What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (33 Viewers)

[WoodnotRust]

Finally...it is sticker time. I actually sold out my first print run of the 1988 FJ62 sticker sheet last week, but a new run of 10 sheets arrived today and I took a few minutes to place some on my car. The link to the classifieds where I have these posted for sale to MUD and "before and after" photos of my install are below.

60 Series (FJ62) Decals/Stickers - Interior and Engine Bay

Repost Jan 26, 2024 New: Fuse box sticker $2.50 includes postage to US destinations. Not pre-cut like the sticker sheets, but 30 seconds and scissors did it for me! I now have available FOUR of the FJ62 1988 and NINE 1989 model-year sticker sheets for the amazing price of $45 each. I can do...

Went exploring in the deep stuff we got yesterday.

Overheated the poor A440 a couple times. Luckily I didn’t seem to hurt it.

I’m curious if anyone else’s 3FE ticks like mine does under load? The exhaust rusted off just before the bumper, so I know that sounds different, I’ll get around to fixing it someday…

Get a cooler on the tranny

I discovered that Dakota Digital considers the stock tachometer to be "high voltage" which surprised me.

That's just scary. I was able to find a good quality rebuilt switch from @ToyotaMatt and I'm waiting for it to arrive before I determine if I need to dive deeper. The old switch didn't test continuity correctly according to the FSM and I'm crossing my fingers that a new switch will fix it. Your picture looks like the guts of the motor and that's still available new at Toyota, at least. Let us know what you do in order to repair it...or is it fixed already?

Do you have a part number for the guts? Armature and brushes?

I can locate an NOS assembly but it is $$$$

Cheers

I don't think the individual part numbers for the guts of the motor are available, but the entire motor is sold by Passport Toyota in MD. This has been my GO TO parts dealership over the last year. Remember to put in the code "FREESHIP" for orders over $75.

I'm just assuming these are all the same for the 60-series..., but I'm sure you know to check regardless.

That is rear heater. I am working with the front currently. I see the front motor NLA and no EPC shows any parts for it, only the assembly. I can get an NOS motor but it is $$$.

Almost nothing left on these brushes and the armature is worn a lot where the brushes ride on it.

Went for a nice ride until the clutch started slipping. Here I go.

I've decided to turbo the 3fe in my 62, I think I have a pretty good plan but still trying to decide what turbo to run, only shooting for 6lbs of boost. Ordering stuff next week and will start building the manifold after the new years. Should be fun

You might be crazy, but we all are on MUD.

Why only 6lbs of boost? Looking for a smaller fast spooling turbo?

Yes and I want to keep it simple and mechanical, I don't want to get into electronics, extra injectors, megasquirt etc., so the plan is to use an FMU to increase fuel pressure under boost. 6 lbs should be enough to build the extra power I'm looking for. I will use a wideband A/F gauge with data logging to keep an eye on things. I'm not a turbo guy but I'm a pretty good fabricator so I just need to learn turbo sizing and the tuning aspects of running boost.

Ah okay thats awesome! I am learning about turbos myself now but for a newer fuel injected motor. Interested in seeing the gains from a smaller turbo one a 3fe

Please tell me you're going to turbo the LS you put in.

 

[dbbowen]

That's the ultimate plan, for maybe a few years out. I have a set of 80 series axles I am planning to put under it first once my finances get back to normal after my LS Swap. I'm wanting to run low boost as well because I'm not looking for crazy horsepower and want it to be reliable. Shooting for 500ish to the rear wheels with 35s. I know that can easily be done N/A on the LS but I really just want to do the project. Im hoping with the 80 series suspension and stiffer springs the suspension will handle the more power better. Its the main reason I got an Iron block motor besides cheaper price

Nasty but could be way worse.

We've basically got the same idea, but you're way ahead of me lol.

haha ive got a ton of ideas but not enough money to back them up. I measured everything out when i installed my LS and there is plenty of room for a turbo on the passenger side with a wastegate that will share the exhaust outlet. Theres also room between the frame rail for a 3 inch (maybe 3.5) exhaust pipe to run out the back. This way you can still run a Cat, resonator, and muffler. With the E-fan theres a ton of room as well to route the exhaust in front of the motor for the hot side of the turbo, and even some room to maybe space the radiator and condenser back some to put the intercooler behind the grill! Its also looking like the holley LS Swap manifolds will work for the turbo hot side, just flip them backwards.
