Rey's Prerunner Build AKA Project Darkstar

You have comms installed? I’ve heard some radios can have a draw that will kill a battery in a couple days.

 

Not hard wired into the rig just a baofeng

 

Have you tried a DMM reading amperage over the fuses to try and ID what circuit it’s on?

 

Yanking the battery and charging it today. Then I’ll begin going through fuses and testing draw one by one. Confirmed today that it’s not the switch pro.

 

This shot though. DAMN

 

First shot is fire!

 

Thanks boys! The photographer that rolls with us is awesome

 

So's the truck he's shooting.

Get any of the turbo sounds when shutting off the engine after uninfilter mod for SAIS? My Tacoma dure did!

 

Little whistle nothing louder than it was

 

Build update 4/15/2023

Removed the prospeed catch can and replaced it with a single radium unit. Also, sold the Magnusson and will be ordering the following Whipple, smaller pulley,750cc injectors,rcf throttle body and adapter . More to come as I work through the to do list.

 

Awesome

 

do you have a parts list for this? This is definitely one of the higher items on my to-do list.

thanks!

 

Yep I'll send you a message

 

Appreciate it. Thank you!

 

Build Update-5/16/23

Whipple, Injectors, Prospeed intake, RCF TB shipped. Still confirming if we can make an LS TB work if not then RCF will go in with a custom adapter plate from @snivilous. Hopefully get this all on soon.

 

Build Update 5/19/23

Boost 2.0 parts are rolling in. Still to finalize a few things like the throttle body adapter plate to run the RCF to the Whipple.

Hoping to install once we get all the parts in and adapter plate made up. I've got an evap leak I need to hunt down before it goes to the tuner. Also ordered a larger filter for the prospeed intake since I personally feel its on the smaller side. The wrapping has begun!

 

Nice Rey! If you don’t mind, next time you get it out to admire, can you measure from the bottom of the intake runner to top of blower please.

 

Yea, for sure!
