Message: [QUOTE="White_monster, post: 648333, member: 594"] Well spring 2013 is fast approaching and my build is finally about to take shape. Been waiting for a few pieces I decided to change out on the engine and they are getting close. So to pick up from where I left off last. Well the Elite Stage 5 trans is here and sitting on the floor connected to the engine. Suncoast HD torque is chilling in the box still along with the Elite billet flex plate. Tadd's working on a solenoid update for it so hopefully that arrives as the final touches are being done. Engine changes are not major but still important. To start with the main studs were pulled since the bores weren't in line it turns out and there's no one close that has the right boring tooling. So factory bolts are back in. Next I ordered forged pistons from Morgan at Midwest Diesel and Auto and they should be here in another week as they were being coated this past week, YAY!!! I picked up some new Tial MVR gates as well to replace the burnt Precision gates I have. Also got a good portion of my new custom turbo back exhaust built, well the hard part at least which is the down pipe. It's all 304ss and uses vbands for the joints and I'll use most of the hangers as well as a flex pipe to avoid cracking. Pulling the Elite twin fueler kit in favour of something different. ATI damper is also on the bench ready to go on. As far as turbo upgrades go I got a big billet double ball bearing Garrett GTX5533R which is a 91mm. It's going to go on late summer as time doesn't permit this time. That info will come later. Mechanical gauges have been added to the cab as well. Couldn't stand the dashdaq anymore as its just ugly to look at personally. Also removed and sold the RCD 4-link and put OUO ALA's on. Also bought Billet Badges for the truck too and they are being made now. Also picked up a True Trac for the rear. Truck would be in the garage now but I got one more trip to BC to make at the end of the month then she gets parked. Put my Tacoma back on the road so that's what the wife will use. Build starts May for sure. Here's some pics of stuff and how they are going.
