Back to dreaming about an 80 series LC

 

Ain't nothing wrong with that!

Every time you make a mod on a vehicle you are trading something off.

Most of the easy power adders for the Tacoma (like the factory TRD charger) still require larger fuel injectors a larger fuel pump and only add like 60 HP tops.



You want more then you really start adding the bucks.

I calculated my "dream setup" for my 4.0 and it's like 7-8k to get to 350-400hp.

For about that I could LS3 swap have the same power and be more reliable.

Problem I'm running into with that is how to keep 4x4 and get all the Toyota stuff to work.

I could 2UZ swap to stay in the family but then I would lose the 6 speed and I like rowing my gears

Ultimately kit all comes down to money I don't have though.



Story if my life.



If money were no object I would get a Toyota hilux turbo V8 diesel LC79!

 

I love the 79"s.

 

I need to stop looking at motorcycle parts till i can see the bike in person and figure out what needs replaced... and need to stop looking at exhaust systems for the damn thing...

 

Your new bike or the GSXR? Did something happen?

 

the Z. one my friends watching it dropped it while learning (ya i know stupid me for letting her ride it). mostly cosmetic looks like.

 

"the official #s on the base kit is 320hp / 350 ft lbs" that's what was said for TT. SC kits are making 280-320 depending on what dyno I look at. The difference doesn't seem big hp wise. Both are going to be limited by fueling capabilities. The OVT kit will obviously produce a higher tq number at lower rpm.

I like the SC kits for a daily driver. I like the idea of not tapping into the factory oil and cooling system, not having to rely on map safeties if a wg line or cap breaks and results in overboost (this has happened to me + 4 friends), less chance of lspi (plagues turbo DI engines especially) because of less cylinder pressure at low rpm, virtually no chance of boost or exhaust leaks, etc. Pop a coupler on a MAF turbo set up and you're in for a bad time.

Gonna be closely following the OVT installs. Hopefully people will post datalogs of pulls and towing. Would be real curious to analyze those

 

Lol. I went with a buddy of mine to go get his first bike back in the day. Had a brand new Z750 and I watched him drop it in the parking lot

 

I hope to hell she's paying for it.

 

I was at the Yamaha dealer one day and a guy swore(with an attitude) he knew what he was doing. Fucker rev'ed it and dumped the clutch. Sent a brand new R6 flying into the mail box

 

she might in some ways... her and i are going to have a nice chat on the drive home since shes picking me up at the pier.

 

Fuck that. I'd make her pay me cash, throw in a "sorry" fuck, and then pocket the cash if it's just cosmetic damage

 

You better drive and get road head with eye contact

 

Y’all fuckers are ruthless...

 

Not sure how my roommate and her roommate who will both be with us will feel about that.

 

well OEM replacement is looking at over 400.... and hey, she can always hook me up with one her girlfriends. i wouldnt mind.

 

Blindfolds and ear phones

 

That's cause for a grudge fuck right there. She wrecked your bike, you wreck her.......or try to

 

I'm so lost. is it your ex that dropped the bike?
