OK So I got this truck its an 88 reg cab pickup 5 speed 22re truck pretty common the frame is about the best I've personally seen in michigan which doesn't mean much lol....well here is a pic
I have been trying to fix all the problems before I start the build it leaks oil, coolant, the brakes need work and the passenger side cv axle is shot so I bought some lucas engine stop leak a new radiator and a new cv axle so far and I've been working on it weekends with the gf.bought a new set of aluminum rims I've heard you can feel a difference on these little trucks my plan is to convert the reg can frame to fit an ext cab I found mainly because of my size I'm sure this will be a slow build and I will have lots of stupid questions I'm sure so thanks for watching, Zeth

 

scribed. ask away, the dumb questions are only the ones not searched for or unasked.

 

im starting out with a simple mod which is the battery intake swap. so far ive started on the wiring and its almost done but i do have a question what do most of you use for the short elbow on the intake i have searched but no one says it almost looks like the stock peice but stock doesnt fit over the maf (or whatever toyota calls there version) no pics yet but any help is greatly appreciated

 

45* elbow from spectre is what i've used and what others have used as well. That being said you can use a bunch of different stuff from the hardware store pvc, rubber hose water pipe supplies and it's AFM not MAF when you search for it later for reference that'll help.

 

Got a new intake setup built today I like it soon to be supra afm when it gets here still have to run the wires to afm







Pic with the new wheels not very god but just a tease I guess

 

Nice project, but my neck hurts. lol. Try rotating the images.

 

X2 on the the project and rotating your pic

 

x3 on the above

 

Pics are finally rotated

 

Got all that fab'd for nothing the ssupra afm has a different size and bolt pattern so I still ned to run wires

 

got the wires for the afm ran i ran the around behind the motor on the firewall rather then try to pack them all in front of the radiator, got my supra afm on and almost fabbed up my battery tray but i had to work late so i didnt get to it....pics sorry not very exciting

 

Got a question, I got it running today and it starts up fine but as it idles down it wants to stall and its either running lean or rich I'm not sure is there an idle screw on the afm our something I did the supra afm swap more pics of the battery tray any help is appreciated
