nothing done this weekend as I had a job to do. Hopefully this week I'll get the engine wrapped up.

had a few jobs to bang out and am getting down to the wire on my personal truck. In the process of setting up Kaiser locker diffs with 4.88s and if anyone would be willing to help me this weekend I've got a crap ton of stuff to get done. Lift, diffs and axle rebuilds.
Food and beer served.

Are you planning on having your build up done by FG? I lined up stuff this weekend so no help from me, sry.

The engine and SC won't make it but I very much want the rest of it ready to go. I have a shot at having the diffs done by the weekend and then maybe get the front axle rebuilt and re-geared. One thing in my favor is it's from San Francisco and rust free. So everything should come right apart which is usually half the battle here in the North East.

Under the wire my friend! All I need to do is paint the sliders and mount them
OME J springs
Kaiser lockers front and rear
caster plates
DC front shaft
35" Kumho MTs
Ext rear LCAs
Front sway bar drop blocks
Rear sway bar extended HD links with under frame conversion
re-geared to 4.88s
front and rear axle re-build
brake rotors and pads
extended OEM brakelines
rear OEM drive shaft
Nice Rick!
Looking good! I like the green

I just drove it around the neighborhood so no speeds above 40mph but these tires are amazingly quiet!
Did the super charger make it in?
Looks great

No Supercharger just yet. After the fall gathering hopefully.

With winter comes the female occupation of the garage. So I've switched to a fueling mod for the SC install.
I'm basically following Toyotas lead with what they did back in the late 80s early 90s with turbos. What they did was to scale the injection system to basically mimic a larger motor. As an example, if they were turboing a 2.2re, they would install an air meter from a 3.0 engine which would produce a lower injector duty cycle and then augment the injector size so that lower duty cycle would still provide the proper amount of fuel.
Same for the 93 supras, they basically used a MAF sensor that was used in the later 4.5l Land Cruisers. If you do the research on the injectors used and the displacement of the motors you'll see the math.
So now that I have my stock MAF figured out I scaled the MAF housing to match Subaru WRX 3920 injectors. This takes out the 315cc stock injectors and replaces them with 425s. I've been driving around for a couple of months now without issues and comparing data logs between the two setups.
Have an order for the first beta unit and hopefully it will be installed for my trip to Florida in March.

Very cool!!! LMK if you need any Subie injectors I have a few sets kicking around.

A small update. One of the no so good things about boosting one of these trucks is that the IAT (intake air sensor) is mounted at the air cleaner pre compressor. So the IAT readings are close to ambient verses higher even after the intercooler. These temps influence the amount of timing that the ECU chooses to use.
So it would be better to read actual IAT post compressor/intercooler to guard against detonation.
After some research and scrounging I located a JDM intake manifold sensor off of a turbo MR2. It has the same response as the stock IAT allowing me to divorce the IAT sensor from the MAF sensor and place it post compressor /intercooler. I've also located the toyota part number for the connector housing so wiring will only be to lengthen the existing wires and the pins will fit the new housing.

I find it amazing that you can figure this s*** out! Nice job Rick!!!!

Thanks Lane. For better or worse it comes with an obsessive personality.

apparently all the bulbs in this truck are original. Half the dash bulbs were out, front markers, rear markers, reverse, license plate and floor shifter.
$65.00 in bulbs and still need to do the floor shifter.
On the plus side I installed a pair of Depo lights modded with HID projectors. Amazing light output for the drive south next week.

Where you going?
