You need a fuel shut off solinoid or manual valve.

you may think i'm crazy but i'd rather have a manual fuel shut-off setup like this one: http://www.4btswaps.com/forum/showthread.php?18880-4BD1T-Into-1999-Suburban&p=175945#post175945

I have a fuel solenoid, I just had to adjust it more, and it’s working great now.

Its going to be pretty slow this week, I’m waiting on parts.

as long as you get it all right, it's what matters...

got my intercooler in today, its just a cheap ebay one for $100. Hopefully ill get a custom made someday lol

 

[cRiPpLe_rOoStEr]

water to-air or air-to-air?

 

[steed]

It’s a cheap air to air, this allows me to get all the tubing done. Once I come back from afghan next year ill get a custom intercooler made to fit the front of the truck.

It's pretty much together, I ordered a 95 Land Cruiser steering box so i'll have a reverse rotation box to clear my oil pan. Then I still need new motor mounts, shifting linkage, throttle linkage and new front springs then it should be on the road.

I love the stance of this taco man, good work!

Does your LC steering box have the upgraded 105 sector shaft? If not, I'd recommend getting it if you intend to crawl with this beast. The stock 80 series sector shafts have a bad habit of twisting and breaking.

I doubt it, its a junk yard box. i just got an email from the yard canceling my order.... but luckily i found another one on eBay lol. This one is out of a wrecked cruiser so im willing to be its not upgraded, although I’m goggling it now. Maybe i can swap out the shaft or something.

I believe that you can swap out the shaft. I can get the P/N from Toyota if you'd like.

There are a couple of threads on IH8MUD about this:

that would be awesome, so its a toyota part and not really after market? is there anyway to tell if it already has the new shaft?

 

[char1355]

I'm really interested to see how that turbo set up is going to perform. Lots of guys are swapping those onto 6bt's but I believe yours is the first 4bt I've seen with one. Nice work.

 

[steed]

It's going to be intresting, right now its programmed for the 6bt so the vains arnt closed as much as i want them to be. Once i get it on the road im going to play with the programing, right now you can feel the differnce in the idle when you hit the switch from auto to manual. it isnt much but you can tell.

Have you thought of running a saginaw scout box? They are strong, plentiful, and can be made a a faster ratio.

I much prefer the saginaw stuff to the toyota boxes, used quite a few scout boxes in taco swaps ( never one with a cummins tho). I have never used an 80 box, but have plenty of experience with truck boxes and fj60 boxes...

I'm not 100% sure how to tell if it's a new shaft, as I've got a 60 series so the majority of my knowledge is focused on 1990 and older Land Cruisers.

I'll do some searching and find out for you. In either case, the 80 steering box, with the upgraded sector shaft, is bulletproof. I've never seen one break, nor a 60 series box for that matter.

Picked up my Clutch Master Cylinder adapter and T-case shifter and center plate.

The Clutch Master Cylinder adapter was made by a local machine shop. The T-case plate was made by unorthodox customs.

I’m pretty stoked I just received my hydro booster from www.custompowerbrake.com, $359 plus shipping. Comes with adapter for a direct bolt on replacement for the Toyota vacuum booster. He said he can make them for a lot of different makes and can position them at an angle or different position. Here’s a picture of mine upside down in my 2002 Tacoma, if I have it right ride up it hits my injection pump.

I'll be referring to this thread a bunch... I'll be putting a 4bt in a tundra... awesome build and congrats bud!!! Thanks for your service sir!!
