Turbo +/-'s

by **Parke10** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 10:34 pm

I was wondering from other people the +'s and -'s of a turbo on a v6 solara and TRD or not

by **Mole** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 11:11 pm

pros-

bov, bragging rights, vast knowledge of turboing a high-compression car.

cons-

expensive, possible heat issues, relocations of things, lack of materials.

i also heard that yer cv joints wear faster frm tire spin any1 know if this is true? cuz i was thinking about building up my v6 solara 2 handle 8-12 lbs of boost and made sum day TT of 5 lbs each

there is seriously someone running a TT on a solara? I did think that you had plans to do this... so.. I was givin u $hit... I was trying to up the boost of my S\c... and its very hard and envolves LOTS of mods... but I guess if its already been done... now im interested.. I didn't know there was someone running a TT... tell him to get on here and post some pics and things

nice.. im looking to beef my engine up even more... I'm eventually going to make it rear wheel drive w\ a supra rear end... but.. with time.. I also need to find ways to boost my fuel and other things.... so... it would be nice to get some more info about all of this...

the thought of twin turboing the 1mz is almost impossible.

more than extensive work will be needed.

my hat is off to that person who actually goes through this.

good luck. high compression @ 10 lbs of booost is suicide unless you get the forged pistons from "jim@foreginaffairs" or whatever his sn is (8.0:1 comp. ratio I believe or 8.5:1) which would help. Even after that, the engine bay is pretty tight w/ the 1MZ.

Good luck if you decide to go through with it x_x it seems quite the task

Its modified heads, which are just opened up a bit to lower compression... the pistons arn't forged... but im looking into that since I have engine blocks laying around...

well there is that twin turbo 1mz-fe they have for the siennas back in japan... so twin turboing the 1mz is feasible.. i dont know about 8lbs each.. buut yah..lol.. it can happen

Anything is posible with some $$ and the desire. If you realy want something you go out and get it. How do new concepts start off? By talking and thinking about it then take action.

I don't kow 2 much about turbo but from what I hear all the time is that you don't have the "Lag" effect from a supercharger since it's spooled via pulley/belt vs. exaust gas with turbo.

with the correct turbo set up, tuning and exhaust, turbo lag can be eliminated.
