Turbo Charging A Tundra!

You’ll know when I get it back home,,, you will be more than welcome to come take a looksee!!

 

I will most likely "hear" it before I "see" it, and I will make sure I stay out of your way.... But being in the NW area of town, I should be out of your way, SHOULD!!! hehe

 

Here’s a link that shows what they’ve got fabbed so far https://www.tundras.com/threads/tundra-5-7l-needed-for-some-parts-testing.115748/#post-2977130

 

Been on phone trying to figure out how to get home!! Do not want to fly and will have to make some stops on the way home and one stop will be to a friends gun shop. Going to rent a car and stop some places on the way back!

 

Saw all that and know the basics I just do not know the little things and mounting hardware. There will be the water/meth stuff, the blow off, and the new cat underneath. Which none of that really concerns me. I told him I want it looking nice, runs good, no codes and it looks like a professional put this all together. They will have the knowledge and everything they need when done and I will have a nice Turboed 21Tundra that should sound amazing especially to someone that knows the Tundras which will make them wonder HOW, WHAT, WHO, WHY, and OMG!!!!

I am anxious to see the completed project. Interested to see how it will all be mounted to make the magic happen.

 

This. Someone above said "I don't see many partaking of the stage 1."

I'll absolutely be one of those partaking of the stage 1. I mean, from what I understand, 15% of the HP made by a motor is lost via the driveline.

If so, I assume around 55HP lost with the 5.7. If stage 1 is 400WHP, if I read this right, that means 70HP or so from stage 1, no codes, runs well, looks professional, no premium required. I'd buy the hell out of that.

(And of COURSE I'd upgrade to stage 2 in the future. lol)

 

Wouldn't the system need to be cat-less? since you kinda have to get rid off the primary cats, go into y-pipe then turbo's hotside, unless the downpipe has 2x o2 sensor bungles to mound factory secondary o2s and run a single cat?

All my questions are just my curiosity, not doubt, we are all excited to see more options.

 

I always learn from y'all's questions.

which is dangerous.

because it makes me spend $.

 

Have to pass emissions in Texas plus it’ll still be dual exhaust,, I reckon that is why it has to be super high flow cat. They know which one works and will pass and no codes. That’s all I know at this time but I did ask that.

 

it keeps us out of trouble.

 

The whole thing just about come to a grinding halt on my part.


Things are back in order and moving forward with everything. Everyone involved is on the same page! Anxiety

will explain when things start to progress. Wish me luck?

 

Everything has to come together now there is no other option!!! Hope I did not jinx myself



did it on a whim! Impulse thingy! It felt good when I did it so it might bring me good luck???

 

I did find out that there will be no hole in the front. I saw a two stage Camaro and thought I would have one like it does,, nope. So that is a good thing.

Also found out that there will be a jump up to the 4 to 4.5 pipe for the stage two because of the MAF!! I have another name for that thing!!

 

Dang nice!! Those guys are in my neck of the woods. If I didn't need my Tundra, I would have jumped the deal. Can't wait to see what comes out of it for your truck!!!

 

Truck is in Connecticut, right off the bat straight to the Dyno. Running the TRD dual Cat Back exhaust and the TRD Cool Air Intake my Tundra Pushed 323 HP at the rear wheels with 350 foot pounds of torqueness!! I think that what he said. Files to large over the phone. I will get a copy of the print out. I saw all the stage one parts and also saw my 4.5 inch pip with the mount for the MAF (custom made) for stage two. Stage one will be put on and tuned the to the Dyno. After that they will take that apart and start the stage two. That will be tuned along with the trans and everything will be done correctly. My truck will run great before the call me to come pick it up. 4 to 6 weeks. As I gets reports I will post. I forgot to get the custom piece picture but here is the stage one laid out

 

Also found out there will be no hole in front end for intake purposes. Updates as I get them!!

 

320 to 330 rear wheel and torque of 340,, will post graph in a minute


Give or take a couple HP! That is the first Dyno on a stock Tundra I have actually saw and talked to the people that did it!

 

It’s at some wizards shop where they build high dollars race cars!!!! Magic starts Thursday then it should keep rolling onto Stage 2 but that will take time as no pipe is cut or welded but soon there will be!! Wish em luck and me too!!!!

 

What turbo/s are they using?

 

I have to wonder if a TC would affect the longevity of the engine like supposedly a SC does?

 

I would think it might be gentler on the engine as long as they don't run the turbos super hard. IE, don't try to make 500 WHP on a turbo that can only realistically flow 55 lbs/min of air mass.

 

Are you on stock sized tires? Those power numbers seem on the high side already for stock.

 

Stock tires but dual cat back TRD and TRD cold air intake. There is no reason to make up numbers, see true on a mustang Dyno! No reason to tell fibs on any of this!! Look at the chart

 

It should run cooler and more efficiently, also get a mile or two more per gallon as long as I stay out of boost!!

 

Precision it’s on the box in the corner. All of the stage one will be what will be sold as a bolt on kit I assume after the first of the year. And that be a single turbo for the stage one and two. They have to turn the turbo for the stage two too!!!

The high flow CAT should be there Wednesday? I thought that was what he mentioned?



Sending an email to get a picture of the 4.5 pipe for the MAF!! I saw it and the weld around the mounting plate looks great!!

 

Here is the big piece for the MAF.

 

Do you know what size precision turbo? I’d venture to guess it’s a 60 frame size turbo

 

What’s the oil situation? Or did I miss that part. Are these sealed turbos?

 

This was their reply.

The base turbo will be a 7675 Precision, there will be options for the 7275 Billet, 7275 Billet Ball bearing, 7675 Billet and 7675 Billet Ball Bearing, we are also looking into some lower cost turbo options from On3 and VS racing. But the piping is set up for a T4 based turbo, so really any T4 turbo should fit and work.

 

They are using a T at the sending unit and then return back to the oil pan. They have used this application for a long time and have never had any troubles.
