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

If you can find a blower. And again, weak rods. Thus why not many are boosted..

 

Yeah at that point I would just go LS. Bolt on parts that make more power and keep it na.

 

Bingo.

 

Lol yea I guess so. And Monte good point I didn't read your earlier post what of the 5.7L lol yes I'm crazy what of it

 

I mean...crazy is good haha

Its your truck and money. Do whatever the hell you want haha any v8 in a taco is cool

 

I was asking about the 5.7L in terms of mechanical I know it's kind of a gas hog lol

 

Oh the 5.7 iforce? That thing is amazing. 400ft/lbs of torque. Revs like no other v8 that big i've seen.

Be hard to fit that sucker in.

Plus you can still get a blower for those. Think if you boost it its 400hp and 600ft/lbs torque.

But yes, gas hog. Big motor though.

 

Lol 5.7 that's a whole different animal. They barely fit in the full sized tundra. Not impossible but kinda like the opposite of hotdog in a hallway. They are awesome motors. Auto I think is the only option you do have std mode tho. Good luck if you go that route.

 

4.7 connecting rods are notoriously weak, when adding forced induction.
In stock form they are ok.
There is an affordable upgrade that will handle up to 1000 hp.

and in the end, it's the only Toyota V8 to make it one million miles.

Everything can be solved with a grinder, welder and a torch or money

 

mostly money...lots and lots of it.

 

Hello Guys new to the club and still working on how to use this forum...but heres my Tacoma with a RTT and roll cage under the shell for ample support.

 

Welcome to TW and nice rig

 

Thanks man, I’ll check that when I get back. It might still be stuck the dash light went off so I assumed it wasn’t. Didn’t try to drive it though.

I’ve got a couple chocks on a trailer I’ll make sure to have those under and in gear when I crawl under it.

Edit: Just checked it, now it has tension. I guess enough of it unfroze to release.

 

Good news, got 4x4 control module, perform grey wire mod, tested e-locker. It works.

Bad news, I assume the the e-locker was still engaged and wasn't able to figure out gear ratio. Well it wasn't so now I'll really have to take it apart and count gears on the diff. That will be tomorrow.

 

what kind of truck did it come out of?

If it had a v6. It is 4.10. In fact im pretty certain all elockers are 4.10s

 

Remember, I drove to Mission, Tx. The border of Mexico is right around the corner there.

It came off of an 02 ext cab owner confirmed VIN to have a B03A.

 

Dang!! That is sooooo clean under there!!!!!!

 

4.10s then.

 

anyone have drawings for making a pair of rear bumper frame brackets (the l shapped piece to connect the bumper to the frame)
