TORSPD: NEVR

Little update. There was a minor hiccup with the machinist. Didn't realize at first that two torque plates were necessary. So another had to be made. Other than that, progress is moving along.

Also nearing completion of my fuel line upgrades. Had to order a few more fittings. In a few days I'll have the FST fuel filter installed, -8AN PTFE lined feed fuel line, and billet fuel rail installed. Which will complement the new FueLab FPR. Then tuned for 8 psi with the ID1300 c.c. injectors on the 10th. WOOT.


Here's the fuel filter again. All fuel compatible and filters down to 5 microns.





We were supposed to be racing at MSR this weekend, but due to the impending weather, it has been cancelled.

 

Bummer about not being able to run this weekend. I need to stop by sometime soon as I still haven't had the pleasure of a ride along.

Oh, do you know the OD of the rear axle tube on our trucks? Need to order some u-bolts and don't have my calipers with me at the office.

 

Pretty sure it is 3.25" O.D. Also, the largest size perch from Calvert Racing. Hit me up whenever you are able to swing by.

 

Forgot to add in this photo, of back when I was in SoCal. Lifted 5 lug, lowered six lug, and both turbo'd. Need to make the trip again and get another with the TRD s/c'd truck as well. Great people that I got to meet. You know who you are.

 

Yup, 3.25". I measured the tubes last night. They measured out to 3.22" and some change, so 3.25" it is.

 

Awesome.

Can't wait for that to arrive!

 

Had to make a trip to the hardware store last night, which impeded my progress on the fuel system upgrade. I was able to get the frame grinded and the filter mounted though. Running the lines and mounting the billet rail will be a breeze.




Still need to go back and paint the exposed area.

 

So, you'll down the bottle and then start working on the truck? Should make for some interesting mods.

 

I re-read all 140 pages while I was waiting in the hospital. So much win in this thread I can't even express. Thank you again for sharing this journey of yours with us my friend!

 

so clean.. and the ease of use

 

Not unless I want my mods to look like Dr. Seuss did them. Lol.

If gone back and re-read some of my earlier posts as well. It is revealing of our mindsets at the time and fun to see the evolution of our knowledge.

I still have a lot more to share because I am not giving in or giving up on this build! Way to much fun! Plus, you still need to drive it with boost.

 

Curious about that as well, but don't want to ask about his private issues on a public forum. He'll be good.

It really is. I'll get another angle today, so that the location of the mounting is better visualized. Also, the good thing about this location versus the other possible location, is that this is quite protected from potential hazards. I just feel safe with it there.

 

Thats why i didn't ask, just conveying concern

 

Very good sir.

 

Theres nothing going on with that SC'd truck nothing special

Early June? I'm kicking around the idea of taking a detour on the way back from Moab.
