junk ... dude... nothing personal but I think I speak for everyone here when I say this is bunni's thread and we'd all like to see more of her and less of you... LOL...

You have your own thread to post in...

 

Ouch...

 

Troy is doing all the work, and the car is in his name... I love what you're doing with YOUR 4Runner, Troy muahaha

 

Mike, you know angel is gonna beat you when she sees you next, right?

 

Pfft.. its only in HIS name until I AM DRIVING IT. Also... Troy isn't doing ALL the work nor paying for ALL of it. DONKEY.

 

Oh yeah... AND ITS MY TRUCK. Wouldn't have even been bought if I hadn't said go.

 

Jeez, Angel.

What's next on your beautiful turbo'd 1st gen white 4Runner, Troy?

 

getting impatient... I WANT MY DAMN MOTOR!

 

I is pleased.

 

NICE! I is wud be pleaseded too! lol. Excited for ya.... be nice to have a rare Turbo to roll around

 

I will be super happs when I get to see it in person. Haven't been able to yet. Troy says its mo4e orange in person which is what I want. But its still pretty and I love it.

 

Hahaha... Ahhhhhhhh, I see, so you can't TANGIBLY touch it yet? Yeah, that's anxiety driving, for sure, lol.

Hang on there hon, it'll be there quickly, then you'll be CAREFULLY zippin around town in your Turbo YOTA lol.

I forgot....did troy already grab a aftermarket turbo for that? Thought I saw a pic.... I'll scan back, when I come back on.

Have fun, you Sassy Prego! lol.

 

We have a turbo for it. Not sure how to make it work though so idk if Troy wants to take it to a shop or find another Turbo. I forgot what he said. The one we have bolts up at 3 points instead of 4 like the old one.

 

Sounds like "adapter" time, right? lol. It's a Turbo for that motor, right? Gotta be a way.

 

Just talked to Troy. That's what we're going to try to do. Lol

 

getting ready to order some parts...

Dual oil filter/relocation kit
http://www.jegs.com/i/Trans+Dapt/969/1213/10002/-1

Oil Cooler (might swap this one for one that has a built in fan)
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-15300/

Fuel injector pigtails (expensive but necessary because the stock ones are in pieces)
http://www.lceperformance.com/Inject...-p/1062007.htm

injectors are getting sent out to Witch Hunter Performance soon for a clean and balance... if you need your injectors done, these are the guys to send em to!

also looking at radiators... cant seem to find a stock 22RTE radiator, so i might be going with an aluminum aftermarket unit... opinions? suggestions? and to go along with that radiator might get a trans cooler as well... i want this truck built for reliability as much as possible...

one more side note, turbo was dropped off a week ago to have lines routed and adapter plate made... motor gy said that the turbo, for as small as it is, will be putting this motor in the ballpark of a stock V8 butt dyno wise... he said that even with the autotragic trans itll scoot along very nicely and will be perfect should i want to boost the power later on...

 

one more thing i forgot...

i picked up some rims and tires on craigslist the other day... they are the Toyota TRD twisted star rims... my ABSOLUTE favorite toyota rim... anyways, they had decent tread on the tires so i figured id get em for mud bunni's runner and let her wear down the tires then swap them onto the tacoma so i can do the Tundra brake upgrade down the road... only paid $160

After i got them, i wasnt too thrilled when i realised that under the brake dust was some oxidation... so, they got scrubbed down and painted... hopefully they will look alright on the runner... i think they look a million times better!

Decent tread on firestone "All Terrain" tires... they will make great curbslayers...

Yup...

Before

After

Painting



All Finished

Close up



now, they arent perfect, but neither is the rest of the paint on the runner, so ithink they will be a good temoporary match for each other... when they go onto the taco, IF they are flaking or im still unhappy with them ill sand blast them... oh, yea, i bought a sand blaster for $10 at a garage sale...

and an older model hi-lift for mudbunni...

 

hey troy - you know there's an injector cleaning co in sacramento, right? they're called Doctor Injector of Sacramento. Pretty much the same price and you don't have to ship them out or wait for mail transition time. I know WitchHunter is the go-to, but these guys are local and seem legit.

 

Troy, nice job on the rims....and SNAGGING THE SAND BLASTER! hahaha... Wow, now THAT would be a cool toy/tool to have.

Thanks for the link on the pigtails..... Buddy needs 3

Far as the radiator... There is a GO-TO Company, here in L.A., that gets radiators/even oem/ that other companies just can't get. They BUILT mine, which is a Towing Package Radiator(????... Not sure, but my buddy at Toyota said, "Yep, they exist.... of COURSE, Mark, YOU got one and need another hard to find item", ...hahaha)... where the lower hose is toward the center, 4" from the corner. He took one look at it and said, "Ahhhhhhh, that one, yeah, I've ran into this before. Lemme make a call to the shop." .... He did and they built it for me in 24 hours. I walked in and picked it up the next day. Lil more pricey for Copper/stainless/custom jobber....but I think it's worth it going "OEM or Better", ya know? Anyway, I can fish up that receipt if you'd like, Troy, to get the number for ya..... Maybe they could order one for ya? BTW, that one I got was 170$, 300+$ cheaper than Toyota, for the same quality, at least.

Just a thought... I'm SURE you have a Local "Big Wigs in Radiators" Shop/Supplier up there in NoCal, right? Maybe give em all a call and start getting them to compete for your biz? lol.

 

OOOOOOH, I got one of those Hi-Lifts like you just got for the Prego-Bunny! lol. Stripped it, primer and painted it.... came out like new! 25$ off CL, .... WOOT! >>>
