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

Wait til you have to replace the starter!

 

Grabbed them off Ebay. All the way from Bulgaria. Took 10 days to get here. 22 bucks with shipping. I'll dig up the seller for you.boloromo is the seller.

 

Lol. What a stupid place.

 

Why is that? Hard to get to?

 

Lol yes. Extremely not fun

 

Under the intake manifold..I'm dreading when my sequoia needs a starter..its a job.

Just watched a video.....yuck lol the guy in the video was funny Kept saying "what a piece of crap" "what a bastard"

 

Another option is Powerbulbs. Not as cheap as ebay but they come out of the UK and have a regular website with a phone number you can call if there are issues. I got my bulbs from there.

 

Hahahaha don’t worry that’s just a lil mud that got flung in from sending it through some mud holes

 

Our last camp fire had been both long and too short. We'd metered out all of our remaining wood - making it last - until the flames on the last logs finally went out. That meant we were working on less sleep that normal as we set out west - spirits high that the trucks were running, a bit bummed for the events from the day before.

But it wouldn't be long before the trucks would be patched up and we'd be on the road again - that we knew for sure!

That depends.

Is under the intake manifold, inside the engine, a stupid place?

 

Mine is exactly the same....annoying AF!

 

Finished all this up today. All fluids in the truck are now fresh, feels good knowing the correct stuff is in there now.

This is just some of the sediment that was flushed out of the system. There was more left in the bottom of the drain bucket.

 

Results may vary with each setup, each tune and altitude.
Dyno Done today, Supercharger belt was slipping again, time for a new pulley again.
So will keep an eye on the boost and timing numbers going up and get a new pulley.

The porting of the supercharger has given the truck a nice extra kick. 18 more horses or so

Boost is about the same at 10 pounds maybe a bit lower showing that more air is going through with
the added power.

Horse power and torque numbers are both up by 18 or so.

Horse power and Torque numbers starts off at 10LB-FT higher than before porting at 2500 rpms.

Horse power was pretty much at a straight line 45 degrees up the graph before porting.

Now there is an extra power jump at 4000rpm on up on top of the added 10 horses from the start.

So it is worth it? Absolutely but probably not unless your doing a rebuild on your supercharger.

Wade the owner, the priceat thehighspeedlab.com is 295.00 for the inlet and outlet porting.

Supercharger is also probably 1/3 more loud now,
Advantages are
lower heat build up
More air flow
More advanced timing
All adding to more power and should help in the summer heat too.

I had to get it retuned because of the added airflow with the methonal and
moved up to the number 3 nozzle from the number 2 nozzel for added fuel.

It pulls like crazy from 4000rpms up the rpm range and torque starts at 2500rpms at the rear wheel is 265 LB-ft now from the porting.

 

Quick question for you guys. I know the driveshafts are different between a 97 Tacoma and a 97 4Runner but what about the actual slip yoke it self? Are their any differences between them? Both are manual

 

Should be the same basic design
