TYetti's 2.7L Rebuild/FULL SEND/EAF build

Sub'd

Waiting on a full send









But, glad to hear the clutch feels better. Any gains with the headers?

 

Oh she's been full send for a while there bud lol... It's hard to tell because I removed the cats, and I'm also .20 over so any gains that I got would not necessarily translate to other 2.7 trucks. It definitely feels more peppier, although I'm sure I'm loosing a bit with the very flow through exhaust. I'm most likely gonna put a flowmaster delta 50 on the truck in the coming weeks

 

Yeah .20 would definitely negate any reference to performance. How are you going to button up the Flowmaster? Is it still going to be a cat delete?

 

The magnaflow muffler is vband clamped on.. just undo and put new one on.. yes I'll be keeping it catless

 

Still just chugging away.. over 1500km on the engine now, not a single issue!! Gonna throw the skids back on next week, also I'm changing the muffler I can't stand the MF anymore I now wear ear plugs when I drive, gonna order up a flowmaster delta 50 hopefully it brings the drone down, also gonna order an oil filter sandwich as I give up trying to find the mystery metric fitting to make a proper T work with my remote mounted oil pressure gauge.

 

Well if the clutch wasn't broken in before it is now lol went exploring today ended up finding snow and a bunch of old forgotten trails mixed in with a quest to find an old fire lookout tower





Also the tob provided in the Lce clutch kit is rattling around, it's only noticable at idle if everything is dead silent, can't do anything about it, just gonna send it.. also this clutch is nice I was worried it was gonna be an on/off switch it's not at all. It grabs hard but I can slip it if needed... Exhaust has to go.. lol

 

Sooo I got a written warning about my exhaust lol, luckily I had a business card from the guys who fixed my exhaust the other week. Told him I was heading there next week for an appointment to switch the muffler cause i don't like this one. The fact I was wearing ear plugs made the guy laugh. Gave the Cop the full sob story about the engine and getting married in June and oh the pressure.. he said ok just get it quieter, I said that's what the wife said, he went back to his car laughing, so I ordered a new muffler lol.. also ordered an oil filter sandwich from urd to get the remote mount oil pressure sensor hooked up

Whole thing could have gone sideways lately the police have been ordering full safety inspections on any modded vehicles so I'm glad this guy was cool

 

Well that could have gone worse, has for me a time or two. Love that exhaust note but that is from here, lol!
Good to see you back out on the trails. Good looking dog by the way.

 

Everyone says it sounds great outside the truck but I was coming up a hill in second soooo it was getting loud lol.. hoping the flowmaster delta 50 brings it down, Theo is the wife's family dog, he's 6 he never gets to go out and just roam when he comes with me he gets to just wonder in the bush, he needs a little toughening up he's been pampered too much but he's still a good boy

 

Oh ya theres more to this lol... Yay oil changes!!! I also took the opportunity to install my new contraption. I ordered an oil filter sandwich from urd to get my oil pressure sender working right

No leaks and a shiny new filter

I did spring a leak here causs I got distracted and didn't finish tightening the hose fitting. I used high temp vht to seal the thread at all the connections. Including the two block offs as the adapter comes with 3 ports.

 

I wish our motor had the oil filter right on top like the v6 lol. Such a PITA. Glad your truck is happy though. When does the new exhaust go on?

 

It's not really that bad... But I also have a hoist sooo yaaa.. when the muffler shows up.. supposedly tomorrow but we'll see.. probably gonna have to wait till payday to get it installed so like a week or two maybe.. also tax return is coming!!! But I've been informed I can't use it on the truck this year.. don't get married kids lol jk or am I

 

Thanks for posting this and working it out. Will be adding this to my gauge upgrade list.
So where is the trip planned for this year? You usually make an epic journey somewhere for which I am very jealous but also happy as hell someone gets to do it!
Awesome progress!

 

Thanks man!!! The encouragement I've been getting here, locally and on my own instagram really helps push through some of these tiny items!!

This year we are going to Iceland !!! Sadly I cannot bring the Toyota cause that would be epic and costly lol.. rented a Subaru Forester with an RTT and gonna be driving the country as far off the track as the subie will take us!!!

We figured we should do something bucket list since we're getting married

 

Ha! I knew it would be epic!
Congrats on the marriage!

 

Fly bye!!! New muffler actually showed up today hopefully this gets a littler quieter

Haha nyeeerm. I want a before and after video once you plug it in.

 

Ya I'll do another one when I get the delta 50 put on. I was doing 4k shifts and you could hear me coming about twp blocks before I actually reached the camera

 

Still haven't replaced the muffler f the police lmao just kidding it's on my very long list of things to do.

Still struggling planning this Iceland trip, taking a Subaru around dirt roads for two weeks has me uneasy.

In the meantime been putting the truck to use. First no snow weekend at my buddies cabin.






So then this past Friday we had a fundraiser for a local Bctoyota4wd guy who's having a rough time. So out came the flex ramp at the pub


Saturday a buddy rang me up and asked if I wanted to go find a secret nuclear fallout bunker made by a prepper back in the 70s. So I packed the truck in 15 minutes and ran out the door.






There's been some vandalism unfortunately, but very much intact overall










The scramble in is not easy. The whole compound is designed for defense. It's crazy tons of choke points and fall back areas, you need to take a cable car to get to the house. It has its own hydro dam to power the whole compound. There's workshops in another area but we were unable to get to it. It's an out of this world place. The geological composition of the area makes it basically immune to nuclear fallout the builder was a little eccentric to say the least
