    This tread really inspired me to take the tacoma diesel MODS to the next level with my truck.... Been doing a lot of research, pretty sure I can fit this diesel engine in my truck. Its just over 100,000 hp, DONT WORRY this is not my daily driver, just a weekend rig! Thanks for all the help guys, now i just need to figure out where to put my diesel stack...

    Dude with that size engine you better make sure you have supporting mods ready and have upgraded to titanium braided brake lines to stop all that massive power you are going to have. Make sure you equally get those weakly M/T's ya got right now to some titanium belted tires with kevlar built into the rubber!

    That's what I was thinking as well. There is youtube of a similar diesel such as that running.

    I triple filter the used oil before I put it in the tank because only the best fuel gets used in my truck. My mpg have been steady climbing at an exponential rate since the conversion started. #SootLyfe

    3.4L actually with a supercharger and I have thoroughly thought about adding twin turbos but the only way I would do it is if they were rear mounted at the end of the stack so I could really feel the lag

    You know of course that most diesel vehicles manufactured after 2010 are using urea injection to help the engine burn cleaner.

    Urea is a component in animal urine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea

    Given this information you could logically assume that peeing into the tank will help your truck burn the diesel fuel cleaner. I would bet that the exhaust would smell better too. :rolleyes:

    You could even strike a deal with a company that pumps out porta-potties so you could get free urea to add to your tank. Imagine the power you would have if you Turdo-charged your engine.

    Check engine light has started coming on and going off sporadically and a light in my 10 in diameter (so everyone can see it) boost gauge has gone out.

    OMG I could totally set up a hose running from my second floor apartment bathroom down to the parking lot and attach it to my fuel tank. It would be similar to the electric car recharging stations. I need to hurry and get this to the patent office because this is about to take off once Trump gets elected.

    If diesel doesn't work out you could always convert to natural gas. Asheville's garbage truck fleet runs on compressed natural gas and they even have their own compressor to fill them.
