I look forward to seeing how this turns out. Would you reccomend doing anything in regards of internals before finishing this turbo kit. I'm very interested
It's running about the same boost as Toyota had on the supercharged trucks. Stock internals should be fine. We did a Cometic head gasket and ARP head studs on this one since we replaced most of the engine.
I'm planning to turbo my 1FZ and double the stock HP so I'll be changing to forged H-Beam rods and JP pistons as well as racing bearings ARP connecting rod studs, Mains and head studs. Crower Turbo stage 4 cams, Valve springs and Valves. I also have to buy anew head with upgraded valve seats as it will be running on LPG (autogas) when daily driving hence the need for a decent ECU that can run multiple fuel maps. I'll be purchasing a second motor to do these mods to so I can keep driving the 105R till it's ready. Then I'm going to find a car shell to put the original motor into and build it for about 1000 HP and have a street/Drag car. Not many people know that the 1FZ is capable of upto 1600HP when built, everyone goes the 2JZ route for engine swaps.
@@gta4pickled The 2j studs apparently are slightly on the short side for the head but lots still use them. the mains bolts are a bit shorter so they might be perfect for that. I ordered up two sets of the opal v6 studs will see how they look here in a few days when I get everything. I’m expecting to have to cut a bit off of a few of them.
I think people usually do forged rods and pistons and thats really it. I think the block is strong enough for the hp. Maybe fuel pump, injectors, and spark plugs as well.
Hey bud, do Wits end do a kit for the 100 series/ 105 do you know ? I am in Australia so the J piping may be close to the break booster and master cylinder, just curious if they do a kit for the coil pack model 1FZFE.
Very interesting thank you for showing us how to install this kit! Can the parts be purchased separately? e.g just the J pipe and downpipe? Will you be making any changes to the ECU? I'm not a fan of running the charged air straight to the throttle body as compressing it adds heat, I'd want to install an intercooler. I've been looking into turboing my 105 1FZ (non dizzy) using some of the cheaper chinese kits but only buying the hot side and completely replacing the intake manifold with a horizontal aftermarket plenum so I can run a larger Throttle body and an intercooler that brings the air in on the left side of the car instead of over the engine. I've also purchased a Link G4+ plug-in ECU (FZJ100Link) so it can be tuned easily.
@@AbsoluteWitsEnd yes was curious about what was being done to the 1FZ, so I gather by low boost it means about 5 psi so it doesn't lean out too hard? and about a 30hp gain?
subscribed to hopefully see the follow up, only had time to have a flick through, thats a big old turbo, whats the power aim? and is the motor internaly stock?
It's up and running. We're just waiting on the owner to send us tags so we can test drive and break it in. Motor is stock except ARP head studs and a cometic head gasket.
OTRAMM what is the power aim? Or expected power?, been looking for a 4.2 80 for a while now but after seeing a few of these videos I’m tempted by a 4.5+ a little holset haha
I’ve got an automatic 2001 land cruiser with the same engine 1FZ-FE we’ve had it for 10 years now. would you say it’s worth it to rebuild the engine and install a supercharger ? I like to do off-roading when it’s raining (live in uae) and I’d like to have the extra fun but I’m worried if that gonna cause issues to the engine or maybe it’s not a good idea since it’s an automatic. What do you think ?
Toyota installed lower boost superchargers here at the dealer with no issues. It just depends on how well the engine and trans have been maintained. There's lots of guys in Australia running crazy turbo set ups with lots of power on them.
OTRAMM i had to rebuild the transmission earlier this year and I’ll probably rebuild the engine since it’s so old and doesn’t run as well as it used to, but still in a good shape. I’m just asking if the extra wear the supercharger going to cause is noticeable or will reduce the reliability.
This runs with no intercooler? Is that a problem or is that fine since its low boost. And the increase worth the kit? I'd consider doing this over trying to do a 1uz or 2uz swap if I'll be spending the same amount of money but can get more out of this kit in the long run
No intercooler because its only 7.25psi. I am in the middle of putting together a meth injection kit. I have both the supercharger and the turbo in both 97 LX450 and the turbo kicks the SC's ass. I don't understand the comment about same money as a 2UZ swap. This kit is $6k and can be done in ONE day. There is NO 2UZ off the shelf kit. No one installs a 2UZ for even close to $20k (I know, I tried) and it will take who knows how many weeks/months before you can drive it.
@@OTRAMM nice to hear that dude your 80 series repairs series is so popular in Australia so we demand more especially after the turbo installation we are starving for more info how the build ends and how good the results are when you gonna update us ?
I don't make the kits we just installed it. Absolute-wits-end.com. Sells them. His website seems to be down at the moment though. He's also on Facebook under the same name.
It's an amazing kit that's more well thought out than any other kit for anything I've seen. Built for a super small market and to pass CA emmissions. There is a ton of investment there that he's got to recoup.
@@OTRAMM I have seen a lot worse, for far more money. Take a twin turbo kit for Audi R8 v10 ay a measly 13.000$, same kit for a Lamborghini Hurracan, 19.000$. Identical kit but Lambo kit cost extra the same as this whole kit, just because of Audi vs. Lambo people are expected to spend less. For quality people will pay, there are kits on evil-bay for less than half, but way less complete. Not cheap but, for the quality, not really that expensive either. Even the tools you need are included. The most complete kit I have ever seen, on any car.
Any reason the intake couldn't be run straight across to the turbo inlet? this would negate the need for all the bends. ruclips.net/video/Df2TFNYJY8Q/видео.html
@@OTRAMM Thanks. I am curious as to why also. By the way, I have been watching your rebuild videos near religiously on the 1FZ also. Some great detail has gone into these and I thank you for your efforts. It's given me a better understanding of my Australian 105 series with the coil pack 1FZ,
Thanks for a great video. I noticed that you connected the blow off valve to the intake manifold. This is a common mistake. If it is connected there when you throttle off the manifold vacuum will be closing the blow off valve while the turbo is still pumping hard against a closed throttle plate, causing the turbo to surge. Not a good thing. If the blow off valve is on the turbo side of the throttle plate it will open when you back off and open the blow off valve - saving surge.
Great video, I turbod my 1fz 79 series Fzj79. It needed the fzj105 flywheel and clutch upgrade. Great motor 13 years of 15psi boost no issues.
Love how well this kit is put together. Very complete and well thought out!
Love it Ryan. Can't wait for start up video. Maybe a little test drive?
Need a Wits End/ Otramm microfiber towel for all the drooling lol
11:39 ...that 40 in the background is badass
Always remember when threading into aluminum. Tighten till she loosens then back half a turn
lmfao!
And dont forget to use the biggest wrench you have.
I cant wait to install one of these.
They are awesome!!
I’d love to see the results
hi otramm i have 94 80 series can not find the y pipe muffler and catalytic converters at the Dealer anywhere do you have any idea
They don't exist new anymore. Used or custom made are the only options I know of.
Really nice 👌 👍 👏

