OVTune 3.5L Tacoma Supercharger and Twin Turbo Systems

Yes. On mobile. Meant 35's.

Ha! Maybe I could get to 2000# with those 53's.

 

Where'd u get a bigger gas tank?

 

Long range automotive

Are those the Uber expensive ones from Australia? I thought that was the only one who made tanks so I assumed it was that one, but I didn't know any one that actually bought one.

 

Correct. They are imported. Long range automotive makes them in Australia, long range America is the US importer.

The price has dropped on them. I had them on order when they were an import only item and they were almost double the price. I ended up canceling after waiting a year. Now they are actually in the US already in a warehouse and priced better. I travel a lot and I stop for gas in the truck almost as much as I do on the motorcycle. Worth the money for me.

 

Sweet! Didn't see your other link haha.

 

Just got a shipping notice on my injectors. Not sure how accurate it is.

Just got the email that the first 6 showed today and they will be here on Friday.

 

My set of Mark 6’s just arrived a couple days ago from West Kendall Lexus to a friends place in Leander, Texas. She will be shipping them out to me tomorrow (Kendall Lexus wouldn’t ship to Canada). I won’t smile until I have them in my possession. Cobb turbo blankets and all heat sheathing, barrier, wraps etc just arrived from PTP so I think I’m ready to go once the kit arrives.


Pulled out the methanol kit out of my 2nd gen but still deciding whether or not to put it in the 3rd. Thinking 12-14 psi is sufficient and there’s no need to make another impractical truck.

 

Ya I talked to Bell Lexus yesterday and they said a week or two. Then I got shipping notice today followed by the email that said the first 6 of 18 were there and he was sending mine out today. I am actually pretty happy the order went through because I only paid 1600 for the set of mark 9s.

 

Finally the fuel system is all done. TAKE 2.
Props to @Torspd and some other 2nd Gen guys on paving the way.

Fittings and lines to convert to remote fuel filter



Ripped the stock in pump filter out and hard mounted the new pump


Soldered to the stock wiring, and installed a new flexible fuel feed


When you have to work by yourself..you improvise


Stock fuel line intercepted right out of the fuel tank and through stainless braided lines+AN


Mounted and easily accessible



Also converting the oil pan drains to AN fittings. -12 90° to -8


if anyone is planning on running a catch can, the JLT billet can fits perfect

 

I highly recommend a oil catch can to all, boosted or not. You’d be surprised how much gunk that would otherwise get recirculated. I see that you have the pump wiring figured out!
Good to know when the time comes - pink, yellow into red. Thanks for paving the way

 

I agree. A catch can even on a stock truck is surprisingly efficient. Let alone now with the new increased pressures. Also, fuel pump is YELLOW+PINK+BLUE —>RED. It was hiding back there.

 

Sneaky sneaky. Thanks for clarifying that

 

well done! Thats a total upgrade on the fuel system. How did you route your catch can? is it VTA from the cover or routed back somehow?

 

Very impressive.

Is there any concern about those 90* AN fittings and the crossmember?

 

Catch cans have proven benefits on turbocharged cars due to increased blow-by gases from the much higher air pressures. I recommend anyone adding boost to add a catch can. These trucks already see a good amount of blow-by from the lightweight oil, which hopefully will be rectified a little with the change to 5w30, but with boost it's going to increase. It's a good idea (just don't forget to empty it at every oil change).

My question Meso, what's going on with the breather side (from the passenger valve cover to pre-throttle body)? Is the turbo kit set up to run like stock with the breather pulling air into the crankcase from the (now boosted) intake pipe, or does it come with a filter to breathe from atmosphere?

....and hopefully this doesn't spark a huge "catch cans are a waste of money" debate....

 

In winter cold weather months- I can fill a catch can in 2 weeks. Just keep an eye on them, filling rate will vary per engine/ time of year/weather conditions
