What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Yes it runs fines. Seems to not be running as good as it used to but I swear it's that damn cat. And hopefully that's all it is. Gonna cut that ckskr out and replace the pcv valves and see where that gets me.. probably try to get a compression test done on it as well sometime.

 

Sounds like a good plan to me. Best of luck.

 

Put a can of seafoam threw the master cylinder vacume line. It will clean what ever oil got into the intake manifold and maybe help out with the cat.

 

Thanks.. I'll stay updated. Really not ready for a motor swap..not saying it hasn't crossed my mind. Probably get a built 2.7 from LCE and turbo it someday.

 

I liked it. Did they improve HP? Just a little bit. Nothing to brag about. There is some exhaust mods that need to be done with it depending on the year you have.

I no longer am going to use them because i'm now throwing in a 3.4L

 

^that may tell you if your cats are clogged too. If you don't get a ton of smoke it might be clogged, don't take that as fact though, that's just my guess.

 

I got a 2000 and thinking of doing the headers on it.

 

Seafoamed it a lil while back..didn't see much smoke at all. Cat was probably plugged then. Just think what it's like now.

 

Long travel on. Still Need some fiberglass, real bump stops, rear LT, new steering rack, get the lower controls arms powder coated- but it's coming along.

 

That thing looks pissed off. Has quite the profile going on. Looks great!

 

Dam. I smoked out the hole neighborhood.

 

And I just noticed that I must have parked my Taco at the spot closest to the camera at some point. Rusting sump welds FTL! It likes to mark its territory. My parking spot at work is so stained that everyone knows it's mine.

 

Those bumps will work fine. You'll get more up travel with them and if you get hydro bumps you'll won't use them to the full potential. At least on the front. I went with these.



Sorry about the shitty pic. My otter box takes a beating.

 

Thx for the tip

 

I'd say she's a little dirty.

 

Have you been using it as a wood burning stove lol? Cleaning that alone might help it run a bit better.

 

That's normal

 

LT guys run porche 930 boots on the inners, only make sure they will fit on a taco axle cuz LT use tundras. Not sure if they will fit up correct, but I know the porche boots solve the tearing problem

 

Is there supposed to be coolant coming out of this little nipple below the backside of the throttle body?

 

Yes that's normal
