Topic #91482 133 posts Started by kurt95gt

Chill guys. You know it's getting done shortly cause I won't let him stop. Even though I have done most of what got done today....lol but most of the rest will be him. Today we will be having a few friends over so we will have an extra set of hands in on the pulling. If there is any questions or certain things anyone needs to know post them and we will answer.
I expect to see TRD skirts on as well... Lol

we don't have room for an air tank or he'd have one already. He has too much other junk to be able to get one...lol

We will do as many pics as we can. I will make sure of it.
Air compressor isn't that big mine is a 20gal tank it takes up as much space as a stack of wheels/tires.

Anyway a question I never asked: does the 1mz use premium fuel?

>This engine uses a returnless fuel system, basicly a ordinary fuel pump with the regulator inside the tank. I adapted this system by swaping out my 5SFE pump for a sienna pump (bolt on, plug and play), hacked off a section off the steel return line next to the pump, strapped on the regulator and Tee-d the main line to the return line on top of the fuel pump cap.


What do you think? Lol. It's from his v6 swap.
