ANOTHER IDEA: another user here asked me if i would be interested in making some stainless intake tubes for toyota trucks. now i have a 3.4 in a 96 tacoma, so i can mock my own, but i would need some other stock ones to mock other vehicles and applications.
specs would be:
stainless mandrel bent tubing ( to replace everything between the TB and MAF), tig welded, 3" diameter, and a bolt on application. they will also include two bungs and two nipples for the vacuum lines.
Price will be somewhere between 85-100$ shipped.
please let me know what you think and post or PM me.

Ive also got a guy who is willing to bore toyota TB's for us for way cheaper than other places charge ($290). His price is $165 with return shipping included.

He needs a 3.4L TB to look at first to make sure he is capable of doing it, so he said the first to send him one will get theirs done for $135 shipped back to you.
First 3vz, and 22RE sent in to him will be $150 shipped back. Normal on all will be $165.

PM me or post if interested. Turnaround is normally 1 day.
His work is good, ive seen a few other TB's he's done, and he knows what he's doing. Will be overbored 3mm and a new plate made of course.

anyone interested? i would send mine in but i cant afford the downtime right now.
someone has to have a project needing this done.

 

PM me please i really want to get a more reasonable way to increase our performance.

 

I might have an extra 5VZ-FE TB laying around, let me check. I have an extra 3VZ-E but I dont need a bored one on that since Im just going to sell that motor, not use it again.

 

Would he bore it and install a new butterfly valve, or would he simply tape it up to the butterfly valve?

 

check the first post again 96 runner :-)

 

Thanks! 3mm over, new plate. Check.

 

so lets get one done so we can post pics and results!!!!!!!!!

 

another interest question regarding intakes in the original post.

-derek

 

if you can make a intake pipe for a good price i think they would sell very well

 

whats a good price in your mind?

 

mmm $50 + shipping

 

yeah a nice intake pipe for 50 would be nice
beats the 100 from airaid

 

im thinking 85-100 shipped?

 

PM me for interest.

Nobody willing to send those TB's yet? An intake and a bored TB and a TB spacer, would be great, but I can't afford the downtime, as my 04 D-Cab is still my DD. Sorry man. Keep us updated when you get some things running. Specially those intakes.

 

first intake will be made the first week in aug. as that is the only time i have available now. also nobody has sent a TB in either. and i dont think TB spacers do anything so that wouldnt really help.

thanks for the interest though.

so this could be done in one day? and with shipping is turnaround about 4 to 5 days?

I have other cars to use so im gonna have to think upon this

 

yes he does the work in one day, and then ships it back.

Would a TB bore be a greater benefit on an NA engine or a blown engine?
