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

oh yea. No doubt. Mine is literally plugged with rocks and dirt. haha Air box is always dry though..somehow. I'll have to try that out this summer.

 

Yeah my goal is to try to re-use that stock turn coming out of the box but then go PVC after to not have to do the weird corner cutting he had to.



Going to try to cut halfway at second extension. Thanks @Ice Horse for the pic.

 

Yea if you can mate PVC to the normal extension tube that's how id go about it as the end of the elbow is not round. Not even close haha

Plus the stock tube has a support bracket.

 

Did you go with the lce kit? I'm looking at this for my next mod. Driving above 8000ft all the time is slow and I feel like I'm putting a lot of strain on the motor driving basically having it pinned before I can shift to the next gear.

 

Give the little 4 banger some credit. It is happy to sing at 3500,4500 RPM all day, I keep it up that high going up passes in 3rd gear for long stretches. They really are happy to rev out

 

Air craft ducting will make that 1000x easier to mate the elbow to pvc. Ive seen it on a local 2nd gen with a homemade snorkel. Definitely recommend it!

 

It has definitely impressed me for what it is but when I can barely hold 3rd at wot it's time for some more power. Below 5000ft it's not bad but above that 5th basically becomes obsolete unless on a downhill. The altitude is what really sucks the life out of it.

Anyone have the LCE header on the 3rz? Adding that first since my exhaust is starting to fall apart.

 

I'll let you all know how these work

 

I do, it's a solid piece for sure. Ingot it instead of the mini header because my exhaust was rotting away as well

 

Was there any noticeable power gain?

 

Let me make sure it didn't get wet from the snow. Ill check later tonight.

If it is intact, $5+ shipping?

 

Been awhile since I've been on here, so sorry if this has been asked already.
I'm waiting on the Allpro expo leaf pack. It keeps getting delayed every month. Due to manufacture fuck ups.
My question to the guys that already have them. Is it worth the wait? Or should I just pull my money out and go a different route?
Thanks.

 

Nope.jpg

Runs a bit smoother and sounds very nice. Could have a touch or torque but could just be my butt dyno is out of calibration. Replacing my distributor cap had more effect, major torque gain there because it wasn't notching timing advance. Of course you shouldn't have the issue being coil on plug.

 

I'm really, really happy with mine, but then again, I didn't have to wait.

 

Anyone see anything wrong with this ? Price seems too good .

Never heard of NSK personally

 

OK thanks.

 

i have 0 personal experience with them. But that said..i will say they seem to be all over the map in terms of how they ride/feel/or just plain work from what i have seen with people on here running them or a friend or two.

Work great for some, flex awesome, hold the weight well.

Work not good for others, go flat fast, or way too stiff, don't flex well, rust fast.

All i can say about them really. Not sure what they cost but really only other option is Dakars or going custom...id go custom.

 

NSK are good bearings, they make supercharger bearings too so they're durable. I like koyos better though

 

Yeah I wasnt sure which bearing are in the kit so I asked the seller. Either way I think should be good if what you say is true . I also rather have koyo though

 

I tore my dash out yesterday for some cosmetics/ interior mods.
Sofar on my list of things to do:
-flock dash
-deep cleanse behind dash and throughout ac ducting (tired of inhaling dust every time I run the ac).
-tac weld mod
-clean up horrific aftermarket alarm and stereo wiring from p/o
-route wire from bussman to interior panel
-leds in cluster

Anyone suggest other things I should do while Im underneath all this crap?
