Rear mount turbocharged 5vz

[Clownmeat]

Got the hole cut and finished the exhaust.

Been driving it everyday for about a month now turbocharged, went wheeling three times and no problems so far.

Really interested in doing this to my 01 DC haha. Nice build

[Clownmeat]

Bored and wanted to see what it would do for boost without rolling and not spinning a tire so I did this.

Wanting to make this auto trans manual shift, sick of the kickdown/passing gear shit, maybe paddle shift.

[Clownmeat]

Decided to make it manually shifted with paddles.

Cool rig. Most of the people that knock rear mounted turbos have never run one. I built a rear mount setup for my DD V8 Dakota over a year ago and I really like it. 110hp and 140tq over stock, and makes boost pretty low in the revs. I will say my setup has a lot more $$$ in it though.

Whats the reliability of these 5VZ's when under boost anyway? Cool project, very interesting. Do you plan on getting it in the rocks much or mainly trail riding like in the videos you posted?

They last forever, they factory/TRD supercharge them. Always in the rocks.

cool idea with the paddles. is that a kit, like strictly plug, and play of do you have to do some custom work? i wanna see a video of them in action.

[Clownmeat]

It is entirely homemade, including the controller that still needs to be built that will look something like this.

rear mount turbo is awesome! your almost always spooled and there is little to no lag. you can also run a little more boost because you have more charge pipe to work with versus your normal under hood setup. i know someone who did it on his 89 pickup and his numbers were off the hook. he went from 156 hp to just under 300 running a gt2871r and 9psi. rear mount is seriously the way to go. just make sure to get a turbo wrap and build some sort of skid plate for it and your golden.

After all the turbo projects I've done, helped with, and seen, either way I don't care anymore. Boost is boost and I love it, should be mandatory.

They hold up great. You can beat the crap out of them, tune them poorly, and run them hard and they don't blow up. I'm running 12.5psi into mine with the TRD supercharger and only water/meth injection, no tuning. It's been that way for 3-4 years now without a hiccup.

what kind of power gains are you guys seeing? im picking up a tacoma next week and this is a setup im interested in, i believe mine has the 2rz but still its a good setup to run

[Clownmeat]

Generally 10hp for every 1psi of boost, results may vary.

Loving the sound of that in the video!

So, with the paddles will you be doing any tranny adjustments to go with it- like making it full manual valvebody?

rad designs has the shifter already if your interesting in cheking it out

With the paddles it will be fully manual, it will bypass the computer.

Yeah, almost got one then decided to try paddles.

I own that book, its a good base but somewhat out of date. people always spout off to read it when someone is asking or doing something wierd turbo related. it is a good book for a total beginner to understand the basics of turbocharging but I would not at all consider it some kind of bible. what is really going to dictate how well a turbo setup is put together is how the builder understands each particular part and how they work together in the complete setup. IE knowing the particular motor and what it can take, routing the plumbing around their constraints, how to tune the engine management or carb/ignition, etc. you cannot read corky bell and immediately know how to turbo anything.
of course rear mounts are not the ultimate in efficiency but they do have their place, several benefits and are kind of out of the box cool imho.

So looking for ideas, suggestions, thoughts, placement, materials?

Maybe something like one of these, idk.

Couple options: My intake is under the dash. You could also go up under the passenger rear seat where the stock jack is located for some air.
