Comprehensive 5-lug 2nd gen lowering info.

I hate going to the XRU site sometimes. I don't find what I want... I just end up looking at pic updates of rides
I know about XII, they used to be Sittin Sic
links please

 

ref. for my theory on the qa1 coilovers - image is from a base model.

 

Pretty easy site to use, just scroll to vendor section, then XII Performance. Here's a link to make it easy though. Sittin sic went out of business and XII perf bought up their stock. From what I have been told.

i know about it, just waiting for it. and weighing its benefits to put all the mods i want in order of which to purchase first lol. headers, coilovers..... etc

 

If you want to turbo why waste the money on header? Handling comes first in my book, then power.

 

oh yah i actually made that mistake on ym streetbike build i was so worried about power and once i finally got to my suspension i wished i had reversed the way i modded it. As you can see my suspension on my tacoma is fully modded besides a few extra things here. As for the header that will come whenever. Id rather have the coilovers. So if i do go turbo in the future an lce header would be useless is what your saying?

 

i donno mine didnt bolt directly underneath the leaf springs area, doesnt have that bracket the x runner has. I have the regular cab tho, and its a 2007. access cabs come with those brackets? Where are the pics of your truck?

 

Completely useless, unless you did an sts style turbo....but you'll have lag with that style of setup, more do them doing a turbo mani. Yeah, I'm full modded too. Eibach springs, xr struts, blocks leafs and qa1s. Want coilovers, Then ill link. Them turbo and brakes. The rear conversion is cheaper then I thought. Under 1k right now.

 

Def would like to do a brake upgrade. I have little faith in our stock brakes lol. So would you say adding the lce header is a waste of money? Its gonna be a long time before I end up supercharging. I've heard good things about it. I'm just not trying tk throw away 450 as money has slowed down a bit for me. Oh and my bad I'm an idiot I don't know why I said turbo. I meant supercharge 8) had a retard moment my bad

 

If you're going to super the header is a must. If you're going to turbo, header is a waste as it will get replaced with a new turbo mani.

 

Ok cool good info thanks bro

 

Yeup, you'll want to stick with a 2.25 exhaust till you boost, then dia is dependent on how much boost you end up pushing

 

The headers ain't worth what they cost, I had one it was a waste. Way to expensive for little gain, anything over 2.5 exhaust will hurt you cuz u lose back pressure I'm Turbo an I still have 2.5, its jus fine. Some people use 3in I think its a little over kill for a 300hp 4 cylinder.

 

I'm fairly ignant

wonder how much this will be when it comes out

 

Good question

 

But they will be more functional with the supercharge?

 

Yes, header meant for better flow. A super runs off the pulley and not the exhaust gas like a turbo. So you don't have to engineer a turbo manifold if you go super. Turbo runs off exhaust gas so you will need to build a turbo mani for the turbo to mount to

 

An engine guy with a brain on his head and an understanding of scavenging and bps!

 

That's what I was getting from what I read. Thanks fkr all the info phil
