Very cool product! I've had an iBooster installed in a 40 series, Hilux, and a Ultra4 for a couple years now. Just to help augment OP's post, here is a thread I started on a separate forum that I tried to compile a bunch of iBooster tech into: Bible - iBooster Electric Brake Booster -...

I'm with you, I know nothing either. I have a BOV but it's essentially open or closed and only opens when the throttle closes fast. The turbo and boost stuff really confuses me. People say a larger turbo will flow more air at the same pressure, sure that makes sense. What doesn't make sense is...

It's Friday, weather is cool for probably the last time for months, found a shop down the hill and said let's see how weak the 2JZ is Did only one pull which told me everything I wanted to know 292whp hahaha And to reiterate from a long time ago, stock warn out NA the truck made...

Slowly improving things here and there. First I 3D printed some brackets that bolt to the back of the dash screen to hold the Raspberry Pi, and then I bought a capacitor bank that also bolts in the back, as well as wired up a CANBUS module and then lastly hooked up a USB GPS device. This...

I did about 60 miles before getting into boost, then a 40 mile drive with increasing amounts of boost though keeping it below red line. Changed the oil again at 100 miles. Got a little freaked out though my neighbor thought it wasn't anything to be worried about. I also pulled both valve...

Top off the transmission with more oil than it's rated for so that's good, but she's quiet again! Swapped in my high pressure transducer, oil pressure mostly chills right around 100psi, cold start was around 120psi. Warm idle is still at 35psi which I'm really liking----this is the first time...

And she's on the road again! Fresh oil and filter, get the shifter in, hood on, grille, the heater core heat valve decided it wanted to leak so entirely bypassed it (which it seemed marginal at turning the heater "off" to begin with), and then she was ready! I will admit, when I pulled up...

I've never tried one, it actually sounds like the perfect setup for this and my buggy (though the buggy is far easier since the engine isn't angled up like the Hilux). I might have to get that, good idea!

Wow it was a lot longer ago than I thought when I updated I had started on the engine! Life has been extremely busy and not often I've even had a chance to go into the shop. Multiple times the past few weeks I'd say I'm going to work on the Hilux today, and that seemed to initiate every client...

It's that time again ladies and gentleman! It's winter/early spring and that means it's time to work on 2JZ things apparently. My goal is to someday have this vehicle running through a winter when I can actually enjoy the one climate control of using the heater. Not a lot of photos, but where...

Yes sir :D though I must admit I have no desire to make headers, that is time consuming work. Though I have a 1UR scan on GrabCAD as well as Mud (resource section) that is free to download, and if someone needs it I can always scan the underside/engine bay of my 460. I would like at some point...

Dude down the hill replied, $250 for crank with block and head, I said let's do it so picked up a block with quite the surface rust. Head is in decent shape. Just got home and tore it down in the bed of the truck. And the crank looks decent, don't want to jinx myself! One of the rod bearings...

Turns out the crank was indeed cracked. I took in my other crank and we got real lucky and that one was already cracked on the #1 main in the same fashion! They checked the block and the 1-2-3 mains are a bit loose at 45deg, #4 is .001" tight, and 5-6-7 are fine. I'm having them line hone it...

Pulled the oil galley plugs, took the oil pump and filter housing apart, and no smoking guns of anything obvious happening. I ended up dropping the crank, block, and pistons off at the machine shop. They'll regrind the crank, the block they are suspicious needs to be line honed since it was not...

Turns off with a 3s buffer until it's allowed to be restarted. It'd still be spinning but would at least notify you that something happened and stop being under load. At idle the limit is set to low teens, and then pretty linear up to 5000rpm where the failsafe is set to 45psi.
