30% loss, wow! I'm part time but the loss is still pretty significant.
Thanks for the info.

Fuel pump definitely needs to be upgraded along with a turbo kit, but that is a small cost. the computer, injectors, and electronics can be left 100% stock though up until a certain point. This is why we're doing all of the R&D and testing before hand before offering mail order kits, to make sure that people can reliably bolt the "kit" they've purchased onto their truck and drive it with peace of mind.Really, unless you invest in the whole kit including upgraded injectors, fuel pump and computer, you're still going to be paying a lot of money and not even get close to the reliable performance of a properly setup system.
Sure, we all have budgets to work with I'm one of those people that can only afford to to the job properly first time, as I can never afford to do the job twice. I took my cruiser for a blast yesterday... seriously, it's awesome.
Here is the before/after dyno of our EMSPowered header-back exhaust on a truck with 280k miles on a 100% stock drivetrain with an unopened motor. The dyno doesn't lie. We'll soon be doing back to back dyno's with our FZJ80 headers and turbo kit as well in a few months so that the community has some solid "real" numbers to compare.This question is for those of you with dyno runs: would you say that a NA engine puts about 120hp and 180 ft-lb of torque at around 3,000 rpm? If so, we're all dragging arse! I don't know about others, but my rpms mostly stay below 3,000 rpm and this is where I'd like to see a bump in hp & torque values.
I believe our engines are rated 212 hp at 4300 rpm? Obviously my engine will never see those hp as I don't drive at those rpms. If we could see 212hp and 250 ft-lb(at rear wheels) at around 2500 rpm, that would satisfy my needs. What is the typical % driveline loss that people tend to use for calcs?
Waiting for the Boosted Dyno charts!![]()
Awesome, also post up some pictures of the 3" exhaust pleaseSoon grasshopper. Very soon![]()
Should pass the computerized and "sniffer" portion of any smog test just fine as long as we put one catalytic converter in the exhaust.My only concern would be passing smog
SeaDevil said:So how much all-in for everything you did to jamisobe's truck excluding the labor? Is there a package price for everything?
Yeah the GTX3076 would be my choice at the 12psi boost level at 7-8psi it might change. Expected HP at 7.5lbs of boost would be 315 at the crank, so using the 30% loss maybe 220hp at the ground, still a 90hp increase over my stock dyno.
IMOP you guys are so positive about stock ECU / Injectors / Fuel Pump doing well at 12PSI ..

Yeah, it may change a bit. I have also been looking at the cheaper end of the turbo world (non BB) and looking closely at the T3/T4 61MM Stage III with a .86 AR turbine. http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchan...tp&Product_Code=GRT-TBO-061&Category_Code=TBN
Mainly for cost savings but also for simplicity. I think a turbo in that size range will be good for a low boost 1fz (I have not done any mapping on it though).
A 90-100hp increase is all I am looking for, I do not want to get to the point where I am pushing the envelope to much. I use this for remote travel so reliability is utmost importance.
