Did The Drag Strip Ruin My Turbo Toyota Pickup?

/ @redlineranch.
In this weeks video I fix everything that broke when I took my turbo Toyota pickup to the drag strip. I knew there were some issues but I had no idea how bad it really was! From the extremely cracked manifold to the spark plug that went through the engine I start to wonder if it's time to build an engine for this truck to get it back up to full health, or if I just send this engine till it lets go!

The rods and pistons from a s/c previa (2tz-fze) are a direct replacement in the 2rz-fe. Lower compression and beefy forged rods can really wake up a forced induction engine! Crank also swaps but i don't think there is any benefit strength wise.

[@redlineranch.]

That's good info to know, I have a built engine going in my corolla with quality rods!

👊🏼 killer work dude

[@redlineranch.]

Thanks bro! Very much appreciate the transmission!

[@AbeFrohman528]

The manifold is twisted due to welding.. pull the manifold off and super heat it to straighten it . Then surface the head side flange....

Nice job dude I’ll be waiting for the next video 👍

[@redlineranch.]

Very much appreciate the support!

Great video my dude love seeing your content tanks for uploading more 🎉

[@redlineranch.]

Glad you enjoy it! trying to get content out more regularly

[@Metalheadmachine24]

Good stuff man. I love this truck!

[@redlineranch.]

thanks! its a fun truck for sure!

[@movinbutnotshakin]

My dad has the same truck! 220k. Still running well despite burning oil like mad.

[@SpeedFreakX]

Sweet vid! Keep em coming! What is your base fuel psi? Noticed your lambda scale was .60-70 even before boost. You still running 02 sensor plugged in? Almost 300 horse and 350+ ft/lb of torque is whatsup🤙🏼

I see a shop dog!

[@redlineranch.]

We’ve got 2!

[@jonathanstudt9040]

Maybe try just resurfacing the manifold face so you have better contact

[@redlineranch.]

That’s the plan, I’ll probably take it to the machine shop

[@walkertongdee]

Dude that manifold is toast don't be a Cheap Charley...

[@walkertongdee]

told you so...

[@maocori]

When you first checked compression on one of the first videos of this truck, when you changed the Head Gasket, is there a need to mill/rectify the head in a shop? I remember you checked valve clearance lash and checked compression but you just threw in a new gasket and it kinda fix it?

[@redlineranch.]

I would always suggest to get the head surfaced at a machine shop, that’s always the best practice to make sure the head gasket lasts as long as possible.

[@walkertongdee]

Well you pumped oil into your tester and ruined it lol...

[@lucasmatthews8552]

What are your AFR's under boost?

[@redlineranch.]

I use lamda, but I’m usually around 12.5-12.7 AFR but the last time I was there in one run it went lean and I didn’t notice right away it was at 1.0 lamda which is like 14.7 AFR, I’m all but certain that’s what did it in

[@lucasmatthews8552]

@@redlineranch. Yeah that sounds like what did it, same thing happed to my ranger. I put some large holes in my pistons. What was your highest PSI?

[@redlineranch.]

@@lucasmatthews8552 I was running about 15-16psi when that happened, I think, it was dark and my boost guage doesn’t have a backlight, so it could have been a little more or less, but that’s what it made on the dyno with the same setup

[@Josh.Davidson]

In vehicles I've tuned, 12.5-12.7 is too lean for a turbo under WOT. NA sure, but under turbo and running boost you need to run richer. Unless there's a reason these older engines can run leaner, you may want to richen a bit which will give you more wiggle room to dial in timing + boost.
