bosozoku_gx71 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Basically I figure I need map sensors, going to get a turbo intake plenum, injectors, head gasket. But I'm curious what sort of turbo to run, would ideally like to get a single turbo set up off a vvti engine but seems real hard to find. So I'm asking how hard would it be to get one ct26 2jz turbo and run it as a single. Should I get high mount extractors. Or if anyone knows of a better turbo to use or an easier way? Don't want huge power or boost levels. Just give it abit of help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I was told the non turbo heads have a different exhaust manifold patten so it may pay to check this. I would also suspect if the engine is healthy enough it should be happy to run 8-10 psi without a new geadgasket ( I ran 20 psi on my old 1gge motor). What is the plan for the ECU, the n/a one probably won't be too happy dealing with boost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 yeah the N/A engines run big distributors while the turbos are C.O.P/wasted spark setup, so the distributor takes up room on an N/A head where a section of the turbo manifold would go.

ryanfels Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 From what ive seen, you shouldnt need to change the head gasket and will most likely need to run an aftermarket ECU. 1jzgte stuff wont bolt on as the bolt patterns are different between the N/A and turbo heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Link, custom headers, dirty old IHI turbo. Done Cheap? Think again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 This is a stock 2jzge + t through a big stall converter on E85 on ~20 psi. runs 10.49 @ 131 for less than $5k total.

Testament Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 runs 10.49 @ 131 for less than $5k total. yeah.........nah he be lying. I'm not saying it wasn't done really cheaply but unless he got most stuff for free/stole stuff and used slave labour it definitely cost more. People just count how much big ticket things cost and forget all the other stuff too, fuel lines, tyres, cut off wheels, boxes of beers etc. edit: ok after skim reading the thread a little yeah, maybe he spent less than $5k but I am right in that he got most of the stuff for free or next to nothing which ok thats cool but is very much a distorted picture if anyone thinks oh yeah im going to do more or less the same thing.

efp0wa Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I just read that entire thread regarding the Cressida... Easy power, good skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yea, I have to say, that it was possibly a bit misleading, I don't think anyone could repeat the exercise for the same $$ but I do believe that he did it for that price. If you look at the rules for the 13s for $1300 competion then you will see that everything thats had for free has to be priced at market value, a few items like drag radials are not included in the price though. After all the coveted "Performanceforums Niggerdick Ashtray of Glory" is up for grabs, why would he want to jeopardise his chances???

bosozoku_gx71 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yeah after thinking about it, there is better ways i could spend the money. Coilovers, big rear diff which means subframe conversion. It will slide sweet as and its still got decent power. I guess im just sick of it because of the open diff more than anything, get a lockey/lsd in it and i will be in love again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Calico Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 how about same question later model vvti 1Zing-GE? (no dizzy) head ports still different etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfels Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 VVTI will be an arse to wire in on the standard ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 The vvti heads are the worst flowing of all jz heads and struggle to make power above factory spec withoug serious work. But that said, they are much nicer to drive at standard power levels as they have a much nicer torque curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
