BZ BLACKTOP TURBO CONVERSION

[BLACKTOP_WAGON]

HI I HAVE SEEN THE SILVER TOP CONVERSION DONE I WAS WONDERING WHAT I COULD USE FROM MY BLACK TOP I CAN PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING MYSELF EXCEPT TUNING CAN I USE THE BLOCK,CRANK,RODS I WANT TO USE MY HEAD IS IT POSSIBLE TO JUST REPLACE THE PISTONS AND HEAD GASKET AND STILL BOOST LIKE 15PSI
INTERCOOLER IS RACEPRO BRANDNEW AND I GOT A T3 TURBO
PLEASE HELP

[Mr Revhead]

my first piece of advice is turn off ya caps.


2nd:

you can only use your block, head and crank
you need new rods and pistons

[BLACKTOP_WAGON]

so i just need new pistons and rods do i need a new ecu. i have a 6 speed lsd will that do or do you think it will blow up

[BLACKTOP_WAGON]

if i get new pistons i guess they with fit my block and head and crank etc

If you have to ask...

Place bets now?

[no_8wire]

buy my 4agze block it has all you need to turbo...execpt the rods...
brand new low comp pistons and rings, pm me...

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

mate, not sure if you realise how much its ging to cost to turbo your car, its not as simple as whacking a turbo on
it costs literally thousands... (ie ~$5000+)

[BLACKTOP_WAGON]

cant be that much considering i all ready have a manifold and turbo and intercooler and i am a mechanic but just need to know about toyotas in my spare time i have been making up the piping so i just need to know what i have over looked

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

depends how long you want it to last
ECU
rods
pistons
cert
wiring
intake manifold (stock is no good)
injectors
bov
fueling - pumps lines etc
wastegate

and as you said
turbo
exhaust manifold
intercooler
i/c piping

most people use GZE block/crank/pistons/rods etc, smallport non-tvis manifolds,

[mr pad]

Give the guy a break. It sounds like he knows what hes doing and asked the right questions..

[Bazda]

use the blacktop head
you will need all the stuff santa has said +

stronger valve springs for the BT head
a plenum to suit the thorttle bodies with an adapter plate
A ecu that can handle the quads . ie autronic ($2k+)
