PM me your address. I was going to go dual batteries in my 80, but decided to go with a big fat Oddessey 31 instead.

Haha well if you go back to the beginning of this thread. It was me simply asking if people would be interested. There were no companies involved. @NLXTACY was not even thinking about it. I approached him and 2 other companies to see if they wanted to give it a go. And I would bet the first 30 pages were just me making up ideas. So you have to subtract those from the normal NLXTACY total page count.
How many bananas is the JDM corolla bottle job? Quick search didn’t find anything.

It’s mostly a 2 banana because there is a lot involved. I’m glad I did it but it was a little frustrating trying to figure out the bits and bobs even though I had mostly everything in front of me.
I did my 2nd battery recently, moved the w/w bottle to new location with slee bracket. Possibly the bottle will have to be downgraded to smaller type (corolla) and relocated, the turbo will definitely occupy that void. Also added aux fan on the top of things, which will have to be deleted if I go with intercooler. I will definitely redesign stuff, I will have to move it around once the turbo is ready.
Having owned a Super Charged 80 in the past and presently owning a Turbo charged 80 there is no comparison IMO
Super Charged 80 are for people that have never drove a Turbo 80
Phil,
I’m looking to turbo charge my 92 FJ 80 ive recently purchased.
Could you help with a list of parts and maybe direction for the job? I’m in Ca.
Cheers,
Eli
Well don't get too excited, this is not an active project for me right now. If I was still at my old job I would have had plenty of time and money to make this happen but right now I am just the idea man. I am kind of pitching the idea to a couple of people that I know have the capability to pull this off and would do a very good job.
My idea would be for the base kit to include everything you need to bolt on a turbo to a stock 80. This kit would be a J-pipe from the stock manifolds and would likely come in right around $3k or so. I like the option to add an intercooler as I think it is an important piece of the FI puzzle. One of the smart guys I talked to had the idea that if done properly the intercooler add on could be used for either the Turbo kit or the TRD SC......
Who knows if this will take off, but I wanted to see if there was actual interest before I spent any more of my time working on a solution.
Did this kit actually get put together? I’m interested
Any idea on how much torque this would add? I pull an overland trailer that weights about 2k and right now it struggles to pull it in the hills of Tennessee. I was going to do an LS swap but would prefer to keep it Toyota powered. Looks like I could rebuild the motor and do the turbo for less than I can do an LS swap.
Conservative estimate 40%

Keep them coming!
40% torque would be a gamechanger for me. I really like the idea of staying with the Toyota motor
People always complaining about low speed over mountains. I just floor it every where I go. Has to be a really steep hill to drop me below 60. REALLY steep.
Any chance we can get a sexy bundle of pipes like this?
Edit....nevermind, forgot about playing nice with the onboard compressor.

6Boost out of Australia.
On their FB page they said this manifold is off to UAE, to go in a 2000hp 100 series.

Why try to reinvent the wheel when such a nice piece is available? Whats not to like?
