COB's 87 4Runner Turbo

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:

Haha, you'd like that, wouldn't you? Thanks again man, can't wait to get this thing on the road!

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.

I bought the Landau Black from The Paint Store in Laguna Niguel. I found them cheaper online though, it may be easier for you than to drive all the way out. The crazy clean I got from work.

This is an awesome build. Good job saving it! I bet its got some nice little pick up with that turbo

Thanks! I'll definitely get some acceleration videos as soon as the motors broken in.

I just read through your whole build. Great work! Glad you saved this beauty from the junkyard.

Thanks!

Lol I see, well I'm glad you kept it. A truck that nice deserves to be saved.

Haha yeah, surprise! Thanks dude.

Truck looks great! Keep up the awesome work and I know who I'm nominating for the next 1st gen t4rotm!!

Haha sweet! Wouldn't that be cool. Thanks man!

Great work James! Soon.... this thing is gonna look just as pristine as your 3rd Gen! :)

Haha modding... the addiction! Oh well, my wallet doesn't need to be full haha
 
You don't need anymore projects, you have no room left in your sig!

And to think, I went to look at a 94 4Runner yesterday. Haha turned it down though.

You're right haha

see if you can check out Jeff Mosk's turbo pickup. may get some ideas off that.

Yeah, Jeff is the same guy who sold me my supercharger (and obviously your header lol). I've talked to him about his truck before. He's got a sweet setup!
 
This is what I like to see. Truck looks great! The 1st gen's look is starting to grow on me. Keep up the good work James!

Trimmed the inside of this intake boot. It was originally two pieces of hose stuck together, but I removed the inner hose and trimmed it back. The diameter of the outer hose fits the CT-26 like a glove. I glued the trimmed piece in using Permatex Ultra Black RTV.

Good ol ziptie-wood battery mount, 3rd gen style. The intake is all done with the exception of refinishing the hardpipe from the turbo to throttle body.

You have to paint the valve cover red, it's good for another 10 horsepower.

If he adds red zip ties to his battery tie down he can get another 10 hp. :boom:

Sorry CoB, I had to! You have a lot of sweep parts put on the runner but you have zip ties holding a block of wood to take up the gap from the smaller battery.
