Turbo 2F with Multi-port Fuel Injection
By Jim Van de Ven
In a quest to squeeze more power out my FJ60, I began to explore many alternatives. This vehicle has been built for daily driving and expedition style wheeling and I did not want to detract from any of the positive characteristics of the grunty 2F. After building and tuning the throttle body fuel, injection on my FJ40, I was confident that a fuel injected FJ60 would be very nice. I also strongly considered a Cummins 6AT, and only decided against it due to the need to reliably start the engine in Minnesota winters without a plug in. Seeking a bit more of a unique project than just a fuel injected 2F, I began to explore turbocharging. I did quite of bit of reading, research, and flow calculations while I was designing the system. It turned out to be a combination of parts from many sources, with many custom fabricated parts as well.
The system uses a Garret turbo, multi-port fuel injection with timing control, custom tuned intake plenum, custom turbo header, intercooler, blow-off valve, and a surge fuel tank.
The specs of the system:
Garrett T3 60 trim, .63 A/R exhaust turbocharger from a Ford T-bird Turbocoupe that is oil and water cooled
Throttle plate from an early '90s GM Quad 4 engine.
Custom tuned intake plenum with 19.5" runners.
Custom exhaust turbo header built using pipe weld els.
Intercooler from a Volvo (Thanks Steve Fox)
ECM from a GMC Syclone/Typhoon (1227749)
1/2 gallon surge tank.
