I need some teaching

Hey guys

Pretty new around here..Anyway I am coming from the diesel world..So I'm all about performance mods.

I am have been trying to read up on here and learn what can be done to these trucks..I'm at a lost pretty much..Gas motors are not my thing so bare with me.


Have a few questions

If you was going to do some performance mods..In what order would you do them...In example would you do headers before a cold air intake.

Tuning...I see pretty much no one makes a "chip" for these truck other then bully dog..Which I refuse to run,I've seen to many bad things done on diesels from bully dog.

So what kind of tunes can be bought for these truck? Or is it kinda like all computer work where you buy something and someone writes the tunes and you download it ? I'm just trying to wrap my head around this stuff...I've also seen some plug and play harness is that correct ?

 

Mountaineers!!!!

I gotcha..I still have a edge insight CTS from my last truck..Would there be any use in me keeping it ? I hooked it up today to see what all it would read and I didn't know what half of it was

 

I have been around on that sight..and noticed they have performance parts..Do they have a write up for tacoma parts ?

I like the looks of there intake system.

 

What else is to be done other then a SC intake headers anything else ?

I just can't see paying that amount of money for a SC and only getting that little amount more of horse power...I just know bigger turbos made me go a lot faster then 40 hp haha

 

Can always ask this guy about his motors and his truck

You can do s/c, intake, headers, y-pipe, catback, a few other things. Another site to check out is http://www.lceperformance.com/ although they deal with older Toyotas mostly they are coming out with more Tacoma parts

 

Didn't realize it was that much!!

Does the ECM have to be flashed after a install ?

 

Dam it man!!


I was flagging traffic one day and a guy pulled up in a first gen tacoma...Had stacks on it..It sounded mean,so I stopped and asked him..I said what's in this thing a diesel..He said yea a tractor motor...Only in WV.

It sounded awesome

I would like to have a little more power..I was kinda shocked how high rpms run at 80 MPH..Of course I've been in a diesel for the past 7 years.

 

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

Which year model is yours? If '05-'08, then you don't "have" to get the ecu reflashed, as long as you have a UCON from www.urdusa.com. If you don't have the money to spend on that, or you have an '09+, you'll have to get the reflash.

 

oh good God..

 

Yup^^^ lol

 

I like to go fast!!

Mine is a 2012 so looks like I'll need a flash then.

 

Yep. Toyota or a DIY. Welcome to our nightmare.
