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

You could do it by stacking a bunch of washers. I wouldn't want to build one myself cause of the importance of the driveshaft. But my welder has flux core wire and damn does it suck

 

Haha . you should have

Yea, shes a keeper. She was out there slammin vodka shots last time

 

Oh dam. I didn’t notice that. Umm yeah I see what your saying. But I don’t want to be the bear of bad news anymore.

 

How much of a drop you need?

 

OME works, that’s what I have, but you could always just put a few washers in there.

Or if there isn’t anything broken there really isn’t anything to fix.

 

You thought some one would do that for you? unless you have a speacialty shop, like a shop that does motor swaps around your, no one will touch that.

Way to much liability and also a major PITA.

So yes, you're gonna have to do it yourself. I wasn't kidding why I said that doing an engine swap is not a small feat.

And even if you find a shop to do it for you, it will be ridiculously expensive.

 

That said I charge a fee to make custom harnesses if I have all the materials.....

 

I know, but doesn't hurt to try lol. I'm actually having fun with the challenge. I was just hoping someone would do it just cause of the time.

it's not that hard cut wires to length attach them to some plugs and connect them to there spots lol. Hard part is getting the correct wire to the right spot. Can't put the O2 sensor to the thermostat now can I XD

 

It't hard to jam two completely different harnesses together correctly the first time though haha.

 

Well of course master Speedytech7 lol

 

Looks great! Did you also paint your flares to match the grill etc?

 

Timmy does some great vids. I was watching his vid on the timing belt the whole time I was doinv the timing belt/waterpump this passed weekend. Makes it nice that he tells all the torque specs, so I didn't have to keep going over to look at the service manual.

I had a tablet sitting on top of the intake, with Timmah on it, pretty much all weekend.

 

So new bypass valve installed and I got my scanguage to read AFRs. The bank 1 sensor 1 should be the sensor before the cats correct?

 

Yeah

 

You should really have a dedicated AFR gauge to read a real wide band O2 vs the OEM narrow bands.

 

Well.. it's showing between 15 and 16 at idle. I don't like that.

 

That's coming soon enough lol.

 

I did. I painted them a while back and decided I was going to do the rest. I think I'm going to get the rest of the badges next.

 

I agree a dedicated is a good investment either way. But he has an 02 so he does have an OEM Wideband, though probably not as insanely accurate as an Innovate unit or an AEM

 

The scanguage was going in regardless. I'm getting a three gauge column for the left. Boost, AFR, an tranny temp.
