Hello fellow Toyota friends, I’ve used these forums for countless bits of information and followed quite a few builds for many years, so I feel like you guys may like what I’ve got going on.

yes I’m well aware that I could’ve swapped something else in so please save it 🙄

94 xtra cab with an Autozone reman engine, Custom built turbo manifold and a mr2 intercooler I’m still trying to mount up, fleabay CT26 turbo, AEM340 pump and the SNP 750cc injectors which I found out are just Bosch fuel injectors with custom adapters on the top.

my original plan was to tweak the airflow meter and adjust fuel but some of my friends talked me into the LCE/ SNP haltech elite 750 with full harness.

I have yet to get the harness in my hands, but I’m hoping it’s everything I dreamed of because my current engine harness crumbles when you look at it wrong. (I would very much like some insight if anyone has installed this in their truck.)

I wholeheartedly don’t expect this engine to last long because I can’t get the wastegate to go 8psi so I have another engine to build with RET pistons.

I pulled the engine from a truck with 59,000 miles and didn’t really like how the bearings and crankshaft looked. So I’ll be working on polishing up the crankshaft since there’s no real grooves, thankfully the bearings sacrificed themselves.

sorry for the photo dump still learning how forums work 😅

 

Looks like a fun project. Clean truck for being in the rust belt.

 

That’s what happens when you ship one up from Texas and never let it see rain or salt

 

I grew up in Buffalo so I figured it was an "import". Looks great.

 

Just finishing up mine now. 200hp on 89 octane, 8psi, tuner wanted to go 14 psi but I don't see any point. Next up body work.

 

I just got my SNP innovations full harness kit with the haltech elite 750, got it laid out and preparing to do the install tomorrow. That is a nice setup you’ve got there! What type of coil setup/crank signal setup is that? Very cool!

 

The ecu, nice unit and capable but obscure.

Coils are LS truck, crank trigger is no longer made but that a Ford VR sensor on a 36-1 trigger, harmonic was machined to accept and welded on.
Cam is using the gutted dizzy.

 

I have to say this kit from LCE built by SNP is a very nice piece and was a breeze to install.

only thing I really felt was necessary was moving the intake air temp sensor to the charge pipe. The intake manifold was heat soaking the sensor and I was seeing 200+ degree intake temps all the time.

now I see just about 20* above ambient temp which isn’t bad for having the intercooler facing down.

My home made manifold keeps cracking (probably because we used cheap Chinese stainless)

my buddy who fabbed the manifold warned me not to use that material so here we are. Crack #4

though I have 650ish miles on the setup and the manifold is my only issue I’m pretty happy with how the truck drives. Amazing to use 5th and do 70+ effortlessly uphills!!

the underwood temps are pretty serious so I’m hoping this cheap blanket helps.
