TORSPD: NEVR

sounds like an awesome road trip.

 

I may have some company too... JLink and PSU Taco85 are both planning to make the trip as well...

 

Just saw you last post Homer. Bring them as well. You are all welcome. I bet we could find a spot or two around here to hit some trails. IF you guys are up to it? Been far to long since the last time I have been off-roading.

Also, just a little update. Shipped out my SPEC clutch with pressure-plate, and flywheel out to McLeod Racing yesterday.







Should be there by Thursday. Then they start the process of putting together a twin disk clutch kit for my truck. The RXT Twin Disk. Rated at 1000 hp. WOOT!!!!

 

A clutch rated to 1000hp ?!?!?

It's a truck, not a....

 

I see what you did there

Being that my ultimate goal is 800 whp 800 + wtq, I need a clutch strong enough to hold that. The RXT twin disk gives me a factor rating over the numbers I am striving for. As well, they maintain a level of drive-ability much nicer than that of a high torque rated single disk clutch.

Currently my SPEC Stage 3+ clutch is rated to 550 tq. But to get a high rating from SPEC, they don't offer a twin disk for our trucks, they would have to add in what they call super clamp springs and a sintered iron disk. That would make pedal effort extremely hard, and the clutch extremely grabby. Not good at all for a daily driven vehicle.

The additional surface area, due to two disks, increases the torque capacity. Thus keeping pedal effort much easier for the amount of torque capacity capable. Double win.

As a side note, Gadget at URD is also bringing to market a twin disk clutch setup for the Tacoma. Rated for 800 and 1000 as well. Not sure when his will be released, but it shouldn't to much longer. He has been testing them for quite a while now.

 

Here is the link

Will Gadget's/URD Twin-Disk Clutch also only be for the T56 Tranny?

 

Nope. His is designed for the OEM transmission in the Tacoma. As well a provisions to have it available for the few T56 owners.

 

Interested for sure then

And something else of interest as well. Dezod has setup a group buy on forged rods. ^_^

Need some more people to jump in on that rod group buy.

Also, just received an invoice from Brian Crower. Stating that my new CP pistons, which are matched to the stroker crank, shipped out to Darton East today. WOOT! The 4.3L 1GR build commences again!

 

Unreal.

I just read back over a few of the more detailed posts.

This thread has given me such an education.

Bravo sir!

 

SUBD! Nice Truck!

 

What was it that you were having question on?

Takes one to know one. Your truck is what I wanted mine to be like, years ago.

 

No specific question...

Just a good read on the iPad while I was on the hopper.

 

Haha. Nice. Done a lot of that myself. Not willing to disclose where I am right now typing this.

 

Here is a teaser of something really cool which my friend made and added to his truck.



He wanted to get that installed prior to going to MSR, this past weekend.

Something for you Homer.



Here is my Flyeyez LED stip which was installed last weeks. Lucario Runner won it at a meet of ours, but it doesn't work on his, so he gave to to me.





Blends in very nicely, and has battery back-up. Sweet product.

 

With the new style drop that I have in the rear, added with the two hole pivot from Caltrac, my traction bars were just to short. The ends were only getting about a quarter inch of tread in them. So I had to upgrade from the 24" trac bar to the 25".





Also, here is a refresher of how my rear setup used to be. With the square U-bolts.

To this



That wasn't safe any longer, as the square U-bolts had nothing to hold onto really. So a friend of mine, Grumpy, ended up having a spare set of XR 3.25" round U-bolts. I will have to get some pictures of that tonight.

 

i got a unichip for my truck and i have watched the video on youtube on how to remap but just not working any directions you could throw my way?

 

I have literally no experience tuning a UniChip. If you have to tools to self tune it, then get someone to drive for you if you plan on tuning it yourself.

First, can you see your AFRs? Do you have an AFR gauge?
