Brice's Turbo V6 Build - Is For Sale $6500 obo

For sale is my 1999 Tacoma Prerunner SR5 V6 with a turbo ~ ooohhhhhh.

Miles: 183,109
Transmission: A340E
Drive: 2wd 4x2
Year:1999
Title: Clean
Location: Montgomery Texas
Fast: Yes, it'll whoop your average 2000's V6 Mustang driver or the guy at work that thinks his Civic Si is fast.


I have about $9,000 in this truck - That is items purchased installed and the price of the truck not including labor.

Asking $6,500 obo​

No offense to Civic Si drivers. The Si is cool.

For an in depth look at what has happened to the truck in the last 3 years, you can pick through my build thread, but for now I will list what my memory permits here.

This is my first truck, I got it when I was 15 from a lady that used it to haul mountain bikes around. Prior to her I think a cowboy owned it, I say because it came preinstalled with a cowboy hat holder lol. Upon getting the truck home it needed a new power window master switch and for some reason the power steering didn't work. I remedied the first two problems and for the next year and a half it became my daily driver and favorite vehicle. At one point I did the deckplate mod and welded in a flowmaster delta 50 series muffler for a little butt dyno increase in power. It remained largely stock until I decided I wanted to turbo charge it and that's where it all went downhill.

So without further adieu, here is a mostly comprehensive list of things I have done to the truck. Don't expect to see miles driven on this stuff. I never made a habit of listing when I did what unfortunately, although I can give estimates.

Please ask any questions you have. All reasonable offers are considered. I'd also consider a trade for a 67-72 year model C10 preferably a short bed but I will consider a long bed.​

Interior:

• Pioneer FH-X520UI 2-din radio
• Some kicker 6.5" 2-way speakers in the doors
• All red LED dash cluster as well as HVAC controls and ash tray
• I replaced the dome light and installed a white LED in it
• LED reading lights
• Red LED key ring
• Wet okole seat covers
• Weathertech floor mats front and rear
• I 3d printed some functional seat handles
• 3d printed AC sliders
• I recently replaced the center dash piece as the original one was cracked badly.

Exterior:

• Matte black grill and semi matte-chrome red Toyota emblem
• Matte black bumper fillers
• LED reverse lights
• LED running lights
• Sun visor
• I installed the left rear bumper cap since the truck was missing it when I got it
• Tow hitch
• OEM rims

Nothing much on the exterior, I wanted to keep it a sleeper.

Now we get into the fun stuff.

Performance:

• AEM F/I C 6
• URD ECU harness
• Manual boost controller
• CXracing ceramic ball bearing turbo @10psi. 51/73mm cold and 62.3/68mm hot with a 0.70AR cold side and a 0.63AR hot side. Data logs show boost starting at around 2300 rpm or so.
• 3" exhaust with a Pro series flowmaster dumping pre-axle
• High flow flowmaster cat. (doesn't do much but its physically there in case some pokey emssions guy gets under it)
• DIY rear o2 sensor - possibly one of the best mods on here
• 2.5" IC piping stepped up the 2.75" for the intake throttle body.
• Chevy SU1075 knock sensor swap
• Decently large intercooler mounted behind the bumper
• Post MAF setup
• 10 psi of boost
• 550cc injectors from Oside Tiger
• AEM 320lph fuel pump
• 6an oil cooler pre turbo
• 4an oil feed to the turbo with a 0.70 restrictor
• new front bosch o2 sensor
• AEM X-series wideband
• Boost/vacuum gauge
• Currently running my own tune without issue (Been running this tune for about 3000 miles)
• Transgo shift kit that I drilled out for hot rod shifts
• AFE air filter

That concludes what I have done performance wise. The turbo kit itself has around 10k-12k miles on it.

General drivetrain and maintenance:

Fully rebuilt front suspension. See it here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/brices-turbo-v6-build.437641/page-90#post-17085917

• New poly cab and front fender mounts
• Icon 3-pack AAL in place of the factory overload spring (this was installed to combat wheel hop which I will mention at the end)
• I had put some monroe sensa-trac shock on it when I first got it at 166,xxx miles, it now has 183,000 miles on it
• The rear diff fluid was changed out about 7k miles ago
• the engine oil was literally just changed with full synthetic in anticipation of going to the drag strip with this thing. Zero miles on the current change.
• New oil filter
• Relatively new transmission fluid. 3k miles maybe?
• New intake gaskets - all of them 10k
• New valve cover gaskets and rear cam seals - all of them 10k
• Fully flushed the brakes about 5k ago
• Newish master window switch 17k
• Newish power steering rack and pump 17k
• Newish master cylinder 17k
• Oil changes done about every 5k
• New oil pan gasket (done with the turbo install)
• All new belts. 5k maybe?
• Just replaced the little rubber strip between the rear left fender flare and the bed
• Bed Lined with herculiner (starting to fade)
• Rear white LED license plate bulbs
• New license plate light housings and seals
• New shifter bushings
• New carrier bearing on the driveshaft
• Recently greased all the zerks in the drive line
• New battery
• Redline hood struts (Second best mod?)
• Recently aligned
• All new vacuum hose (all new one where I didn't delete them.)
• Has provisions for cruise control but the cruise unit was broken so I removed it and stuck IC piping there.
• No windshield washer, wiring is there but the tank was moved so I could run IC pipes

Now onto the less good bits.

The truck isn't perfect of course and it has some flaws. I would think it unfair not to tell you of these flaws.

Turbo gets hot. So does paint. Hood has a small section where the paint is peeling.

It has axle wrap. This could be fixed with tration bars

Missing passenger seat trim

A few small dings here there along with some scratches.

The AEM F/I C 6 wiring harness could also be de-pinned to save glovebox space, but I never cared.

All in all these are fairly small things aside from maybe the wheel hop, however Speedfreek sells a set of traction bars made for 1st gen Tacomas on his website. If I chose to keep this truck I would install these. http://speed-freek.com/for-sale/speed-traction-bars/

Now for some pictures. Many more progress pictures can be found on my build thread in my sig.
