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

My uncle and cousin's live there. Well not my cousins any more. They were both beat cops. Now one os swat and the other is DEA. Its fucking cold

 

A few... right now I have an idle that surges.

 

Your stalling issue is probably attributed to where your blow off is in relation to the MAF. The ECU thinks its about to get x amount of air and then your throttle body closes and that x amount of air gets dumped to atmosphere. Meanwhile the ECU is still injecting the appropriate ratio of fuel to match x air. I used a hybrid recirculation valve, 75% gets fed back pre turbo, post MAF and the other 25% to atmosphere. 100% recirculated would cause to much turbulence and mess with the MAF because it is too close to the MAF.

 

Right now bov is about 10” from the throttle Body

 

Rusted in LCA bushing sleeves. I should have just stuck with the poly bushings instead of whitelines.

 

Right it's post maf though. So the engine is expecting air that isn't there anymore. This is why early maf turbo vehicles BOV were recirculating. As in they vented air back into the system.

 

And that's why I will never use them.

 

Anybody else with DT headers have not so straight flanges?

Also the crossover is VERY close to the block.

Ive tried refitting it and get similar results every time. The bolt on the flange shown isn’t as far seated as the other bolt and it’s super tight in there. The other one is fully seated with no threads left over.

I am still able to see a very slight amount of light through. This is with a light sitting on to of the flange and looking into the collector at the cat area.

 

Ditch the bov?

Never had a problem with my energys

 

Why no whitelines?? I havent changed mine yet. But so far so good. "Knock on my wood"

 

Where in Florida?

 

My Whiteline LCA bushings were a breeze to install. Old ones popped right out with a little heat & bottle jack... can image trucks in places like CA or desert will be easier.

 

Right!!!

 

i run no bov on my setup. but i just like the sound ahaha.

 

Not ideal but is possible. Increase wear on the turbo as you'll get turbo flutter.

 

Ordered a 7” SPAL pusher fan to install infront of my trans cooler. I was still getting around 230 when I was going up dirt grades in 4hi. Overall the trans poker has helped a lot with highway and city driving. Even mountain hwy grades.

mom also going to move the lines for the trans cooler to after the radiator instead of before.

 

I missed what trans cooler you went with?

I need to install my B&M 70268 and I'm still on the fence if I should use the radiator still for my transmission or not.

Where I'm moving it gets pretty hot during the summer; even now it'll reach 90's over there

 

I went with a Tru-cool
Long Tru-Cool LPD Transmission Oil Cooler 4454 18,000 GVW

Aphyni Long Tru-Cool LPD Transmission Oil Cooler 4454 18000 GVW

I realize you didn’t ask me but I did this and I went with a cooler and filter (separate components) from Derale Performance. I left the radiator cooler in place too. The order was, out of the trans to the factory rad cooler, out of that to my added cooler behind the grill, out of that into the filter I added, and out of that back into the transmission. Been this was for 3-4 years now. I change the filter every year or so. Zero issues.
