TORSPD: NEVR

Not much new going on. Minus missing half of TX2K14.

Checked my fuel pressure the other day, after thinking about some performance issue. Or the basic lack there of, up top.

I don't have a gauge normally attached to the FPR. When I installed it, I used the gauge to set it where it needed to be. Then I installed the sensor in its place. So when I hooked the gauge back up to it, I noticed something which confirmed my suspicions.



At some time in the past, one of the shops that had worked on my truck, turned up the fuel pressure. Which makes perfect sense as to why I was low on high rpm power, why my exhaust smelled so rich, why I was burning fuel, why my AFR's were in the 9's, and why my oil felt very thin and washed (at the last time that I changed it)

Corrected it, and it has picked up quite a bit of zoom zoom.



Also got a decent deal of a price on some Nitto NT05's for the next track day. So stoked to get those on and see how they handle!

 

those are great tires but don't expect tons of milage out of em

 

So you dropped the fuel pressure by about 10psi right?

 

afr's in the 9's , woof!

 

Track tires.

Correct. Was around 51 - 52 psi. Dropped it down to about 43 psi. Where it should be.

Yeah. Sooty woof! Soot practically dripped out of the exhaust. Lol

 

pppssh i daily em in the summer

 

definitely had a nice exhaust smell. especially when it was just idling in the garage for 10 minutes

 

He just wants to piss off c.a.r.b...lol

 

Don't we all

 

Burn your eyes and choke you out, all in the name of performance.

Need a sticker of Calvin pissing on C.A.R.B......

Thank you sir! If you have questions about what to build, let post up in here.

 

He just broke TW.

 

I cant wait till I am not making penny's on the dollar so I can afford to do shit like this.

 

That looks like the covers that they put on the marinized Vortecs

 

Not a fan of the turbos...... Well done, but dragging only.

I am very curious the power that it is producing though. The even put the Corvette seats into the truck. Spent a lot of time on that conversion. I'd like to see some more videos of it. Been out for what, 3 - 4 months now?

We'll see how mine stacks up once the engine is back.

Thehe list of drivers per class is up. Going to be packed out there!

 

Thanks to Lucario Runner for finding this video.

racetruck ftw

 

Here are a few pictures from the March MSR Houston - Race for Charity event, which I forgot to add earlier.















Race - UV in the pack!

One of the little things that makes modding, and the friendships gained from modding, so worth it.

 

During Clifford's turbo install, I donated my turbo manifold bolts to his build, since his were missing. Among other things..... It was the perfect time to upgrade to the ones that I have wanted for some time. Here is his thread - http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-builds/200243-x-runner-build.html

Titanium bolts and nuts. Grade 8 equivalent.




Annnnnnnnnndddddddddd after way too long a wait, I finally have a few more pictures from Darton.

The fabled Kelford cams!









I should also add, that a new set of dual valve springs (SuperTech) was ordered because the original set, from when LCEngineering originally built this engine, was binding when the valves were at full open. New SuperTech springs are in and work as intended. All of the intake bucket shims lashed out perfectly in spec, but a few of the exhaust bucket shims were out of tolerance. Those were ordered and will be in soon.

Here are the specs of my camshafts, for a point of reference:

Kelford Camshafts Stage 2 Turbo cams.

Total duration 265 intake, 270 exhaust.
Duration at 1mm valve lift, 225 inlet, 231 exhaust.
Total valve lift with lash set, 10.55mm inlet, 10.75mm exhaust.

The OEM total durations are 232 intake, and 236 exhaust.

 

I honestly don't know what all of that means but I'm excited for you regardless.
