StAndrew's Build

Awkward view to say the least, figured it would be a second gen on the truck!

 

Hahaha, it was a bit awkward watching a Toyota get towed...

 

Got the truck back. Additional $340 to fix (came out of my dyno tuning fund, probably going to delay the build...). Guy who did the shift kit not taking responsibility; lesson learned.

Today did some work on the injectors/URD Port Fueler. Came for the previous owner wired already, however not very well. Im not going to say what it looked like, but it rhymes with smis-mortion.

Started with cleaning the injectors and port fueler (lots of grime/dirt) and finished with wiring the injectors.

Everything cut up and ready for new wiring (no pics or original wiring, camera was still charging when I started. It was basically a lot of electrical tape and rats nest of wires):



Wiring complete. I hate soldering and heatshrinking. I usually f it up but this time everything went ok.



Ready for install (plastic wrap to keep the ports clean):

 

Very nice!

 

Thanks man. Gonna need some of your expertise on the ECU harness though. Not sure exactly how Im going to tap into those wires yet...

 

I have plenty of ideas, just need to look over the schematic and decide what to use. I have plenty of wire,splices and heat shrink and the manuals.

 

Ok, not much time for me to get this done... I going to return and order the wired Boomslang Fab plug n play for this to get the build moving again . Just too much going on right now with work and family.

 

Nice build I can't wait to see a video of this thing. Who did you have do your VB?

 

Some guy from the Tundra forums (spoolin)... Not recommended, get the IPT kit.

For those following, still working out the AEM FIC wiring/tuning. Today got the IC bracket worked out. I knew this was going to be a slow build, but damn...

 

Welcome to boosting a NA motor..haha gonna cost twice as much as planned too

 

Haha, well I planed it pretty good I think. Except for the shop fees for the transmission abortion I had (which came out of the "tuning" funds), Im still under budget. Just the wiring and finding time.

Tomorrow I need to get an inspection done and if I pass, Ill probably a: replace the fuel pump, or b: start measuring the IC mounting to see where Im going to need to cut for the piping.


What do you guys think about the Cherry Bomb Glasspack muffler?

 

Sub'd! Been looking at doing this for a bit. I'm in a bit of a different boat though, mine's a '95 so not sure what I'd have to do with ECU.

Will be interested in your thoughts on the fit of the CX kit.

 

swap it to a 97 ecu..done.

 

Def will have a in depthreview on the kit and fitment. Heard that the cross over pipe doesnt alwaysfit/match. Not sure why not; it has a flex hose in the middle. Measurementswill have to be WAY off for it to not fit right I would think.

The stock IC is HUGE anda rock hazard for offroaders:


My "MSPaint" rendition:



I needed to mod the mounting bracket to fit the IC i picked (same length but much shorter). The original intercoolerhad screw holes on the side and the new IC has holes on the bottom. I flipped the original bracket over to stick up instead of down, then bent downthe mounting bar 90 degrees and re drilled two holes to match the new IC mounting. Goingto mount something like this (MSPaint FTMFW):

Im at work but will get thebracket pic up this afternoon for a better visual.

 

so bye bye aftermarket bumpers too then. was wondering how they fit the IC on there.. cool.

 

Probably... Im very creative though, we'll see if I can't fit something

 

if i was to do it id get a super small one to fit behind the gril and satoshi it. Take more creative piping but..could work

 

I did the Satoshi conversion and I thought about it...





Still thinking...

This is about how it will be mounted, just a bit wider, and mounted about 1-2in higher with the step-up.





You dont think Ill be able to fit a front bumper?

 

hmmm...looks tight..i think it would hit the winch mount plate area of the bumper though..
