turbo installation by HCI
 
I just want to share this issue of HCI (Hot Compact & Import) 's turbo set.
They rated the difficulty 8 out of 10. and the installation took them 8 hours.
They said" We think it would be best handled by a professional installation technician, but that depends upon your mechanical aptitude.
There is nothing terribly confusing, but it's a bit more complex than most bolt-ons."

O nice I'll have to go pick this issue up. I do see they put teflon on the oil lines...bad news for them.

toyotaracer9 01-18-2007 01:33 AM

six quarts of oil?

mattieg 01-18-2007 01:41 AM

Needs more beacause the turbo is going to have oil inside of it as well as the oil pan... but six quarts seems a bit much for the lines, turbo and oil pan.

pretty cool, good info for a DIY

toyotaracer9 01-18-2007 01:54 AM

cmon now the oil line isnt even a foot long and the turbo doesnt hold oil , the oil passes through it . so maybe a 1/4 of a cup extra .

i think the turbonetics instruction is more extensive

yamaha16bw 01-18-2007 02:33 AM

I still only use 4qrts. maybe a tad more.

menacejean 01-18-2007 02:39 AM

Stupid question I'm sure, but I'm assuming one would need more than just the turbo or things would start breaking correct?

Meaning...you would need a better clutch..things like that?

true stupidity spoken from a man who needs something more from his tC :)

yamaha16bw 01-18-2007 02:47 AM

Clutch and you should be good as far as breaking stuff.

And there is no way to get away with one of those in California right?

That was pretty cool. 26 steps. I too was confused with the 6 Quarts though.

cessblood 01-18-2007 03:08 PM

Nice!

yeah, when you get the kit it comes with a box of turbonetics oil. Which only comes in boxes of 6. Whoever reades this.....please dont put all 6 quarts in. :nails:

:rofl: :rofl: That's good to know. Are the instructions general to the point where it says just to fill with oil? Or did it say not to use all 6, just wondering how you came about this information.

trdtcpr 01-18-2007 07:02 PM

nice info!
