twin turbo 1gr 4lt v6

[lawsy]

Hi all. Im new to this site so would love any feedback. Just wondering I have two turbos off the diesel kn model that I want to put on my 1gr petrol. Is there places I can get manifolds from to make this an easy operation or is this something I will need to endeavor and get someone to fabricate. Would love if someone has some infoemation. Cheers. Oh and go the mighty lux!!!!!

Have you tried to do this? I would really like to make it happen. I already have the two turbos.

Haveing done a few engine conversions, i would say custom manifolds, exhaust, cooler, oil drains etc would be needed to make this work. What ever you get quoted for or budget on, double it!

Ok. then. i did do some research within turbo specialist in town and they said if it is possible the shear cost factor could just make it not worth it. clwn town seeing as though you have the same hilux year and series what sort of mods have you put on if any that gain better fuel economy plus power? and is it feasible to just have a single turbo on? or is it same troubles?

I havnt added anything performance wise yet, i am interested in a full 2.5" exhaust but depending on price i may or may not get it.

As for going a single turbo, being a v pattern engine a fabricator would need to join the manifolds on both sides for the single turbo (alot more calculations and fab work which would cost more) so if you were to go turbo i would stick with the twins. I would assume going a single would a little bit cheaper but not by much at all.
