no, no emissions here. good to hear you are running ok. does it throw a cel or any other side effects?

also i have elvot's thread bookmarked.

RobD

For me to have a CEL, I'd actually have to have the light wired

Never got around to that part of the swap.

Been running fine for almost 3 years (August 20th-ish 2007) with over 114 500 kms (71,500 miles) on it, and no problems.

i've... i've already gone to the to the forced induction side on my swap.

INFINITY

sure would be nice.

INFINITY

put the new timing belt, water pump, thermostat on last night. tonight going to work on finishing the wiring and welding up the rad support and front frame sections (cracks and separation from over time of driving mainly dirt roads).

I taped my diagrams together like you did. makes it a lot easier!

INFINITY

doing the oil pan/ pickup/dipstick/rear main/oil pressure gauge sender now.
for the alt lower bracket i used the factory 3.0 one. then for my oil pressure sending unit i used a 90 deg brass elbow then screwed it on so that it would not interfere with the alt bracket.
wiring is mostly done with exception for the small stuff, road lights, e-fan, dash switches, etc...
hopefully it starts up and runs good. down to 6 nights to finish before we need the truck for bear season (with hounds) here.

INFINITY

well down to 2 days left. motor is in and runs. need to do exh, put bed on, hood scoop, and other small things. but SHE IS ALIVE!!
time for sleep. i will post up more picts when i have some time.
for the power steering pressure hose i did use the tacoma one. i have a small hand held tubing bender and just straightened and rebent.

jskijoe

big CONGRATS!! That's a great feeling. I look forward to hearing about the first drive

INFINITY

done and done. will post up some picts later on. right now it works BUT has a high idle when warm? any ideas.

check your throttle cable and make sure its not too tight. I had to bend the braket a bit to get the cable loose.

INFINITY

the idle went down, i had the heater core closed and got a air bubble. idle is great now and has tons of power.



more picts to come

INFINITY

a recent one while on a lion hunt last month.

YOTAARMYGUY

Lion hunt?? In Arizona? Or is a "Lion hunt" something other than what I am thinking it is? What does your oil pressure gauge read after it has warmed up??

P.S. She is looking great!!!

INFINITY

yea mountain lion (bear hunting with dogs here in az is only in the fall). cant remember what the oil pressure reads when it is at operating temp but i will try to remember to make a mental note of it and re-post it later.

INFINITY

oh yea dont know if anyone noticed that i cut the top of the T off of the toyota emblem. i like it, it looks like a bull head.

INFINITY

sorry been awhile. using the 94 gauges and 3.0 sending unit on the 3.4 block the gauge warmed up idling reads between the low and first slack mark.

hamish_18

oh good. soo does mine lol. I wish the gauge would show a little more pressure, but oh well.

INFINITY

new bumper. not bad for the first time building a tube bumper and using a bender.
