Turbo BS Thread

Good question, its cast so I assume aluminum, but I didn't try a magnet came out when I was trying to get the timing chain lined back up after letting a little too much slack fall down. I assume it's off a bank two sprocket

Doesn't really look like a tooth to me, they have square flat edges. Anything missing from the big chain sliders?

 

I'm starting to think I have given y'all the impression that I am doing literally anything the way I should be doing it... That's my bad, I suppose

 

Dunno how I missed this the first time, but it appears piston #6 has had better days. Looks like a small crack and a little contact with the counter weight, enough to prevent the full rotation of the crank... So the driver side head is coming off now.

 

Bent rod?

 

Has to be. Great find.

 

Interesting choice of words...

 

As opposed to, "Too bad you didn't find it sooner " Post mixed handful of broken pieces.

 

Selling a low mile Gt3076r. If interested dm me or check it out in the 1st Gen Tacoma parts for sale area.

 

I’ve got bad thoughts in my head and they won’t go

 

Are you planning to build an additional engine?

 

My new truck has the V6 so no swap, but go through it and resale. I bought lots of shiny tools the last time, no use in letting them sit.

 

There's actually an extended cab with powertrain yanked and left, front fender damaged for sale for like $1500 (EVERYTHING else intact). I'm thinking could put this in it, I've got a 4x4 trans sitting for a auto swap I never did. $2500 in I could make a penny.

 

I still want to see one of these with HIGH compression and forged internals, all engine.

 

Dude! Do it! Give it an over bore too!

 

I’d be curious if the old single vvti head would fit on the newer short block. I think I checked in the past and the short blocks are different part #s

 

The short blocks could be different though if they changed compression ratio. That would usually necessitate different pistons. But id almost bet the casting of the block is the same

 

That’s a great point. They did up the compression from 9.6:1 to 10.2:1 for the dual vvti, so maybe that’s why there are different part numbers. If the block is the same this would be a great option for a core to build. The dual vvti ones seem to be easier to find and cheaper than the older versions in the junk yards.

 

I was under the impression the blocks were the same, a "too late now" thought was put the head on my outgoing truck to get the dual VVTI. The guy already dropped the price to $150, holding out for $100 haha
