5 gallons) and that was driving from Colorado Springs to Avon/Vail and back covering a couple of passes and a lot of elevation change...I'm a heavy pig on 35s. My rig will practically be a Prius with better mpg from a turbo!!!
