3rz-fe Turbo Information

Post by jonkers »

Hi guys.

I am just wanting some information on turboing a 98 hilux 3rz-fe.

I have done a bit of a search and can not find a great deal. Does anybody make a turbo manifold you can buy off of the shelf or am i going to have to get one custom made?


Also what size turbo's do people recomend? I have a water to air intercooler and bb turbo hear left over from my last project.

Any info would be great.

Have a look on some of the stateside websites like pirate etc. Pretty sure that someone in the states makes a bolt on turbo kit, or supercharger kit for it.

There was a 2WD hilux with a turbo 3RZ in Zoom magazine last year, made huge numbers- brisbane based.

I dont want anything over the top. I did that with the last car.


Only reason i am considering is as i said i have the turbo sitting there as well as the intercooler. I think i may even have a computer that will work.
