Loud Runner's project

Can I just say this is probably one of the best looking 3rd gens I have seen. Great looking truck and keep the pictures coming!

:cheer2:
 

Nice build! Too bad my runner had been down for a while and I wasn't visiting the forum a lot last year... could have met up and compared trucks since I lived down around San Jose (now moved up around Sacramento area).

Anyway, I was hoping you'd comment about your dyno results. They seem pretty low to me based on everything you've done.

For comparison, I'm supercharged w/ 2.2 pulley, 7th injector, tuned, doug thorley headers and exhaust. manual trans.
I have a dyno printout (on a dynojet like yours) from when the headers and exhaust were installed at thorley and WITHOUT supercharger the numbers were 156hp 190tq STOCK and increased to 167hp and 200tq w/ headers and exhaust.
This seems to jive w/ the 5vz rated 190hp 220tq (at flywheel) and the typical ~15ish% drivetrain loss.

So, either your motor isn't tuned as aggressively as it could be, or maybe there is a problem with your motor or charger? Or do you think there could be that much variation w/ dyno readings and yours just read super low at the time?
What psi are you hitting when WOT on boost?

Thanks! I would have loved to compare runners, I'll let you know if I head to Sacramento anytime. Anyways, I threw a check engine light for the fuel system running to lean after that dyno run. The dyno run was done with a bad nose cone and a backwards pulley. There was less oil in the charger then needed as well. Since replacing the nose cone I had it re-tuned and it put out 220hp and about 250 tq to the rear wheels. My trd gauge was reading 7psi of boost but the dyno had it at 9psi at WOT (4th gear 5000rpm 120mph). I asked the shop to email the updated dyno sheet but they never got around to it.

Wow. T4R of the year worthy, if you ask me. Such good quality work and one of the cleanest rigs ever.

Thank you very much guys! Currently planning some off roading events, more pics to come.

Until then, I haven't mounted the tire swing out or put my CB antenna back on yet but I just mounted the Shrockworks rear bumper last night. Plates are 3/16" HPR&O Steel.

 
My primary battery finally died after 7 years. It has been in all 3 of my 4runners. Ordered the same AGM battery, put her in the other night (Stinger SPP1200). I have the SPP1700 isolated in the rear of my 4Runner as well.

My Isolated rear battery:


Stinger 500amp battery isolator:


New primary battery:


 
Tundra Calipers 231mm

I did the Tundra Brake Upgrade! I went with remanufactured 231mm calipers and oem rotors, pads, and shims. I also added the Wheelers off-road front brake lines because mine were shot.



 
Recent Hollister Hills OHV Trip.
New steering rack and tie rod ends made the 4runner steer much better, less play in the wheel. Tundra brakes are working great, no issues.
