Bolt on turbo kit (6 Viewers)

[ThomasMore66]

More is what we do. About to cut the snout on my TRD supercharger on my Tacoma for a smaller pulley. Support long gone.

Just to put this out there. Everyone that is talking about remote boost controllers, boost controlling gauges, etc. Would all be out on there own if they have any problems with the kit. There is zero way any business can have people change the baseline and offer any kind of support. This has been thought out, wasting way too many hours, to get the kit to settings that will be safe and work well with the 80's OBDII computer. ANYTHING above and beyond would be outside the scope of this kit and support.

I have said in the past if you want to upgrade later, I would be open to walking people through the upgrade path, but it would just be two guys bullshitting about cars, it would not be tied to company support.

Thanks @scottryana

Guys this can't be stressed enough. The kit is INTENDED as both bolt-on AND CARB compliant. I do not care if your state doesn't currently have EPA/CARB/COAL/ETHENOL/CORN/SOLAR/NUCLEAR/et al. It holds zero basis on how the kit is moving forward. In order to make sure I hit both of those targets, I (and then by extension you) will reap the rewards by way of a purchasable turbo to install. I will do my damnedest to make sure everyone who orders one will have a solid operating turbo kit ready to rock. I will also be developing the A/W IC kit ONLY based on feedback of commitment from the turbo users...and even then, maybe.

ANYTHING past that and you are on your own.

IC is a must.

Don’t forget those with S/C will also be interested in the WAIC.

Well established

For gauges I like Auber Instruments digitals. Some can be wired to tell different things, they are available in different colors and have built in alarm parameters. Am running two of the SQUARE versions on my VW TDI, boost and EGT. Only issue is that they are square, with some ingenuity two gauges can fit in place of a single 2" round gauge pod.

It's moments like this that should make everyone appreciate just how much work your average OEM puts into a bone stock vehicle. Hitting that perfect balance of capability, reliability and maximum customer application is almost unimaginable. It's also what allows us to enjoy our 100K mile powertrain warranty. A bulletproof Toyota Camry might just be the most daunting engineering challenge on Earth. That said, we've all got a little hoon gene in us, so once @NLXTACY is done doing his magic, we'll all be cranking the boost, putting whistles on our BoVs and doing 4-wheel burn-outs. And @NLXTACY will happily supply us with a replacement kit, not covered under warranty, of course. And we'll be totally okay with that, right? Right? Yeah, you're damn right we will.

Havent ever looked at the TRD on a Taco. Sounds like a lot of work to shrink the pulley. My 80 took about 15 minutes to swap on a smaller pulley.

First step down from 3” to 2.825” didn’t. Going to 2.6” now. Headers, high-flow cats. Its a problem.

I wouldn't blame anyone but me. I do think I may hold the record as the only MUDder to start a thread about nitrous

Ok boys, a little bit of dirty pipe porn. More of a teaser of what is around the corner.

This is the jig and the prototype that was rigged up for flange and tube placement, nothing else. There is another jig made that holds the pre-bent tubes in place before welding. I'll get a photo of that as well. If this project was one-off, my life would be so much easier. But repeatability and consistency is paramount on something like this. I'm showing this now because I wanted to show you guys the progression of just this one piece of the puzzle and how it looked before and what it will look like as a finished piece. The manufacturer had some advice for me but I'm not going to act on it/discuss it here until AFTER I see what the finished production pieces will look like.

At the end of the day this is just a Wits' End 1FZ-FTE J-Pipe. Just two flanges, going to a pair of J-pipes into one collector with a T-4 flange and a WasteGate flange. For as complicated as this has been, its really all it is. There are no other ports on this, those will be on the intake and downpipe.

Enjoy!

More excited now.

This kit is going to be so awesome. My wife is even stoked!

Start moving the funds into your offshore fund, pronto!!! Just like our current administration apparently is doing!

This has gone from the "really want" list to the "mandatory" list as I swear I just got passed by an elderly couple riding beach cruisers....

Necesito más aceleración

Super excited to see this come together! I was saving up for a 4” lift kit first but now. I’m changing directions!

Awesome to see an update! I can’t wait to see your preproduction mock up and where you have the turbo sitting. Makes working two jobs a little less of a chore.
