Twin turbo 3.0

[fastpakr]

I curious to know what type of motor a 'supra engine' is.

Is that a manufacturer? or a certain design?

I've never heard of a supra engine.

He's talking about the Toyota Supra, which was sold here through 1999. The later models used the 2JZ-GTE engine, which is pretty popular in the import tuning world.

*sarcasm*

I know more about the 2JZ motor than I should.

Hard to be sure without the voice or the facial expressions.

jackass i got the info from a guy that spent 5k to twin his 98 ranger 3.0 and said it was a waste of time. told me to be smart and throw in a v-8 and turbo it. dont watch tv its useless all it does is make me non-productive.

your spewing shit you dont know. i have lots of experience on turbo charging and supercharging real engines like supra engines and 2000hp drag engines. worked at a shop building racing and blown street engines. go **** yourself.

joel (copykat) may be a jackass, but he's driving around a turbo'd rbv engine that he did himself.

you are driving around a stock truck with a bolt-on lift.

you need to do a little searching before spewing from your pie hole. evidence of his experience is all over this site.





and where is yours? pics? .................................................

Yeah I know, it's understandable.

My brother and I swapped one of those motors into a 78 280z a few years back, too bad it's sold now...

Given that you're 20, exactly how long did you work at this shop? And where is this place? I can't find ANY reference to them doing a search.

i worked for greg for 3 monthes till he closed the business down, he got screwed really bad from the people he had his business under, guess thats what happens when you try to be cheap. it was in 06 that i left. worked there to build an engine for my amc and he was an ignima type person so the alcoholic and i were the only people that would stay moren than a month. try palmdale ca i know he lives there and still does engines. not sure if he still uses the name. if your that into contacting the guy i will find him and give you his number. got nothing to hide.

Toyota Celica Supra, IIRC from the '80's and 90's. Good car.

No you spelled it wrong!

i did the info for a turbo on my ranger. smart enough to not waste a penny on my 3.0. if i was going to keep my ranger i would put a 5.0 and boost that engine. IMO i would not twin a 3.0 unless i wanted to push its buttons. i dont see what the point is of doing a complex twin turbo system on a 3.0 unless he wants more than 10psi. who the **** would leave stock pistons with that psi, stock injectors wont give the fuel, 3.0 tb is to small, and me personally would not trust stock rotating Assembly. and all the other shit i wrote down. if you would imo u are a jackass that wants a cooked engine. when i was in the info stage on my ranger i wanted a min of 10psi. i was told as i have said to make my engine perform than i had to do all the shit that i wrote down earlier. im the first to say when it comes to the little off ball engines im not the smartest, but with bb ford, chevy and dodge engines that people want blown with 1000hp and or alcohol ran, its nothing for me. it was what i learned on. supra engines i learned from owning three. If he wants to do a turbo and run 5psi max he wont need that much, just to fab it up.

and with my suspension im iffy with spending money on my truck since its a 3.0 auto and 7.5 rear end. i would rather build a 79 f150 or and old truck with a 400cid engine or bigger. rangers are bad ass trucks but the pre-running in a ranger dont float my boat. a bad ass ranger like wahlstom1 i would sport any day. and now that i have a cummins and making 750 a week if i decide to keep my ranger it will get a 5.0 and 4x4 conversion, 35's and other shit. just not gunu blow money into a suspension with a 3.0. that's why its bolt on and mainly stock. works for me right now and is extremely reliable.

if you guys want to keep arguing pm me and we will talk just leave this form for the guys 3.0 twin turbo help.

fastpakr. went to go get gregs number from a shop down the street from where we worked and i guess not a single person knows. he owed lots of people money and scat. if you really want to know call " adam's metallizing and grinding" in lancaster ca. 661-942-9538. they will tell you the same shit. hell if you can find this greg they prolly would give you money since they our owed by him.if you give me some time i can email you papers proving its not a bs shop made off the top of my head.

Oh PLEASE... Shut the **** up smart ass.
If He wants to twin turbo a 3.0 I don't care what's it to You.
He may want it only to show off.
To do this all he's got to do is accomplish that and SHOW IT OFF.
As for you... you just blow your show...
Let him accomplish his goal instead of critizising him.
Anybody can accomplish anything when they put their mind to it.
You just want to sell it... I bet he can build this project with TWO things You don't have...
PATIENCE.
A BRAIN.

Does anyone actually have any useful tech to give out to the original poster? If not, you can stop with the "mines bigger then yours" posts.

I was wondering if i could get any information on how to turbocharge my 3.0 liter in my ranger. any help would be apprectiated thanks

The single most important thing is engine management. I don't know what kind of tuners there are available for the 3.0. Megasquirt is always a viable option as long as you are dedicate a lot of time and a fair amount of money to the project. As far as Crankshafts, rods, cylinder heads, etc... Not necessary unless you are looking for inordinate amounts of power. I assume you are not.

In theory, turbocharging is very simple. You just have to run a bunch of plumbing. But then reality gets in the way. There isn't room for this part, or that part that I need just doesn't exist, or it costs your firstborn.

It's definitely possible, but the real question is what EXACTLY do you want and HOW BAD do you want it?

hmm, for dual turbos, forged internals are a must, and being the v6 has 2 manifolds on both sides ide run a custom built headers similar to the 2.3l I4 turbos setup, think it would look clean that way, and for the PCM a custom tune is gonna be needed or maybe you could run a mega-squirt setup. thats where i would start, see what the 4.0 guys are running for a compression ratio and see if you can memic that.

gonna need a new MAF senor to handle the new airflow, and new higher flow injectors, 225gph(?from mustang, fuel pump)
gonna take alot of trial and error to get the setup and tune just right
just some ideas

As most of the flaming and name calling seems to be out of the way I'll add my two cents. If you really want to go twin turbo then the turbos from a tercel should be about the right size, much bigger and you will never get them to spool. If you have reasonable fabrication skills you should be able to make most of the mundane stuff yourself, pipe work, manifolds etc. Engine management is another thing altogether and megasqiurt might be the easier way to go, you could even set it up to run speed density which negates the need for a maf. As long as you hold the boost down to around eight pounds I would think the internals would survive reasonably well. There are many other ways to get more power into your truck, v8 etc, but the hissing and popping that accompanies turbo installations is a form of entertainment that takes some beating. If you do it don't forget to post pictures.
