Turbocharging

Hi Truckster
Is that $3000 include the intercooler ?and exhaust?

Inc 'zaust, but no IC, that was fitted too! Although it was mates rates Still cant see $nearly 7k..

With intercooler, Im going with a custom made one from AWILL4x4 from this list, he makes them for race cars, drag cars etc.. Knows his shait.

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT HE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine came with Manifold, 2.5in mandral bend exhaust, and everything else to get running, Wastegate, Snail, bolts, etc pipes, hoses, everything... $3000.

Fitted and all. Tune checked by ARB for $120.00.. I DID get a good deal!

Whats the 7th injector for?

Who did the work, its lots expensive.

The seventh injector comes in as revs increase, it is in the intake airflow just before the intake manifold.
EFI computer driver module is connected to this injector.
Safari forgot the driver on original install kit, will run lean without this.(as I found out recently, the add on module melted, as this is inside the vehicle, mounted in a plastic-combustible box, could have caused a fire)

Those CAPA Prices are for Diesel, not the Petrol. They dont even mention a kit for it which is odd.

Oooops, sorry not up with what Patrol engines are what sorry.

But, they have some petrol kits, 2.7 Hilux for eg, but alas no 'kit' for my 2.6 Rodeo :(

Everyone I have talked to wants mega $$$ to do a one off custom installation, I have had guesstimates from $9k - $15k go figure.

Not being stupid, whats the difference?? Wouldnt it just be replace the manifold with the snail on, cross over pipe, plug in chip, or 'flash' the chip, add the 'Zaust and drive away

Why are petrol parts different to Diesel for a Turbo?

I remember you talkin about that car at work one day, the smile made you get a 4.5 for your GQ! :-)~

Bruce (Truckster) if you add the cost of the intercooler probably around $2000 - $2500 at workshop prices and also the unichip which Safari use to integrate into the engine management (a petrol version of their Dtronic if you like) at approx $1500 you've already added $3500 to $4000 to the cost of the turbo kit so that's why the prices seem so high.
Birdy is talking about running an extra 7th injector which in my view is a bit crude. The 4.5 turbo one I drove used larger injectors from the Godzilla Skyline which were probably a bit over the top, and this install was done by Nizpro and the price he was charged was Waaaaaay over what Birdie paid. (So don't feel so bad Birdie)
I'd be very curious to know just how much AVO charge for their installed turbo kit, particularly as their using roller bearing turbo's.
Regards Andrew.

I guess the security of having a specialist install, tune and guarrantee the install is worth thousands of dollars, the engine is 220kw and great to drive, however, my point re the better value of the AVO kit is also valid.
Also, you are correct, very few Companies make a kit for the 4500 engine and they can charge what they like.
Be careful though, I have now discovered that the safari kit sold by Safari Direct is NOT certified for Australia. Same for many Toyota kits available. I have paid good $$$ for this Turbo kit. I was not told.
I am not sure what this means yet, will let you know.

Has any one installed a Turbo kit and does it come with an Owners Manual? Not just an install guide. Even second hand cars must be sold with an owners manual.

The EFI engine is complex, as Andrew said, Oxy sensor, ECU, Throttle position sensor, Airflow sensor, knock sensor, crank position sensor and many more devices that have to interreact for clean burn.

Very expensive to replace an engine
