15-16psi on 2.8 HILUX?

[toyota mick]

Recently After Fitting My Turbo On My Hilux {out Of A Surf}
I Fitted A Boost Controller ,so Later On I Can Control :psi:
But Thinking It Was Set At A Minimal Setting & Without A Boost Gauge At The Time,i Didnt Know Excactly What It Was Running At....

Today I Quickly Fitted Up The Gauge.....and Realised It's Up Too Too High,stationary Just Revving The Engine Got To About 10psi Maybee 12psi.........i Took It For A Good Run It Was Over 15psi.......

No Wonder She Was Moving And Whistling Her Ass Off!

Lucky I'v Done Less Than 500km's From Boost Controller Was Fitted

Lucky I Still Have A Bottom End......


Who Said 2.8's Dont Like It Cranked?

Lol

Wow. That's cool! Just leave it up that high and see how it goes. You can always turn it down quickly if things don't seem right. What sort of economy do you think you might've been getting around that boost?

Id Be Lucky To Get 350 Km To A Tank Like That....

Have you fitted a boost compensator yet TM? Was it blowing alot of smoke of boost?

[boof]

SOunds like a good way to blow it up so you can fit a Lexus instead :D:D:D

[lux2.8]

just wondering,i put a turbo setup of a surf also on to my hilux what kind of boost where you getting straight up my is in getting tuned today should be intresting

[toyota mick]

well yes it was blowing smoke just on take off.....nothing after that i think the ct20 surf turbo was on about 4-5 psi now iv just got it on 10 psi until i get it to the diesel dyno,then might get the boost compinsator maybee intercooler?its still not climbing thosre hills like id want it to.......il start the hill at 110kph......by the top im doing 80 kph.......somethings not right i really want it sorted its pissing me off.............on the flat road no worries to 130 kph.....just those bloddy hills!!!

i wouldnt put it up much higher then 10psi. thats what ive got mine set up as. will be adding a intercooler soon but noit gonna turn the boost up.

i heard something like 1degree cooler you gain 5hp?

im generally getting up hills at about 100kph. depends on the hill tho some i drop back to 80kph. oh and mick my dyno readout is up on tha intercooler thread.

[nate]

ill be putting a turbo on mine for sure, so keep the replies going on this so i can keep finding info :)

still not impressed about hearing those hills still bother it, its no v8 though :D

[crack]

nate depends alot on what tyres and gearing your running to. but ya gotta remeber they arnt a race car. but its a damm sight better then what they are wihout one! i dont regret it at all

[nate]

yeah thats why im sticking with a diesel for the lux and v8 for my commodores. To start with ill wait till my 31's are dead then only 33's mabe 35's done the track but good chance just the 33's

[toyota mick]

It Is Heaps Better Doing The Same Hills Before I Was In 3rd Doing 60-70 Kph With 31"a/t's..........so Doing 80-85kph With 33"s Isnt Too Bad ...


Does Anybody With A 2.8 .....power Up A Hill?

I Think Intercooler,exhaust,boosted Injector Pump.......still The Same Shit ,your Not Ganna Be Over The Moon With Performance Are Ya?


If She Holds 100kph ,loaded With Camping Gear ,33m/t And My Fat Arse It Will Do...

[crack]

when you say power up a hill do you mean drop it back a gear and hit it at high revs?

Do You Know What The Factory Spec Is?

It Has Only Done It Once......
