Bolt on turbo kit (16 Viewers)

I hope not! That hasn't worked out so well for the guys I know that have done it. Lol

So then a turbo is like buying your wife a boob job?

The 1FZ is like a good wife. You can look at all the other options out there, but when you come home at the end of the day you smile and nod and realize as attractive as other options may be, nothing will be better than your wife.

Take care of her, and she will take care of you.

Timely advice...I got married less than a year ago!

But it sounds like you should hold off on the boob job...





I can't believe I just said that.

This is full-on Land Cruiser philosophy here.

I commend the word smithing sir:

@scottryana Since the original air box will be utilized with this kit would you recommend running a snorkel? I'm thinking cooler intake temps and less restriction on the air intake with the snorkel. Thoughts?

There is a significant difference in AIT between the 2.

100% agree with you.

There is a significant difference in AIT between the 2.

Any documentation on this? All I've ever read was it was a minimal difference (~15* which isn't much when we're talking 170*).

A 9% reduction is significant.

A 9% reduction is significant.

Ha!
So if you found something on sale, for 9% off, would that alone convince you to buy it?
No, 9% isn't significant.

Strawman. Try again.

No, 9% isn't significant.

Curious to know what you consider significant to be.

You're right. An engine will run so much better @ 155* than it will @ 170*. You win.








Feel better?

 

[Kaninja]

It is all about air density with forced induction. 155° > 170°

Between 3 cruisers coming back from the sierras my buddy and I saw 150* + on average between our cars running. Our friend with the snorkel was in the low 120* all of us running ultra gauges. I think ambient was in the mid 90's.

 

[ontopofm]

I'm seeing between 5-10* higher than ambient with snorkle.

 

[NLXTACY]

It's around 105-110 typically around here. My IATs are always between 5-10deg variance from ambient. Before my snork addition I was running 170-180deg IATs.

These are significant decreases! I'd say it'd be well worth it for improvements like these.
I see IAT of 80+ degrees ambient when it's 90+ degrees outside. Thanks for the input.

If the kit, uses the stock air box, it is up to the end user if they want a snorkel or not. The IC'r should be capable of cooling the charge air either way.

No, 9% isn't significant.

This might possibly be the worst analogy ever.

 

[scottryana]

Not the kit, this is looking at the existing manifold on the market. Strange wastegate placement, it won't work with york compressor, etc, I think we can definitely do better. Moving the turbo back makes the dump pipe exit the engine bay sooner, less heat, can work with the york, potentially makes intercooling easier, easier to make the stock intake work, etc.
