This is what it looks like trying to see out the back without the camera.

So after three years being turbocharged the Mocal scavenge pump started leaking oil pretty bad. Installed a gear pump, it's louder but it should last longer than the diaphragm pump did.
 
did you ever get that torque converter lockup working? id be really interested in seeing your rig sometime ever since I got my 02 ive been battling with the torque converter.

No, after I saw how weak the lockup part of the converter looked I decided not to try and abuse it. If I go out on the highway I just turn the paddle shift off so the stock computer will manage it and lock it up.

my main thing is I want it to lock up around 40 miles an hour for when Im cruising in the city, It would make the fuel economy better mainly. also can it lock in 1st and second gear?
 
Getting closer to rounding up all the stuff I need to turbo the 4runner. Have most of the exhaust done just need to fit it and hang it.

I have questions!!!!!

I need all the information on that exhaust pipe :)? like.... white size pipe did you use, the size of the nut for the o2 sensor. and the flange for the turbo to mount to. is that just a manifold flange welded to this pipe? how long is the pipe?

going for a t3/t4 internally gated turbo with a .60 ar. what size is your compressor ar and about when do you see a response from the turbo in your on road driving?

i'd be interested in buying a pipe like yours if you were gonna be fabbing and selling these things... let me know if you guys can or not.

2.5" pipe

Amazon.com: T3 Turbo Manifold Flange w/ Gasket: Automotive
I'm using a similar size turbo and it starts making boost around 1500rpmm
I don't remember how long the pipe was, it will vary depending on where you cut yours off at. Sorry, but I don't have the time to build one at the moment, but an exhaust shop could in a couple minutes.

Thanks :) ill visit the local shop to see about having it done pretty soon. They do good work. And you haven't had any problems with noise complaints running without a muffler have you?

Nope. I removed the cat too, so the turbocharger is the only sound muffling there is. You can tell in this video it isn't extremely loud.

Sounds great! Love the brake boosting launch through a mud pit lmao! :lmao::lmao:
 
would you ever consider selling your paddle shifter mod? I bet that a few people would be interested in buying it as a package.
 
Testing out a roof rack mounted camera for our adventures. Didn't quite make it up the first try, but got it on the second.
