James, you wash the outside of your car after you go wheeling, why is that any different:lmao:
Besides you have the supercharger now, you need to show it off to the VTEC fags. You should paint the valve cover all black and then paint the toyota logo JDM red. LOL!!
So once you put in the new injectors and get a nice tune, what are you looking at boosting, like 8 or 9 lbs?
haha idk, it's just tedious. Something always manages to get wet that shouldn't be wet. Last time I washed my engine bay out (being very careful), some water got in one of the spark plug holes. I just blew it out with an air compressor, but it was misfiring for a little and I was worried.
But yeah... it will just get dirty again anyway. That valve cover idea sounds cool, lol. I probably would just make it black and sand the surface of the Toyota logo to give it a brushed look... but I like taking off my valve cover about as much as I like to chew glass.
Decided to go the route of 4 injectors rather than a 5th. It just makes more sense that way. I'm thinking 10 PSI should be fine
That's about as far as I'm willing to push the Eaton M62.
Nice work! Jay sure is a good friend to have, isn't he? Wish I could have come down to help, but it was a no go this weekend for me. Makes me want to SC mine so bad, but my damn wallet said no for now.
Your wallet may have said no... but only for now
Apparently the 5VZ install is much less intensive. I'd love to see your truck with a blower on it. I bet it would be even crazier with the gears you've got and the fresh rebuild. Glad to have a guy like Jay to help. You guys are both pretty awesome dudes.
>I'm just happy you were able to make a deal with the guy.
Well...as the guy who sold the SC to COB, let me just say he was a standup guy and concluded the deal well ahead of the schedule we had agreed on. Now that I'm done with it I'm very glad the SC has found its way to such a deserving home.
Enjoy it, but try to keep your right foot in check until you get the fuel mods done.
Cheers,
Jeff
Yes sir. Fuel mods are next. I was thinking about buying your FTC/Injector set up that you used, but I believe you said it was a 1998 specific kit. Let me know if it's usable on my setup, you're a pleasure to do business with. I do appreciate the opportunity.
I have been following this thread and I am glad to see you got the SC running! Looks like it was a good amount of effort for sure. I am glad it all worked out.
I really like everything you have done with the rig so far. Especially the rear bumper.
Next time I am in Mission Viejo I will have to hit you up. I could really use some help adjusting my steering rack if that is possible. I think you live < 1mi from my parents.
That's cool, PM me next time you're planning to head up. Thanks for the compliments, dude. I'm always excited to see new trucks. Not sure what I can do with the steering rack depending on what's in need of adjustment.
While successful, driffter and I were working on a strict time limit and had to finish the truck before a deadline. Because of such, we had to just get the truck working and not worry about fit and finish.
This morning when I went to start the truck, I got a check engine light.
I went to work and removed the intake, throttle body, and cleaned up the wiring by rerouting it to above the intake plenum. I also replaced the 2 lower throttle body bolts for some 5mm longer grade 8 bolts that had better bite with the threads. The old ones were too short with the added teflon gasket.
Double checked all of the vacuum lines, all of the sensor/injector plugs, and mounted the DLC1 OBD connector/EGR Modulator in their Toyota recommended spots.
No problems as of yet, everything's going well.
