Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Just the beginning of the project, lol.

Still trying to decide how much of a short block I want to buy/build and how much boost to run. What ECU programmer and boost controller. Wish it were obvious. Feel like a NOOB.

 

Damn you Sean, I am look at 1.5" lift for the rear of the 4runner now!

[///M5 2,833]

Wrong direction

[nem 2,019]

Wrong direction

 

I know, but the runner looks good with a mild lift. All I would need to do is use FJ rear springs and adjust the bilsteins in the front to the same lift height and then have an alignment done.

[///M5 2,833]

Won't help it corner.

[nem 2,019]

Won't help it corner.

 

Neither does the added weight in the rear.

 

Maybe I will remove the running boards and see it I like that.

[nem 2,019]

But I don't drive like you guys, Aaron might say I drive like an old man.

[///M5 2,833]

I don't think anyone here drives like me.

[///M5 2,833]

I can't wait to upgrade the transmission mapping. All the shifting is bogus. Shift when I stand on it, otherwise don't please.

Our craigslist sucks around here.

I've never dealt with CL before now. kind of sketchy. probably just the type of person you attract when you sell a 1000 dollar car...

Sean go overkill/extreme in the power department. Even if you rarely extend its full potential, having huge overhead is great.

[///M5 2,833]

Let me phrase that differently. How much $$ do I want to spend and what is the best way to spend it.

You never saw me street race the geo metro.

Spend it in power and durability. Fuck weight savings.

Strong internals and boost homeboy.

Or when I would blast aroung in the 954.

I would get home and realize I averaged 110 mph on some trips.

Ha, not my question.

$3k short block or $10k.

[///M5 2,833]

I realize I am already "getting" nearly 12mpg in the Esky. It's GREAT!

[dem beats 1,223]

10k

[dem beats 1,223]

I don't know what a 10k tractor motor gets you but I want to touch it when it's done.

[dem beats 1,223]

My buddy got an LS block for $300 bucks, dressed it for less than 1500 and puts out 400hp or so for his rock crawler. I think he dialed it back to 300 as he doesn't use it but for climbing.

Only if you can make use of it. If you breaking shit or not hooking up, there is no point.

[dem beats 1,223]

I think Sean enjoys not hooking up regularly.

Wait, that sounds weird.

[dem beats 1,223]

Any of you computer nerds know when the 780 Ti 6gb version is going to drop?

So far it's just the regular 780.
