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

always just best to hit them with a power washer after a trip.

 

what do you suggest then?
cuz I don't live in a desert and it rains.... a lot here.

 

Last time i took my tranny out, it ended up in a weird night. Iykwim

 

Scroll down a little for picture.

I have list of all components on this page.

You're getting a supercharger yeah? If you do no fueling mods, spoiler alert, it'll lean out by default haha. But just to answer your question, you could use the relay to cut signal to the igniter module I suppose. That would create the desired effect of cutting ignition.

 

Had any issues with rocks or anything hitting it? Kinda exposed right there is my only concern

 

I just measured the roof tracks distance to the prinsu when I was leveling that. I used the window frame as a reference since that’s really the only straight line on the thing. Since the prinsu is planar, I could then measure the distance in the center from the prinsu to the top of the cap. So then I had the side profile and the front/back profile which was all I needed. It’s not perfect, but close enough for the spacers to work.

 

People have voiced there concern about that, but I have never had an issue. I had thought of putting a rubber flap as a shield, but haven't gotten around to it.

 

No, it’s had a supercharger since it was new. Dealer install for the first owner, so it’s been roughly 265k miles. I’m finally taking the time to really rebuild it along with adding the needed mods for the fueling.

This innovative psb-1 gauge has a powersafe feature where it’ll cut boost if the engine leans out. It hooks into an electronic solenoid but I believe our superchargers are all mechanical/vacuum, correct?

Honestly, it’s not a feature I’m too worried about. Less wiring I have to run, just something I was interested in knows my for knowing sake.

 

Nothing. Clean the dirt off of them regularly.

I get two seasons out of a set of uniballs. #racetruckparts

 

Those are just the breathers. Transmission/tcase has one on top, similar to the rear diff. And then of course the front diff in the driver wheel well of the engine compartment.

 

Correct, unless you do some mods to give it a feature like this:

If running WOT and high RPM, it won't totally kill boost, but lower it substantially. Or something more dramatic like cutting the ignition out like the other reply.

Simplest thing is to just wire it to a dummy light/LED to let you know to get off of it.

 

That gasket that mounts the shifter turret is prone to such leaks, mine does too. Also the breather is right near the turret, you can see it with the boots removed

 

Mine leaks a good bit too. The one that is concerning is the t-case. Mine somehow manages to explode through the shifter turret boot (the third boot down, you know the one know one remembers exists)

Finally got the silicone vacuum hoses on. I need to spend more time with the 1st gen (aka install the rest of the parts I've been holding off) as My recent 2nd gen Tunda has taken some of my attention away, but
I'm really digging the blue.

 

Looks good, where’d you get them?

 

Thanks Jon.

I got them from siliconeintakes.com

Some info here:

Permanently mounted the antennas (drilled holes), installed a new radio and headlight bulbs, ran the gps cable


any ideas on where to mount the mic holder thing

 

If you're like most people, that passenger airbag C/O switch never gets used. You could mount over it. Leave it in place but just cover it up.

 

Is there a blank for that?
