MTD's ForeRunner Build - Narrated by Jeremy Clarkson & James May

[MTD]

SC would be nice! I wanted on the list of needs before going to AZ in a couple months but it didn't pass. Lol

Lol it's nice. Paired with the manual it is downright fun! The only thing is that I wish I knew how many miles it had on it, but since it was "free", lol, with the truck it is what it is I guess haha.

 

[MTD]

Ahhh, fack!!!! I guess my build caught oversized pictureitus! lol whoops, a job for another day I reckon.

 

[MTD]

One guess per person first one to get the answer correct gets a +1

What is this going to mount and where?

 

[snivilous]

To the supercharger manifold to line up with something else

nope haha smaller and in the cab is the only hint I am giving.

 

[shootmymime]

Scan gauge A pillar mount. 3d printer?

 

[SantaCruzRunner]

custom gauge pod?

Both of you are pretty right it is a mount for the Ultra Gauge. and yep it will be 3d printed, pretty much no other way to make it haha.

My guess .... it's a mount for this type of device

So I didn't have class today after 11 so I strated to prep for expo. One of my halos had died and when I contacted TRS they told me they didnt make the amber ones any longer soooo they sent me the new XBLED Switchbacks which are pretty darn neat! After I got those guys all swapped in I kept the ball rolling and got a ton done:

• Swap in new halos
• Rewire fogs
• Wire my 700FF's
• Wire wideband
• weld in wideband O2 bung (This was a ***** and a half...)

I did find that one of my coilovers is leaking though and I will have to try to address that before expo which is not going to be small task for my pocket book or my patience.

How's the wide band working? I enjoy mine.
As for the coil over. I find it much more enjoyable rebuilding one than crawling around the truck wiring and installing things. (Btw I'm not a big person so moving is easy compared to others)
You can just stand in one spot and rebuilt it on a work bench.

Plus knowing and seeing how suspension components are fun to learn about.

I took a short run around the block and it works great. I guess what I mean is that it didn't tell me that I was running lean lol. It actually confirmed my hypothesis that I only run lean at low boost on a high gear, at low rpm. For now that is easily corrected by how I drive since I have a manual. At WOT I saw numbers fro 11.6-12.0 which is a little lean but overall not too shabby.

As for the coilovers there is now way I would have time to rebuild them before expo. I have finals the week after next and I wouldn't get the stuff in the mail before this weekend. I am looking into having a local shop do it if I just bring them the parts. We will see idk where I am getting it done yet though so who knows I may still have to do it.

Wow wow wow what? You didn't have to do any tuning to your pre loaded map and your on the stock pulley. And your getting 11.6-12.0 at wot?

I'm still baffled why mine needed so much tuning right out of the box.

Yep I have no tuning done yet. It honestly could be a number of things. Keep in mind that I only have 90k on my Runner and it has been meticulously maintained its whole life. Idk I'd look at your fuel pressure and possibly change your filter?

 

[shootmymime]

No my problem is not fuel pressure it's has to do with my map and that boost pressure going into my urd. It's just not reading it correctly. With the stock pulley I should be reading around 5 psi where as I'm lucky if it reaches 3.5 from the URD display. That means it's not going into enough boost to turn on the injector.

Please make one for a scangauge.. I'll GLADLY pay good money for a pillar mount for it

Well I may sell these for the ultra gauge, but I do not have ScanGauge to design from so I don't think I will be able to do that. If you ever get an Ultra Gauge though I will be selling them lol.
