San Diego BS Thread.

Sounds about right

 

Bit of a stretch here. Any fellow TWers live in the Chula Vista area? I'm lookin to buy a 1st gen tundra down there potentially but haven't been able to line up the time to take the trek down there. Maybe I can convince one of ya'll for help inspecting it

 

May be possible if I get some free time during the week

 

Other end of the county for me, sorry. Let's hope this is the one?

 

Thanks but don't sweat it if you're busy

Maybe, I think it's a pretty good deal. I'll PM you. Just waiting on the seller to get his title in a couple weeks.

 

Shot in the dark here:

Any shops out there that might fabricate Lexus seats into my 1st gen?

They’re definitely gonna require some fabrication to make install possible. They didn’t come with rails but they do have mounting holes. Would Probably use the rails I’m using now. I just don’t have the tools or supplies.

 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

sick! where you rally at?

 

No where special, typical Gypsum rail bridge, check truck and drive where ever the truck takes me

 

Hope everyone is doing well! I've just been hammering away every day trying to stay ahead of it..
I feel like all I ever do is work, in reality it's more than a feeling, but I suppose I am hard wired for labor and or have a difficult time taking a break since nothing gets done that way.
Being a workaholic is much better than the other "holics" blessing and a curse I guess, could definitely be worse, surely a double sided sword in some regards.

Anyway I got the Tacoma running now and its ridiculous.....only on gate pressure (7psi) and its quite eye opening, can't wait to spend some more time tuning it so I can crank it up to a full bar aka "an extra atmosphere (14.7psi roughly)" should be able to drift at 100+mph if I feel so inclined.

 

Oops forgot to post pics of the setup although I’ve posted it before but now it’s all done besides making a custom wiring harness in order to make the AC system function normally since I’m now running a Holley Terminator X ECU and no longer using the GM stock ECU like before.
But the issue is today randomly I was messing with the fuel and spark tables and the fuel pressure started to drop and went to 0 and died. Not it’s not making enough fuel pressure, weird, it sounds like it’s working normally but it’s not building any pressure as if the inlet screens are clogged but that isn’t likely since I built this fuel system for 1000+ HP and I’m using DUAL 450LPH Walbro fuel pumps. Way overkill but better too much than not enough when it comes down to a turbo fuel system. If you are running 1bar you are using double the fuel over a non boosted setup and when using E85 you can multiply that by 1.70 since you need a LOT more fuel when using alcohol buy it has some other significant drawbacks as well, but it’s awesome for FI or high compression engine configs. But isn’t a major advantage in normal stock vehicles that aren’t turbo or S/C.
So I guess now I get to diagnose the fuel issue which is weird since I have a shit-ton of fuel pump! Always something when you modify every system there is I suppose, good thing I know a guy who is very familiar with FI setups, haha..
And I also changed it from a single 4” exhaust to a dual 3” and it is a little bit quieter now and more importantly it looks cool since I used TRD chrome tips on both sides…

Anyway it’s time to drop the fuel tank again so I can see if there is a visible issue.
somewhere…always something. But I’m the end it’s worth it.


Edit: I fixed it!!!! But I should have realized this sooner..I wasted an hour of my life!
So what was the issue, I ran out of gas! However my fuel gauge was at 2/3 so it didn't register initially but then I started thinking about how much time I've spent with the truck idling and a few drives and the fuel gauge never moved so that was my first clue

 

Looking good Jason. Gonna need some meats in the back for hooking up.

Haha!
4-link w/rear 335s should help..talk is cheap.

 

amazing to see it finally coming to fruition!

 

Thanks, took far longer than anticipated since i did more upgrading than I intended, and still have more to go but it runs now so that's an achievement.
Im always too busy working on everyone else's trucks, haha, but its coming along..
Hope you are doing well!

 

Doing well man, got a speeding ticket on the bike yesterday lol but that's alright. Gotta pay to play. Glad to hear you're staying busy...how's Anza doing? Don't think I saw any updates on her, might have missed them.

Also as an aside...do you ever go to the track? I know that MT01 is begging to be let loose...been looking at doing my first track day this summer.

 

Oops, that happens with big liter bikes without even trying..power to weight ratio can do that.
And I haven't reported on her, I got one of her legs done maybe 7 weeks ago and I'm not so sure its healing properly so things aren't as good as I had hoped unfortunately..

And yeah I used to ride track on streetbikes a few decades ago, it is definitely fun knowing you can push pretty good and having repeatability it really helps you improve corner speed plus entry and exit angles, try and hook on to a faster guy and see how he does it and follow the line but with less speed until you get comfortable.

 

Yup lol. Considering this is my first one, I'll count myself lucky and eat it haha. Yeah track time is even more of a priority now that I've been checked by Johnny Law.

That's not ideal to hear about Anza, but it's something at least. Fingers crossed for her recovery man.
