Thanks for what you are doing.
Thanks for watching! If you have any questions, let me know. I also update my build on t4r.org (username is Mc1337sauce) regularly, and I plan to start one on CustomTacos as well soon under the same username.
Awesome job... you are the man.
Thank you!
Nice work, by the way!
Thanks for watching!
Great guide on the install of the KO kit, but I think you have overlooked some major parts of a 3rzfe+T build.
A few things to point out for people new to the turbo world.
Don't think I am having a hit at you because I am not, I am just trying to inform people that a turbo setup has a lot more involved then made out in your install of the KO kit
There are a few issues with your build.....For example without any kind of intercooler system you will end up pumping excessively hot air directly into the motor causing detonation under boost not to mention very low efficiency of the system due to the hot air, the hotter the air the less dense the oxygen is which will result in very low performance increase. Also on a side note the OEM MAF sensor is only capable of dealing with 3-4 psi worth of air without causing flat spots in the fuel curve.
Another thing to mention is the fueling system, without a good fuel setup you can risk running lean and killing your motor. The best and cheapest method of achieving the extra fuel with a 3rz would be a batch injector setup, the only other option would be to go for either a after market ecu (MicroTech being the best budget ecu) or a piggy back unit and replace the entire fuel system.
Thank you for your comment and concerns.
For a low-boost setup on these trucks (~7psi or under), it is fairly common to run non-intercooled; in fact, both the KO Racing and LC Engineering kits are designed to be run non-intercooled, at least at lower boost levels. I plan on installing a water/methanol injection system when I increase the boost past the 5psi I am currently running in order to reduce intake temps. For what it's worth, there is currently no detonation/ping/knock at 5psi. I do not want to install a front-mount intercooler (as is traditional in most turbocharged setups) because I do not want to cut up the truck; I am the original owner, and want to keep it as pristine as possible. If I figure out a way to run a front-mount without any cutting, I will definitely go that route, but I doubt it will be possible.
Right now, I am running the truck on the stock ECU and fuel system (305cc brown injectors, in my case), and at 5psi, I run an 11-11.5 AFR in boost. I plan on purchasing an AEM F/IC, fuel pump, and a set of injectors for when I increase boost in the future (again, I do not plan on ever going past 7psi).
Let me know what you think of my plans for future upgrades. I won't be doing many upgrades for quite a while, but it is always good to have someone else's opinion, especially when they know what they are talking about.
Thanks for watching!
Not to be a dick. But you are way off when it comes to this motor. And a low boost application you literally don't have to change much of anything. In fact most people are running completely stock everything some people may add a fmu and that's about it. Know if you're going to go over 7 or 8 PSI of course you're going to have to start looking into all the things you listed. You can get a good 222 250 horsepower at 7 or 8 PSI on stock everything. Intercooler is completely unnecessary for this build. The map sensor has been proven time and time again but it can handle up to 8 PSI and even some cases people running 10 with no issues. If you have any leaning out and boost issues the simple Solution is to increase your fuel volume obviously the easiest way being a mechanical fmu
dumb question but... Why didn't you add an intercooler to chill the charge air and flex pipe on ur exhaust to keep it from breaking when accelerating?
No question is a dumb question! The reason for no intercooler is ease of installation and preservation of the originality of the core support - I didn't want to start cutting up the truck, and in a low boost application if you see the need for charge cooling all you need is methanol injection.
As for the flex pipe, I don't feel there is a need for it - the vast majority of factory exhaust systems do not have a flex tube, as they wear out much faster than standard, solid pipe, and with proper alignment (read: quality design) it's not necessary.
Thanks for watching!
I think this is the test drive video - Turbo 3RZ-FE 4Runner - Test Drive with Turbo Kit
Yep, you got it! Thanks for watching!
Still have truck? How’s it holding up?
how do you get it to idle in having trouble with that
I have a 96 Toyota 4Runner with this same engine in a 5 speed manual, what do you think the cost would be to do this start to finish?
If you buy the kit on sale like I did, you can probably get away with spending $3000-3500 total assuming parts cost for things like valve cover gaskets and misc. turbo parts are approximately the same. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
How did it end up running with the auto transmission? How would you sum up the difference in power or driveability? I have a 2004 Tacoma with the 2RZ and have been considering boosting it.
Perfect - you need to run a recirculated BOV with the automatic transmission, but other than that mine is perfectly drivable and with a huge power increase from stock. If you have any other questions just let me know, and thanks for watching!
@@redonKiLaus thanks for the response! Your videos have already answered many of my questions and I'll be back if I have more lol. Thanks again!
Clean and awesome!
Did you have to use an aftermarket ECU? or did you just install the kit? did you change the injectors?
Thanks for the complement! The ECU and fuel system are completely stock on this truck, and almost 20k miles later still running very strong. Stay tuned for another turbo vehicle build in the coming months, and thanks for watching!
did you have to upgrade the fuel system or do any tuning?
+Jeffrey Hardman I'm running a fairly low 5psi of boost, so no, no upgrades, though if you have a weak fuel pump definitely upgrade to a Walbro 190 or 255. Thanks for watching!
Are you from Bavaria? I lived in Germany 1979 to 1991. Dad was in the Army!
I've done a lot of business/travelling there and family is from Germany. Thanks for watching!
hey how long did it take for you to get your kit? I've been waiting since July haha
I believe I ordered mine during December '13, and received it March '14. I know KO has had an increase in business, so they may be taking longer to get the kits out than a few years ago. Regardless, the quality of their work is definitely worth the wait.
You ever thinking about getting a Inter cooler and what turbo is that
No need for an intercooler with my setup and low boost. I'm fine with the truck as it is for sure. It's a Garrett hybrid T3/T4 turbo, can't remember specs, it's an older model by today's standards for sure. Thanks for watching!
