Doomys 87 Turbo 4runner Build thread
EDIT:
This first post has been restructured to provide a better outline on where the runner currently is. The original post in this thread has been moved a few posts down. This build will be broken into 5 different stages, hopefully being completed in order. If a part pops up for a price thats fair enough, I my get it anyways.

Congrats.
Gooooood luck. |
Picked this up the other day for $800. previous owner just dumped a ton of money into it chasing a blown head gasket he didnt know he had. anyways, its an '87 4runner SR5 Turbo. 176K miles with auto trans.
only have a few pics of it for now as we've had a busy couple of days, but here they are. plans are to get a rebuild on the motor, rebuild the turbo(just to freshen it up, it works fine) and fix the misc. little things wrong with it. will have motor pics sometime soon... FWIW, the PO just replaced the solenoid for OD, and the trans shifts SMOOTH. and it only blows white smoke under HARD acceleration. its a little gutless for my taste, but she runs just fine. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/5e40afc1.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/1d2fd392.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/9fb639f1.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/a9616764.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/f4ba0d39.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/a93c1df9.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/14d6c058.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/1c4b3ca5.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/650af039.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/b04b3de2.jpg |
If it is blowing white smoke you could be damaging the turbo by driving it. I messed up a rebuilt turbo before I found the motor had a cracked exhaust port.
It is a sharp looking rig. |
I can't get over those mirrors. Sooo Purrrdy

Thanks guys...
Got a couple pics of the motor... http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/5fea80b3.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/6637d635.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/c16cb247.jpg He's happy.. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/a406b57c.jpg *sigh* pipe dream... Lol... But it's gorgeous... http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/c2b8778c.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/bf8d7dbf.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...k/4102b655.jpg |
looks like it has a new VAFM, and intake piping...
|
talked to Ted at Engnbldr tonight... got some great info... hes a great guy to deal with!
gonna be ordering his rebuild kit and sending the head out to him to have some work done on it... also trying to track down a CT20 rebuild kit... one thats decent quality... if i cant find one, i think ill track down a t3 off the 4 cyl mustang... |
picked up a couple supplies today so i can pull the top and start sorting those gremlins out... AFAIK its got a crack in each corner above the rear window, so thats gonna need to get filled in... doing some research and i think ive decided to pull the windows and trim out and clean those up as well...
anyways, Mudbunni wants the top to be color matched to the rig... i think they look better black, but shes gonna be driving it so ill aquiesce to her request.. picked up some Rustoleum Hammer White and some scuff pads... might give it a shot to see how itll turn out... anyone ever used hammered paint on their top? |
Nice find Troy, and wow you got it for a great price .. good luck man !
|
Really nice!
|
You call her gutless... yet just HOW FAST could your runner go? And HOW long did it take to get to said speed? And I'm not talking about going downhill.... butthead.

LuLu was fast in first and second... it was 3rd thru 5th that messed her up... :hillbill: anyways, i called her gutless because i wasnt able to mash on the pedal... REALLY build up boost... im sure that shes got some power, but thats not a risk i was willing to take... and first gear really is gutless... |
:wave:
just found this. |
Great deal on a clean rarer truck. Looking forward to your build.

He used to have sticker speed.... 'butthead' must be a term of endearment. |
