COB's 87 4Runner Turbo

Haha yeah, the truck is coming along great though!

Todays progress. Got an Innovate MTX-L wideband. Going to order a 7M-GTE Ct-26 stainless braided oil line kit and work it onto the 22R-TE

Got rid of the coolant hard pipe that runs behind the turbo. Going to reroute a new coolant hose around the alternator and straight into the radiator.

The rig is coming along great. I replaced the IAC hose with 12mm silicone hose yesterday. I also had a bent 22RE aluminum radiator on the side of my house. It's damaged from a wreck but I'm going to fix it up and see if I can run it.

Also got my stainless steel lines figured out for the CT26. I didn't want to use the OEM lines, nor did I want to buy a 7M-GTE stainless line kit and risk fitment troubles.

1x CT26 Oil Drain/Feed Flange, -4 AN feed and -10AN drain
1x 22R-TE Oil Return Flange 1/2" NPT Boss
1x Earl's Performance -4 AN to 12mm x 1.25 Male adapter for feed line (EAR-9919BFFERL)
1x Earl's Performance Swivel-Seal hose end, -10 AN to 1/2" NPT, Oil drain hose to block flange (EAR-829010ERL)
1x Earl's Performance Swivel-Seal hose end, -10 AN to -10 AN Female, Oil drain to oil drain hose
2x Earl's Performance Speed-Seal hose end, -4 AN to Female, feed line ends
-4 AN Earl's Performance Stainless Steel braided hose
-10 AN Summit Racing Stainless Steel braided hose
 
Got my block flange for the oil drain. Just waiting on the feed line now.

Made a video of the truck in it's current state. Wanted to have something to compare to when it finally starts.

Took the turbo back out to set up the coolant lines.

Removed a block off plate from the water pump line side of the turbo and going to use the CT20 lines.

I have my oil lines ready to go.

Also got this outlet flange from Suprasport. I don't like how the wastegate is blocked with the other flange.

Going to try to install a coolant return on the aluminum rad.

Today I had some time to work on the truck. Started by figuring out the cooling situation. First, the heater core was bypassed for replacement at a later date. 5/8" hose from back of block to the middle coolant hose. The middle coolant hose was also cut in half to soon accommodate a flexible lower radiator hose (coolflex).

Stock radiator versus free aluminum radiator. Only difference is the coolant line for the turbo.

My friend John gave me an aluminum radiator fitting. He has a lathe that was able to trim the threads off the back and drill out the center to a larger size.

I found a welder named Jaime through a radiator shop. I have a feeling I'll be visiting him again soon.

Stainless lines are done. Turbo coolant lines are done also.

Intake pipe had to be modified to work with the CT26. The CT20 turbo had a 2 bolt flange to bolt to the intake pipe, instead of a clamped coupler. I cut off the end flange from the intake pipe and will refinish after fitment is perfected. Installed on CT26 using a silicone elbow coupler (2", 45 degrees) EDIT: I had to change to a 60 degree coupler, 45 was not enough

The battery is back in, the truck has power. Engine filled with oil. There isn't much left before starting.

To do list:
Figure out where some plugs go, 3 danglers
2 upper bell housing bolts
drop and clean fuel tank
lower radiator hose
trim turbo inlet boot to fit CT26
install airbox
Mazda transmission cooler (radiator bypass)


And then, after it's running:

TruckPillars gauge pillar pod
install innovate mtx-l
custom downpipe using CT26 outlet flange, LC weld on O2 sensor flange, and Bosch wideband O2 bung.

And then hopefully SMOG (and brakes... and install the tires)

haha well I do want a 2nd gen 2 door to do this with... if I ever do it, I'd love to help you get a swap done.

Don't bank on it being soon haha :bigok:

Oh. Don't worry, it would be a little ways down the road yet. I'm getting a few worn out parts replaced, finally thinking about fixing the rest of my flop damage, and adding some armor. Engine work would be next year.

What Pick a part yard do you go to, btw?

Sounds like fun! Dude, the yards over here are LOADED with 2nd gens. I go to the Pick Your Part yards in Anaheim and Stanton, barely a block from each other. I don't know what other damage you may have from that flop, but if it's removable, there's tons there!

Also happens to be the place that I bought this truck, right in the parking lot.
 
Hell yeah! I'm glad you got that thing going in such short time, sourcing all those parts from every corner in the world can be frustrating...you jumped in like a champ. Now break it in real nice and send it on back home to daddy.:cool:
 
Another question. Where did you pick up the Crazy Clean and the SEM Landau Black. I've been thinking about doing a black interior, and that color looks perfect.
