Turbo 4runner mud fun

There, I made a snorkel.

awesome, lol putting safari outta business

It's probably the most ideal place to put it for what I do, but finding the right material to make it with may be a problem. Really dont think I'm going to find a snorkel from something else that would fit there correct. Might take some more time, beer, and thinking.

We are supposed to get some snow up in the hills this weekend and we want to go play in it, would make for good pics and video, just have to be carefull about slush and crap until I figure something out I guess.

A thought - instead of running a snorkel on the exterior, why not bring the air intake into the cabin instead?

Thanks, cost is at about $500 so far, so fun to drive, did awesome on the big hills and rocks too, just waiting for my friend to Email me the video.

how is that only costing $500??

 

[Clownmeat]

More like $563, but it's not completely done either.

oh oh oh well ok now thats more believable i was gonna say there is no way you could do that for $500, but $563 i can see lol :moon::hiding::nicethread:

yeah, a $500 turbo setup makes me very leary. im guessing its just a blower stuck in there right? are you running an intercooler??? bov? i would also carry around some spare o2 sensors until you get an egt gauge and a way to control the egt. and my guess is that any turbo that came from a $500 kit is not gonna have a real long life, a good proper turbo usually runs $1k or more for just the unit. slapping a blower on with nothing else is a recipe for disaster in my experience. sounds great right now though. keep us updated on it! :keyboard:

No need for an intercooler in my situation. Yes, there is a BOV. Exhaust temps are spot on, there is no cat. The turbo didn't come from a kit. Same turbo has been on another car for 5 years no troubles at all. Not sure about this "blower" you speak of. Updates will be in my build thread.

 

[awdjunkies]

as an intercooler is dependent on a few factors but, also how many PSI you are running.

I agree. 7psi.

 

[Mf Baker]

ok, so basically the price you quoted did not include the actual turbo itself then, correct? that makes a lot more sense. i thought you meant you got piping and a turbo and all for $500 which sounded really scary to me.

 

[Clownmeat]

Yes, that includes the turbo and everything, so scary it is then.
