Well guys I sold the 4runner. It was time for a full size truck. It was a blast building this build. I still have my wife's 4th gen so I'm in the 4runner club still and I didn't leave the Toyota family. Thanks for all the 4runner help. Got myself a 2010 platinum tundra. This build will be...

It's custom made. Got the mesh from custom car grills.

Haha thanks man! It's got a new look now but I do kinda miss this look. It was very transformer looking. It's still got some of that look.

Yea I know right. All this because of one turn to much on the wrench.

Yea those are the places I've looked. Thanks for the compliment! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At first it was. Think I narrowed it down to a cracked valve cover. I guess I'll have to tear it down for the 4th time to change those guys out. Anyone know where to get new valve covers cheap? 120 a piece is what I've seen so far

Could be. But it does it at idle. I haven't even got it out of the garage cause it smokes so bad. Hopefully that's not meaning bigger problems ha

I can't get these valve covers to stop leaking for anything. I've changed the gaskets, even put some of the grey sealant on them? Drops straight to the exhaust and smokes like crazy? I'm so tired of it. I can't even drive the thing. Anyone have any advice or ideas?

Valve cover gaskets, half moons, cam plugs, and injectors are in process. Taking it slow and give the whole engine bay a good cleaning. Hopefully I can actually drive this thing with the turbo without some kind of leak. Next will be a walbro fuel pump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks man! Yea I can't ever find time to get out to meets either. One day I'll get to some. Congrats on the son. Maybe we can go ride one of these days

Rig is looking good as always Man! It's been a while since I've seen you around any of the 4runner sites. Glad you still have it and still working on it. Hope all is well man!

You and me both man. I've got a good amount of things to do before it'll see a dyno but I would really like to see some numbers

Thanks man!

I couldn't tell you exact numbers. I haven't had it dynod yet. The guy that had the kit before me said that he got close to 305 hp. I'm not sure how close I am as I have a different turbo than he did. But I'd say I'm close. The power is very noticeable

I got it running a while back I forgot to post on here. I hit 8lbs at one point and it was starving for more fuel. Next is injectors,fuel pump and hopefully a piggyback so I can tune it. Even with stock injectors, just running colder plugs and premium fuel the power is very noticeable...
