Thank you for sharing that thread! It was a fun project but ultimately became a learning lesson on turbo placement. I have more attainable boost plans for my current V8 4Runner but its just not a priority at this moment.
Closeout for this 4Runner
After a long hiatus from posting on the forums I wanted to give a closeout for this project. Through the course of ownership I did quite a few modifications, repairs and a lot of restoration work to make this 4Runner what is was. Some of you probably recognize this...
sorry for the late reply. your best option is going to be placing it in the engine bay. the v6 just does not flow enough to spool for boost in a timely manor that far back. The amount of money I spent to get it to spool with a little lag would have paid for someone to make custom manifolds. My...
another route you can take if you want "new" ones is get a cheap used set of oem ones with cracked or hazy lenses. Then buy a cheap set off ebay or amazon and transfer those lenses over. I just did this and saved a whole lot of money and now I have oem housings with new aftermarket lenses
Thanks for letting them know! I'm not as active on here as I once was. Also site went down in January. Given income from the previous year it didn't make sense to pay for the hosting again. I still make the kits but its been over a month since I shipped the last one. Main reason being is with...

selling the set up
set up works but I'm at a point where I do not have the funds to complete this project and I need to do something different. This project has consumed a lot of aspects of my life for the last 9 months and although its almost done I just do not have the money to finish it. If...
I did but many people have run them with no issues. that being said I am saving up for a name brand one. Injectors are also on the list just not in the build budget at this moment
Already did it! and this unit is only for 6 cylinder engines. they do make an fic-8 which i believe is very similar to this unit but is for 8 cylinder engines. And yes It has a bypass harness that can be plugged in
final touches
Pretty crazy that its now been about 9 months since I started drafting up plans for this project and now the final touches are being done. This project I started with zero literature to go off off for this generation 4runner which made it a big guessing game when it came to...
