Clownmeat's build thread

[t4r4life]

are you for real man.... please tell me you are joking...

i dont know what gen is that nissan but i raced my buddies stock 2nd gen frontier and got smoked, and thats when i was running smaller tires. turs out hes packing 265 ponies :wow2: but if it was the crappy 3.3 then 4runner will win for sure.

 

[steezemcqueen]

That would be the 3.3. The supercharged version makes just over 200hp (stock). Clownmeats runner is gonna destroy it unless that Nissan has some serious upgrades

 

[Clownmeat]

Didn't notice any major upgrades except the blue oil cap, but that's only like 10 horsepower.

Either I'm a slow reader or, yeah that's a long thread! 30 pages=4 Yuenglings. Very intrigued by the amount of engineering that went into "simple" sounding mods. I understand it all but all my poor rig has gotten as of late is hammers!

Please tell me you have and external trans cooler. I didn't see one in any pics. If your gonna be hammering on the converter like in the vids brake boosting and pulling that much power at low RPM you NEED a cooler.

OR.... check out my http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/105258-5spd-swap-here-goes-nuthin.html result of not having an external cooler.

Get a snorkel! I have a Safari end on mine but it's rounded.

Overall I like it man. 7psi is safe, 250hp is nice in a rig this heavy, the paddle shifters and train horns are ahhhh, but please get that thing on a dyno. I'd like to see the torque curve. Good luck man and keep up the nice work:thanks:

Gonna go run 'em.

Look at the Nissan's exhaust, thats like a 3inch pipe.

Look at the Nissan's exhaust, thats like a 3inch pipe.

those are just the tips, other than that, it looks like maybe a 2" pipe...

 

[Clownmeat]

No video, but the poor Nissan didn't have a chance.

 

[zgensler31]

thank you clownmeat. my brother has a bone stock 2011 xterra that hes always running his mouth about. its always great to find ammo for the discussion. so thank you for smoking a nissan.

 

[Clownmeat]

Getting closer. Got the box, LED's, and dimmer mounted. Just need to hunt down the wires for the solenoids and the paddles.

 

[Clownmeat]

Looks like I need some fuel too.

 

[tbst]

And whats going on with your trip odometer? That is one LONG mile.

 

[ottawavalleyboy]

This looks awfully tempting....looks like I'll be cutting a hole in the bed of my Taco soon!

 

[Clownmeat]

Closer. Got the paddles hooked up to the controller, just need to hook it to the shift solenoids and it will finally be done.

[HCurphy]

well done sir. I just watched that video on YT, then came over here and watched it again. I procrastinate way to much...

 

[Clownmeat]

Thanks, just hope it doesn't light on fire or something and actually shifts gears like it's supposed to.

^ what goes through every tuner's head before they try something they created for the first time. lol

 

[Clownmeat]

True. I think if anything would have lit on fire yet it would have come from the turbo build. The paddle shift stuff is much safer in that respect.

 

[Clownmeat]

Picked up a switch to change from paddle or ECM controlled shifting.

 

[4Running Daily]

You couldn't have found a cooler switch then that?
