8HP75 Swap Parts List I have put together a spreadsheet listing pretty much all of the parts required to do this swap. I also include a list of the parts that need modification and also a page for parts that need to be fabricated. I included...

Thanks all. Despite driving Tacos/4Runners/Land Cruisers the last 25 years, I've somehow never been in one with 5100s so I don't know if they're designed to have a similar feel in everything they're made for or what. I've read a lot that they can...

The suspension thread barely mentions them and any search results are for generic 5100s adapted to the 80 long ago. I’m looking at them as a backup shock for when I want to rebuild my Fox’s (and whatever I end up replacing those with). Anybody...

The Australian Door Cards are set up to reuse the factory lower storage bins. I left mine off, but that was a choice I made. Oops, guess you are talking about some other product.

They sit flush to the door card with no storage

Those lower speaker pods, are they storage pockets or sit flush? I use my door pockets every single day, would hate to lose them, but would like some decent 6.5" speakers.

I’m also running the Aussie door cards. my Taiwanese knock-off inner wipers just got delivered. Time to figure out they are installed. I bought the door cards from a friend that decided to go a different route.

Just messing around. It's a dark art that us DIY mechanics know little about. All I know is that everything should have a turbo on it.

We have tried 4 different sizes of turbos. This kit was designed to work with a factory ecu and as such could not come on too early. We have also used this turbo in a stage 2 fashion and it does really really well and covers the whole range...

Yes, now that we've been able to do some thorough testing in hot weather from 5k to 11k ft... Stage 2 will be available soon as an all together or a la carte build your own as you go setup ECU - EcuMasters Emu Black configured to be plug and...

I think the thought process was the instant spool for crawl torque, especially in low range, not necessarily power gains through the range. I guess he’s messed with smaller turbos on LS and diesels with some success. It wasn’t a deep dive by any...

A G25 turbo is going to be WAY too small. That is a 48mm compressor wheel and even Garrett only recommends it for 1.4-3.0L engines. It has been several years but I posted all of the compressor maps and where you would need to fall on the map to...

I didn’t see anything about it, but did you try any other turbos before settling on the G30-660 variant? A JDM turbo tuner I trust thinks the G25-550 may be a better match; a really fast spool with our displacement, especially with lower boost...

Made it to Newfoundland! Uneventful 1,600 mile trip, except for a nasty valve cover leak. I pinched the gasket last week while troubleshooting my misfire (bad injector) issue. Picked up some parts locally and fixed it with a view. Camp...

Got in last night from a 2500 mile round trip between Colorado and Washington, point being to drive with and drop off my newly-permitted son with his best friend 1200 miles away, and socialize the new pup. Avoided interstates almost completely...
