All the various lights on the dash will be sorted once I get the steering wheel airbag sent to him.

Outside video of the exhaust. Very happy with the sound levels as well as the sound itself. Should be able to start it up in the morning without waking the neighborhood 🤣

In the end game now!

VK45 intake manifold to VK56 head adapters are completed. Pretty stoked to see it get tuned and dyno'd in a few weeks time.

Intake setup is in! Waiting on the GTR injectors to get cleaned & matched and the rpm window switch to arrive

sirnixalot · 02-12-2022, 08:51 AM

I can officially hang with the cool VQ flame crowd now

Husam is getting the idle/throttle sorted with the new throttle body and intake setup currently and then it's injectors and dyno time schedule permitting.

Oh thx Sirnixalot, now I fear every time a Frontier pulls next to me......

It really is a sleeper, I should leave it stock height for a while and get a ladder rack

Set it up as an overlander. Rack mounted tent and the whole kit.

I am lifting it for sure since we get alot of flooding when its hurricane season her, I have 85% of the suspension waiting on it here. The overlanding stuff would be purely for looks, there is no wilderness here to explore or off road. I may get an awning for track days for some shade though.

Below is my take on the Titan swap

1st gen Tundra Bilstein 6112's with a custom top mount and Eibach 14" 650lb/in springs
Bilstein 5165 external reservoir rear shocks

Not pictured:
Titan SPC UCA's
Titan Moog LCA's with Whiteline bushings
Titan Moog inner & outer tie rods
Whiteline steering rack bushings
Ironman 2" lift rear leaf packs
Nisstec adjustable shackles
Titan Belltech 35mm front sway bar
Hellwig rear 22mm rear sway bar
QX80 front axles

Got to go up and see the truck in person last weekend. Got a few things done to it, installed the stereo/reverse camera, door speakers and wired up the intake runner rpm switch.

It's a riot, wish I got the video from later that night with it roasting 1-3 from a stand still

Still open diff but it will roast both with the locker.

The intake noise is just insane with the 90mm LS throttle body and 4" intake.

Should have it dyno'd by July and on island not long after

Zingston · 06-08-2022, 08:09 PM

It sounds sooooo good!

sirnixalot · 06-08-2022, 08:52 PM

It really does, the exhaust dumped before the axle isn’t that bad either but I may still extend it out the back depending on how all the Noico sound deadening material I have works out.

I’d upload more pics but the image hosting on here is pretty limited and I’m saving that for the z media
