1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I plan on doing not much rock crawling. But look at @turbodb trip thread. Pretty much what @eon_blue does and that's what I'm after. So SC is the better way I'd think. Cost is about the same to

 

Funny AF!

 

When time comes and you want a real bumper/bar to protect your vehicle from wildlife and bad drivers you will want the ARB front kangaroo bar. Prolly pictures in the front bumper thread to give you an idea

 

I was looking at stuff for turbo builds and it seems like you just have to suck it up and figure out how to get it running with a standalone ECU because getting a piggy back to work right is an endless PITA


In other news a 1UZ turbo build would probably require a standalone

 

yeah turbo parts are generally cheap because they're just parts not necessarily meant for any one application...the expense comes from getting them to work on your application and getting them to run right (tune). Unless you find a kit meant specifically for your ride but then it's gonna be $$$$$

 

In California they'll count your dick as a pole and tax you accordingly, if your dick exceeds maximum allowed length they'll tax you for illegal sword fishing, if your dick doesn't meet the length requirements California will tax you for poaching
California law: dick must be more than 1" to be one pole but less than 10" to be counted as 2 poles. (Yes California knows that doesn't make sense, no worries theyre gonna tax you for 3 poles anyway.)

 

Oh shit, now you're gonna get a food tax too. Your tax collector thanks you for your patronage.

 

The struggle is real yo(ta). Lol

 

Congrats man! Awesome!

 

I mean if you're already doing the work for a turbo build... you might as well do it to a 1UZ

 

LOL too true

 

if I'm gonna do all the work for a turbo build I maybe should just go with a LS and a fat tune

 

I like where the rationale is going

 

Save your money, turbo and tune. The SC is an old money theif

 

but I'd rather have the 1UZ


a UZ SC kit is only 6K https://bulletcars.com/superchargers/toyota/toyota-lexus/soarer-v8-ls400-uz31-uz32-celsior-crown/

 

10 AM: long hard talk with child about being responsible.
10 PM, drunk, nude, and dancing on top of a picnic table singing Dixie to a rap beat.

 

honestly with a NA UZ and gears my truck would rip compared to now anyways

 

I drove my friends GX470 recently and was instantly pissed off at how slow my truck is...

 

some stupid politicians here are trying to tax bottled water, saying it is a non essential to survival lol
is that common in CA?

 

It's not about rock crawling or not, it's about the RPM's the engine will be at in your intended use of the truck. I don't have a clue why anyone would install a turbo in a non race truck.
In around 1991 I drove a brand new Lotus Turbo Espirit. Slower than a 1972 Ford Pinto with an automatic trans before boost, once the RPM's kicked in it was actually pretty fun to drive.
