i was wondering, since they do not have a supercharger can you turbo charge one?
 
anything can be turbo'ed. Not sure why you want to turbo the 3.0.

But look up :rolleyes:Bumpinyota:rolleyes: on yotatech.
 
I saw pictures of one in the valley that stuffed it next to the brake master cylinder. Never heard the long term results but I don't think it was very streetable. I think the engine's HG issues make it a poor host for a turbo, even if it can be done.
 
Search, blown head gasket! Seriously, about three years ago when I was looking for a 4runner I found one in Oklahoma City that had a turbo on the 3 slow, it's now a 3.0 still slow. I honestly could barely tell that it had a turbo, except for the loud blow off valve. The engine compartment looked like a bowl of spaggeti, too busy for me. At least the guy did it, more power to him. (pun) JT
 
wow way to make me look stupid, and feel stupid haha so i guess im not doing that. and the reason for it is because im in high school and dont wanna drop another more powerful engine in it but thanks guys!

The 3.slow is a good motor if you take care of it, but it's not that efficient and doesn't respond well to hp tuning. If your looking for more power, IMHO the best bet is a 3.4 from a later truck. Makes for a nice power gain and it's a very reliable, bullet proof setup.

I didn't see or hear that :confused: , I heard a good question,


One I wouldn't think twice about it if that is what I wanted, I was hoping to find the link though :frown: would make things easier to comprehend, actually seeing the kit.....:frown:
 
you can turbo any thing. but you might as well burn your money with a 3.0

Not really dude, the only stupid questions are the ones we don't ask. If you're not too mean to the 3.0 it will take you where you need to go (and where you probably shouldn't have :D).
