Hello, as the title states, I'm wondering about possible modest turbo options for a Toyota Dyna truck with a 5L engine. (No EFI)
I have looked at a number of 'kits' that are on the market and all make way more power than I need or want. (That may sound crazy to some, I assume that these kits can be de-tuned but it seems to be a waste of money to pay for output that won't be used.)
Not sure if it's possible on these engines but my goal would be to improve fuel economy. My understanding is that the 3L and 5L engines are starved for air at WOT which creates a situation of un-burnt or poorly burnt fuel. The second goal is a MODEST increase in power. The engine is currently rated at 90hp and overall the truck runs well on the highway however I think about 100hp would make it much more ideal.
My questions are:
1. Is it even possible to improve fuel economy with a turbo on these engines or do they just get more thirsty?
2. What sort of PSI would yield a HP gain of 10-15hp
3. Are there any 'kits' out there to suit these needs or am I better off trying to do some sort of junkyard turbo setup?
4. Reliability/longevity is very important to me. Is this possible with a modest turbo setup?
Thank for any feedback!!
