TRD S/C Install

Hello everyone!

I am located in Southern California - Ventura County area. (Camarillo mainly)

I have recently been doing quite a few different mods to my 02 taco all of which I enlisted the help of my godfather who was a heavy-duty mechanic for like 30 years.

I recently snagged an awesome deal on a TRD blower for my 5VZ-FE

I have been soliciting quotes from the local dealerships for installing it but I want to be part of the install... (dealerships are quoting around $1,100 and want to keep my truck for 4 days or so... not sure if that is decent pricing or not for this)

My godfather doesn't have much experience working on toyotas although I do have the install instructions and he offered to do it with me. I am trying to find out if there is someone in my area on this forum who is savvy with working on toyotas and would like to help or make a few extra bucks helping me do this. Or possibly if someone knows a cool shop semi-close that has this kind of experience who can do it quickly or wouldn't mind letting me help on the install.

I am also going to be installing a new fuel pump and bigger injectors (kit from URD) at the same time.

I guess I am looking for sugggestions or to see if anyone knows someone or a shop in the area.

Any input is much appreciated!

 

so it would be like 1 full days project or more?... considering the fact that I have an actual mechanic with me.

 

I disagree! If you are not mechanically inclined this is not a do-it-yourself job, I've installed 3 myself at work and it ended up taking at least a day and a half. This is something you need a tech to install and while I understand you wanting to be hands on no shop will let you participate (liability issues) and if someone does your more likely to hinder the progress than help.

 

ok - have you ever done the new fuel pump and larger injectors? if so: how is that install? URD says it comes w/ instructions as well.
