I drive it every day, no problems. I will have the 10lbs spring in later this week.

I'm not entirely positive on this but if you go to 10 lbs. I think you will be the first as none of the rest of us here in the US have pushed it that far yet.:cheers:

shed doesn't count cause he's in OZ.
 
My wife wants me to sale my lx 450 so that I can buy a new land cruiser. I told her that I would list my truck and see if anyone would buy it. If not then I get to keep it.

1997 Lx 450 with 146,000 miles
Very clean in and out
90,000 on new motor with new head gasket.
285/75/16 mud tires
New radiator & water pump
4x4 labs rear bumper
2.5" heavy springs
Factory lockers
I will post a add in the for sale forum.

lol slight shift in direction for this thread.... Bummer, I was looking forward to more progress on this truck, like real power numbers, fuel consumption during normal and loaded driving, and approximate cost, because your install is by far the cleanest I have seen. Good luck either way :)
 
I hope the truck does not sale. Got to make the wife happy, this way I can say that I tried..LoL

Mpg has been 16.5-17 hwy It seems to be the same as before.

Last night I put in the 8 psi spring, afr is 11.3 at WOT, the truck is alot faster with the 8psi. With the 5psi spring I have allready walked a 2007 Fj cruiser.

We where looking at the 2008 land cruiser on Saturday. I sure like the new land cruiser's but they are alot of $$$.

I will go well over 10lbs. A thick SCE ICS titana gasket will lower the static compression ratio and make a much better seal.
 
kind of a late update.... but thanks for the truck Mike :) see signature.....

Suweet, so where was the boost set at specifically? Congrats on a terrific truck! :cheers:
 
sorry to dig up an old thread, was wondering what ever happened to this truck? Did it sell? Did it get over 10 psi?
 
read thread #66.
 
didn't see that. I read where his wife was wanting him to sell it.....

Sorry.
