I bought my %.3 and 6l80e from Tilden motorsports in Gilroy ,Ca. They were very easy to deal with and patient as I wanted an engine without DOD and it took a few months for a clean low mileage one to turn up. I thought their prices were good and they do test run them and send you a short video...
So it appears you can keep the stock gas tank. That would make the most sense. The only issue I had in CT is that the vin number in the ecm didn't match the registration. It actually hasn't been a problem with my 80 yet but it was with my Jeep when I put a 6.ol in that 5 or 6 years ago. Just...
You guys are on an island out there in CA. I can only imagine how hard it is to work on hot rods there. I find it surprising you would have to switch the entire fuel system over. As long as the Toyota system is intact and functioning here in CT it passes fine. Fuel vapors are fuel vapors and...
You will need the reluctor and output speed sensor in the trans. The 4wd trans don't normally have them, the have a plug in the hole but no sensor. The output speed sensor on a gm trans is in the tcase. The 2 wd trans have the reluctor and speed sensor. Only problem with not having the speed...
I am running a 2013 5.3L with truck accessories, just like an LQ4, and stock a/c clears frame fine. I shifted engine slightly to the pass side to put equal clearance between the p/s pump and a/c comp and frame
Here is my new air intake
Wow what a performance difference ove stock airbox
I don’t know how i survived as long as i did with the cool factor pem filter canister
I took out my stock 80 series air box yesterday and replaced it with a 4" intake tube and K&N filter. What a difference in mid range, and I assume, full throttle power. I run a 2013 Aluminum 5.3L and for the past 2 years had it connected to the factory filter housing with a reducer coupling and...

I am using the factory pump, 2 plus years no, with no issues. I run adapters right on the factory sending unit to #6 AN hose(pressure and return), A vette filter with built in regulator and the factory fuel pump wiring from the plug at the pump resistor back.
Look at the wiring diagram and will...
factory toyota sending unit is 1/8" pipe thread and if you do a little google searching you can find a LS adapter fitting that will screw into the back of the block where the factory LS oil pressure switch was. That will give you an 1/8" female thread to screw the factory sender into. it looks...
The way to do it and measure for restriction is to monitor the map sensor and either take notes or data log it with different air intakes. At wide open throttle the map reading should be close to the same reading as atmospheric ( key on engine off would be your reference) It will vary depending...
I am using the stock gm p series pump on my 2013 5.3L/6L80E and run hydroboost brakes and a stock steering box. I use Royal purple p/s fluid with absolutely no issues. I also have an LS engine in my rock crawler with same p series pump and same fluid no issues there either.
On the 80 series I...
yes a new oe style radiator from my local radiator shop. I wanted to see if it would work and I can report that after 2 years of use , I have not had any overheating issues. Normal engine temp is 210-215. The fans are kind of loud but overall very happy with the fan setup.
