Hey Jarrat, what's the thinking on wrapping your air pipe between turbo and intercooler? Trying to keep the post turbo air from taking on more heat ? Why not wrap post intercooler?

Cool, thinking about trying an IC after I do a bigger exhaust. Maybe a Spring project ?? Thanks!
Do you happen to know what brand the roof rack gutter mounts are? Look nice. Oh, love the stir stick too!!
My alternator for the past year wasn't up to par and at idle it would drop a little, plus having the lights on, blower motor, and wipers it would dip to a scary 12volts at the battery. The battery light wouldn't come on, but it wasn't something I wanted to do the trip with, like the a/c going through rush hour in the Portland and Seattle traffic. I ordered a 1990 Toyota Corolla 70amp Denso alternator from Rockauto and pulled the guts out of it and put them into my alternator with success. I priced out all the parts individually before hand and they came to MORE than a whole alternator, so that is why I went with the whole alternator from a similar alternator to the Prados (part numbers crossed over)..
This information here is great. I just got a LJ78 a few days ago, and my dash light started flashing, scaring the s*** out of me. I readl all the post I could on the subject, and followed all the steps. Connections, grounds, terminals, etc. Nothing worked, and it was obvious my regulator was starting to fail. The corolla alternator parts work perfectly, we're readily available, and affordable. It worked perfectly. My wipers are much faster, all dash lights, brighter, window go up and down much quicker as well. These forums are amazing, Thank you, all! - Mike
hey 2 more noob questions:
1.I understand the spacer setup fro the front springs to lift it abit- what do you do for the back suspension?
2.what's the reason for the oil dump blue line thingy that was one of your first mods?
thanks!
With the OME lift for our trucks, the back sits higher then the front. The only reason I and other people have added the spacers is to level the truck a bit better.
The blue oil dump thing? I think your talking about the oil catch can? Just youtube a oil catch can video and they will explain. My main reason I did it was to catch the oil vapors in the can instead of just sucking them directly back into the intake and gumming it all up.
I ended up making that flange out of 3/8ths mild steel. I cut it out using my drill press, jig saw, and rotory file. I had a 2.5 inch exhaust from a honda civic. I used to race honda's back in the day, turbo'n them and yea. So this was just free stuff.
So, after I got the downpipe done, then it was time to finish the exhaust.
The install fit great, other than when I shut it off it was hitting the running board. I added an extra hanger later and that has solved 90% the problem. I do plan on adding in flex joint just after or on the down pipe later if I have a problem with the exhaust cracking.
