TORSPD: NEVR

Use the TR rear sway-bar adapter kit. I also believe it has the details of which sway-bar to purchase.

I have one, and have been using it for a long while. Except I purchased mine prior to either TR carrying a kit, or knowing about it.

 

Ok great, thanks for the info. And amazing build BTW. I love my truck, but god its slow relative to my Legacy GT. FI is definitely something that will be in the trucks future, after some handling improvements and the drop.

 

It makes for extensive handling improvements. No Legacy, but considering the field, huge.

 

Watch your rear brake lines! Make sure the rubber hose don’t rub on the bracket, especially traveling with a heavy load. Went camping one time with all my gear and the travel on the roads made them rub cutting the hose. It’s a good thing I caught it before everything lost pressure but just be aware about it when you have the SOS kit installed.

 

I'll have to look at that. I have a stainless rear line I still need to swap out, so that'll be a good opportunity to fix that if it's an issue.

 

@Torspd will the tundra racing stuff work with a aftermarket spring pack? What spring pack are you running? Its probably in here i know...debating if i should just to have easier moto loading

 

Due to the soft ppi of the 4x4 springs, I had a lot of axle wrap. Worse with the axle perched high above the springs with the adapter bracket, as part of the TR kit.

Needing something more performance oriented in spring rate, I went with the XR leaf springs. Added in a Calvert racing set of perches, and back to OEM shackles. Calvert racing also supplies traction bar kits for the XR, which bolt to the bottom of the leaf springs. Axle plate, or whatever it is called. This is the best setup that I have had, which performs the best for a track and driveability.

Other vendors here offer leaf spring flip kits. They are more inclusive and bolt-in than what I did. However, the perches are low profile, and keep the axle close to the leaf spring. Reducing the fulcrum and leverage angle. All you need to do is then retain the current rear shackle, and you have a perfect drop kit. Minus shorter length shocks.

 

I have some deavers right now that are 3inch lift? I know id easily lower the rear a couple inches lower just by doing a spring flip. If anything im sure i vould pick up a stock pair of springs easily and ditch the lift springs.

Edit: i dont see any straight axle flips unless you are specifically talking about the dmz spring under axle lt kit?

 

Whats your tailgate height when its down out of curiousity?

 

Pretty sure that is who makes it.

I'll have to get back to you on that, when I get home. For height reference from the wheel tire combo, I have 295/45 R20 currently.

 

Been bouncing ideas around. May get the intake cams reground, to be capable of utilizing the VVT-I actuators again. Plus they'll still have a more aggressive profile than factory.

In the meantime, I may just swap in the OEM intake cams. See how the engine performs. Basically. It is just a pig down low. Makes a lot of grunting noises, but is lazy. This should be happening in the next few weeks. In the recent past however, certain mods have been moving along in the background. Prepping for another track day.

 

I'd love to see what you come up with on the cam profiles. I think there's a lot of benefits of keeping the vvti. How much of your low end losses do you think are cam vs turbo sizing? It would be cool if reverting back to vvti gives you the best of both worlds, drivability along with big boost.

 

New headlights with lense covers from LineX.



My favorite driving mod so far in this car. Took some scrap aluminum to make a wider clutch pedal. That small one was always leaving my left foot sore.


Favorite handling mod so far. Replace the 22 year old front struts with highly adjustable coilovers. With OEM replacement Bilstein shocks in the rear, as I am waiting to have the time to install the rear coilovers, it still handles like a dream relative to how it did.

 

I was really confused for a second because I thought this was the truck lol

 

When u installing dem overfenders?

 

When I had this BW EFR 9180, on the just stock engine, needing it there to do some mock-up and other mods, it was more quickly spooling through the boost threshold than the smaller Precision Turbo. Smaller turbine A/R and smaller turbo. Effortless into boost.

Then the builds and never put it on the Big Bore block. That would have given me a better idea. That thing whip-lashed passengers, with the Precision. Could close the hood, thus never installed the BW. Knew I would be receiving the stroker engine soon enough, and that a whole exhaust redesign was needed.

Stroker had been a pig, even N/A. Hoped the turbo would help it out. It it had other engines even without surpassing boost threshold. It did, but nowhere near enough.

Time to do something with the intake cams.

 

Went back to '97 and changed things up. Lol.

 

After the turbo kit. Moar tire tractionz

 

To more accurately answer you, @DocME , all of the low end losses are from the lack of VVT-I.

 

Without looking at my N/A dyno chart, peak torque is around 4300 RPM's.
