Bolt on turbo kit (1 Viewer)

I believe they are a 7 which is 2 heat ranges lower than stock and 1 lower than the MR2s. They are also a copper plug which runs cooler than the platinum and iridium plugs. I'd give them a try, they are only around 2.00 a plug and available at advance auto.

Ok, I pulled my invoice from the plugs I put in 30k ago. Toyota P/N: 90919-01180-83

Do you know how the compare to these? I'm not finding much info on their specs. It would be nice to be able to "A/B compare" them.
 
I have a 92 FZJ80, assume the turbo would work on the 1FZ, or would I need to upgrade to FE..

if so, any recommendations? and I am very interested in this bolt on kit

You should have a 3fe in a 92 which will not accept this turbo. Did you swap the motor/electronics from a newer 80 series?
 
This may be a silly question , but is anyone planning on running a thicker comedic HG to decrease compression before adding the turbo? Or is everyone planning to run this as-is?

I think "Bolt on" means just that...
 
I don't really see the need, 9:1 is still pretty low now days. If you were going to be throwing 35psi at it, I could see going down to 8.5:1, but at bolt on boost levels, I think reducing compression would be counter productive. I am a bit of an OCD guy so at 300,000 miles I am not a bolt it on and run kind of guy but Heckraiser did and had no issues.

Well I’m in a unique situation having just scored a very clean white 96 in need of hg.....and figured if I were planning on opting for a bolt on turbo I would explore the idea of a lower compression ratio to allow slightly more boost with slightly less pinging on the same octane if anyone else was showing good results?
 
Besides I thought you were doing a 3UR swap?? :smokin:

SAS 200 is a lot easier :)

I don’t think I will get to the HG until aug. So hopefully a bolt on kit option is on-line and ready to go.....with an optional pulley for a few more lbs of boost. What’s the rough timeframe on this?

A pulley?? No pulleys in the exhaust ;) Free power with no parasitic lose like a pulley. lol

I remember a blueprinting thread by @hazard. He took all sorts of measurements and I remember the calculations coming out to ~8.7:1. Cannot remember if that was stock measurements or proposed modded measurements. If stock, 8.7:1 is perfect for boost.

Glad you lost the 200 platform chubby - I love my 3UR for towing, but for us guys who have multi-car houses, a Sequoia TC swap will get you 80% 'there' in a Tundra, and you can add whatever lockers as you like. IMO. Single car guys, sure - go 200.

S/C's bought at a right price are good, but turbo > SC - no extra generated heat, no parasitic loss, no stinkin' pulleys;)
 
I had read somewhere 8.5:1....but I’m not recalling any of the specifics as to turbo sizing and boost levels.

I have a turbo nut up the street who had an 80 and had worked up calcs....I will need to pick his brain as this pully sizing is out of my paygrade. :)

I'm going as is. If I need a new head gasket so be it. I believe others besides @Heckraiser have done with out a new head gasket. @yoda-g3 ? Can't remember if you said you did.

Sure thing! I've already given a couple Mud members a test drive in it. I live in Nine Mile, work in Spokane, but also make trips to CDA on occasion. Just shoot me a PM if you want to try and figure something out.

@yoda-g3 was gracious enough to let me drive his rig when I was out there. I really appreciate the experience.

Totally different truck with a turbo; wider power band, better mid range torque, turbo whistle was awesome.:bounce2::bounce: We went up a hill and the truck had plenty of power. My truck would have had to down shift to go at the same speed. I think we were around 10.3 psi.

He also had polyurethane bushings which felt real nice.

Thanks yoda :cheers:

@Funner

nope. 92 fzj80 with 1FZ carb. not FE -- mid east spec. including factory ice chest in center console. understand 92 models sold in US were different. Will be shipping this one along with FJ70 4.0L carb model mid/late June back to US. this turbo would be great upgrade rather than going LS or diff conversion.

posted some pics last year -- new to me 80 -- 92 FZJ80t i
 
I know guys have gotten turbos to work with carbs, but I certainly have zero experience with it. I know there are specific carbs that people who do forced induction use. I have no idea if they could be adapted to a carb 1FZ. I have never seen one in person. lol

If you wanted to EFI it I have the ECU to do it. It uses a MAF sensor but no O2 sensors. It's from a stripped down 80 model out of Australia.