What arp stud kit are you using for the crankshaft mains?
@@nathanandhayliemyers2895 I'm pretty sure the 2J studs are the same size so I'll be using the ARP set for that.

Doses this kit even exists anymore? Not finding anything online
Doesn't seem that way. There are still folks that paid deposits and never got kits. We've had a customer waiting on one for a couple years.
what modifications does the kit provide to the fuel system for enrichment and drive ability correction ?
It runs on the stock system the same way the TRD super charger did. It doesn't boost high enough to need more mods.
How strong is the 1fzfe and what are its weakpoints when boosted ?
I think people usually do forged rods and pistons and thats really it. I think the block is strong enough for the hp. Maybe fuel pump, injectors, and spark plugs as well.
@@reetabass1540 sweet thanks
Great video. Are you still making new videos?
I haven't done any in a while. We just haven't had anything new and exciting to film.

What is the size of the turbo?
I don't remember it's been a few years, sorry.

They may still be selling them, but they aren't shipping them. We've had customers waiting years for theirs.

@@crashedking1931 OTRAMM@otramm.com
Levelish??
Was any internal engine components charged to handle the extra power?
the internals will handle quite a lot of power from the factory, this setup only runs like 6-8lbs of boost which is totally fine

I think he said in a post that he doesn't think it'll fit a right hand drive truck. He'd be the one to ask to be sure though.
Hi . Did you program the ECU to have a good balance between air / fuel. after installing a new turbo? and where we can find this kit to buy it
This kit is low boost so no need to reprogram. It's from absolute Wits' end.
@@OTRAMM thanks . Can you give a link where i can bye one like this modle of turbo .
Did you intalle vaccum pump??? What about it please
No vacuum pump. There's no need for one. If you Google wits end land cruiser the turbo will come up.
Thanks
Can u install wits end turbo on a 93 FJ80
No, it has to be a 95 and newer. The older ones don't have an ecu that will support it.
@@OTRAMM I have already built an 93 80 series. Can modifications be done to fuel control and ECU in order to fit a Turbo
@@georgetony1000 it would be cheaper to move everything to a newer truck.

No tune needed on US trucks and full kits only currently.

Nope, I just had the engine out for rebuild so it made filming easier. It'd be a nice install with the engine in place.