Have you seen any 3RZ 4runners w/intercooler? I'm wondering if there's a good way to do it while keeping a stock look.
Nope. Heck, I've never even seen another turbo 3RZ 4Runner. From what I have seen, there are three options for running an intercooler. The easiest is to remove the factory skid plate, as with it out of the way, you can just run your piping out the bottom of the engine bay and up behind the bumper while still keeping it tucked up and out of the way. You would need to custom fabricate your piping, however. The second way is to go through the inner fenders, but that requires cutting, something that I am not willing to do on my truck. The third way is to go through the core support, which is what Rock Toy Industries did with their prototype 5VZ turbo kit. This requires cutting too, though. I may try designing an intercooler system that is as bolt-on as possible for these trucks over summer, but there's no guarantee that I will succeed.
any issues venting maf air into the atmosphere. generally maf vehicles use bypass valve. instead of blow off valve.
I'm well aware of the issues associated with VTA blow off valves post-MAF, but this type of setup on these trucks is very-much workable if they're manual and you don't drop into neutral when the valve vents. Unfortunately, in the case of automatic trucks (mine), the A340E is a freecoasting transmission, meaning you run into stalling issues caused by the rich condition associated with not recirculating the valve. I simply converted my TiAL Q to a QR, which I cover in another video on my channel if you search for it. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
Awesome. Thanks
redonKiLaus
My truck is manual transmissio. You think i will have stalling issues if i make my blow off valve vent to atmosphere ?
and the ECU?
Factory ECU. It does well at 5psi.
Where does the hose from the blow-off go to?
That tee's into the power steering vacuum line that is plumbed to the front of the intake plenum. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
Will this work in An auto tacoma 04 2rz or it has to be manual
My 4Runner is automatic, so you're good. Thanks for watching!
How did that radiator hose work out? Any issues with it?
Perfect, no issues whatsoever with about 20k miles on the kit (I don't drive the truck a ton, not a daily driver). Thanks for watching!
When can we see it run and get some performance info?
I have a video on my channel of taking it for a test drive at various speeds and in various situations. As for performance info, KO Racing has a dyno sheet on their website for a turbo 2RZ at 4.5psi. My turbo 3RZ is at 5psi, so it should be making a bit more power than the one that they dyno'd.
where did you route the fuel pressure regulator hose and the blow valve hose?
The FPR vacuum line is routed to one of the small pre-TB vacuum nipples (tee'd into another line in my case), and the BOV line tees off of the line from the intake manifold to the power steering pump. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions, and thanks for watching!
perfect thank you. I think that's why I'm not reading vacuum at idle. I just have a hooked up wrong
The BOV definitely needs to see vacuum at idle, the FPR should not which is why it's pre-throttlebody. If you have idle issues or something not seeming to work quite properly, it's most likely just a vacuum mixup.
And where dies the red hose go to?
The red hose runs from the front crankcase breather to the turbo inlet pipe. Hope that helps too!
Do you know if this kit would work on a 2004 Toyota Tacoma Sr5 2.7 4 cylinder?
It certainly will, you just have to take a few measurements under the truck to know which version of the kit to order. Everything you need to know is on KO Racing's website. Thanks for watching!
thank you very much. seriously considering installing this kit.
No problem, I highly recommend it. KO does excellent work and my truck has been awesome in the 5K+ miles I have put on it since I installed the turbo kit. Thanks for watching!
The new 2.7L engine is not the same as this one in the old Toyota trucks - the new one is the 2TR-FE. I believe LC Engineering is currently developing a turbo kit for the new trucks, so I would contact them to see and potentially get yourself on a list for one. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
the update maf sensor extension? can you she'd some light on this and how much it was etc
Here's the link to the harness: urdusa.com/store/Electronics-Plug-N-Play-Harnesses/c66_124/p1260519375/URD-MAF-Sensor-Extension-Harness-DENSO-MAF-Sensor/product_info.html
It allows plug and play install as far as the MAF is concerned - without it, you would have to cut and splice in wire extensions for the MAF. Thanks for watching!
+redonKiLaus hey thanks only thing is its for +05 vehicles.. did it still work? you have a late 90s 4runner right? I have a 96 tacoma 2.7 that I'm going to but turboing
Yeah, it should work with your truck as well assuming it uses the standard 5 wire MAF sensor...my 3RZ 4Runner uses one, so I don't see why your Taco wouldn't.
+redonKiLaus do you have a email I can like kind of ask you some question in depth? but mine is a three wire:|
Yeah, shoot a message to redonkilaus@gmail.com
If you can include a pic of the MAF connector you have, that would help as well.
What is the hose from that you used in place of stocker?
Thanks
*Chris
Total costs to start and finish project?
At this point it's been so long I can't remember, but if I had to ballpark $4-5k. Thanks for watching!
stock pistons?
Everything is stock internal to the engine. Thanks for watching!
are you saying hello and goroose got? or is your name goroose got?
I am saying "Hallo, und Grüß Gott." It is a German greeting. Thanks for watching!
Maf or map sensor?
These trucks use a MAF sensor. Thanks for watching!
redonKiLaus was just wondering because i have bought a t28 turbo and plan on building headers for my australian delivered 3rz 2000 hilux... hard for find exhaust manifold to suit rhd and manual
I can definitely see that being an issue with RHD a factor. Good luck on the build, I'm sure you'll enjoy the turbocharged RZ!
Clearly no budget on this 2rz upgrade
Believe it or not I built this back when I was 18 and in college, so there was definitely a budget on the build. It's been tidied up a bit since then though. Thanks for watching!
