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

Lies, no expensive noises to be heard unless theres a code, a buzzer, a bell or a fancy scangauge to TELL you it's happening.....

 

No tuning yet, stock URD map.

Before the 7th Inj was getting ping after the engine had been running for awhile and I stomped on the gas.

After the 7th Inj, no pinging that I've heard but I have a CEL. Pulling the code tomorrow and hoping it is a P0171 (lean mix) as I think the fix will be the URD fuel pump.

I live at 5k feet MSL and running 91 octane, btw.

 

Elevation might be a factor but personally I wouldn't bother with higher octane gas in a smog motor, todays compression in engines are geared/tuned to EPA & local state requirements, last "high compression" motor I had was a 455 out of a 71' GrandVille 10.5:1 & it had to have higher octane for pinging

 

You're supposed to run 91 octane only on boosted motors. Or higher.

 

Took it down to the topper place to have them reinstall it properly this time. First time with the lift and no topper on... figured it's a great time to picture wh0re.


Also realized I dislike the stock tail lights even more. Would love a pair of those Spyder Euro ones (black). I think that would complete the look of the truck. But no way I'm spending $200+ on tail lights. Not yet at least.

 

Test fit for my MTRs, man they look good.

 

Yar. That be the next to-do. From what I've read, the stock pump has problems up at redline, doing fine in the lower RPMs. A couple of the locals run it without, as the AT doesn't let them near redline and they've experienced no issues with fuel supply. For now, I just watch the RPMs, making sure I shift before 3k, although seems fine up to 4k.

 

Is there anyway to fit a GMC 471 on a 'yoda ??......

 

Looks good , the sliders look way better now btw

 

I've never gotten a code from it knocking . I mean its not like it always pings, but if it does, I won't throw a code or anything. Is it supposed to?

 

The knock sensor only senses above 2500 rpm from my understanding.

 

Will fit pretty nicely behind the rear glass, above the rear wheels, in what some kids these days like to call the "bed". Uhhh, have to do a smidge of modding to get it to work though.

 

Because that's the situation I have on my hands until I can get more time to install the pump that is sitting out in the garage waiting to be installed. It isn't so much a matter of cost, more of time.

I'm not sure where the 8psi number comes in. I thought the stock pulley was around 7 psi.

 

I was dealing with a bunch of pinging with the stock S/C and based on the work that BigFishAllDay had done, went with the injector first. I am where I am. Hope to get to finishing it out soon. Just going to have to take it easy and hope it holds together until then.

 

If I'm already in there doing new rotors and wheel bearings, how hard (and expensive) is it to do the Tundra brake mod off the top of your head?

 

I seem to recall it runs around $450 for the Tundra brake setup. That is with Napa calipers and Toyota rotors and pads.
