Just curious to see when everyone else thinks we will see the illusive turbo from MAF. I really hope they do produce it, but when is the big question. What do you think?

If people turbocharge these older 80's, we will see holes in blocks, cracked pistons and toasted transmissions. IMHO

Another question, who would or could spend $7k to $9K on mild rebuild when (not if) you over rev your motor with a turbocharger? Sorry to highjack the thread. Everyone will want more boost... BTW I think the 1FZ is a magnificent engine, even a great choice for a turbocharger. Not many engines have 7 main bearings, oil squirters under the pistons and a relatively low stock compression. There are reasons that make this an expensive engine.

Steve-O said:We also know that our kit will be better than Safari, we took a great design, and improved on it. Ball bearing turbine, seperate wastegate, 1-piece cast manifold, all ceramic coated pipes, custom heat molded hoses, and a larger intercooler sound pretty sweet to me.
Cattledog said:tiorio, how many people on this board are running safari's? I thought at most 3 or 4? Any show of hands?
Cattledog said:Positive displacement supercharging and turbocharging are different methods of compressing air. A good turbocharge kit will have some type of seperate high quality wastegate on the turbo and manifold. If the wastegate on a turbocharger fails to open at the right intake pressure you get a boost spike. Boost spikes will lean the AF mixture and crack pistons and bend connecting rods pretty quick. Faster than you can get off the gas. On the other hand Wastegates are very easy to adjust and up the boost. More boost is addictive...
Cattledog said:Positive displacement supercharger's ablity to compress air is limited to the rpm of the motor, belt tension and physical size of the pully. Boost spikes are difficult generate under these conditions. Engine load has little effect on a supercharger's ablity to compress air. A turbocharger's ablity to compress air is greatly effected by exhaust gas temperature. The heat of the exhaust gas does the work. The energy of the exhaust gas varied with engine load, fuel ratio, and timming advance among other variables. That is why proper tuning is critical.
Cattledog said:Toyota's choice in aftermarket forced induction is a reflection of these facts IMHO.
