late 97 on hilux 3rz turbo conversion walk through

[BeRad]

Tap it into the wastegate line, just cut the line and put a t piece in there, or weld in a nipple in the cooler pipe somewhere,

I ran a haltech good ecu, way to many features for the 3rz to utilize, a simple microtech etc is all you need to run the 3rz and will cost less/be easier for you or the tuner to tune.

Theres a half inch nipple before the t/b on the intake that you can tap into, my map sensor ran off there tee'd into the map sensor, although there is alot of nipples on the intake that are blocked internally from factory, anything post throttle body is no good.

Had a look for ya, dont have any left, the ones i had spare were broken.

Surely rod has some with the 3rz graveyard hes collecting haha

unfortunately i dont think he does.


i think i will just end up fabricating some

Ive found a decent template to use in making a set ofg caltrac's for the hilux.
Just gotta find some 3mm or 5mm plat steel to use and some 3mm wall tube and piviot points.
Hope to make em 2morow if it stops raining

Budget is about $20 lol My uncle has a good scrap pile on junk that i can use

For future reference; 2inch spring reset with 2inch blocks dont go to well. Rear tail shaft gets a vibration for some reason. So after spending 20mins install them ive gotta rip em back out FFS
Gets it in 2nd gear and spooling up from 3000rpm or from a stand still and launching. My guess the diff is rolling forward and the centerbearing is not happy

Finaly good weather. Picked up some 8mm bizaloid steel for nothing. But being bizaloid its a pain to cut with a disc grinder so iam jsut gonna get it done with a lazer cutter.

Anyone wanna buy the hilux? $14g take it away even has mod plate for turbo conversion

Yer you need a trac bar, or at least arms that come from the u bolt bottom plate that are gusseted that stop the leads wrapping, ps reset leafs are sh!t for ride comfort, handling and most of all, traction.

Why you selling it

[Tweak]

My back cant take the punishment for much longer. THats and i cant afford the back cracker any longer

[Tweak]

well it didn't last long.................. Iam gonna keep it lol.

Since iam keeping it then its on to phase 2 MORE KILL WASPS
Got a question. Would it be worth mucking around with compression ratio's on the 3rzfe engine?
What can be done to the head to give it more performance?
Heard of removing balance shaft is a good idea for higher performance engines?
Would my bosch 044 cope with 500kw. Could i add 2 bosch 044

Phase 2 list:
arp head studs
cosmetic head gasket
Forged internal kit, (pistons,rods ect)
Ignition system
Fuel system
Head work (see question above)
Gearbox r154
detriot lokka diff
one piece tail shaft
remove balance shaft (see question above)
intake manifold
fuel rail
injectors 800cc+

To make 500kw your going to do alot of mucking around with everything.

I wouldnt remove the balance shafts, you can just remove the chain from them in the timing case, the 3rz has 2 chains, 1 for the cam gear, and 1 for the balance shafts.

Speak to rodi in the 3rz thread hes playing with large hp in the 3rz, forge the bottom end which will drop the compression to 8.5:1, port the head, throw some bigger cams and possibly valves and springs.

Suspension is going to take a bit of playing around, trac bar etc.

The ignition system is pretty capable, especially with an aftermarket ecu.

Fuel system will need fuel rail mods or complete upgrade

Im not a fan of auto lockers, being a hilux diff, an air locker would be ultimate imo and they are stronger than the original.

Intake manifold, speak to rodi once again, or a.r.e in brendale they will make you one as good as they come.

A big whirly bird is going to be needed also haha.

if you have 570cc injectors now to make 250kw then 800cc arent going to make 500kw, im putting 1000cc in mine. check out the 530hp hilux on youtube, that engine is totally stock never had the head off and uses all of its 1000cc's. DO pistons and rods. to get 500rw you.ve gotta push 30psi through it, = big turbo, big fuel system, big exhaust, big air filter etc etc, mine uses less than 10L per 100k but thats driving like an old man, hold on i am an old man. ha

[Tweak]

Done abit of research and for the money to get to 500kw then the end result would be pretty much a straight line drag car its not practical type of car to use as a everyday driver.
I had a second option of making the hilux handle better.......

[BeRad]

that involves just as much money haha

500rwkw is a massive power level, it would be a dog to drive.

what wrong with the humble 300-400rwhp, still streetable, not straining the living crap out of everything, not costing 10 dollars to put your foot down, and not costing thousands in tuning among other things that have to be 100% or your going to kick a leg out of bed.

and relatively cheap in HP terms.

if you have the ecu etc, throw some rods and pistons in it, injectors would get you to over 300hp, possibly upgrade turbo, and your away. 3k on the cheap.....

All i need is a forged bottom end and to deal with the under bonnet heat temps which is caused by the gt35 turbo.
To hit the 300kw range all i need is forged bottom end. I could give the boost 3 clicks and i reckon id hit 300kw right now but doubt it would last long lol
After spending some time on the dyno last weekend fixing some bugs, we dropped fuel map lower and lower and lower click the boost up higher higher higher to 17psi. we got to 10.0 in afr and it had more in it but we stopped at 17psi due to stock engine.
Turbo just wants to ramp up to 20psi and watching the manifold pressure on the dyno its lall ripples and not a night straight line lol
But iam out of money right now so its a nice 240kw for now

[MR 1JZ]

my sentiments are exactly with berads in regards to 500rwkw...there is no way you are going to have a driveable car on the street with that sort of power from a 2.7 litre motor that doesnt really rev
