    My Daily Driven Turbocharged '97 SR5 5 Speed 4Runner

    Shameless bump, I have been out of the game for a while, but unfortunately the time has come for me to move on from this rig. I is in essentially the same condition as all photos with all the same mods. The used car market is confusing to say the least, but i am looking for any input from...

    WTB: R150F Flywheel Inspection Plate. (SLC, UT)

    I checked ebay and found nothing. I dont really have any connections at a pick n pull yard, so figured i'd try posting here first. Someone may have one laying around and see this.

    My Daily Driven Turbocharged '97 SR5 5 Speed 4Runner

    I vaguely remember having a quick issue with it but resolving it fast. Maybe it wasnt symetrical and actually had to be flipped to fit correctly. Either way, it fit very good considering all tolerances possible to make it not fit well on a 20 year old truck. The mud flaps are for sure...

    My Daily Driven Turbocharged '97 SR5 5 Speed 4Runner

    Thanks for all the compliments. I have not, it would be exciting to see what it actually puts down. It makes plenty enough power to maintain an 80mph speed limit fully loaded thru some serious mountain grades, and that was my main concern. I'll probably have a 1/4 mile run time before a dyno...

    My Daily Driven Turbocharged '97 SR5 5 Speed 4Runner

    Hello all, I don’t post much here, but figured I’d put it up as it is relatively unique, and might help others looking to do the same. This forum has been of unbelievable help during this build, and i'd love to give back any information i can. It is a 1997 SR5 5-Speed. Purchased two years ago...

    SPC Control Arms GB Closed

    Ordered thru BBO, delivered to my house in 5 business days from payment. Installed and am very pleased, these control arms have great initial quality, even using the factory position for the ABS sensor mounting. Thanks guys.

    Ebay 5vz-fe Turbo

    6 PSI manifold pressure. I would speculate that my setup makes similar power to the average supercharged 10-12 psi 5vz. Note i'm also at around 4500' elevation. At sea level I assume it would run lean, but not certain. Not sure what you mean by " if the juice is worth the squeeze"

    Ebay 5vz-fe Turbo

    I had no intentions of using the stock exhaust at all, i had pre-bought a bunch of 3" piping, resonator, muffler and 3" v band flanges. I bolted up all the hot pipes, drove with an open downpipe for a few days then finished up the rest of the exhaust. I ended up side exiting it to save work &...

    Ebay 5vz-fe Turbo

    Let me enlighten you :) Not much to look at, but was everything i'd hoped for as far as performace. I've had it installed for 20k+ daily driven miles and was fantastically surprised at its fitment for being so inexpensive. I planned to do a write up for the pipes, and entire truck, at some...

    Clutch noise only above 3500 rpm , throw out bearing ??

    Most experienced it AFTER clutch replacement, like yourself. My only theory is that when removing the trans, the input shaft (that goes thru the pilot bearing) somehow gets bent or moved. At low speeds it is not noticable, but when spinning faster (3k rpm +) the out-of-round becomes more...

    Clutch noise only above 3500 rpm , throw out bearing ??

    This seems to be a very common problem on 4runners and tacomas. I've got the exact issue on my 97 5speed, except it was present before and after my marlin crawler clutch install. It seems to be mostly vibrations. In nuetral, with the clutch about 1/2 pressed and revving at 3k+, the clutch...
