Builds Project "Devil Frog" - Isaac's '69 FJ40

[pappy]

You are only running one 80 locker, so I assume you used the segment if the 80 harness fir the rear std pinion locker?

Correct.

 

[Devil Frog]

Front elocker in. I picked up knuckle alignment SST and pull scale (thanks Ali and DanS!). Time to bottom front axle up now.

 

[pappy]

No hesitation, no doubt ... you will love it.

 

[evanz80]

Looking good!

 

[Devil Frog]

Time to get back at this project, got these chromoly hub gears to complement the longfields. Axels should be pretty bullet proof now.

 

[Devil Frog]

Got the hub locker reassembled with the new gears

Found this bad boy on CL and just picked on my lunch break. I know the 40 is in pieces and a winch is the last thing I need now, but Ash convinced me to snatch one of these if a good deal came up. Just needs some line and a remote. I'll get some synthetic line eventually.

good score! I love mine.

I may have an extra remote that I am not using if you are interested. I will need to dig it out of my stash of parts.

Nice score dude!!!

 

[Devil Frog]

Rollin' again and got an external gas too. Need to get the tub off and to media blast.

Classic.

Teeeeheee heeeeeeeeee !!!!!

More scope creep, surprise surprise. I just picked up the mechanical bits that will yield a 3FTE:

turbo kit

This is a proven system, but I will run the electronics differently than Akarilo did. It will work well with the Megasquirt and LC1, I will just need some bigger injectors, and with my bumped up compression ratio I am going to pursue water/meth injection and a knock sensor. That should allow 6psi of boost for ~250bhp at the crank.

 

[jstncse]

Scope creep???

 

[Devil Frog]

3FTE in the works, next I need to source some 7MGE injectors to fuel this beast properly.

 

[White Stripe]

I just found this build. A turbo!! Sweet! Way to go sidestepping a v8 conversion. This sucker will be different and cool.

 

[Devil Frog]

I built my Megasquirt. I used a Nippon Denso 52 pin conector, which is the same as the 3FE ECU. This allows me to use the 3FE engine harness. The wide band O2 sensor/controller wil allow the MS to self tune. It will also support me using Supra injectors.

 

[Devil Frog]

Replacing the wimpy 210 cc/min with these 315 cc/min 7MGE injectors.
