Lets see an injected 302 from a 94 f150,SAS using an 83 axle with 86 LC knuckles and brakes, front LC leaf springs, welded rear diff. And probably other stuff I cant even remember. I have owned the truck for 14 years. I am currently looking for an early 90s 4runner to build so my wife and kids can go with me. I love your rides. I was checking out your photos last nite with my two oldest boys. They were drooling over the pics as well.

Completely factory f150 injection. I spent about three days in my living room with the wiring going I need this one dont need this wire. She fired up on the first try. Of course being an ASE certified tech for 12 years doesnt hurt. Unfortunately I can only work on my own stuff now due to having a couple of vertebrae fused in my back. The old saying holds true" You play you pay" but oh well. Thats why I join these clubs to try to help others. I see you said you work for Toyota.

so you are remote mounting the turbo for the 3vze?
I have been sitting on a garrett T3/4 waiting to get the plumbing figured out.
I cant find a way to make it fit under the hood without some magor heat and or room problems.
any suggestions would be great.
I had originally thought of trying to fit in between the rad. and the timing cover..then I thought to myself that a remote mount might be good...lots of room(secure room) where I would remove the muffler, snorkel the rear and frsh air to the unit then the plumbing it to the front became a problem as it looks as if I will need to cut the inner fender well(pas. side) and wrap through the opening betwen the rad and timing and then into the intake, leaving the maf where it is primarily already at.
Just scared...after 211,000 miles could my poor 3slow take it...
I am still considering it maybe 4-6 psi
I wanted to snorkel the back for fresh air and plumb to the front.
If there were just a BIT more room under the lid on my rig it would be fine
