Heres some pics of the truck as of today. It runs real nice, it reachs full boost at around 4k.
The back end lifted 6".
I picked up the BOV off ebay for $30, and custom made the IC piping.
FMIC from a Probe GT.
The Vortech 12:1 FMU.
sweet! looks like its coming along great! ;D
coolest project on the forums :nod
Agreed, this project is just plain awesome and completely unexpected.
Thanks fellas! When I bought the truck, I said I was going to turbo the thing. No one expected I would, until I pulled up to work with the IHI turbo in my hands. A week later I had it done and running. Its a totally random thing to turbo, but that’s why I did it.
I am hoping I can get some vids today while at work of the truck.
awesome, can’t wait to see them! ;D
I love this truck. It will drift on 32"s no E-brake required! The turbo reaches full spool at 4k rpm and it turns into a completely different truck. It really brings V8 torque out of that 2.6L four banger.
Come talk to me about Megasquirt… Megasquirt doesnt use MAF at all. Its complete DIY standalone fuel and ignition management and it has been programmed to do so much more http://youtube.com/results?search_query=megasquirt&search=Search You will see everything from 1200+hp big blocks to Skyline RB25DETs to even Saab and BMWs with Megasquirt. Not to mention Nick’s 90 Probe GT Turbo on Megasquirt with coil on plug from an SR20. http://www.diyautotune.com/
Joe, we need to hang out and talk more. I looked into megasquirt but kind of got side track. Once I know what I need, I will pick it up.
You’re the fucking man. Don’t let nobody tell you otherwise :lol
Eric is awesome… He will find the best deals and build the most off beat stuff you will find. He has no fear of diving into a prodject. Remember that tiny 4 wheeler with the 100cc 2stroke? This was one of those cheap 50cc quads with way too much power and a 4 speed gear box. He had to fabricate a wheeley bar for it. It was a good time :banana
He’s the kind of guy that would turbo a push-along lawn mower, and jetski’s and than later, his kids first power car, and then throw a motor on his bicycle.
That mini quad was the best! It was a 5spd enduro motor, with 3rd gear wheelies all day long!
Hoping I can finally get some vids of the truck today in the snow. I am working on hooking up a e-brake I had pulled from an integra a while back.
Joe, maybe we won’t almost flip this thing again! I am sure you will be along for the ride :lol
O U KNO IT! :runaway
I know my next project now… Turbo Jetski… with microsquirt! (waterproof Megasquirt) Laptop on the water for tuning!!! Nick will be fixing my computer again :idiots I think Im funding his Stage 3 APR S4
I know Honda makes a Turbo Jetski and SEADOO makes a Supercharged/Intercooled one
We can always turbo my CRF50 ;D
When is this thing getting lifted?
Ohh is nick the guy that works in schenectady with the silver b5 s4?
He’s already got the APR stage 3 in :banana
He parks in my parking garage, small world…
Not sure man. I got to get rid of that 240 I got from Jeff. Then I have to finish up the B16 Civic, since I keep fucking up my truck. Hopfully once I get my tax’s back it will be done. I am still trying to work on getting those damn videos of this thing :tong
word.
can’t wait to peep those videos dude. ;D
If I had a dollar for every turbo lifted Izuzu I’ve seen…
I’d be broke as hell :lol
Keep up on the project.
Can’t wait for spring! This damn weather is killing me :headbang
Going to work on it tomorrow at work. Hopfully get some vids and more pics up.
