late 97 on hilux 3rz turbo conversion walk through

[Tweak]

After selling all the junk ive collected over time ive got enough to get me a clutch. A nice brass button one thats good for 400rkw and at a good price aswell

[BeRad]

brass button, that shall be interesting to drive round town haha

[Tweak]

I dont realy drive in town. most driving i do it highway with the odd dart to the shops.
Long highway driving and drag strips witht he odd track day.

[BeRad]

You get it from albion?, i got a 5 puck that was built to hold 400 hp that was like driving a full faced organic, could still ride it on hillstarts a bit but bit real hard, got it through albion brake and clutch.

Either way if it doesn't have to deal with peak hour your all good, providing the clutch fork/pedal box will take it haha.

[Tweak]

Clutch is on gearbox is in and touch wood i'll see it this arvo. Ive been told the kw whent up a few notches from the last tune. Also its not a bras button like i was told its a inner sprung type clutch with a low pick up on the clutch pedal

[Tweak]

Alll finished done and dusted .
PUlled about 320hp at the wheels but we knocked it down to 290 for safe reasons as the injectors that we fitted are only 570cc (we didn;ts think it would need more).
Next plan attack is cosmetic head gasket,arp head studs, valve springs,770cc injectors plus fuel rail and its good for 400hp/300kw. all this will be done by the workshop, And i'll be doing the gearbox upgrade my self (r154) as well as other things such as diff,tyres and convert rear to disc brakes . Its a long term project and iam in no rush
May aim is for 400kw/530hp

[BeRad]

Seeing as the US is good, should grab a set of pistons and rods, easy bottom end rebuild, piece of mind for the money, then 500hp won't bother the rods of the 3rz, also depends on the skill of the tuner.

Steel gasket, rods, pistons, studs should be landed for around $1500au

What boost are you running, around the 16psi mark?

[Tweak]

12psi at the moment.............. Doubt i'll be keeping it next year as the fuel economy its crazy.
Done the math last night iam using 14.8ltr of 98 oct per 70km........... yes i said 70km and at $1.42 a ltr thats $20 to travel 70km. That 70km will take me to work and back home each day

[BeRad]

Should be able to get better than that, whos tuning it, unless you're flogging the sh!t out of it for 70k's it should use nowhere near that much, tuning fail.

I know carby v8s with more power using less fuel, without the joys of boost to help with fuel economy as far as cruise is concerned and efi to fine tune cruise etc..

[Tweak]

Yeah iam chating to my tuner at the moment to see what he can do

[Tweak]

were have you guys run your boost guage off of. I cant find a decent thing to tap into.

[WilloIsMe]

wat ecu is everyone running and recommendations?

[Tweak]

Adaptronic is what iam ruinning

[brett_celicacoupe]

[BeRad]
