Turbo timer on 5L hilux

Hi guys, I recently installed an aftermarket turbo on my 5L hilux, I just received a turbo timer off a mate and it didnt come with a wiring diagram, It has 3 wires coming out of it, red, black and yellow. I'm not sure what wires go with what. Would appreciate any help in installing this. Thanks

Re: CT 20 Turbo on 5L hilux information

I think I may have solved the leaking oil problem, I didnt relocate the rocker cover breather, so pressurised air was going into the rocker cover, so I hooked it into the low pressure side of the turbo. Hopefully that fixes the oil issue, Also I think I noticed a leak out of the manifold, so that ...

Re: CT 20 Turbo on 5L hilux information

Re: CT 20 Turbo on 5L hilux information

The oil was leaking out the exhaust and out the intake side I think. Is it easy to drill into the sump? I'm not sure what the problem is with my turbo but I do think I need a new one. Did you get a dyno reading? If so how much power did you get? On the dyno reading it said at my max power output it ...

Hi guys, just wondering if I could get your opinion on this topic. I have just put a CT 20 turbo on my 5L hilux, I got it dyno tuned and they said the turbo was boosting too late, around 3000rpm instead of 2000rpm. and I am getting too much psi out of it. I have also noticed oil leaking too, But I ...

Cheers, What model do you have? Have you had any trouble with the turbo being on your car? that was my main worry, something happening to a reliable car. Is it a big job to drop the sump?

Too many km's for a turbo?

Hi, I own a 97 toyota hilux 5L 3ltr diesel, I have done 280000km's, I am wondering whether I have done too many km's for a turbo to be installed.. I dont want to risk engine damage, but would like a bit more power.. I wouldnt run much boost or flog it. it does not use much oil also.
