🔧 BUILD toyota wagon 3800

[Turbocharged400sbc]

speaking of hacked....

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

yes im using a cylinder head as a base for my turbo mockup stand.


iron buick v6 heads gotta be good fer sumthin....

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

and thats the 4th spot ive tried the filter...it may be my only option

 

[Mr_Roboto]

I think my buddy junked my 8445 collection and it may have had a coupla 4.3L heads in it. Probably a shame really.

Looks like not bad oil changes. Wanting to relocate the Lemans oil filter because I hate changing the oil where it is. Not really for performance or cool, sheerly due to laziness.

At least your turbo's mounted. More than I can say!

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Well, I finally found the interior parts for my WaGN.
Found an 84 cressida sedan in an SC junkyard....was a 2 hour detour further south.

So it only took 7 states to finally find an 80-84 with a brown interior just so I can get 3 trim pieces...for 19$

 

[Mr_Roboto]

You coulda probably machined billet pieces to replace those with for less time and money. Just saying.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

in my meanderings ive popped in all the trim panels.

i actually sat in it. crushed something underneath the car somewhere. but i did at least give away the generac genset that has been sitting in the back of it for uh a long time i guess.

ive been plugging away at the hotside.
all the parts are back in place to mockup...for equal length secondary's with the service room i want ill have to ditch the oem coolant tank and bracket.
also my sweet turbo support...oh well.
the pass pipe routing actually looks kinda fucking crazy strawish if i dont miss my guess

the drivers side will basically dictate the length of the passenger pipe so im going to start on the turbo merge before i go much farther as i know its the most restrained of the plumbing area's as far as fitment with the wastegate plumbing.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

my passenger side secondary pipe is going to look like a wicked waterslide

 

[Mr_Roboto]

does that infer work took place on this beastie? Just wondering. Leaning towards no however which is a shame. I miss the updates with awesome fabrication.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

ive constantly been screwing with it. right now its alot of trial and error fitment to get my piping to fit and be equal length.

plus ive been using the marvel saw at work to make my cuts so i mark up some pieces and take em to work to cut.

it'll get there someyear

 

[Donnie]

it'll get there someyear

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

if you're interested or know of anyone interested in this car as a roller please message me
will come with all the oem parts as well as a few techno toy tuning suspension parts and the aluminum lower core support.

:wtc:

I wanted to see this thing run more than the regal that we all know will never move again. Saw one of these all stanced out a couple weeks ago and thought of this car

 

[Dasfinc]

Um... Wat?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Putting 3800jz into my 68 f250 with zf 5 spd.

 

[boostedguy05]

So something else that is ruining that will never run again

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

the Toyota just needs to many ancillary parts made. the rear end sucks the trans sucks its a f****** Toyota
I would rather have a truck where I could beat the piss out of it and nothing would happen but spinning the tires

 

[1quick]

Donate it to me and I'll use all you minty used parts and get it on the road, you must finish wiring it though if it's not done yet

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

id be stripping all the 3800 and aux relay panel stuffs. i need it for the truck

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Do they make 40s of motor oil? If so I wish to pour one at the curb.

 

[SHOmuff]

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

well shoot, the Toyota still needs too much shit.

the trans is junk, biggest that can fit into the car, rearend is a toothpick that requires a 400$ bracket kit and a ford 8.8 to make work...sorta.

crap brakes for a 2k lb ae86 much less a 3k lb wagon.

trying to make all this shit fit is like trying to stick yer pecker into an electric pencil sharpener....even if I do stuff it in there...., surely more pain is soon at hand...

the truck has the 460/5spd. but with future fuel costs and the want to drive and use it, the turbo buick would give me both tq and fuel sippin', tons of room to enjoy, never worry about driveline....hell with my yob I could make the zf 5 spd bolt up to the buick....or *gasp* a 4l80e.

I just keep finding pita shit on the wagn that im really wanting to watch it be crushed just for the satisfaction.

horrible cars, no wonder mook got rid of his

 

[boostedguy05]

Wait. You expected to frakenstine a car and motor, and expected everything to bolt up!


Wouldn't it be easier to modify f-body stuff to fit. Shorten the axels, custom drive shaft. Shit like that. I know a lot of it is easier said than done, but common man think outside the box.

Sad to hear. You're not getting any younger either. Might as well enjoy the truck and get the 442 and HKs heap buttoned up.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

its too narrow of a track width.
even my narrow track cj5 rear dana 44 is too wide.

the truck has a lot of nib parts on the shelf, 79 f350 disc brakes/suspension parts to swap on, the 3.55 gear Dana 60 will giggle with the 3800's tickle, far better than the Toyota's 4.10.

and im not altogether sure the efi 460 is in that great of shape.....
