1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Welp, so much for that experiment. Pretty sure these pulleys arent meant to be stuffed with new bearings (or im bad at it). Within 5 minutes of idling it walked out and started eating into the washer.

Come to think of it, when i did this on the taco, that one was held in via snap ring. This press in only setup is for sure cheaper. I wonder what the setup is on a same year toyota engine overseas.

 

what’re ya playing?

 

do you or the gf do tig? could try again and put a couple tacks on it to hold it in place

 

I like the way you think . Unfortunately neither of us do.

 

have you checked out the new Indiana Jones game? it's pretty fun lol

 

Popped in a dorman one from ohohohohreilly. No name on the bearing

 

Ghost of Tsushima on PC

Released a few months ago but finally bought it cause it went on sale (came out on Playstation long before that but was recently ported over).

Digging the storyline, but the environment is absolutely beautiful

 

You're playing it?

I read a lot of good things so it's definitely on the list to buy!

When on sale of course lol

 

I mean I don’t really have a need but I am apparently kinda a part collector… I bought a spare transmission, transfer case and front diff from a local member just because they were cheap. PM me some details, maybe I can build another 1st gen from scraps

If nothing else let’s grab a beer when you are down here!

 

@Kwikvette did you ever build a C6

 

i have the xbox live pass, so I got to check it out without forking out lol. Not sure I would have picked it up at full price but it's been a good low energy game

 

god speed !

 

Naw, I kept it stock

But I also barely drove it considering I bought it brand new and sold it to CarMax with about 64k miles on it

It was plenty fun being stock since it was an LS3

 

Nice. Yeah my friend has a fairly built one, he’s ran into a cam/crank correlation code he can’t get any shop to touch it with his tune and everything, was curious if you’d ever seen that. I imagine it’s got something to do with shit that’s been done to it tho


Truck did some truck things today pushing his wagoner into the garage. Love this thing, my dad used to have one
Going to be sweet when it’s running

 

Badging on the side, it's a real Z?

Don't hear of many people swapping cams on those as they're good out of the box for a turbo already.

 

Yeah it’s a real z. It’s na, but the motors been fully built, cams, pistons, head, crank, injectors pump etc etc. it’s just been endless problems for him though

 

Should part it out, and sell you his motor so you can LS swap the taco

 

Could you imagine
Not that a single component in my drive train could handle that

 

You'd be surprised what they can hold up to. The R series transmissions are good well into the 600 horsepower range. The front diff and transfer case are the weakest points really. Also if you go down to a 8-in Toyota rear end like the E-Locker those are weaker than the 8.4. but still a basic 5.3 LS with a camshaft and a mild port job on the heads is going to make roughly 400 to the crank, I already know they can handle that just fine because I'm over that to the wheels.

 

That's the least of your worries, you'd need driver mod first
