Well I finally figured out why my truck was not running correctly. It wasn't anything to do with the AFR, turned out I had a bad knock sensor. I used paperclips in the harness to "switch" bank sensors...and the bad sensor followed the code. On that note, I got it running correctly and my truck...

I talked to my local Toyota shop who wanted $240 per knock sensor. He said there was a bunch of Chinese made knockoffs that were also copying the package. I ordered these from McGeorge Toyota Online Parts. Just wanted to post pics to see what real sensors look like. They'd better not be...

I am WAY late to this party. I installed my 1st gen supercharger, URD six 305cc and PCU injector setup 13 years ago. Apparently my truck is a 49 state without EGR. The URD current website say's they recommend the 7th injector for non-EGR. Don't have any software or A/F sensing equipment. Just...

You probably know that LC Engineering sells springs for cams. I did not see cams for sale on their site (or know about Colt cams during rebuild). Hopefully your leakdown test will indicate bad valves on that one cylinder. Then maybe you can just do the heads and replace the springs. Of...

First, were you able to actually get a torque wrench on your headers? I was not..only some and had to guess. I did notice after my rebuild, I had to crank down the cross pipe a few turns. They told me like 25 ft/lbs when installed it (Doug Thorley). Second, I guess I need to figure out how you...

I recently had my truck stumbling and it turned out to be a coil pack. That was easy since you can just swap them around. Now my only code is a P0330 just like yours. To figure out if it was a knock sensor (harness is new), I unplugged it up by the intake manifold. Used a hairclip/paperclip...

Been a LONG time but I saw my ECU today. It doesn't look like the knock sensor wires are used in the PCU. I used hair clips with paper clips taped together. Connected them on the main wiring harness. Put the paper clip in in the knock sensor harness but CROSSED the wires. Code went from P0330...

Did you swap it out yourself? Transmission is a bit of a pain. What did you do with the old motor? I have determined my problem is a knock sensor. I disconnected at the harness, used hair clips and paperclips, and crossed the wires going to bank1/bank2. Code went from PO330 to PO325 which...

I've discovered I have a P0330 knock sensor code. Nothing to do with my mechanical rebuild :( Going to replace both knock sensors (already did harness) and verify I have continuity to the ECU. However, the URD PCU is a question. Not sure if I had to solder up any knock sensor wire thirteen...

I took it to a guy to read codes. He was kind of a jerk so I won't be going back..however I got a B1S1 sensor (which I just replaced). Crawled under today and found out it was disconnected. Verified 12V on the heater portion. Also read the resistance but it was 8 ohms. Dude say's it should be...

I've finally finished my rebuild but it's not running correctly. It's kind of surging like when your timing get's retarded. Not exactly sure what to do on the electronics side of things. Heads were completely rebuilt with new valves, guides, seals. Bored .020 over with 9:1 pistons. Other than...

I have a 5VZ that made it to 303k miles. Approximately 160k of those miles were with a supercharger, 2.2" pulley and the 305cc six injector plus PCU setup from URD. Near the end of it's life, I for sure had ping and problems with a constant check engine light. I pulled the motor and discovered...

I'm just getting started on my rebuild. 97 4Runner had 310k on supercharged motor. Supercharger has recently been rebuilt. I opted to go with 9:1 CR forged pistons because I found pinched rings when I pulled the motor. As for the motor, it already has the old 315cc injectors/URD box...

Those rims fit no problem with the brakes.

I just emailed an eBay vendor about the 16x8 trail team knockoffs. Probably just going to pull the trigger and order them. Just installed 231mm Tundra (Stop Tech) upgrade today and my stock rims don't fit.
