2017 what have you done to your 4 x 4 lately? (1 Viewer)

[CrowleyFJ40]

Did a major mod to my Ford Fusion to make it more capable off road. Pic of mod below. Still have more to do including bumpers/sliders/lift/tires.

Also, I guess I need start naming my trucks since I now have 2 blue 4Runners.

Dang, that's one good looking air box

That may be the best looking turbo install I have seen.

I second that. Also, @SammyT08FJ I hope you won't be withholding all the details ?

Nice. When are you starting it? @half k cruiser if you need details @kc_chevota is your guy. I'm not smart enough to do all that I was there to swap the head out. I can help with that.

Curious as to your intercooler location. The CX site shows it low up front kinda unprotected. How will this effect deep water forging? And lastly, did you have the head milled more aggressively to raise the compression?

Very impressive work! I can't wait to test drive it. Please don't post any more bung pictures, though.

I don't think the head was milled. This was the borrowed head that I sent over to get done.

Looks to me like he's running a water / air setup in the PS rear corner of the engine bay. Shouldn't be an issue.

Most forced inductions run lower compression if anything. Thicker head gauskets or milled pistons. The 1fz does not have high stock compression to start with like many of the modern high performance NA engines

 

[kc_chevota]

correct I'm running a air/water IC, there is a 10x13 rad w/ fan in front of the stock on the pass side.

Started it last night. Hope to have it back on the road tomorrow.

Looks good Rob

 

[milemarker60]

Awesome...Can't wait to watch it in action! Mitch seems to think his after-school job at Oreilly's will net him enough to consider this as an option. My math tells me that Mitch should have his MBA by then and will give Rob an opportunity to log 50K+ miles and get a good handle on reliability

have a see loose ends to tie up but other than that it's done and running

Looks awesome, very clean install. Can't wait to hear what your setup is and your thoughts after driving it.

 

[rockstate45]

It's very, very quick.

@kc_chevota , do you care if I break the seal on the performance figures?

knock yourself out, I still need to do another run to get the 1/4 mile time

 

[2fpower]

Sounds like the "break in period" theory went out the door.
