Its coming back together slowly, nicely,and better than before






Peace through superior firepower!




Look at the difference....










TURBOOOOOOOOOOOO

Pardon the messy car! Work in progress!

If someone can host a vid for me I'll let you all hear the magnaflow exhaust on the ol' 2.7...I think it sounds great. Very pleased!

 

What happen to your 2.7 runner?

 

Girl in a civic weaving in and out of traffic cut in front of me and slammed on her brakes...I don't have abs and i got F****** on the whole thing

 

quick question? How many amps do you have in there? and for what?

 

3 amps. All ghetto rigged The one Rockford power 500a2 (more like 700 watts rms) is for the sub. The one next to the jack underneath the seat is for the 5 1/4 alpine type Rs. I think it puts about 100x2 @4 ohms( not 100% sure) and the front amp is a kenwood that puts out 150W RMS X 2 that powers the front polk speakers. I'm gonna get polk momo components in a short while and then i'll finally leave the system alone. It is probably the best thing i've ever invested in and gotten the most enjoyment out of

 

Looks like it is coming along nicely. Where did you get the hood w/scoop? Did I miss that post?

 

where'd you get that turbo manifold/header from?
and what are you going to run for management?

 

One of my friends at work mentioned that his friend used to own a 4Runner and then later that day he remember that the guy had a hood for it in his garage. I was like whoa whoa wait what year and he said 2001. So my friend called the guy up and we went over there after work. The guy opened the shed up and sure enough out came the dusty hood. I offered the guy 100$ for it and i threw it in my dads truck and went on home Apparently the guy got an aftermarket hood (I guess the carbon fiber one, who knows) Unfortunately its forest green and my car is desert dune but most people think its black anyway. The green color really is awesome and I wish i had the money to paint the whole car that color. In reality i'll just get the two new fenders painted as well as the hood, to mach the rest of the car.

As for the turbo header, I bought it off a guy on www.customtacos.com . It's the Benzboy manifold which is of very high quality and is spoken of very highly. I need more money as I found a 96 infinity I30 for 1,150$ that needs just a little bit of work plus I have to fix the Runner up. If your interested let me know. I'm looking to get at least 400$ because that is what I paid (its never been used) and i'll throw in the T3 turbo gasket for it (worth 8$)

 

Wow. I was in the same situation as you a year or so ago. Truck was wrecked (front end damage too), but with a little patience it came out better than before (turboed also ). Good luck with yours, looks like it's coming along very nicely

BTW: do you have any other pics of that manifold? The design seems strange. Definately not your typical design, looks more like a regular tri-y header with a turbo flange tacked on.

 

man i know how that is, im still not completely done fixing my truck from my wreck almost 2 years ago. nice bumper sticker in the back, the gun control one.

 

Heres some more pics of the manifold. I really wanna get rid of it because im probably never going to get around to doing this project.

 

so youre hugging it while you sleep at night then?

 

hahah yup. Its been sitting in my room for the past week and ive cut my leg on it twice and stubbed my toe on it once

 

So, yea I've decided on buying an Infiniti I30 instead of souping up the Runner. I miss my maxima dearly so i need the money. The 3rz manifold is now up for sale

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! YOU ARE supposed to be my SUCESSOR we need another 2.7L TUNER!!

 

Well getting another fender from this guy on ebay just set me off today. The guy sent me two left hand fenders and then finally sends the right hand one but it was bent to hell. I realized I really just want a car because no matter what the 4Runner will never be as agile as a car. I still <3 the 4runner don't get my wrong. I'll prob just go w/ whatever NA mods are left. Who knows i might keep the manifold. I'm gonna go do some more shots now
