Ajmogen's Hypermiling Tacoma

Have you drained yours yet?
Curious how much oil actually passes through. I think that the smoking on an incline issue might be related

 

This was after about a month and 1500 miles. People have said it eliminates the smoking issue. There’s also a pick in the spark plug thread where someone pulled the intake and there’s quite a bit of blow by

 

Yaris gearbox service: 183000 Amsoil MT90

 

Sell me on this -- i see it around and i'm not sure if it's worth it?

Also, discord game night tomorrow night if ya want

 

It’s totally worth it. Especially if you spend time off road and have had the taco spew white smoke

 

I've wanted one for a long time. There's some debate on their value.

I'm in the better safe than sorry camp.

I believe that this will eliminate smoking on an incline. I also think that keeping any oil mist out of the combustion chamber is a good thing. Oil shouldn't be there, its not part of the fuel air mixture and oil's not compressible, and it potentially could leave burnt oil where I don't want it.

It was $150 shipped. Includes everything needed for the installation.

If when I empty it, there's an ounce of oil, it will be worth it.

 

I definitely had more than an ounce in mine

there’s also some pix in the spark plug thread from a guy that took off his intake and there was plenty of oil goop in his.

And I read something about how the oil alters air fuel ratio but I don’t remember all the specifics on that

like @ajmogen said, better safe than sorry. I didn’t know if I’d personally see the benefits others do and it’s already collected more than I expected.

 

Farewell slippery as shit stock Dunlops...


You won't be missed

 

The 4runner came with shitty Dunlops also!

Good riddance!

 

Which tires did you go with? I need to replace the tires on the tenere at some point

 

Pirrelli Scorpions.
Guy who sold the bike bought and never installed them

 

I haven't tipped the 4runner over yet...

So they'll stay on for a little while longer

 

Lol! They were fine for everything but snow. I almost wiped out going 55 on a snowy bridge. There could have been ice involved. But, it was enough to convince me that the safe thing to do was replace the tires with KO2's.

 

I look forward to getting those KO2s installed, just not in a rush. I park the 4R in the winter anyway. It's only seen snow once, and I agree the Dunlops didn't grip the best

 

you deciding which of your harem of vehicles to take out of the stable based on the weather

 

I tell kids: study hard and stay in school; someday you can drive a sweet Yaris too

 

Tires installed, going to take a quick ride for fuel. One more thing checked off the to-do list

 

Foot must be getting better if you are hopping on the bike again!

 

Foot feels pretty good. I didn't get the green light from my surgeon to ride again, (I have restrictions until October) but what he doesn't know won't hurt him

Now trying to get over some fear. I'm rolling through corners pretty slow
