98 TRD 3.4L Turbo , Methanol , LT

Yes!

 

These things are heavier than I thought! And huge......for some reason they didn't send my front bumps. Easy fix I'm sure. They came suprisingly fast.

 

WOAH! You going long travel? When did I miss that?

 

Yeah, it's been my plan from the get go. I'm pretty excited although I do want to get all my turbos bugs worked out first. Going sua with a small cage in the back and solo motorsports full kit up front.

 

Nice! What bugs do you have?

 

Boost gauge will still go into the 9 to 10 psi range when I get to higher rpms and afr's go up to 15 to 17 when this happens so I try not to redline it ever. I don't understand because my wg spring is supposed to be 4psi. Also I need to check for leaks in my methanol line because the tank seems to disappear fast. Finally I have my fuel pump, bigger injectors, and piggyback to tune and install.

Edit: ended up having a leak in the eBay wastegate.

 

14s??? Your gonna wish you'd gone 16s very fast. Why didn't you? Usually that's the minimum for SUA lt.

 

Shit! The guys at solo told me what I would need and he has tacomas. I can always ship them back and get 16's.....? That sucks. Thank you for the heads up!

 

Yea Id say almost all go with 16s for SUA lt setups. Some even 18s. Most pull 16-20" with those.

I've never seen 14s used on lt...

 

Right on brother! I will most likely get started on this now. Yeah, I see on some of these other guys builds it's 16. Wonder why he told me that.

 

Can you show me how your intercooler is setup and piping?

 

Can you take a few more but not so tight to the truck now? Is your intercooler like the cx racing setup or is it tucked up high?

 

Yup go 16s..I had 14s and it just sucked and really limited travel....wish I had 18s

I'm strapped at 17.5" and it's perfect but I could pull about 21" with 18s

 

I need to come visit again Josh! Looks like you're getten 'er done!

 

I can get 18's too if that would be best??? Pretty sure ill have to send these 14ers back.

 

Just cut out where I highlighted and run the charge pipes through there. It's not too difficult, just a bunch of cutting and fitting. I ran it up high on either side of the radiator. Then just used some leftover metal parts from some project or another to bolt and mount it. It rested perfectly between the frame ends. Lightly painted it flat black and cut the stock bumper to fit around it until I can fab one up.

 

Anytime bro. I'm sure putting this sua kit on the back is going to be no joke. Having to relocate all the leaf mounts and shocks.

 

King gave me the go ahead to return my shocks. Fortunately! Be careful buying from downsouth and king because any shock that is "custom" made for an application is a no return item. Good companies, just make sure your order is what you need. I was not told this at the time of purchase and frustrated to think a $3k+ shock purchase would be final. Glad that they worked it out for me. Most likely I will go with a 16" triple bypass remote since most guys are running those.

Question.....would an 18 be better because I've seen a few guys getting those too? I want to mount to a bed saver type cage outside the frame rails with my trd axle, using spacers and negative offset wheels.

 

Would scrap the E locker and get a tundra axle if you want to do that. You can't with the elocker unless you want to notch the frame. Some still have to notch with a tundra/t100 axle.

18 would get you some more travel, but at some point the front is going to just limit you anyways. 16s will be fine.
