M4wdriveway Yota Exo

Replaced the temp sensor, CEL went off immediately and it actually believe it or not seems more responsive.  It would bog down when you hammered on the butterfly before, I just figured is was cause I was hand operating it faster than designed conditions, but it revs right up now.  Need to test it out this weekend, maybe hit up WP.

Fuel filter is slightly leaking, seal is missing a chunk, its only been apart 75 times jeez lol.  Could be the air problem???  What are you guys using for inline filters?  everything I see is not for efi.

that is an interesting thought, i wonder what my fuel filter on the buggy sees, i wait, its pre pressure before the pump so it doesnt matter AT ALL.  autozone, 3$ for a clear filter done.  i got a metal one figuring it would be a little less likely to fail racing, but clear is nice for anything else.

With the pump below tank level, I guess it should be okay to draw through the filter. Has been okay so far... But I know it's no a suggested configuration.

yota pre-wheeling again punchlist:

-#1 make run more-better 

-exhaust needs a couple clamps 2.5"

fuel:
-new filter element & 0-ring replacement kit from jegs $7
-new fuel lines 3/8" & relocate cell to the back

alt:
-connect 12V remote charge wire yellow wire--> terminal #1, white wire--> terminal #2

steer:
-drill out PS pump for more flow 13/64 drill bit, see page 12
-larger PS res 3.5" exhaust pipe
-replace TRE's with rod ends.   M23 x 1.5”

axles:
-change fluid drain plugs have disappeared
-new knuckle ball seals TG trail safe $50
-top locks on steering arms 12mmx1.00
-5th stud mod while front ends apart apart
-add some beef to bottom of front diff before there is no where to add beef too
-chop out bump stops
-move shock hoops up

brakes:
-cant get rear drums off. 
-ebrake would be nice. 
-front lines are both pinched, how the flowage?

-add some storage

-trailer needs all new u-bolts, or a trip to scarp yard 1/2x6x2-3/8

some day:
-rotate pinion:  cant use u-bolt on diff side, maybe bolt on like d60?  high steer is prob the way?  slide box style spring mount in lieu of shackles?  shackle's up front?  start over with new axle housing?  high pinion 3rd?
-t-case skid
-nitro tank

IMO the final result on the body is fugly as hell but the frame side work seems nice and IIRC from the end of the thread it's working well for him.

[etk300ex]

just a thought, maybe it would give me a little tilt on the pinion and also lower a little, doubt it would really do much though...

leafs kinda suck for adjustability, there going to have to stay for awhile though

[etk300ex]

you cant get a wrench on that fucking fuel pressure regulator to save your life, busted my knuckles like 8 times fuck!

Get Chase in there, he has small hands!!

[Nick]

This thread sucks!!

[etk300ex]

I think I need one of deez

[etk300ex]

also noticed last night that my cold start thing hose going into the engine was completely kinked, prolly no flow, I dont really think that would do anything tho

[etk300ex]

my tie rod is M23 x 1.5" dont find any rod ends with that thread 

[etk300ex]

Some of our friends were over last night with a 2yr old and he pointed at my truck and said "broken".  I said that pretty much sums it up hahahaha.

Alternator wired up for remote sense and warning light

Exhaust fixed

Should of grabbed the power steering res off the 4runner at J&J to extend mine.  Maybe trip there this weekend.

U-bolts for trailer ordered

What was that high pressure fuel line you were speaking of smike?  I cant find the thread.

Whats the consensus on fuel filter for EFI, if its before the pump does it matter?

Need someone manlier than I to get the fuel pressure reg off

Need to get to WP after I get the trailer fixed and figure this fuckin problem out

I run filters before and after the pump, they are cheap, injectors and pumps are not.
