04 Tacoma turned Buggy

I reach about 85% duty cycle on 550cc injectors, so ya I'd say it's necessary.im using an aem fic6 to tune. I should say was using, i blew a hole through a piston last week.

 

How'd you manage that? How much boost?
Im Thinking of getting the cx racing kit and urd fuel upgrades.

 

Lol 20lbs. I'm using the cx racing header, Iv never seen any of the urd stuff in person so I can't really say anything about it, but I highly recommend the aem fic,lets you do lots of stuff and is supper easy to figure out.

 

Damn 20psi is a lot haha. It must have been fast as fuck tho haha

 

Lol no more turbo tell I get a new motor

 

damn i want a holset on my taco when i turbo it, and sweet build. Hurry up and build your motor!

 

Blew a hole through the piston!? Wow, I haven't seen that before. I guess our connecting rods are pretty strong then.

 

Something like that, I haven't torn the motor down yet. But it's ether cracked or I broke some rings or something.

 

hey were you using the HX35 holset? and around when did you start getting positive boost? also do you know size housing yours had on it? my ideal set up is the HX35 with a .55 a/r exhaust housing on it for quick spool up!

 

I in the highway I would see boost at like 2k, but from a stop and punching it it would be about 2500. I'm not really sure on the specs of the thing I just kinda hoped for the best when I put it on, and it turned out to be just about the perfect. if your easy on the gas you can stay out of boost but as soon is you lay into it it builds boost almost instantaneously.

 

Any updates?

 

Still sitting in the driveway, been Saving pennies to ether swap in a 2jz, or build up a 5vz. Not sure yet

 

Got any more details on the CXRacing turbo kit? You said it didn't line up at the crossover pipe... how did you fix that?

I ask because I was considering getting the CXRacing turbo manifolds.

 

I had to cut it and weld in another section of pipe.

 

Would you like to sell your turbo manifolds, crossover, and downpipe to me in order to fund your 2jz swap?

 

Nice truck, good to see a local guy.

 

Alright soooo time for the 3 year update.
Been doing big turbo Subaru stuff for the last 3 years. I got tired of blowing money on nitrous and methanol so subi is now in storage and the trucks out.

At the beginning of summer I put a new motor and started wheeling the piss out of her.
About a month ago I was pulling up on the trailer getting ready to go to flatnasty and the rear diff grenaded.



So I got a set of 4.30 diffs from a 4Runner and started wheeling again. Then today while going out to get the mail this happened.



Broke the ps side gear in my new diff... good stuff :


and for good measure a few pictures of the old set up.







kinda ironic that after blowing the ringlands in the Tacoma i decided to move on to Subarus.

 

So I started building long travel front suspension a few weeks ago. Nothing too fancy, just 3.5" over.

 

pics of progress on the long travel build.
pulls 12 in using tundra shocks and old man emu 885s.
no idea where ride height will end up, theirs some adjust-ability in the eibach shocks so i should be able to get it dialed in .

 

Update time. Got an alignment, truck drives good on the street so naturally I went wheeling. Everything worked beautifully, couldn't be happier with how the front end turned out.

Now for the bed news I chunked another rear diff.

Now some more good news. I'm putting in a second gen rear axle, 5.29s, and a spartan front locker.
