has anyone here actually put a turbo or twin turbo on a stock 1.8 luv pickup i heard you can take a turbo off the isuzu impulse too ?

jus another ? in my head

i've sat for a long time thinking about that.
thats what i wanted to do so i could keep my 4 wheel drive.

i've heard it's possible but have never heard of anybody doing it.

as you can see in the picture below theres way much more to a turbo than you'd think ( atleast i did ). this is a 2 liter motor too. i've heard you could swap out the heads and it would work. you also gotta find a way to make the fuel injection work.

so my thought it would just be easier to swap out the whole motor.
i've looked everywhere and couldn't find nothin. let alone find a impulse that had turbo..




it would be sweet though wouldn't it i bet a luv would be nice with turbo and a good exhaust
if you do find a way let my ass in on the secret. i atleast want a turbo until i could afford a 350.

i have been researching on the net about it i found that you can make an electric turbo out of leaf blower or shop vac change with high volume oil pump and probably oil pan and i heard you should use stock cam dont know why they say it runs better

just seeing if anyone here has put a turbo in theirs yet

hey bcg if i accomplish this yes i will share with everyone

i've love to find a way of running a turbo/supercharger on my carbed pickup. a little bit more simplistic, but i can't seem to find anyone who makes any parts that would work on a toyota motor(outside of a 22RTE)

whoa dude check out this months hot rod magazine they got a section dedicated to turbo in your vehicle i bought it then later saw a section of it and was like score shows twin turbo small block 350 for all you runnin one good gains with twin turbo like 600hp plus you actually have to change a lot of parts though but more effecient way of gettin power read it

i had to throw this in. very nicely done
this is what i'm thinking of doing. it has fuel injection and a header.
i'd want to get this and drop in a 5 speed. i bet it'd cruise too

and there easy to find

nice the engines you say are easy to come by ehh! hmmm
well ill check into it, bout the leaf blower idea i dont think i ll do that leaf it up to some one else and i might be gettin 2 turbos for free not a sure deal yet

maybe I'll hook up my leaf blower and see if I can keep the leaves from accumulating in my vents

i looked and saw they had some junkyards with impulse turbo motors in them

I am designing a turbo set-up using a mitsubishi turbo. All I need to find is a side draft carb with abut the same cfm as a 32/36 weber. Any suggestions?

i think a 40 DCOE is the smallest side draft they make. not that much bigger than a 32/36 but might kick a little more ass with 2 of them

I am getting the engine rebuilt with a bigger cam and more compression before I finish the turbo setup, so more cfm might not be a bad thing. Thanks

alright grimace send us some pics of before and after and what kind of compression ratio you gonna have ?

Probably gonna run 8.5 or 9 to 1. I don't want to have it too radical, it is still a daily driver. It is gonna be lifted with a set of 33 inch boggers. I wanted more power in the mud, and this might be the answer.


WAAAAAAASSSSSSUUUUPPPPPPP BCG!!!!!!

dude that would be good for mud except more parts to break in the mud i was told to run stock compression

I had a 70 blazer with 18 inches of lift, a 400 horse 327, military axles, and 44 inch tires. 5.87 gears, and lockers at both ends too. I have built a couple of mudders before. Is stock compression more than 9 or less than 8.5? I am thinking of a turbo 2.0 out of an impulse.
