Hello All,
I am long overdue to actually post this, but I thought I'd do it finally! Ha. Anyway my ride is a:
1998 Toyota 4runner Base
Dark Blue (someone know paint official color?)
3rz - 4cyl 2.7L
5spd Manual Trans (W59)
4x4 (Manual J-gate xfer case)
AC, PW, PDL, Cruise C.
257K miles on her (bought at 215K miles)
Comfort and Convenience Mods:
Pioneer AVIC-X910BT Double Din Nav/DVD Head Unit
Kicker Hideaway 8" powered sub (Mounted under driver's seat)
Additional Constant Hot Lighter Outlet in coin tray under E-brake lever
New 3-way speakers in all doors
OPT-7 LED replacement headlight bulbs (9003/H4 High/low beam)
Aesthetic Mods:
Level 8 mk6 18 x 9" wheels in Gunmetal w/ Cooper Discoverer HTP 255/55R18 tires (65K mile rated!)
Clear Diffused bumper Turn Signal lenses
Painted Grill Gunmetal color (was extremely faded)
Performance and Mechanical Mods:
KO Racing Enforcer Turbo Kit w/46trim T3/T4 Turbo w/journal bearings
Custom by KO Racing front mount intercooler and pipes
Hydra EMS Stand Alone engine management computer (Tuned by KO Racing)
Autometer Ultralite Vacuum/Boost gauge (30/30) in A-pillar pod
Custom by KO Racing Cat-Back 2.5" exhaust w/26"x6" case Magnaflow muffler (looks like stock exit location, no tip, keeping it stealthy lol)
Amsoil Oil and Filter (Annual/15k mile oil change intervals)
Lock-Rite easy locker in rear diff
KYB Mono-Max shocks on all 4 corners
All new front suspension bushings and joints (moog or OEM) and Polyurethane rack mount bushings.
Competition Clutch Stage 4 kit w/6 puck sprung hub
Innovate LC1 Wideband O2 sensor
Future Mods:
Cat-Delete Test pipe
Upgrade in tank fuel pump
500cc/min injectors and more boost!
Currently running about 7 psi and that's all the stock fuel system can do! 190 whp / 240 wtq. Yeah this 3rz is really torque-y!
Blue line is stock power (home made CAI only) before turbo and basically the way I bought it with 215K miles on it, not bad really! had perfect compression, 180, 180, 181, 180 in cylinders 1 - 4. Red is tuned witH Hydra EMS. It will run and have no check engine lights on factory computer just fine. Just have to turn it back to low boost (well, boost is controlled by Hydra also so, that does put it back to low boost, ha!). EMS is sitting in glove box so its about a 30 minute process to reconnect factory computer for emissions times! not bad at all.
Here are some photos:
