well he's back ..

a while back , we did some front fenders for him .. and he loved them . We we're talking about My Trekker and the power of his 22re in his Truck ..



so .. 5VZ is now going in ..
Truck is not actually comming in for a couple of weeks , but I wanted to get going on the mods to the engine .

found a good used "kit" with 120 Kelometers on it

started with the clutch ..
NEW complete kit

OLD



and NEW







also .. did the timing belt , water pump , tensioner and Idlers







EDIT : we have the timing belt kits and clutches now IN stock

.

 

and now with the oil pan , dipstick and all complete ..



next is the crossover



started cutting it into pieces ..


.

 

and crossover is done ..




.

 

so continued with the "prep" with Davids parts ..

because the 5VZ requires extra height , we "opt" for a hood scoop instead of a body lift . This is a http://www.toyotafiberglass.com exclusive part , and as well fits the 5vz supercharged "cut out " necessary to fit .

here's how we install it ..

First the scoop has the studs imbedded , so a template is necessary .. a sheet of "art" paper from your local office supply store will sufice ..





Be sure to mark it .. so you know which end is up



now with your "template" .. you can measure , and mark your install



there are a few different positions you can set this at , so .. this one is where we want it .. With that in mind .. time to drill
Take your time on this .. the metal hood skin is thin , and will dent really easily .



depending on your location .. you will have to "open" up holes on the structural braces undernieth ..



and to open it up for a "functual vent" .. we suggest cutting between the supports .. will show this on a latter post .

install , and tighten bolts ..

time for a "test fit"



getting everything test fit .. including the New tranny




.

 

LOVE IT!!

 

I want that hood scoop. Its easy to install and looks really good.

 

what are the plans for the 22re?

 

it's for sale ..
shipping to you would be a killer though

.

 

send me an email .. lets get the "process" started
there is a "line up " so there is a wait


.

 

so , out comes the engine again ..

and weld the engine mounts and zinced and painted



also got all the rear heater plumbing all done and re installed the engine



and some accessories



also started the trany crossmember



.
