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

i just kept the banks split where they would normally y together. this is all i can find on my phone from years ago.

 

Those are output shots of a D2S 4.0 not the mini H1 7.0. I had the 7.0's on my truck at one time and they are similar in output and color and might be a little wider. I liked them and still have them just have to do another retro with them. Currently I'm using G5R projectors w/ 50w ballast. They also look similar to those output shots. I think this shot was from the H1 7.0 out of the box with no tuning.

 

Ok, thanks, either way an amazing difference, I’m not sure the D2S will fit in the rectangle 7x8 lens I have, need as small a depth as possible

 

So you’re just using stock manifolds?

It sucks there isn’t room for equal length headers. I think the URD equals are like 30hp. An extra 30 with the SC Would be awesome.

 

After leveling my truck back in the summer I got the notorious 30-40mph vibration. I don't drive the truck that much but on weekends here and there. Today I finally got around to replacing the driver side needle bearing with the ECGS Bushing. Made my own tool off the bushing dimensions I got Wednesday. Little extra material removal from the tool this morning and it popped right out. Took about 2.5 hrs start to finish. No more vibration.

 

yea that was back with stock manifolds

 

It looks a bit kinked where it is exposed, I wonder if it is kinked somewhere along the line and is stuck from that.
How stiff is it if you get under the truck and tug on it there?
I wonder if you can spray some silicone lubricant on the cable at both ends and just keep working it back and forth.

 

Cable broke on the other end? Should not bunch up like that when you pull it out.

I did replace my complete brake assembly that you pull on a few years ago because it was worn out tho

 

something hanging up on the pulley when releasing? probably what the others said but if its snapped, I'd think that thing would just spin towards you when engaging it.

 

Time to just convert to either a Land Cruiser rear axle or full floating kit with disc brake / hydro line lock

 

Its official! She runs!
Still some details to do, like heat shields, Ceramic coating, coolant lines, ect.

 

Will watch for updates... I have been known to MASH the hell out of it to the the dash light to go off as well. Apparently there is a switch that is the culprit for the light not going off all the time. I just have not bothered to track it down - maybe I should before it's really screwed up.

EDIT: I believe this is the switch. Going to see if its the cause of the light not going off issue.

What are you doing for electronics/tuning? Piggyback or full ECU replacement?

 

Your cable could be frayed and hanging up. I'd just replace the cable. They are not very expensive and pretty easy to replace.

Finally replaced the burned out bulbs in my gauge cluster. Took about an hour from start to finish. There were two missing screws though so apparently it had been taken apart before I bought it...

 

Rotated the tires. It's only been just over 15k miles. Thought it might be a good idea.

 

mini h1s didnt fit in my housings. i had to cut the backs off to where they stick out about 1.5" and the lens still barely clears the projector. just jbwelded them in after

 

Put in a reman. cold weather denso starter earlier this week and had the front window tinted 70% and the sides 35% 2 weeks prior.

Ordered new valve cover gasket, grommets, plugs, intake gasket, some other small stuff located near there to do next month. Leaking like a biatch and smells in the cabin. Anyone know what cam seal they say to replace? Only seen the timing belt gear dust seal.

 

Check out this thread, it will help. - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ping-out-valve-cover-gaskets-pictures.469596/

Also consider getting a new fuel regulator. Mine failed when I got everything back together, leaking fuel out of the airbox. Had to take the intake back apart to replace the regulator and get a new air box since the gas destroyed the rubber gasket inside it.
