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

I dont have egr on my truck but it says vzn usa

 

Then your truck must have been sold outside of California. You have the 48 State/Federal emissions truck.

 

Yup, by 2001 cali and fed were merged, hence all the upgrades with A/F sensors and throttle bodies, multiple cats, it was cheaper than making two product lines

These are pretty easy to decipher btw

@Sperrunner has Sequential Fuel Injection, Air Fuel Ratio Sensor, Two three way catalytic converters, and a Heated O2 Sensor

 

Do it. You can, for sure. Just don't rush and you'll be fine. Let it take 3 days if you need to.

By the way, I have the writeup with pics and story I did in my adventure thread, and also put all the steps here, easily printable, for use as a checklist when you do the job - https://adventuretaco.com/step-by-s...r-3-4l-v6-5vzfe-also-4runner-tundra-and-t100/

The new belts go 100k, just so you know... Not 90k. Still not a bad idea to do it at the end of the year. Come up here and I'll help you; you can stay at our place. Or meet me at Zane's and we'll do it there at the same time I relocate my rear suspension .

And I'm over 15k already this year. All trips, it's awesome!

I think the benefit of the tools is that it makes the job easier for someone in Ben's position, and having them adds confidence in a job done right. At least, for me.

 

got to lkq... got a headrest. running boards were cut in half by some asshole.. whole front of the truck was cut off. nothing useable because people are assholes. oh well

 

i haven't driven mine in 2 years. I'm depressed about it.

 

That's LKQ they like to turn and burn shit.

 

Do you smell burning toast?

 

honestly all the junkyards around here suck. people treat the cars like shit. there was a 4runner with the elocker sitting there too. someone just cut the diff so they could take the pig... was a clean axle housing too

 

Wooooo

 

The days of cars sitting around the yard forever are over for a lot places. They need to turn inventory quick. These places have this shit figured out to a science of what sells and what can be sent to the crusher.

 

Finally wired my swapped in elocker!

HERE

 

Finally decided to actually mount my gauge...

 

How’s the rain?

 

Done now

 

What happens at 11 pounds of boost??

 

I kinda want one of those.

 

Naaaa knowing him he probably will run another boost gauge, two side by side,

 

Well hopefully I'll be at -6000ft or physics just shit the bed. I'll probably sell this gauge when turbo happens though

 

Boost gauge is a great way to monitor your power and supercharger limits.
