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

Put these babies on today

 

Good!

Awesome! Thanks!

Looks good!

 

your an 04. You have two O2s. The URD simulator is for the rear O2. You still have one above where the Cat is. If you got rid of that..your motor will run like shit cause your ECU can't tell your AFRs then.

the Sim is just so you can delete the Cat and the rear 02 is for making sure the Cat is working right.

 

Damn. Do you happen to have the part number?

 

Am I gonna need the sim since I'm deleting the cats?

 

To what?? haha

No. Your gonna have a different setup completely.

 

The front o2 sensor?

 

Here i believe.

 

Thanks!

Still waiting on the money for the Eibachs and new leafs but this is a good start!

 

Oh ya, also dumped the exhaust after the axle to make room for the shackles. Sounds even better now IMO!

 

Wanna buy mine too while your at it?

 

soooo when cleaning my MAF sensor today I think I fucked up

below is pictured where the problem is where my finger is pointing, from the air filter box to the MAF sensor, well I was taking off the intake hose and the whole MAF sensor came off, at first I didn't think it was a problem until I went to put it back on and now its not staying back in the air filter box

so I ghetto rigged it and use the zip ties you see in the picture, don't worry its not that tight, just enough to keep the MAF sensor connected to the air filter box

did I go full DERP or what?

 

I should note I was planning on taking the whole air filter box to clean the MAF and the rest of it. so I started with the intake hose first and that's when it broke

just an FYI

 

So your finger is pointing to a separation between the air filter housing and MAF sensor housing that would occur if the zip ties were not in place?
If that is the case then I think there is a problem the only thing that should be removable is the MAF sensor itself.

 

yeah dude that shouldn't of come off. Sorry man.

 

Heck just drill like 8 holes on the box and the housing to zip tie it together and glue it together with sensor safe silicone sealant and fill the holes in as well. Good as new.

 

For what the motor costs, I would buy a new airbox

 

What is he cuts an air filter and zip ties that to the inside of the hose???
Kidding I'm Kidding, that is his best bet, they pop up from time to time especially on craigslist but brand new they are a little over 100 bones.
