6.0 taco now!

Or this?

 

ive sent over 400ftlbs from a turbo 3.4 through original 95 rear with 35" tires without issues. still holding up to this day

 

Did a couple pulls today ran good but not super fast, medium traction all through 1st no tire slip in 2nd and on. Should be a good mix of power and drivability

 

Pulled well, hour test drive. 2 grader tires and 90 car/truck tires.

 

All that and you didn't blow the factory ring and pinion? lol

Just started following along. I might have missed it but why did you scrap making it 4x4? I know the stock pan is in the way but would a custom pan have cleared the front diff?

 

Sold 2 4wd kits to pay for my other hobby/addiction

damn. that thing needs a turbo asap.

 

I was thinking a small shot of nitrous but it does it’s job well now, and my wife is not buying that it needs nitrous.... YET! Lol Just got the shifting corrected, anyone have any clue how to make the tach work? Pin 4 on connector 10 doesn’t work...

 

Doesn’t help 02s arnt hooked up yet. Hits the rev limiter once before the 1-2 shift so I’ll get it dialed soon but better now. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KsFLYKcB33Y

 

Hooked up ground brown wires to ground and ls ecm signal works on pin 4 of Tacoma gauges. Rpm and speedo are now correct. For some reason having a time getting coolant temp to work even with Toyota etc sender?

 

Welp 5.3 is no longer in, 6.0 going in this week

 

Didn’t use the welded pan, used a F body pan. Iron block 6.0. I’m using a champion 3 core radiator now. Stock radiator is good without towing anything, put around 100 miles on the 5.3 towing a lot of tires. Started overheating a bit so the new champion 3 core has held the temp under 195 with no fans running in normal driving, have not towed yet with the new radiator. Wiring is pretty basic actually. The only thing I need to get wired is the coolant temp sensor and tap in a yota sender. All other gauges work well

 

welp 6.0 is in and runs but oil pressure is low and has metal in the oil....... great

 

Anyone interested in a ls ready Tacoma? Maybe even one with a jasper 5.3 ready to roll? 100k mile 3 year warranty on the engine.

 

Riiip finally get to see it going and now it stops

 

Might not be done, debating to put a jasper 5.3 or 6.0 in it. It’s just annoying how many used engines are crap lol

 

The first 5.3 made it 400 miles before it threw a rod, 6.0 never got out of the driveway

 

3rd try is the charm? @shapagna hopefully it works if you do
