Addicted's 96' 4runner using TG Tacoma SAS kit

[gorillaxj]

Nice work! Even a 26" frame height would be fine in my opinion. Looks great to me!

 

[Max Power]

I love builds that are nice but not crazy expensive.

HID's look slick

Are they HIDs or Projectors?

I got HIDs on my 4runner, and they just look like regular bulbs.


Turned out awesome Scotty! Well done man.

Very nice, that looks great! Although it does look pretty tall, but like you said, once it settles it should be pretty sweet

I think those headlights can see into my soul...

Rig looks good.

Glade, myself, and Brian took the 4runner up to Moody Hill and the quarry to play around.

 

[Greg]

Looking good, nice to see it out and about already... that was QUICK!

 

[Hybrid Racing]

SWEET GOOD JOB GUYS LOOKS GREAT!

 

[Max Power]

Looks like a good proving grounds for a new rig.

 

[Bart]

Nice looking rig, and looks capable.

Got some pics of how its currently sitting. We pulled the 3rd leaf down in the "HD" pack. As you can see, its front low right now, but we should have the new tire carrier/rear bumper done soon on it where it should level it out a lot better.

It definitely looks way ass high in the rear because there is no bumper.

Also took some center console pics. Along with his winch controls.

Here are his gauges. Notice the one on the left

Here are some sneak peaks. Glade just sent out the Exhaust manifolds and intake to laser to have the flanges built.

Turbo manifold will be a T4 manifold. That is a Garret TP-38 from a 96' Powerstroke. Not sure if that turbo will work well or not, but we're using it for mockup for now. It would be better suited to the 1UZ in the buggy, but we'll try it on the 3.4L to see.

Oh crap, twin turbos.....

I am thinking of doing the STS turbo on my runner, just not sure yet. I would have leaned more to the supercharger, but with toyota discontinuing them, parts will be hard to come by.

Not twins. This motor couldn't support twins. Just a single turbo.

 

[Coco]

oh that second pic, is of the backside of the motor, that is why I thought twins. Are you going to run the exhaust around the motor so you have full exhaust running through the turbo? Or just the one side? (probably a stupid question, but everyone keeps telling me that you need all exhaust running through a turbo. that is why STS developed there rear mounted turbo, so they have full exhaust pressure? Or am I just off base?)

Both sides will run through the turbo.

This is Glade's prelude:

Needless to say, he knows what he is doing. This car puts out around 700hp.

Good hell.... Can you have him make two manifolds? i'll do a turbo kit too haha

This may be a production kit at some point.

I think someone needs to compete with STS. As far as I know they are the only turbo kit for the Tacoma/4runner. The biggest reason I am still not sure about it, is the turbo would/is exposed to the elements. Hot turbo+h2o=no beuno.

I don't think it would compete directly with them to be honest. And, this is going to require a lot of mods to be able to fit anyway. We'll see how things pan out with this. It may be one of those things that needs to be installed in house to make it work right.
