COMAtized's Tacoma- 2uz v8 swap

Its been a while since I updated this.

I repaired all the damage from the failed driveshaft. I now have a Tom Woods shaft, but still have vibrations. Not truck killing vibration, but still. I also decided to give up some power and fuel economy and go back to 35s.

Lastly, I finally cleared up my evap codes. I ended up using the 4runner canister.

 

any vids of this thing anywhere? i always wished toyota made a v8 or diesel taco stock. or at least made it a option

 

Not many. The few that exist are Snapchat videos that my friends take.

In January 2023, I stumbled across Speed Academy on YouTube. They have a Lexus LS430 (Flexis) with an Elate supercharger manifold. This allows for the use of the Eaton M112 supercharger from the 03/04 Terminator Mustangs. I have been working most this year on tuning. I currently need to install a stronger fuel pump, and figure out if the P0103 code I’m getting is a result of maxing out the MAFs air flow or something else.

The truck runs and drives fine unless it’s wide open. Working a lot right now with two small kids and finishing up a house build doesn’t leave much time or desire to work on this truck.

 

Non-intercooled?

 

correct. There is an intercooler option, but I don’t have it currently. I’m only making 4-5 psi at WOT and averaging 2-3 normal driving.
