StAndrew's Build

Paul I just had 15% of sliders

 

Ill have the money to you Monday or tonight. Not on my computer right now and forgot my paypal pw...

This guy...

 

New thermostat located: http://www.lceperformance.com/Thermostat-5VZ-180-Degree-p/1032075.htm - nvmd, lies. Stock thermostat is 180. I need the TRD 160 thermostat...

Monte, you are proving to be right... Every time I think Im coming to a close something new comes up...

 

wasting kidding haha i have been there i feel your pain..i can here the dollars flying out of your wallet and the soft sobs from you as you cry yourself to sleep haha

 

FIFY

TRD 1.3kg radiator cap, 170 degree thermostat, and manual boost controller ordered...

 

How much boost are you planning on running? Don't remember if you stated that earlier.

 

Not sure at this point. Im going to start with the standard 8psi. Its a pretty good sized turbo so I should get very close to 300+ hp just on that. We'll see after how I feel after running that for a while. I plan to get some 4.56 gears this summer so that just might be enough. We'll see.

Def not going over 350-400 with stock internals...

Update on OME Leafs, back ordered for ~1.5 months...

 

8psi i bet will be well over 300hp with that turbo haha probably closer to 400 if you tune it right.

 

I dont know if my injectors can do 400. It'll be close. Aux injectors are only 27lbs

So I started going through the kit and mapping out the install in my head.

Good news is the oil feed is not via a plate located between the block and oil filter. Bad news is the install instructions I got said to use a plate (and has a picture of said plate installed). The oil feed looks to come from the oil pressure sensor but there are no instructions on how to install so we're going to have to figure it out ourselves (I emailed CxRacing for updated instructions but not holding my breath. Not the best customer service, not because they are dicks, but very understaffed).

Other good news is they provide water feed pipes, I just need to purchase some hose and t-fittings.

Pics bellow with commentary:

First, skid plates are ready to mount. Ill have to drop the front axle to get the oil pan out for the drain line so these will have to wait.



Oil feed manifold for the oil pressure sensor??? I dont like guessing so CxRacing better have new install instructions coming out soon

All fitting are hand tight but no fitting for one of the holes (I guessing thats for the sensor) and the fitting marked with the arrow is pass through so Im guessing that threads into the block...


Here is the oil feed line and turbo attachments (I think they provide two in case you want to attach the oil feed on the side fitting but Im not sure. Not really sure what it could be for other than that ):



Pin hole (I was really worried the would screw this up but looks like they know what they are doing)


Second fitting? Large hole:

Small hole:


Oil drain line with turbo fitting and oil pan bung



Water feed pipes (I was so happy when I found these tonight ). They were not mentioned in the install instructions:



And more turbo pics just because. Hand is there for comparison. Its a good size snail





4" intake to 2.5" output


Hot side

 

www.partsgeek.com has OEM leafs for 100 bucks a pop

 

OME = Old Man Emu

 

If all goes well, I get to pick up the truck today

Time to do some ground troubleshooting



Also found some OME leafs in stock at wheelersoffroad.com so get a pair of those and canceled the Toytec order

My wife is going to kill me

 

Wow dude $369 for a pair of the cheapest leaf springs?? I just got mine in the mail yesterday and they are definitely original manufacturer equipment... $210 shipped.

 

He doesn't want OEM. Needs upgraded for lift/payload.

 

OEM =/= OME

OEM = Original Equip Manufacture

OME = Old Man Emu

obviously the OME is upgraded over OEM and is going to cost more

 

I just ordered some 27lb injectors. The ones that I got with my port fueler were supposedly 50lbs ev6. I think that was the reason why I had trouble tuning the mapecu3. It would be lean then when I added more fuel it would be too rich (afr were in the 9s and 10s). I couldn't get the right balance.

PM if you want to buy my injectors. I don't plan to go over 8 to 10 psi. So I won't needs these 50lbs.

 

Oops I thought that was a joke

 

Hmm... Can you send back the 27lbs? We can just do a swap

I'll think about buying the 50lbs but money is getting tight...

 

I think you might want to test both out first. So it's probably best to have both on hand. I didn't like the 50lbs but once I remove them I'll put them up on sale. You can be first in line if you want them. PM me and I'll give the price I was thinking of. Also I won't have time to remove them until about 2 or 3 weeks.
