I have a dongle Museum

 

I sure hope the internet knows what a dongle is…

 

In addition to these I have a Carista, something else for Android devices & about 1/2 dozen stand alone BMW, Audi & VW DONGLES...

lol

I have no clue what the internetZ calls a dongle museum, but here is mine:

Retired (available if someone wants)
ToyoBaru BR86Z ECU TEK, & OVI Tune





Current HP Tune, Simon for BMW & Techstream for the Tree.

 

What's the best way to do this?

 

I think most were running this hardwire kit: High-current Universal Kit to Hardwire Fuel Pump to Battery – DeatschWerks That's the route I was going until things changed on my setup. I sold my unused hardwire kit to @HulkSmurf14 but I still have the Radium Engineering bulkhead stud kit that's looking for a new home. Electrical Bulkhead Stud Kit, 6 Pack (radiumauto.com) let me know if you're interested.

 

$66 Deatschwerks - High-Current Universal Kit to Hardwire Fuel Pump to Battery (FPHWK-10-HD)

I ran the hot wire kit from battery to the canister plug. Spliced it to the pos/neg pump wires. I capped and heat-shrinked the fuel pump pos/neg wires from the fuel pump module.
I was told there would be no voltage drop doing it this way. I've seen a bus bar stud bulkhead connection installed on top of canister to keep the same gage wire.
It's on with ignition so you can also install an inertia switch.

 

I was lurking on a few posts about coolant bypass for TB and transmission. @Saltyhero13 @Silver17 then led me to Prospeed offering the valve body kit like IPT.
I plan on doing it with the Transgo kits myself in the future. Watched John at IPT do the valve body. Not too bad of a job.
What interest me was ProSpeed also using the Transgo kit. Just found it interesting...transgo instructions on the table.

 

PROSPEED said they were releasing some Tundra transmission related items "Soon" TM but I haven't seen anything. Curious to see what the labor cost will be on the IPTs since we know what the Transgo kits generally go for.

 

No clue about best, but I direct wired to the battery, ran the wire to the pump and used the pump power to energize the solenoid & got a spade kit from the basket to the pump.

No issues with power since I did it

 

If I didn't have to prime the system to not cause extended starts this is the way. Thanks for mentioning the fuel pump module power wire used instead of ignition source!

Edit: aftermarket fpr causing system to not maintain pressure after shutdown.

 

really really...what do these shift kits do if they don't fundamentally strengthen the internals?

do they increase the shift pressure? on the same friction plates that fail if you overload the damn thing?

I'm asking this from a position of ignorance.

 

Spitballing that you become the Mach 5!!!! (maybe go mach 5)???

And if that were so what would 3836.35 translate to in a 0-60 & 1/4 mile????

lol

 

From my understanding yes with the transmission as the same failure point. I haven't experienced the shift problems others have but I'm not pushing high power #s that others are on their builds.

 

The valve body kits or IPT ones replace accumulators and upgrades valves and plugs that fail causing leakage which leads to clutch slippage. It firms up pressure so you have almost direct engagement with no overlap. This helps eliminate clutch pack slippage reducing burnt packs. When shifting one gear is overlapping another giving you that smooth transition, as I was told. You'll hear people say after a shift kit you get whiplash shifts.
The kits also upgrade parts that wear preventing torque converter and clutch pack issues.

At or under 600 HP/TQ the trans is ok? (he asked hopefully)

 

I toasted one transmission...also.
Current one has been going strong since 2013. I have the 1970's shift kit as John from IPT calls it. I have metal accumulators in C3,B3 and C2 with limiting rods in each. It prevents shift overlap in 2-3-4 and has direct clutch engagement. A few of us put them in back on tundratalk. John says it doesn't hurt and a built valve body would be more beneficial.

 

All the parts arriving today! Finally have more Magnuson 1900 parts as well as another half dozen 76mm pulleys for the 2650

 

Really want to install the Siv pulley, just so not into lifting the SC.

 

There's pulling the radiator....
And you'd probably need to update your tune...

 

It's funny you say that, I have a Mishimoto I have not installed yet, I got mired in the BMW motor swap & while I was in there boondoggle that consumed the winter.

 

2.0 for 1900 in? I know...just to have!
Ordered!

 

My kit is identical except for the case!

 

I only removed idler pulley and crossover to remove snout. Did it 3x's chasing that air leak and snivs modular pulley install.

 

I'll get it shipped out Monday! It'd be tomorrow but currently packing to take the other supercharged toy racing this weekend

 

Story on that monster transporter?????

 

No rush as it's a ways out before it will be used. Thanks and have fun!

 

It was listed for $9k, and I had already been looking at toter homes and then found out you don't need anything special to buy a semi and register it as a a motorhome has sleeping quarters, tons of storage, and will haul everything I own at 80mph while getting the same or better mpg as the tundra it is absolutely awesome, and now the tundra can live a life of relaxation and this thing doesn't even know it's loaded with the buggy on it. For the price it was too cheap to not experiment with!

 

I just got to it in the buggy thread. lol

I had not been in there in a while, been reading this entire time, finally got to 2-5 when you introduced the new character in the sniv show!
