We took the dist. out when we did my install so we just re adjusted it. I think you will have to change it if you use the 4 runner dist cap, its easy to check though.

Check it out

First start up
Fuel spewing out the exhaust
and the excess oil on the down pipe was burning off
and the HKS SSQV wasnt hooked up.

Pretty cool though

 

Thanks for the vids and pics travis.

Man this thing sounded crazy when it was spooling.

 

sounds like a small plane lol.

 

excellent progress... allot of motivation here for me u have a PM about that rear lip

 

Took it to the shop today and had them weld up the downpipe to my exhaust. its quiet as a lamb now... Except when its spooling up

 

The spool of the 61 is sex, isnt it? I love the way mine sounds with my new exhaust

 

Its freaking nuts dude... I need to do a new exhaust too... it takes damn near forever to spool now. LOL. Open downpipe FTW

 

i love your car curry you running auto or manual?

 

Thanks =D

Sadly... Auto. LOL.

 

the stock auto? or a different one

 

Bone stock. But from what im told the 1jz auto bolts up so im gonna be swapping one of those in.

 

congrats on the new ride

 

Thanks!


Well today I spent about 6-7 hours pulling the the manifold, turbo and wastegate. I attached vac lines for my Tru-Boost.

I removed both the oil return and oil feed flanges, cleaned them and put permatex black gasket maker. Put everything back together, raised my intercooler up about an inch. Put header wrap in a few key places.

Car started up just fine once again... Unfortunately the leaking started but it wasn't anywhere as bad as before.

From what I can see it looks like the leak is coming from the bolt closest to the engine and it looks like some is coming from the fitting that goes into the flange... I may have tightened the fitting down too much OR that bolt needs to be tigtened down some more. I left it for now, i wont have any wrench time until friday.

I also ordered a new 90 degree reducing coupler. YAY! Its gonna make fitting that pipe to the compresser so much easier.

So I should be up and boosting again by the weekend.

 

Loch,

I think if you can get that thing on a lift, you should be able to tighten the bolts better. But dude, thats a great job! Hopefully I can get my gauges put in this weekend and tuned!
