Hello Yotatech! new member with new(to me) 86 pickup

86Intercooled · 12-20-2008, 08:13 PM

Hey this is my first post. I've looked around this great site for awhile and used the mass of information you all have collected here to make my first Toyota purchase.

It's a 1986 shortcab pickup 4x4 my friend used as a farm truck. He did a bit of work to it on the lawn, swapped in a 22RTE 5spd from a 87 4runner(I got the parts vehicle too), custom front bar holding in the intercooler, ridding on 33X12.5R15, and the digital gauge cluster. Shes still pretty dirty from my test drive due to the cold weather, needs a lot of love but thats why I bought her. Let me know what you guys think.

Got a chance to get some photos with the sun out today.

As you see I got most of the dash apart, looking foward to do some wiring tonight. Also have some brake parts and a CTS on order.

Way cool Man!! Is the IC from a Volvo??

Looks great! I can't wait to get my bigger turbo and Intercooler installed too

Thanks!
Yeah the intercoolers out of a Volvo, very common model Volvo in fact a friend of mine has stacks of the thing and it fits pretty well. However I believe I'm running the stock C-20(i think) turbo and it gets up in goes, just adding the IC dropped the intake air temp by about 35F... Seems much healthier considering the output pipe from turbo almost burns your skin on touch and the pipe to the intake is almost outside temp. I might upgrade the turbo much later but for now I'm taking care of the odds and ends that was left over from the swap.(power antenna doesn't motor, dash lights turn off when headlights are in use, dome light wiring, no heating ducts, hazard light switch doesn't work, odds and ends like that) Gotta start tearing apart the 4 runner for some things. Might need some real yotatechs to throw me some help with this one

I'm really looking foward to seeing what I can do with this thing.

Looks like you have a job ahead of you on that interior...But other then that looks great...Good luck

nice might wanna try and protect the intercooler from branches.. could ruin your wheeling day!

im thinking about mounting a intercooler on my surf... ill have to look at volvo ones!

Thanks!
Yea the trucks long from trail ready so the IC is very exposed at the moment. Like I said it's been a farm truck for awhile so a spare intercooler was always close by lol. I plan on a full custom bar and cage setup in future, really cover the thing. Here is the tag from my IC, not sure if it'll help your search.

Thanks for the input guys!
