my supercharged 4runner. headers full ex. 10psi. water meth injection

All my wiring is completely done fuze box and relays. I even added a led strobe that will strobe my rigid industries duallys when I run the hazards. I tapped into the wire that controls the driver side turn signal and that goes to a relay that powers the duallys. I have the relay ground switched so my duallys will not strobe when I use my left turn signal.

Here is a video of the rigid indutries duallys strobeing with the hazards. My hazards flash faster than normal because all 4 bulbs are led so the car thinks bulbs are burnt out and it flashes faster.

Wow, no kidding. I think you're likely to cause someone to have a seizure with that, lol.

Finally got stuck that day lol I was doing this all day till I hit this steep drop I left it idling for about 45 minutes dip stick was barely above the water. Water damage was broken driver window switch, barking brake light is still on, no odometer, broken 02 sensor and a broken head light bulb. Still drove it home 200 mile Road trip.

And people still wonder about our fascination with 4Runners? This a great example why I've driven nothing but 4Runners for 20 years and I know I'll drive them another 40 years!

Cool build on the S/C system, too! Nicely done, man.

Some little things I have done recently. I added a push lock AN fitting to my boost/vacuum manifold since I'm always constantly having to remove my supercharged for maintenance and mods. I always kept have to cut the hose to remove it from the barb fittings. I also had 2 more mounting bungs welded to my radiator they will be used later on down the road for more support. And here's a pic of the intake my running now it's a 20$ intake from eBay.

So I relocated my fuel pressure regulator today, while I was at it I decided to convert the rubber vacuum line connections to a quick disconnect hard plastic line for a cleaner look and easier removal maintenance.

Bought 2 an push lock fittings today for the catch can still working on all the little tid bits to clean up the engine bay. Here's a after and before pic.

 

[dunebashing toyota]

Well since the 4runner is broken and I have tried everything to fix the knock sensor problems but no luck. I have nothing else to work on so I'm still cleaning up the look of the engine bay. I switched out the stainless steal braided hose for a black nylon braided hose I think this blackoone looks much cleaner.

I am addicted to AN fittings! !! Lol those huge AN fittings are -20 AN fittings to replace the top radiator hose. I will post some more pics when I make the hoses and some pics of them installed.

 

[dunebashing toyota]

Made a hose today I think it looks way better than the red hose I was using before!

20AN must've cost a couple bucks :wow:

I see you like upgrading hoses but did you get this thing running?

yes i did i got some oem knock sensors off a 4runner at the junk yard and now it runs perfect. But when i was changing the knock sensors i also found out my aftermarket fuel pressure regulator was throwing fuel into the vacuum line. So i dont know if it was the knock sensors or the fuel pressure regulator causing the problems.

 

[JayRolla]

Sounds like it was the FPR. If its leaking into vacuum then it cant see the pressure so it dont raise fuel pressure 1:1 with manifold pressure causing a lean AFR and detonation. Glad you got her going.

So its barley June and it's already in the hundreds today it was 108 as always I'm modifying thing's to help reduce heat. Here is my high flow grill it came off a 2001 4runner from the junk yard. I cut out the inside portion of the grill with some wire cutters it was pretty easy. I'm still going to make a stencil of the Toyota emblem and paint it on my transmission cooler the one seen in the pics. I will post some pics soon off the painted Toyota emblem.

Some crazy big hood spacers I made at work today. It took about an hour on the lathe I'm still going to polish them later. The hood sticks up so much it looks like I was in a car accident lol. I can't wait to test it out and see how much heat vents out. Also some pics of the new grill painted black.

Some more pics

We have shimmed the rear of the hoods on a lot of cars with really no change in hood temp.

 

[dunebashing toyota]

Not looking to lower hood temp trying to lower intake temps my headers get ridiculously hot. I should have header wrapped them.
