My 4 year old loved my truck over moms outback for that reason. She could see the road so much better.

I’d love to see some data on how much efficiency/energy is gained from that. In principle that makes sense though. Curious how the temperature on the compressor side is disconnected from the turbine side? Just because the connection between the two sides isn’t that bulky and heat soak isn’t...

That doesn't really clear it up for me, unless my understanding on the physics of turbos is really off. The turbo isn't anymore efficient with more heat, I'd wager it's less because that's a higher heat transfer to your incoming air, making it less dense and require cooling before putting it...

Yes….the question was what do you think someone would be willing to pay since I was trying to sell it, lol

Lol, no worries man, I really thought about it and tried to figure out a way to justify it to my wife, it just wasn’t in the cards. The good news is I love tinkering and upgrading, and as my kids get older my plan is to buy something else and make them help me tinker and upgrade so they can...

I don’t understand what you’re trying to do with the heat? Usually you want to limit your heat input, which is an advantage of the rear mount (ie no need for an intercooler). You would be running your oil lines significantly shorter, which could be an advantage just from a build logistics...

Listed it for 12, managed to get 10. Kind of a sad day, I put a lot of time and energy in to that truck working to make it awesome, oh how kids change things. Lol

It has been an awesome truck, and the vehicle I’ve owned longest in my life, I’ve had very little issues with it. I’ll be really sad to watch it pull away because I’ve put a ton of time and energy in it and have some really good memories in it. I play contractor Dave a lot on weekends, and the...

Hi all! Getting ready to sell my 4Runner (still need to get it cleaned up), and I need some help figuring out what to price it at. It’s a 97 with the 3.4 paired to a manual transmission. It has a rear mount turbo with internal waste gate set to 7psi. I did the LC/tundra lift on bilstien...

I’ve been thinking of reracking my exhaust some and dropping the muffler. I don’t make boost quite as early/quickly as I would like to. I’m hypothesizing that the bend I had to put in the exhaust between the cat and the muffler, coupled with the turbo flange being flush mounted to the pipe is...

I concur with what manualDR said. I worked most of Saturday and a portion of Sunday on it. It is worth the 100 bucks from harbor freight to get a tranny jack (you might be able to rent one from autozone). I remember fighting the transmission a lot to get everything lined back up and pushed...

I was thinking of listing it around 5k. I’m concerned that it’s too much, but not sure

No grains needed, that’s the type of feedback I’m looking for. The only cost to undo it is the time to unbolt everything and put the stock stuff back on. I will say though, it’s pretty basic, the only catastrophic failure I can really foresee is from pushing 7psi through a motor with 265k on it.

So at some point in the next year or so, I think I’m gonna be selling my 4Runner (gotta get the mr2 sold first). I’ve been reluctant to for years because I love driving stick, and there’s not many newer options, but I’m warming up to the idea of losing a pedal and buying a tundra. Anyways...

Yeah, I got the TB gasket and the IAC gasket replaced. Holding boost much better. Still not holding pressure perfect, but it takes like 20-25 seconds to leak down completely. The manifold gaskets seem to be holding ok.
