Turbos and Super Chargers Feedback

75 series

if your motor didnt come out with one factory fitted then be very careful as turbo's fitted to non turbo motors generally dont last.the bottom end wont cope with the extra torque produced by the turbo

Never heard of a Super Charger on a 75 Series, some do Turbo them but you are taking the risk of the Big Bang.
Just put a "Non Turbo" sign on the back like I saw posted here recently :-)
The 1 HZ is a great motor if looked after and IF NOT towing will sit at 120 Km/Hr all day.

I think the big bang theory depends on the amount of boost you set your turbo at. I have a 99 100 series, and turboed it at 290k. It has now done 384k, and there is not a hint of stress on the motor at all. The boost is very modest - about 5 bar, and iit has turned my old girl into another vehicle altogether.
I no longer have to pick it up and carry it, I can overtake quickly and safely in 5th gear, and tow a 30' van in 4th running around 26-2800 rpm. It will pull the van over most modest hills with very little loss of power in 4th as long as the revs are kept up. I keep it above 2000 rpm and change down as necessary - doesn't happen very often. You don't get neck snapping power, but the torque is fantastic, and it just keeps pulling.
The secret is to get the motor thoroughly checked by a GOOD turbo expert, who should advise whether your motor is suitable for the mod. Mine was done at United Fuel Injection in Perth, and cost $4200 a couple of years ago.

DON'T go for the big boost - you'll get amazing power ......... and a lot of heartache. Gentle boost is all you need.

I had HJ60 which I turboed, the crankshaft had the same number of bearings as later model motors, Ialso fitted aboost guage and it to about 5bar and it never reached full boost until 100km/hr. Av fuel economy of 7 k's/litre best run was 10 ks (once) motor was still running well when traded. The extra power made it a pleasure to drive and gave slightly more than my mates vehicle with extras fitted (about the same economy)

I have a supercharger fitted to my patrol, best thing ever. I have also heard that S/C on Toyota's destroy the harmonic balancer throwing everything out through the radiator, the toyota balancers are just not up to it.
