BassAckwards' AWD Turbo 2TR-FE

Added an intermittent wiper stalk today. It came out of a 2011 Scion tC and cost about 71 bucks on flea bay vs the 130-140 for a new one. Even had some light rain today and got to test them out.

 

I used a 3 speed fix intermittent from a Yaris sedan in my '09 and a variable intermittent from a Camry in my '13

 

I think I got the variable one from a Yaris in my last one for $20 from a pick and pull yard

 

Guessing a Corolla. The Yais was a fixed 3 speed

 

Good morning buddy

 

Howdy Robert. Wrenchin' today?

 

No sir, hugging the heat today, it's snowing here in central texas for once!

Howdy John, you too bud! Have any new years plans?

 

How cold is it? We've had a lovely rainy day in the low 30s

 

It is right at 32 degrees.. just a sec and ill post some snow pics lol. It's a holiday when it snows here

 

Looks like about 3-4”

 

It looks so stubby and short in that first pic!

 

The truck does too

 

You got snow
Lucky guy and morning Robert

 

Good morning Johnny boy

I was surprised myself but yet we got a few inches! It was enough that the road was covered. I went and drove around some and the truetrac really helped in the snow, you just have to really keep your foot out of it. And good morning my friend!

Yall have a great day! Looks like the weather is going to be beautiful today

 

Great manifold!

Always clean installations from you. Good theory on the problem with the trapped gases on the exhaust, especially if you ragged on it for any period of time. My re-worked exhaust now has a fourth muffler and a turn-down to weld in, however right now it’s pointing straight at the axle. I haven’t seen any issue with the axle, no soot collecting or signs of overheating metal on the casing. So I think a turn-down will be enough tbh.

 

Dude. You have way more snow now than we do up here. It’s been just over freezing the past few days (desperately need to wash the truck now but really shouldn’t because it’ll just look the same after 24 hours)

 

i want some snow for my taco

 

Lol yeah I definitely had a few WOT pulls on the hwy. that probably didnt help the issue.. Do you have any noise when you floor it? I know with my TRD Catback if i dont install the tailpipe section and leave the muffler pointed at the axle, it makes a noise when going WOT. I always assumed it was the exhaust pulses hitting the axle housing but i wasnt sure why that'd make it sound different. This little issue may be just enough to push me to learn how to tig weld. I am saving my pennies now for a welding machine.

Well, we "had" more i suppose! We got 4 inches one day in a matter of a few hrs and by the next day at noon, it was all gone. I wish it would've stayed longer but that kind of thing doesnt last long in Texas unfortunately

Good afternoon John, have a nice Monday bud!

I'd like some more too.. I drove around in it for a little while with the prerunner and it made me want 4wd. Then i remembered snow in texas only happens once every like 5 years.. Probably not worth the 2k investment..

 

Thanks brother!
