I’m liking this garage.

i think it would sell but for some stupid reason i keep buying OBD I trucks so an engine swap is my only option for power.

Whats the Difference between OBDI and OBDII trucks?

I have a 1992 JZ80 with a 1FZFE, are these no good for boosting?

 

[scottryana]

Many differences but the most important is the way the OBDI trucks handle closed loop and fuel management. The OBDII trucks when in open loop over fuel allowing us to take advantage of that. The OBDI trucks here in the US do not and run lean under boost.

This is not true however with all parts of the world. I know the Australian trucks do not have any OBD systems and they are fine under boost. I only have experience with the US OBDI/OBDII.

I would suggest joining the 1FZFE Turbo facebook group as it is made up from people all over the world and they could likely answer questions about trucks in NZ more easily.

As someone that's got a CX kit installed with a w2a intercooler setup I'm more interested in a plug and play piggyback solution, that can also control the transmission as well as someone that's got a great base knowledge of how these ECU's work to hook it all up... with the right injectors/fuel pump/etc to allow me 15+ lbs of boost.

Currently running on as much boost as the factory ECU will allow.... in this instance about 3.5lb before it goes lean.

Happy with kit for themoney?

Hey I wanted to throw out a general dumb question out there....does anybody feel that adding this kit requires a replacement of the head gasket on higher mileage trucks? Trucks with say 225k plus

I'm not sure if it helps, but mine has had a turbo on since 75k, and I wasn't nice to it, and discovered it was running VERY lean at 160k, got it running right and at 170k I'm still on the original HG with no issues. (Knocks on wood...)

I put a turbo on my truck at about 310-315k or therabouts. Not positive it's the original HG, but I have no reason to believe it was changed by PO. Compression and leakdown were both solid.

@NLXTACY, wha'cha thinking about intercoolers? I don't recall you being part of the air/air, air/water debate. Kinda curious if you've pondered where all the parts might go.

 

[NLXTACY]

Routing 3/4" coolant lines is far easier than 3" solid ducting. I am squarely in the bolt-on, reversible camp.

Turbo since new in 97 now with 155K on original HG. But with that said I PM'd my HG on my non turbo 96 at 150K

Gotta love this board! Post one pretty specific question about a higher mileage vehicles with a specific application and BAM! three great answers with mileage and age quoted and verifed! Just the information I was hoping for.

Thank you gentleman

Oh I guess everyone already knew Wits End/Joey/NLXTACY was behind the turbo setup. I thought for sure that was going to be a much bigger reveal. Ha!

Wait- isn’t this just going to add another 40pages to Joeys overheating thread???

Maybe some molasses In The fan clutch will offset Joeys added turbo heat.?

One for me so 25 for you folks

And no, I’m not messing around

Does this mean I can have first dibs on your SC?

I have plans for my truck but the turbo is for the other 80

Maybe a turbo supercharged 80??

Hello all, had to make an account so i could possibly get in on this kit! keep up the good work, i look forward to a good quality/affordable kit

 

[NLXTACY]

Baby steps. This is the oil drain fitting off the turbo and connects the large hose to the oil pan fitting.
