Turbo 100 series landcruiser, 4.5 petrol auto?

Post by physh »

Where can I find somewhere in Australia that can put a turbo kit on to a 2002 Landcruiser 4.5 auto?

I'm interested in having it dual fuel too.

Bit of a stretch - but anyone actually got one of these things?

Cheers

Haven't had it done, but I've found two options.

- AVO 4x4 http://www.avo4x4.com has what equates to the Safari kit approx $7500

- Found a place in Sydney that will install a supercharger kit straight onto it for $5000

I'm now running a Parnell VSI LPG system - electronically controlled vapour injection into each of the manifold runners.
Problem is... The regulator I have will not be able to supply enough LPG to fuel the engine when I boost it at all.

It's running nearly at capacity now.

My two paths are:
- looking into getting another regulator installed, so fuelling won't be a problem, just tuning
- Put a switchable supercharger (A/C clutch) on, so that when on LPG it does not use the supercharger - avoids leaning out under boost

Dunno, for the moment I've had other things to spend money on than a turbo or supercharger... but I'm still plotting...

I'd do it at a drop of a hat, but nearly everyone has said that you get about 300kms from the tank..........and thats a 150-200kms drop for me. Unless some people and tell me otherwise.

I have an auto 4.5 turbo intercooled 80, and depending on how you drive it, i get around 400-450 around town, and 500-550 on the hiway. Mike Vine turbo's at capalabah does them aswell, don't know his number, but it is in the yellow pages.
Redline is made for a reason!!

No worse than my current setup for some reason is getting 22L/100 of ULP (range 400km on main, 260 on sub, total 660km from 145L ULP) and 30L/100 of LPG (Range 240km from 72L).

Total range of 850-900km. That's driving like a granny too. :(

Maybe a turbo or S/C will HELP my economy!

I get that from the main tank, using premium unleaded. If you drive with a lead foot, which is mostly the reason for the turbo , consumption goes through the roof!!! but generally 400-450 around town driving normally. [/quote]
