lol, yea that was one thing i liked about the truck, it was stock. umm the only thing that i have taken off it was the chrome. the ones around the wheel wells and the pieces that run along the rocker..any thing ur looking for?

 

Are those parts in decent shape? If they are how much you want for them? I don't have a list of stuff I want so much as there is just stuff I would like to have extras off. A couple of the rocker strips on mine are not in cherry condition so I would not mind getting a hold of some nicer parts.

will take pics of them tonight..i was as careful as i could be not to bend them to badly when i removed them.

 

Sounds good thanks! You can use [email protected] to make it easier.

For those that don't know, on a MAF turbo system, a blow-off valve causes a sudden rich condition every time it opens. This happens because it is dumping air that has already been metered as part of the injection calculation out of the loop.

 

That is true. I forgot about that. Although it does not seem to affect the truck in the least. I know on a lot of MKIII Supras is causes a backfire in the intake. So far I have not notice anything in my 87 but I also have no extra gauges.

Just an update, a few months ago the head gasket went out. Ordered a new reman engine for it and been working on swapping out parts ang cleaning those parts up. I didnt take pics as i really didnt care, but with it all put together (well everything but the oil pan) i will take a pic of it before i drop it in the engine bay.

1)My goal for now is to run the t3/t4 turbo kit from LC Engineering for a yr or so. Im waiting on my last few parts from LC as i type this and i hope to have the truck running the first part of Aug.

2) Next is body work.

3) This if i keep the truck this long. Is to get a FMIC, standalone fuel system, and im going to go with the weber sidedrafts (EFI stlye), upgrade to the newer tacoma AFM.

I have been thinkin of putting a little bass in the truck, say like a 8in with a sub. what would be a good one to look at? i know nothing about stereos.. i dont want to have it take alot of room up behind the seats, so any ideas would be great.

ok thats enough typing...

 

Oh, forgot to add, i put on Beefed Taco's lowered bump stops all the way around. I havent ridden with them yet but when i do i will let everyone know what i think about them..

 

ok, snapped a few pics of the motor today..i will be dropping it in the next day or so, just waiting on paint to dry on the oil pan.
want to say thanks to SD yota for the valve cover paint idea..

 

Looks sexy!

 

nice... keep us posted Also what kinda Buel do you have? Any pics?

 

looking good! reminds me of what i was doing about a month ago!

 

SD YOTA was right, that is a nice paint combo. Ilike it alot. keep us updated.

 

its a Buell Firebolt XB12R with Line-x on the plastics..this pic is old, but not much changed since then..



back on subject, got the motor put in the truck, just trying to get the last motor mount bolt on, got pissed and just called it a night, going to finish getting it all installed tomorrow. most my parts from LC will get here Mon, so i will probly have them installed on tues, but thats if things go as planned.

 

wow, thats a first for me! line x on a bike...any particular reason you did that?

 

i bought it from the guy like that, and i love it, dont have to worry about scratches and its different.

 

OK, back to the build, i finished getting the motor in yesterday, now just waiting on the last few parts to come in. So hopefully by weds everything but the down tube will be installed.

 

dang that is looking good.

 

i know where a turbo motor is, and i'd LOVE to grab it but i dont have the money right now. i wish i did though, its a full truck!

 

nice motor!
