- what would be the best kit to go with and should i go an intercooler?Intercooler is good but a lot of work to fit. I would leave that till later and concentrate on things like a bigger exhaust first.

mate get on toyota surf forum and buy a CT20 of a surf.

Cost you probably a couple of hundred complete bolt up (you fit)

Do it right the first time and put a good kit on it don't be botherd with a ct20 now thta being said i've only driven on with this fitted and i reckon mine which has extractors fitted would blow it away just put a DTS kit on a mates picked it up for 1200 bucks 2nd hand slaped it on and it boggies (as much as a 2.8 can) think there just over 3G fitted and dyno tuned

This is the cheapest way to do it and you will get decent improvement. But an after market kit designed for the 2.8 will go a lot better.

And Sic Lux i have driven a few 2.8s with the CT20 on them and heaps of 2.8s with extractors and there is just no comparison. The 2.8 with a CT20 will kill any 2.8 non turbo. Then its always possible the one you drove had major problems.

yeh i dont think my 2.8 with extractors has got anything on a turbo hilux no wmatter how crappy the turbo may be. if i do it think i might do it right the first time and put a new system on without the intercooler (maybe a future mod)

- wat exhust system would you guys reccomend? i have a 2" exhust now but id assume that id need 2 1/4-2.5inch?

cheers guys

Thats why i said that i've only driven that one and yeah thats the first thing i thought when i drove it that it has major dramas. Drove it and thought it was stock lifted the bonnet and seen it had the turbo there tight arses that own it so that explains alot

Hi. Turbotech fitted a Denco kit to my 2.8 (done by previous owner) and the quality is great. Goes well too. Located in Ascot according to receipt.

Whats so bad about holding off for a month and getting what you really want.

Posted: **Tue Mar 20, 2007 7:57 pm**

Well... i reckon its good but it's a rebuilt engine with turbo pistons etc so no reliability issues.. I'm happy with it pushing 35's.

It's either 2K for a bought full aftermarket kit, much less for a surf setup, or wait til you can afford a 1UZ conversion at around 5-6K with more grunt.. and they sound pretty good.. go where the heart tells you.

Posted: **Tue Mar 20, 2007 9:23 pm**

5-6k is pretty cheap for a a 1uz i thought it was more around 8-10k?? thats the thing stool not sure what i really want. if i go the turbo route i will be getting 35's and a fornt or rear air locker not long after hopefully. 35's will just be the weekend warrior wheels.

diesel handle the watre better then then the petrol engine. imkind aleaning towards the turbo ad it cheaper and more convienient.

Dust water vibraions and computor only sould like trouble to me stay the diesel efi is great on street cars but they still play up not just the ecu but coroded terminals/conectors are they main things that play up add water and dirt to that and i can see it not being to good when it does play up.
But hey i only play with the stuff all day

Im trying to get my grubby little mitts on a price for a 1KD-FTE....

Posted: **Fri Mar 23, 2007 10:10 pm**

siclux thats kinda why i decided not to go the v8 path. well nextr week ill be doing a call around and hopefully getting the turbo and intercooler organised. still nopt to sure on what brand to go?

Posted: **Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:04 am**

i know that the dts kits run a mitsy turbo but garret and a few others are all good brands just depends on personal preferance and what experinces people have had with them

Posted: **Sun Mar 25, 2007 3:51 pm**

Ring Bill at Turbo tech for a price. With turbo tech they will set your car up properly on the dyno and the 2.8 responds really well to a turbo not only power wise but normally better fuel economy as well. Mind you they are pretty busy. The Denco kit comes with a schwitzer turbo and is a good kit for the price. The Axt has a garret turbo but all the ducting isn't as neat.

I ran a schwiter turbo on mine @ 10psi and mine was quick enough for a 2.8.

You couold run them @15psi but thats where it will get scary for your bottom end. 12psi is the max I would boost a 2.8 too. 10psi is safe reliable and I got around 650km out of a tank on highway.

But still the cheapest and still a great option is the CT20 from a surf. Only reason I got a schwitzer was I got it at the same price I could get a CT20.

It depends on how much you want to spend. I personally cant see the extra $$$ in an aftermarket kit compared to a cheap CT20. But thats my opinion.

cheers guys! thin k im going to for a denco kit ive seen a few pics and they look like a neat kit. i was in perth on the weekend and i went past were turbo tech was they wernt there musta moved. will give em a ring this week and get the ball rolling. no real rush but the sooner the better
