It had a 3" hi flow cat, but a 2 to 2.5" system depending on which piece you looked at
Christo, looks like a great set up 
What size turbo is it?
Also, a little info on the intercooler too. What size dimensions and what size tubing?
thanks, just curious

thanks for the quick answer.
Would you expect any gain from the mandrel 3" set-up ?
Were those charts an average ? of how many try's?
I'm not badgering you, i'm genuinely interested, I used to work for Turbodyne and helped develop (read: cnc machine the prototypes) a dyna-charger system for them. Was pretty trick, we had an electric motor spin the prop up to 14000 RPM in an instant, no more turbo lag, and a whole lot less smoke.

Sir Cristo,
Some questions if you could: there is nada online concerning the AVO turbo system for the 1fzfe save for a part number. Is bigy back a unichip? Any pics of the injector assembly? Garrett turbo? pics of installed? Is the kit you are offering differ from the AVO kit in any way? For some reason the pic of the kit you posted isn’t showing up anymore. thank you

> And some of us are figuring out you better have the trans mods to hold up to the power, ie forced induction. { hijack off } Looks like a nicely done kit. Of coarse I don't think that I leave it alone once aquired....
This truck was fitted with a rebuilt transmission from Wholesale Automatics in Australia. It has a upgraded valve body and was built for more power.
> Two things, one, do you think that a newer fzfe (think 95+) would produce higher numbers?
Possibly on the turbo since we will be able to tune it better and the computer will respond faster and more accurate. The flapper airflow metering is pretty dumb and slow.
> Also, do you need a 95+ rig to test the turbo on? I know where you can borrow one for a while
No problem getting those
> What size turbo is it?
I have to get the exact model, however it is a GT series Garret with ceramic ball bearings.
> Also, a little info on the intercooler too. What size dimensions and what size tubing?
Picture attached, did not measure the size, but picture should give you an idea. It is a high quality bar-plate intercooler and not a tube-fin type.
> Would you expect any gain from the mandrel 3" set-up ?
Are you talking about adding it to a supercharger?
> Were those charts an average ? of how many try's?
Those are single tries, but the mulitple runs pretty much overlapp each other.
> there is nada online concerning the AVO turbo system for the 1fzfe save for a part number.
I will add more info on the site later thing month.
> Is bigy back a unichip? Any pics of the injector assembly?
SMT6 from Perfect Power.
> Garrett turbo?
yes,
> pics of installed?
can't see much once it is installed. Will take some more pics next time I get the truck.
> Is the kit you are offering differ from the AVO kit in any way?
This kit was the first AVO kit to be installed in a US Spec truck. AVO has done a number of 1FZFE kits in Dubai and Japan, but obviously there are differences in the trucks. We are working on getting the kit 100% dialed in for the US Spec trucks.

Mr Slee
so very few on this forum are using engine management assistance (piggy back computer) with their forced induction claiming that the OE ecu can compensate well enough. a few appear to be using the unichip. I have seen no trucks on this forum using piggy back systems without forced induction though i read an online article in Overlander of a unichip intall in a landrover discovery that made for significant gains. (JET chips don't count) You have successfully completed this recent AVO assembly using the SMT6. How dificult was it to install and tune the devise? I immagine there was no map available and you had to do this from scratch. lastly, have you had much experience with piggy back systems on the 1fzfe-both with and without forced induction-do they make a diff in your experience? if others have experience with this please comment

http://www.avoturbo.com/avo/html/toyota/toyota.html for those of you wanting a ballpark price without pestering Christo.
As Dan says, "Remember folks: Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?
Prepare yourselves for an installed price that will approach the current purchase price for early 80 series vehicles. If over 5 grand scares you, don't bother him with questions..."
I wish I was in the money was no object for my 80 group, but it appears a turbo would double my investment in my 80.

Since nobody else has asked, PM me with what you want for that used TRD SC for my '94 ;p 
beno said:$11K for the AVO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll swap in a Tundra V8 and call it a day for less than $4-5K.
Still very nice Christo.

The website says 'all prices in Aus $'s'
That translates (today) into $8280 USD (not including shipping or Christo's install costs)
Unless I sell BOTH my kidney's, its out of my price range
Later,

Sorry...I missed that part. Thanks for the correction WET....still out of my price range by about $3-5K.
-o-
That's still ludacris expensive.
A 4.7 conversion for 5k? Better start the line now.
Where else can you get at least 100 RWHP over stock regardless of price?

Actually the 4.7s are quite reasonable used. I passed up one for $2700 with computer, harness, and accessories. It had 38 miles on it. Not 38k. Adapting them and putting them into the truck would be killer in labor. If you do it yourself I can easily see where you could get it done for less than 5k.
