you should get the 1/2 inch snap on one its insane ive had the 3/8s for years and the 1/2 no replacement for them

 

Let's hope so. The transmission install was a bit of a pain.....

 

Curious why they aren't using the LSU 4.9

 

Development was prior to its release, is the most likely answer.

 

I was going back through your archives, and discovered Dezod for my supporting parts.

 

Some parts. They used to try branch into the Tacoma scene, but had a up hill competition with URD. Whom dominates the aftermarket.

 

I just like to shop in one spot as much as I can. Buying single parts from 20 separate companies drives me crazy lol

Are you rocking the stock pedal assembly? Or have you not pushed it hard enough to justify the idea yet?

 

I still have all three OEM pedals. They do have Sparco pedal covers on them though. This way I was able to shift the surface area of the brake pedal to the left. To make it a little better for my left foot braking. A technique that I received training on at a Rally Cross training event.

Would I like to have a three pedal assembly from Wilwood or AP Racing? Hell yes. Mainly because all of the pedals would be on the same plain. What that entails? I have not delved deeply enough into.

 

Loading up your brakes before a turn is very important at speed and being able to heel-toe consistently would be nice. A firewall mounted setup would be rad

 

Since I had to reinstall my clutch recently, due to one or both of the head gaskets going out, on the old faithful Subi, added in a clutch line "break point." I used to have to remove the whole clutch line and re-route it every time the transmission came out.

All in the aims of making my life easier, and a quicker job with the trans. Along with that "break point," I added in the nifty little fitting to help make the bleeding job effortless. Man, I tell you, it was worth the $20 for the two Earl's Solo-Bleed fittings.



For that line, the Solo bleeder has to be installed into that hard fitting. Otherwise the swivel hose end will allow air intrusion. My fitting is a -3AN, or 3/8" x 24. They have metric as well, if anyone wanted them for their clutch or brake line.

You can modulate the pedal pressure nice and slowly to prevent all of the tiny bubbles from forming. Just loosen the fitting a little, and slowly press the pedal. Watch as all of the air comes out. Super easy.

 

Sir, in search of a good AFR gauge as I soon will be boosted via S/C. I was wondering if you could steer me in the right direction for a AFR gauge? Also will the 1GR be needing x2 as its a V6?

Thank you for the help in advance.

 

The AEM UEAGO? UEGO? Something like that works well for me. My only problem with it is that it pegs out in the low end at 10, so I know for a fact I'm probably down in the 9s. Very easily set up and comes with well written instructions

 

TRIEd searching on your thread, do you have a check valve on your brake booster?

 

The newest version of the AEM UEGO comes with the newest Bosch LSU 4.9 sensor. It reads in the 9's and hundredths. Example 14.67 AFR. The details can be found on www.aempower.com Cheaper prices will be found at different vendors though.

It has enough wire length, to run the sensor from the Y-pipe , or catback as well. You could also run it one per bank if you wanted.

 

Yes I do. www.Treadstoneperformance.com is where I purchases mine. The 3/8".

 

That's the one I was eyeing out. Wasn't sure if I needed 2, one per bank sort of deal. Since I'm still running stock exhaust manifold with cats up front, I am assuming the AFR reading may be off if I place sensor aft Y-pipe. Would running sensor to Y-pipe still provide an accurate AFR reading you suppose?

 

It only skews is a few tenths. Nothing drastic.

When I run my truck N/A, the wide band it just after the Y-pipe.

 

Hey Tor,

Have you played around with metal intake manifolds yet?

 

Sounds good to me!! One less gauge I'd have to purchase

 

I did. Just never finalized one. The one which was made for a friend, was then sold to DoubllD, then to another friend, then to another guy. Minus helping with its build, no.
