I've had some cool turbo cars, but this is the most ridiculous. If new OEM turbos are precision instruments, this thing is a circus sledgehammer game.
Minor throttle applications are overkill for daily driving. It's pretty funny driving around...
Yes I had one, it was garbage, lots of swarf inside, I wouldn't have felt safe installing it on my engine without cutting it open and cleaning it up, but my friend that is very good at welding aluminum was concerned about getting a good clean...
Did a bunch of cleaning and organizing in the shop this evening. Went through a bunch of parts I have for this build. I am starting to build up the stash pretty good.
I sold the H151 5spd trans I had for this build, reason; upgrading to an...
Lower gears for the highway and the trail, all in a ready to install t-case. Obviously not the only option, but a fantastic option we are excited to offer
Pictured case features 10% High Range Underdrive (TCG9007UDHR and TCG9807HRKIT) & 25% Low...
Finally got to see it in person. The black is so deep and rich. Spent the day at IPOR finalizing details going through a list of things needed to get this done.
I'll record something soon...
So far, my short drives are basically:
1) spool very briefly
2) lift and audibly dump pressure
3) laugh + holy sh!t
4) coast for quite a while
5) repeat
- 35's
- Lower gears with a rear locking axle
- Taller and firmer springs
- Skidplates
- Front limited slip
- Performance shocks
- Offroad steps
- breathers for transfer case and axles
- Offroad modes
Should be in the driveway next week (?) after something like 18 months. Got a proper test drive today; found anything beyond 1/2 throttle to be plain stupid and unnecessary. 🤪 Yes, I will try to get some video soon...
(On road, the stanced "Fast...
New reproduction disc shields for the FZJ80 w/full float rear.
We've got the first sample stamped and dipped. Will be test fitting these in the next couple weeks and if all is good will be a new Trail Tailor offering.

They’re not even 33s!
What’s “peristatic loss”? Do you mean parasitic?
Yup.
I mean, I guess I could go find a 4wd dyno,…, but why? I don’t anticipate going WOT in 4hi or 4lo.
i am low 180's in the winter so far. have not ventured far with the truck since install but temps do increase a bit when I step on it. Have an old TRAD which is at least 10 years old and have a new koyo ready when it gives up. I also have a...
Working a season in Esperance flying choppers, probably the best coastline in WA! Have been doing a lot of beach 4x4 and camping on days off. The new transmission cooler hose was rubbing on the AC pulley and blew while the engine was hot, which...
Towed my camper up to Silverton this weekend. First time towing over a pass since the turbo install. Nice to travel faster with a trailer than I could prior without.
Hmm sounds like we need to figure out what is different in my setup compared to the Wits End setup. I know I did drill and weld a water fitting into my thermostat housing, I am also intercooled. But I have never seen temps even close to these.
Well you are also running a smaller turbo, (Edit *** Sorry I went back and saw you might have changed turbos, your first post said you were using a 61lb/min turbo but it looks like you ended up going with a 7670, which is what I have***). which...
