Outer Limits 4x4 Board

has anyone put a turbo on a efi 4.5? anyone have any info? where to source parts? anyone that we've spoken to wont let you know anything if you want to do it yourself. seems they will only tell you if you want to hand over a couple of grand!!!

CAPA do superchargers? at around 10k installed i guess

Been thinking the same thing myself, things like the pros and cons of the different sized turboes would be good.

get a turbo matched to a 4.5 engine (xr6 Garrett GT35) good for power and prolly bout perfect size. get a turbo manifold made, dependng on quality can cost between $200 for a home steam pipe job to around $4000 for a custom made tuned length external wastegate and all that jaz ceramic or HPC coated. then its inlet hoses (can buy piping intercooler kits (2 donuts and a couple of straight and bend aluminium alloy) and then water or oil lines. after that drive it down to the local dyno place for a chip and tune (if possible) or just a new microtech etc.

its aint that hard

part ii was to search because i think damo or someone has done this and
was parting out all parts...IIRC

Safari do a turbo kit for the 4.5 litre.

ATS4x4 had a blue wagon with the safri turbo intercooler kit on it. Got better fuel economy than some diesels sometimes.
Sold it to someone from NSW who I think rolled it. The vid of it going over pops up every now and then.

I know of a toyota crown doing 10.0's with a cruiser engine and a massive hairdryer

Mule, Try contacting Darren at ATS4x4 Geelong, I'm pretty sure he had one years ago. Look up www.ats4x4.com.
Cheers
