1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It’s still better than a Colorado

 

I need to get into these funny FB groups, I think my FB app only has marketplace

 

It still doesn't fix your truck

 

Puppo acquired, please wish me luck y'all

 

Goddamnit Nick.

You really don't get why someone would want to put an LM7 into a Tacoma? How about the fact that the first gen Tacomas are a perfect size. How about being able to double your horsepower with a few simple mods? Or that you can get better gas mileage with double the power. Oh and they are ridiculously reliable. Or what the fact that it's not your truck, it's not meant for you to understand? And further, can you tell me the parts you have to fabricate for dropping an LM7 into a Tacoma? Be specific since you know.

You baited me perfect into this one but c'mon guy, Dunning, meet Kruger.

 

Name?

 

I was hoping no one would ask lol @JKO1998 and he share a name, same spelling too. Everyone calls him Jax

 

Yeah dude; I fucking love me an LS swap.

I've always wanted to either buy or do a Monster Miata build, too bad my last one didn't blow up even with a Jackson Racing supercharger behind it

 

At least the X makes a sound

 

Maybe one day I'll complete the swap on my taco if I can find some resources to help keep it 4x4 and to add twin turbos. Figure some turbos with exhaust exits would solve the entire exhaust routing issue on the driver's side

 

Go rear mount turbo

 

Wait so jko is Jax-son? His dad is a dog? That actually makes sense.

 

No that doesn't help with how you get the exhaust between the steering, frame and trans. I know you can modify the steering linkage but even that I've seen the header needs massaged. I'm talking like this:

Frame is definitely a factor, and of course keeping 4x4 so yeah...but run the exhaust far enough and you can still go rear mount

STS has been doing it for many years

 

You could do a big single if you point the manifolds forward and do the exhaust crossover over the top or under the front of the engine

 

No I know what your saying, but basically the dream would be literally having no exhaust to deal with. Header straight to turbo. Flame thrower style. But hey that dreams far away, I'll probably just find a junk car to throw it in for the drag strip one day. Blah life sure got in the way of that dream huh?

 

Yeah, shit sucks for sure

Least you still have your Tacoma and a project to play with! Even if it isn't anytime soon

Building more models? I hope if the kiddo doesn't get into Lego's, he'll get into building models

 

Dad?

 

He better be into Legos, them things are the best. My dad never really liked video games much and isn't tech savvy, but man he loves Legos. It's one of the things we did together a lot.

 

I had like a 50 gallon tote full of legos in sold for $5 a pound for gas money
