1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Many supercharged 80 owners would say yes but they've also sunk lots of money into alternative fueling, methods of cooling the boost, cooling system upgrades, etc. That air to water intercooler certainly makes it a lot more enticing. But anybody with the Whits end turbo kit will tell you that the supercharger ain't shit. And they'd be correct. The supercharger as usual for Toyota is a little too small and tends to create more heat than it does usable boost. It certainly more lively with the supercharger but with how much these rigs drink I'd want a lot more if I have to start running premium. Keep in mind the best gas mileage you can hope to get is in the 14s on a naturally aspirated Land Cruiser.

 

That’s a weekly thing for us.

 

14 isn't bad considering a lot of Taco owners here are at that same mpg.

 

I’ve been pleasantly surprised to see my mpg jump up to 19 from 18.5 so far.

that’s race trucking up the mountain and bouncing down two tracks too. Highway should be cool

 

My tacomas have always pleased me MPG wise. The LC is consistent at least 13-14 if you're not driving like a total asshole. But the taco has a wider range and rewards you for being soft on the pedal and for having a manual haha. This one was pretty regular for highway at 21mpg

 

It’s been stuck at 18.5 since I got the UG.



funny how running a set of health valves and plugs changes things.


Just in time for 33’s to ruin it

Thank you again; came in time only to find out I'm heading out of town to her cousin's going away.

Good thing I ordered the gasket.

Shoot you a PM in a bit

 

The flatbed was messed up bad by that Firestone. Power steering reservoir is empty, wheel and suspension has ATF spray everywhere, rack boot is ripped. Reservoir was full Sunday night when I filled the truck up. I had them redo the alignment Tuesday.

Why Firestone after my previous bad experiences at another location? It’s 1 mile from my house and easy to drop a truck off at on foot.

 

this is why im glad i have an alignment rack at work..

 

At that rate you may as well just knock it out with a tape measure. What a pain.

 

I’m done. That’s like 2/20 for good alignments in this town and 50% of the time they break or damage something. Don’t even get me started about off center steering wheels.

I have a flat driveway so I can try the black magic driveway alignment myself next. If I can’t figure that out I’ll just need to get my alignments done out of town.

 

Learn the string method.. itll get it close enough to get to a shop
