Re: custom turbo for LX450
 

Are you planning on using at least a FMU or something?I see they are using ball bearing turbo I would think something like a GT35 might work nice.That engine sure has a nice tq curve stock :o

Re: custom turbo for LX450
 

I cant affort that ball bearing job. I have around a $200ish budget for the actual turbo. No fancy fuel manegement for now-thus the low boost- the motor can handle 6psi fine-people do it all the time.

Re: custom turbo for LX450
 

Can you link me to a setup of someone who is boosting fine with no engine management? Just curious, doesn't really sound smart in any turbo vehicle.

Did you get a turbo yet?

More fuel helps at the higher revs and when I can afford management I will get some. BUT RIGHT NOW I STILL NEED A FAWKING TURBO.

Re: custom turbo for LX450
 

Look at a holset turbo. I'm sure a hX35 or something similar would work well. They can be picked up for damn cheap too.

Re: custom turbo for LX450
 

that cummins turbo looks like it can blo but I realy want to stay with a common manifold flange because I have 4 months left in my medical residency and when I graduate I will be making bank. once I make bank I will buy bling turbo and bolt it on.

I am considering t3/t4 (a/r 60/63) hybrid with a 50 or 60 compressor trim. Anyone got one laying around? Someone PMed my with a rebuilt air research described only as ".60 inlet and 1.10 exhaust" do these numbers ring a bell as to what trim this turbo is? whould it be a t04e with trim ___. or would it be a t0b4 with a trim ___, or what. any ideas?

Re: custom turbo for LX450
 

Holset's use standard T3 flange and you could later go to a GT35 or GT40 8)

Re: custom turbo for LX450
 

That link dpes absolutely nothing to support your claim that these engines handle moderate boost fine with no management.The original poster is just lucky he didn't blow his engine up.

Show me a link or something that proves it's fine to run with no management and I'll accept the fact.

The trd supercharger kit for the 1fzfe comes with everything to run the eatom m90 on the truck as long as it is ran with the pully that comes with the kit-this makes 6ps1 and doesn't need rising rate pressures. its true that these additions help but are not needed. besides im not planning to run around at 4000rpms. But ill tell ya what; since you care so much about my motor i will run at leaste a better fuel pump if you will help me pic between these:

I just don't want you to blow your ---- up on the first try, that's all. I'm not trying to be a dick. I've also never heard of a forced induction system that ran well without management, so I'm kind of curious how it handles it?

I'm still a skeptic.
