This is my battery intake swap. I used an 87 supra intake and pulled the guts from my maf and put them in the supra's intake. So far it has worked great.

 

I also put on some pace setter headers to save money. they really didn't fit well which i was pissed about. oh well. i also moved the O2 sensor from where they had it to the bottom of the header itself. this helped with a code i was getting.

 

You can see in this pic where i moved the o2 sensor to.

 

When cleaning my motor i went through every thing and cleaned it the best i could. this pic is the egr stuff on the back of the motor. as you can tell the ports are full of carbon crap. i took a screw driver and cleaned them all out.

 

So when I put my motor back and started it, it was running like crap. come to find out the 3rd fuel injector wasn't working. come to find out when it was twisting and pulling my wiring harness I broke some of the corroded wires.

 

so i went through the harness wires up to the fire wall and fixed all the fubar connections. I mostly soldered taped and then covered themm in black rvt stuff so they are water proof. then wrapped them up with plastic sheilding. truck ran much better.

 

Another thing that I have done was made a rear tire carrier out of some scraps from my Father-in-law's. we used a gate hinge thing and welded some square tubing up. I plan on making a better one once i get rid of the smitty built rust bumper. but this works great and it saved me once. I basically had to cut the chain on the bottom carrier to get the tire off, it was so rusted with dirt and grime.

Something else that i did, and I got a little out of control was put peal&seal on most of the exterior body panels. I did the doors the entire floor of and obviously the rear quarters. It made a huge difference. Like so..

 

white engine? man that think is gonna get dirty quick

 

I was also getting tired of reaching over to unlock the pass door. so i found a pretty cool universal door lock/unlock system on ebay for around 30 bones. It was fairly easy to install just time consuming. I drilled the holes from the door to the cab at a different level so when i open close the door the wire loom stuff doesn't even move. I'll admit that this was sort of by mistake but it works great. I wanted this so that their wasn't going to be any wear on the wiring. Also while i was at it I installed some door speakers(my wife complained so much how crappy the stock speakers were) to help with the sound system.

 

 

here is a pic of the key fob. pretty cool really has a cover for the buttons so no accidental locking. the system will also tie into a alarm system.

 

It can get dirty quick, but it's pretty easy to clean. And i can keep tabs on leaks if there is any.

Hi Motox711,
Good build. Kudos to you for having that much patience with the truck! I'm with you on the wiring; many people take shortcuts that bite them (Or us future owners) in the end. Looks like the splices on those injector wires corroded at the splices. That's why I prefer to wrap/twist and solder splices, then insulate them properly. Soldering makes them more resistant to corrosion.

Nice job on the speakers- Nice thing about door mounting is you can use bigger, better ones there.

Thanks for commenting on the P&S application on my thread. I notice some smell but should go away once I lay solid Ensolite sheet for further insulation on horizontal surfaces.

Regards,
RAD

 

Thanks for looking RAD, I really like the door speakers it made a huge difference in sound quality. I'd imagine once your done with your sound proofing it will be like a new lexus with no outside noise.

 

LOL! Yeah, each time my wife sees me working on it, that's what she asks me - LOL!
