7MPG, there has to be something amis. The 1FZE should be more efficient and turning gas into mechanical power than the 2F due to better flow and engine management. I recently did a trip to Coyote Flats with my wife driving our 80 pulling a trailer with our 2 wheeled toys with me in 60, both...

My 80 is still wounded from Coyote.... Frank

Wiring to the stock ECU is easy. In fact, any stand alone will need the same stuff, power ground, AC if you have it, etc... I think the stock ECU is actually easier because it already plugs into everything on the engine including the hold downs, etc..., you just need to power it and wake it...

I am very interested in how this turns out. When the 2F in my 60 goes, this is the swap I would do. Having done the 3FE swap, I didn't need to trick the ECU or feed it speed. The engine runs fine in park, neutral, etc... In fact, since the 80 is AWD, the emissions test is done in Park so the...

Any one of those things I'd say let's have a wrench day and get it done. However, given the situation, I'd go with 73Guppie or Georg at Valley hybrids. So, on the subject of EFI, I am about to attempt this on my dad's 68 FJ40 and with Leno's Law just about there, will do the same on my FJ60...

Can you post a picture? I can see if it is the same as what my cans have. If so I can design another one. Otherwise I would need to get a hold of a center plug. Frank

Well let's get ya in next year! frank

I was thinking about that. What I am struggling with is that usually when a float needle gets stuck it's suck closed and disturbing / hitting the carb unseats it. If the needle is stuck open and the float is unable to close it, again disturbing / hitting the carb usually unsticks it. In this...

Think I might have found something.... I had a full tank when I started the climb.... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/charcoal-canister-operation.1082092/ Frank

Ah, good to know!

Fortunately we did a fair bit of packing Sunday at camp before dinner. This helped us and Corey depart at 9AM which is a record for me. Typically if I bring the kids by myself I am lucky to hit the road by 10AM. Well.... on the way down I noted I was hearing some noise from the 60. For one...

Corey's family, his wife was a trooper hiking their baby to Baker lake and beyond. On the way back we stopped to get a better pictures of the rigs with the mountains in the background. We headed back to camp to enjoy our last day. Garrett is dreaming of the day he can drive this! Mommy...

Green Lake! The view is awesome, like another planet, but the hike down there and back up is tough. Trying to do that with Karleigh on my back is a real physical test so passed on it this year. I'd love to get back to fish it, Daniel caught a big old girthy trout that we cooked up, but you...

It was. Each year has something else to offer. We gotta do it again next year. Frank

We headed back to camp. I was trying to be so careful on my bike not to wipe out but alas about half a mile from camp I did. I wasn't going fast and didn't get hurt but need to fix a few things on the bike. However, that's not important, what is important is more food! It was mexican food...
