TORSPD: NEVR

I just googled it.
Everything that came up was for various incarnations of the 2.5 motor. Nothing mentioned about the 2.0

 

Here is a start.

http://www.86speed.com/products/grams-72mm-drive-by-wire-throttle-body.html

Then scroll through their performance section. They supply a lot of known high quality brands.

Also look through http://www.tanabe-usa.com for exhaust components. Top notch.

Then there is an article or two on www.Motoiq.com. Quite indepth. I'll look for it.

 

This started today. The rear disk swap.




The drum had a lip, from age. Defiant bastard wouldn't let go of the shoe. Chop chop I say...



Here is the lip. Looks so small. Damn did it put up a fight!



Axles out. Bearings covered, and backing plates cut off.






Need to run by Toyota tomorrow to pick up the 4Runner parking brake shoes.

 

Love the braking as is but exited to see the results of discs on all 4 corners.
And thanks for the links- I'll browse this evening.

 

Almost there. Failed to remember to order the parking brake shoes ahead of time. No biggie. I have those components on order. Despite that, it'll be drivable in a few hours. Were it not for this continued rain, I'd be able to get out there and do some stopping tests.

 

Two day rear disk update. I've been driving since Monday night. Ran into more than a few issues during the install, but those were by fault of my own.

As for the stopping, the best that I can describe it is that it is more fluid. More evenly distributed.

It stops easier, for obvious reason. Did a few semi-hard stops to test it out, but the weather wasn't condusive to allow repeated hard braking. On the first night. Since then, I can already brake later with less pedal pressure, which is also good. It translates to stopping sooner before surpasing the braking threshold for locked front tires. As that was something I fought with primarily on the track, but a few times off, during necessary emergency braking.

I absolutely enjoy the upgrade. Have not even once had the rears lock up before the fronts, as so many people have speculated.

A shame that I didn't do a before and after stopping distance test comparison.

If these carry on to perform the same under severe driving, then I highly recommend anyone with added weight, make the swap. Especially added to the bed area.

 

As for the problems which I encountered, I will update with those in a short while. Let's just say that I really jumped the gun.

 

Probably would also be good to get some weight over that rear axle too.

This makes me want to get the BBK up front and the disc conversion for the rear

 

Does a bed mat, and Caltrac bars count?

I need to weigh the different components.

 

Perfect haha

 

Just a numbers game.....

 

whats the word on your build?

 

Which aspect?

 

whole thing you dont post much at all. what engine is in it? is it running? you have a turbo on it? etc etc

 

Been tied up doing many things.

There was a recent posting of a rear disk swap, not too long ago....

N/A, 4.3L stroker engine.

Haltech Elite 2500 installed but not plugged in. I plug it in when I get the time to spend a few hours on it. I am running into an issue with it sensing the cam position sensor. So it won't synchronize without that. Have a few areas to troubleshoot, but just need more dedicated time.

Were that synch-ing, I'd be running it. Might even have it running the turbo for TX2K, next month. Were it synch-ing.

 

Also had my AeroTurbine muffler fail. How so, you ask? Welds broke internally. Caused a baffle to flop around. Sounded like cans tied to strings, dancing around. Utterly annoying.

Installed a 2.5" Magnaflow straight through, round muffler. Man is it quiet. Masks my cam lope.

 

well we cant have that need to put a black widow in there.

 

Simple and fairly cheap. It'll have to do for the N/A puttering.
