98 Boosted short tacoma (3rz turbo)

[twistedtoy92]

Need to turn the boost down... LOL! By the time I hit 3rd in the audi I'm approaching 70 mph...

[Crunchy Taco]

Now why would I wana do a thing like that. Besides speeding will ruin your life.

Dont buy a sports bike.  My ninja goes over 100 in second.  Ive riden an R1 that went about 95 in 1st gear.  Look it up if you think Im full of it.  Nice to hear about 3rz turbo power.

95 mph in first is actually slow for a liter bike. My old cbr 1000RR went 109 in first and my old zx10 went 114...

[Crunchy Taco]

I had an r6 and a cbr 600 both were plenty fast, I've never been on a 1000 I can't imagine how much quicker they are

[Nation]

A 600 will never be adequate again... that's how much faster. 0-100 in 2-3 seconds.

Ever gone 200 mph? 

[zippo]

140 mph while driving is the fastest I've ever been.

156 in a car. Around 200 on a zx10.. speedo said 219

[twistedtoy92]

Nation you are crazy!!! Ive only been 115mph on a harley and 172 in a car...

[Crunchy Taco]

140 in a car, right around 150 on a bike wich was plenty.

[twistedtoy92]

Yes, I'm ready to get my double low back... I miss crawling!

[Crunchy Taco]

a few pics of my turbo setup to date. got some heat socks out of a bargain bin at a ford dealer I was at. surprising enough I gained power this way block the ic piping from the turbo heat.

[twistedtoy92]

Nice!!! Still runnin like a champ?

[helipilot77]

Are you concerned that the hose clamps are going around the air filter hose and intercooler hose will cut through eventually?
I'm jealous! I need an intercooler. 

[twistedtoy92]

Yeah you do, I believe every turbo engine should have a nice large intercooler!

[Crunchy Taco]

the clamps have been fine so far. and yea she's runnin really good these days. I'm back down at 6psi runnin 12.1 every time I floor it. 6 is where she likes to be with my current piggyback tuner and the size injectors I have. got a walbro 255 lph in er just need bigger injectors some day.

[Crunchy Taco]

got my new front end on just need some fenders and corner markers. my fenders are cut out where the corners go that's how I fit the bigass 05 taco lights in them before.

Good to see this thread back!

[Crunchy Taco]

been busy with the new little one and my garden. got my eye on a new turbo manifold and probly guna build a custom intake mani now that I have access to an aluminum welder at work. also wana run a t3/t4 with an external wg but well see. a better fuel management system is guna be a must as well if I ever wana crank the boost up. I did pick up another 150 k 3rz that I wana build for bigger numbers

[86bobbedtoy]

sorry if its mentioned, but what intercooler u running? looks like factory Toyota? maybe first gen mr2?

[Crunchy Taco]

sorry havnt been on here for awhile life got busy. yea the intercooler is a factory toyota pretty sure mr2. the guy I got it from had a badass Corolla. I think it might have been off that but I don't kno if Corolla ever had turbo model.

[Crunchy Taco]

I bought a stainless log style exhaust manifold for 2 bills off eBay haha. I'll show you guys when it comes in the box. the one I built cracked real bad finally. I need to make a good brace to hold the weight of the turbo that's what made it crack for the most part

[Crunchy Taco]

here's my new manifold. it's of Farely good quality but I need to dremmel tool the inside of the two middle tubes smooth.

[Crunchy Taco]

got my manifold all filed out and welded an adapter plate on for the Volvo style inlet flange my t3 turbo has. also welded a bracket on for a support I'm guna make to hold the weight of the turbo.

[Crunchy Taco]

I'm still running an internal waste gate so I made a cap for the wg flange on the manifold. currently runnin 8 psi with my setup using a boost controller I bought off eBay then altered the spring in it a bit. more pics on that soon. the truck is pullin super hard with the current setup still havnt dynoed it or got to see what kind of numbers I'm gettin but I'm guessing somewhere between 150-200 hp. motor runs like a top still it was freshly rebuilt when I started boosting it. it has stock head studs and gasket hoping to change that soon while I'm ahead. don't really see any reason to make anymore power. I couldn't be happier with the power I have right now pushin big tires. for a budget turbo build it turned out really good. now once in awhile throw a little money at her and upgrade as I go. would like a tuner that controls timing but the one I have does its job.

pic of the flange adapter I mig welded on with stainless wire and tri mix

[ryantowry_81]

Did it say what grade stainless that is? Looks to have a strange color I am not used to, is it the 4xx series?
