People wonder why i dont mod my car, i hate to ruin a perfect running 1992 car. Pfffttt. Youll see a GT40-67 or 88 on my car before independance day

DETUNED

you're going way too big on that 2.5 if you get an 88. Anyway, Why would it be unreliable? It's a bone stock FACTORY toyota motor.

More concerned about the electrical aspect, it had problems on the old motor. Never arised on this one. I'm also going to hook up my AC in a week or so, it worked before the swap, so hopefully it still does.

Also add this to the list of things that dont need repair but are annoying:

The vacuum hose to the Ps pump had a split in it, but looked ok. Pump made noise for 3 days and i changed fluid and all, still made noise. Finally found the split in the line but too late, pump peremantly has a slight whine to it now. That will never get fixed as long as it doesn't ever leak or get as loud as yours Peter

GT40-88 from my reading has a smaller inducer then the 67tho. Gamer on the GT40-67 with cams had no problems with it, especially with the auto. 4xxxRPM spool @ 18psi and redline around 9 grand. Im still trying to figure out what to do about an ECU. No one here in FL tunes Fcon's, what i seriously want. Emanage sucks on a 1jz, pulls timing like a safc. Im still lost on what to control it with. I cant afford to do a custom AEM or Haltec unless i sell the RC.

peter he doesn;t mean a 88 mm inducer. rather a 88 mm exducer mated to a 63.5mm inducer. with a gt40 turbine wheel. Turbo max effeciency and max rated rwhp is 700-7500rwhp. not the crazy 88mm turbo that is rated to 1000-1100rwhp.

Al, I guess I read it way too fast. I thought he was talking like an sp88 like Eric has on his supra. I was about to say.......

VJ RC51

Since i plan to take my redline to around 9-9500, i think the GT40-88 might suit me better then the GT40-67. Dunno yet still researching

got_trd

if only 600+hp was that easy.......

VJ RC51

Your telling me. It would be alot easier if there was someone in FL that could work with fcon's lol.

turbodude

yeah 88mm turbo for a 2.5l engine would be overkill unless you had a 6000rpm stall and revved to 11k. How is life going peter. Gonan swap my car soon. as soon as i fidn a decent motor. know of anyone? You know me Gonna try to blow away some records with the 1jz

DETUNED

I'm sure you will set some records with the 1jz. I wish I was staying in the SC community and I will miss my car dearly. It's not even gone yet, and I feel like a big part of me is gone.


And to think, we didn't even get to hit the 800rwhp mark when it was right there. sooooooooo close.

turbodude

VJ RC51
