No, it was powercoated over, I used my color paint pen to fill it back in the way it was.

It is Supercharger!

Next step, figure out what I'm missing, outside the coolant pump, spark plugs & a new belt.

 

 

Intercooler & mounting hardware, coolant pump, gates green belt & Toyota super coolant ordered. Need to figure out the fittings & hoses.

Then I need a tuner, the one I had does not want to do it.

 

Me boosta

 

You are not fucking around and I love it.

 

Wow! Fast shipping!

 

Wow, Chewy has really stepped up their game.

 

truly astounding how much they have!

 

Serra Toyota offers no tax to Az & free shipping over 75.00. They were like 69 bucks so I added another paint pen (I have gotten them from them before) I did not get the normal ship email so called & they said UPS won't ship the paint. I only added it to get free shipping so was like ok, just send my locks!

lol

 

keep those pens in the fridge.

 

Lug locks somehow got left out, I bought lug locks. lol & damn you no editing!

 

Plot twist, UPS just doesn't want to send anything to you.

 

They just brought the pump!

These just in!



Larger belt for the SC, swivel sockets to get into the crannies for intake removal & studs needed for a different oil coolant passage the SC needs.

 

Test fit the IC, not going where Tundra guys that don't have a condenser fan are putting them I have a condenser fan. Going to have to go under the fan.

 

I swear you need to get to a certain point on your main vehicle and then get another shitbox to overmodify.
that's my formula at least.

 

YOLO
He's got the Prius to DD while the tree's down.

 

MAF tube came, need to drill a hole for the vacuum fitting.

 

If you've been following along, it's mod mod mod mod mod sell piss off the wife buy mod mod mod mod...

 

Historically, that is accurate. But THIS TIME.........


lol

Seriously I really love this SUV & it's getting everything I have ever wanted so???

Also ixnay on the ifeway..

 

Riddle me this:

Ordered 4 fittings to route the IC coolant. 3 just came, one says out for delivery. Amazon guy is parked in the middle of the block, I walk over & ask him to see if he has it. He says he is on break and can't look at the system. I asked if it made sense that there would be a single tiny fitting in another vehicle & he said we have drivers all over here. He had dumped a liquid that smelled like beer out his door on the street.

Weird sh!t.

 

It's true that they can't log into the system on break. And no, it doesn't make sense from an efficiency standpoint, but I regularly get multiple drivers delivering items from the same order on the same day.

 

99.9% of my deliveries come in an Amazon van, Hertz van or small transit. The final fitting came from a woman in her personal car. Weird.

 

I order a lot too so I get it.
Maybe I should put my focus into one vehicle too.

 

It does seem pretty random.
We just started getting the EV Amazon trucks around here.
Still predominantly Sprinters & the occasional personal car.

that's weird looking, almost as weird as 3 boobs in total recall.

 

Go watch the Doug DeMuro on that van, it's pretty cool all the features in it design exclusively for delivering packages.

 

you want me to watch a guy talking about another guy's package. I bet you do.

 

Intercooler is in. Need to run the hoses that I have to pick up at Autozone. Pretty happy it fit there under the fan, less restriction up top to the radiator, condenser & engine bay& fully open to air!

 

You were going to be watching that anyway, might as well learn about a van while you're at it.

 

Thought I posted this yesterday.
I left the fittings out to squeeze the IC in. Upper was worse, ordered a 22mm ratcheting pivoting wrench to get it in the rest of the way.

 

Intercooler mounted, it's hideous but solid.




This came yesterday.

 

 

I have 26 days to get the SC in, made an appointment with Xact Dyno for the tune & dyno yesterday.

 

Basket built & tested. Ready to drop the tank.








Dealio in the background is the spring compressor, planning on r&ring the Bilsteins for the Dobinsons in front!

 

Pulley removal tool came, pretty solid!




Front Dobinsone in!

 

Is the height any different with the Dobinsons?

 

The Dobinson springs & shocks are 1.75", the Bilsteins were set to 1.5 (the choice was stock, 1.5 & 2.0) but people say it's closer to 1.8. Looks the same to me.

 

I'm sure the addition of the blower up front will cause it to settle a little more too.
