Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi im looking at getting an 89 lux, the guy bought it because it had a really good motor (260k, read good condition, running well) and then has fitted a 2.4 turbo to it. he has offered to have the vehicle dyno tuned before i buy it as it has not been tuned since the turbo was fitted - this was his offer as he said he didnt want to sell a car which might be running on a bad mixture. since he put the turbo on he has bought a much newer car and not finished this project or registered it yet.

the car seems to be in great condition, but im a little concerned about the turbo situation - as long as it comes home from the dyno running well could i assume its ok?

are there any inherant problems fom fitting the toyota 2.4 turbo to the 2.8 engine - im told its a common conversion.

I basically want a cheap work horse.

Thanks

yea mate i had the same setup on my lux and i was running 14psi boost i had no drama's with it but i wouldn't advise u to run it with that about of boost for too long

I get the impression 8psi is a more normal boost pressure. does that sound right?

yea it's either 7 or 9 psi boost they run standard

I run 10psi in mine and make 78kw at the wheels. Which I'm pretty happy with seaming they are 33 inch tyres which would take a bit of power away from the reading.

I have 96 2.8 with 2.4 surf turbo, runs 10psi with 35's and my mates denco turbo kit designed for the 2.8 cant even come close to keeping up with me.

How Hard is it to increase the boost? I havent owned a turbo for some time, any pictures showing where to fiddle would be great.
