new motor is in!!!


still a lot to do before it's running, but it's bolted to the trans, and no longer held up by the hoist. no wiring hooked up, no intake manifold, no vacuum lines, no PS pump, no alt, etc. etc.



my goal is to bring it to the local car meet on Tuesday

notice the title of the thread? "un-turbo". new engine is N/A.

although I might rebuild the old motor and throw a supercharger on it




progress today:

wiring hooked up (although apparently not all correctly, I went to make sure it would turn over and blew a fuse......****).
upper intake manifold bolted on.
alternator installed
power steering pump installed
all vacuum lines connected (couple might not be right. have to run out to a buddy's house and check his 4runner....).
hood bolted up (supposed to snow again tomorrow......)

radiator is in
turbo maf mounted to the N/A airbox
a buddy was nice enough to weld an 02 bung in my header.
header doesn't fit......apparently another issue with it being designed for an older truck. one of the primaries hits the torsion bar bracket for the front suspension (which wouldn't be there on a solid-axle truck). couldn't make it work. got frustrated and put the stocker in it. uber bummer :x



BUT, it lives!!! my mystery electrical issue was just a low battery. put it on the charger for the night and all was well. turned it over, and it fired but stalled. poked around the engine bay, and noticed that one of the wires that crosses the engine bay to the igniter had broken (these pass right over the exhaust.....all 3 were very brittle). fixed that, and it fired right up.

so I put the stock header on it, connected that to the existing exhaust (although the flex pipe I used was a bit too large, so it doesn't seal), filled the radiator, and let it run for awhile to check for leaks. one hose clamp needed tightening, and I have a small ATF leak from one of the lines to the tranny cooler. hopefully I can just tighten that....

anyway, while it was warming it up, I saw the ramps sitting there......






and I got the turbo off the old motor:




just have to bleed the brakes. and a keen observer will notice the vacant area in the front suspension......front diff is still in the shed.

if only the weather wasn't supposed to be so incredibly crappy this weekend

brakes bled
tranny line tightened, a bit (extremely hard to access....so it's barely finger tight, but the leak seems to have stopped).
front diff is in
steering stabilizer attached


it's officially road-worthy. should make the open house at the offroad park here in MN on May 16.



for the first time in 2.5 years. it left the alley, and under it's own power. I only drove it around the corner to park on the street in front of my house for awhile while I put new plugs in my mom's legacy.....but it still counts!!

Glad to see it is all working out, Chux. Probably one of my favorite 'Yota's.

Cheers,
Kyle.

it'll make for good fun when you're around drunks and they pass an hour of their time trying to point out which part is your turbo, the truck looks awesome man.

That is a freaking cool dash. What does the turbo boost gauge do now?

it's apparently calibrated to start reading something as you get out of vacuum. anything above about half throttle starts to show up on my "turbo" gauge.

it's pretty funny.

took it wheelin today. spent almost 8 hours on the trails (not counting the hour for lunch...). just awesome. I never got to wheel all day in the subarus, it was usually 4 hours, and then 4 hours to limp it home after whatever I broke (usually about an hour drive at the speed limit).

some pictures from the day, not really any action shots, it was cold and I was driving most of the time....but a few poser shots:












aftermath:
