Thanks man

 

Had a bad experience yesterday with my truck...
on my way home i decided to press squeeze 1st 2nd 3rd then ready to go into 4th BOOOOM something disintegrated... flywheel flew out the bell housing and breaking up everything in its path


have a long list of items to replace
starter damaged
bell housing
clutch
pp
flywheel
exhaust manifold busted
wire work
clutch cylinder and line
even my brake line was damaged

 

Was that the LC Engineering clutch setup that gave way? By the way, I'm really digging your style, great eye my friend!

 

No i believe it was the flywheel it just couldnt take the pressure

 

it was the flywheel that caused the failure.... i was soooo pisssseddd

 

Lazy American question.

How easy is it for you to get parts for this over there? I mean yeah the Internet and order them like the rest of us. But I can't imagine a flywheel is an easy find local.

Awesome build.

 

we have a few places here that we can get parts but I prefer to order everything from there....ill order the parts send it to a warehouse in Miami and then its shipped here and cleared through customs pretty east process

 

This is what under the truck looks like beat up pretty bad.....already ordered everything the only thing that's missing now is the hard line from the clutch slave cylinder to the flexible line

 

Dyno figures before flywheel failure

 

Damnit man, I feel for you bro, when the flywheel failed it was followed up by a chain reaction of destructive carnage. What flywheel are you putting back in?

 

yep quite so.... i ordered one from LCE so will see how that goes.... should have most of the stuff in hand this weekend

 

Jamaica! Love it down there. Just got married in MoBay in January.

That damage is pretty epic. Wow.

What mods helped you hit 270whp / 350 lb-ft?

 

yea man here is nice....
mods included
obx headers
full 2.5 catless exhaust
trd supercharger
urd 2.1 pulley
440cc injectors
megasquirt standalone
aem methkit *largest nozzle*

 

How did you wire in the megasquirt? Which model are you running? Modified rev limit or anything?

 

Wired it in through a jumper harness... straight plug and play... if i want to take off the mega squirt just and easy plug out
running the MS3 only thing i did was add flat foot shifting and 2 step launch control.... im sure i have the fastest tacoma in Jamaica

heres a video i did with the 2step

 

I've heard nothing but great things about LC Engineering and their products, when the stage 4 clutch & PP was installed, I assume it was the stock flywheel in there at the time, which appears to be the weakest link in that set up. I send nothing but positive vibes your way in the installation and testing of this next setup you are gonna be using. Hopefully you can check this off your list and go on to the next stage of the build, which I can't wait to see where it goes. Good luck!

 

yep i think soo too it found the weakest link and it just snapped.... thanks alot man looking forward to going all out with it.... i have something up my sleeve for the the coming month... bought some FN Wheels and respraying in the quicksand colour so stay tuned.
