1985 GREEN 4runner
 

Hey guys, been a minute since ive posted on here. Figured I had better start a thread for thing like I did for my last 2. Purchased in september of 2017, 173k on it at the time. This is my daily driver and only vehicle at the moment. I will try and backlog all stuff I have done over the last couple years

Up next was of course the mandatory american flag decals

Around this time it started to leak oil from the front main seal, so i replaced the oil pump, water pump, sleeved the crank for new front main seal, resealed the oil pan, and replaced a still functional alternator

AC tensioner pully decided it wanted to run away, replaced it and was thankful to have ac again

Could a mod please move this to the build up section? Realized I posted it in the wrong spot!

Fricken excellent!!!

whats the plan on the turbo motor?

Love the color!

Strip it all down, and have the machine shop do its thing. Then I would like to do the rebuild myself. May look at upgrading some components of the head while I am at it. Im thinking ill keep the boost around 7-10psi. Need to decide on an exhaust manifold and turbo and whether or not to intercool it, and a mega squirt system

Sweet, I was wanting to do the convert years ago but never pulled the trigger, came across this page:

A bit dated but good info:)

sweet man, ride is killer!!! Can’t wait to see some turbo!!

Thanks for that info! Some good stuff in there for sure. I have a feeling the turbo will be on the backburner for a little bit. Right now the 4runner is down. I broke it when I was starting the gauge swap and a bit ashamed of myself for it. I will post some pics and let you guys try and figure it out!

Shouldn't be too hard to ezi-out that butt.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. BUTT the problem is its location. It is close enough to the frame I cannot fit a drill there, and had no luck with a 90 degree adapter either.

Shouldn't need to drill it. Just gotta have the exactly correct ezi-out.

I like the Proto square type extractor for work like this. I've even used the tang of an old file, ground just right.
