its no race car. remember that an 80 series is heavier than a expedition and I have 500lbs of additonal body armour. i also put 33inch tires on her recently (have been rock crawling in utah) But she still runs faster than most v8 suvs and the torque is great. I have raced several v8 100 series...

I have over 4000 miles on the turbo and it is flawless and boosting away. im getting 14-14.5 mpg on hwy and 13 in town. The cruiser is a 96lx450 w the standard 4spd auto and 2 spd transfer case. it is the same transfer case and trany offered in the 95-97 80 series and the 98-2002 100 series...

nice tip. I will be doing that as soon as I get a chance

nice help fellas. here is the old safari kit http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/safari/turbo/1fzfe_80/1fzfe_int_turbo.html nice quote from the write up: "Dyno figures show a marked increase in power with this set-up. Interestingly, the 1FZFE’s injectors are up to the task and no high priced...

I recently posted my custom turbo instal into my 96 lk450. it runs great but I do worry if it is running out of fuel. I have put a 255lph fuel pump on her and have an egt that reads about 1300' on highway w ocasional boosting. I have a cheap a/f guage (not wideband) that is not looking lean. I...

so what up--do I need a BOV?

you wont have a problem getting past inspection--just go to small grundgy shop that says "smog tests-if you dont pass you dont pay" there are plenty of those out there-at leaste in my home town of fresno Ca. as long as the tail pipe has good numbers you will be ok

another question If i get off throttle quickly under boost I get a wump wump wump wump noise which must be the compressor slamming air against a closed throttle body. I immagine a BOV could eliminate any worries this may be causing. Do I need a BOV if I only run 7ish psi? If no damage is to...

actually 315 is more than most. the nissan 5.6l is 305hp w 375ftlbs and is probably the best motor going. the ford 5.4 makes 300hp. the new variable timed toyo 4.7 makes 275. The "hemi" 5.7 is 330ish but makes less torque than the nissan. If the new toyo truck motor makes 315 it will be doing...

I read in 4-wheeler magazine that the 5.7 toyota will "develop around 315hp". you guys know toyota trucks-they always go conservative on the power-thats why they last so long. And AVO makes a turbo for the 4.7 http://www.sleeoffroad.com/products/100_trubo_avo.htm I dont know if it fits in the...

the 80 series cruiser was made from 91-97. in 91 and 92 it had a 4.0L motor called the 3fe. the 3fe was also used in the 1990 60 series cruiser. The 3 fe is basicly just a fuel injected destroked 2f that was introduced decades ago. in 93-94 toyota intruduced the 1fzfe-dual overhead cam 4...

amen brother toyota builds sweet machines throughout. But i guess this forum knows that. mitsu makes a good truck too-their machines consistently kick A in autocross events oversees. I too have seen some great built mitsus-just not many on this side of pacific. my ford rattled too and my grand...

Steve If I believe the a/f ratio guage is working fine. it occiltates just like the narrow band on friend's gauges. it is reading rich on higher boosts--WOT? But like I said I havn't pushed it above 4000rpms as there have been complaints from the guys with the eaton 90 supercharger on this motor...
