What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I don't even know who you are anymore.

 

Ultra gauge vs scan gauge

 

I like my scan gauge but I've never had an ultra gauge.
I like that I can see intake temp, avg mpg, coolant temp, and trans temp among other things with my scan gauge and I can change the back light color to match my gauges, climate control and stereo

 

Jon hit the nail on the head IMO. If you're fine with blue, the Ultra Gauge does pretty much everything the scan gauge does at 1/3 the price.

 

For a couple of amateurs me and my buddy didn't do half bad if I say so my self.

The top still needs to be beaten back and hit with a few beads but its looking good. Should be rolling out tomorrow

 

Sup bro...ill pay you in gum

 

Ill have to use that gum to glue the firewall tub together for ya!

 

Removed rust and painted gas tank skid plate.

 

Lets do it

 

How did anyone even figure out that this is possible? There must be like a million variables that would have to be the same or compatible.

 

casting numbers on the cams are the same between the 5vz-fe and 3vz-fe. different grinds though and a notch for a distributor. Also, same family of engine, and close examination of the 2 cylinder heads.

 

Thanks guys! I kind of have a green scheme goin but I like the look of the ultra gauge a little better. For the price though it's very tempting!

 

The one thing the UG doesn't do is read the trans fluid temps. If this important to you, the SG is the way to go.

 

I think MX plus does, whichever is the top tier model

 

That's what I forgot to mention. The scan gauge will, you just have to find the code on their site and program it in

 

I tried the ultra gauge but now use torque instead. In regards to tranny temps some first gens don't have the ability to relay it.

 

Wired up the switch bank...

 

Cleaned my MAF sensor/Air filter
Washed and Waxed
Gonna put some photos up of the f5's with 3.5" BS bronze on black!!!!
