so i hope we all realize that's josh's truck, with pics from his website. just trying to pat yourself on the back josh or what??

Don't worry man, i'm just having fun. Just a nice discussion talking about how possible (or impossible) it is to get a 4wd toyota pickup with a 4cyl engine up to high speed... and be stable enough to be steering with you knees and take a picture. LOL

I have enough mods to make it work. I've turned every bolt on that thing. I know its tight and its only my fault if I wreck...

BTW I don't care if you all know it was me driving... In AZ you could be going 200 past a photo radar truck and if they don't get a crystal clear pic of your face and licence plate, they can't do a thing. Its come down now that the photo radar itself can't testify in court and say that they have legal juristiction. thus taking a photo radar ticket to court is like the officer not showing up. Just because there are pics of my truck doing 110+ doesn't mean anything. If a cop can see me steadily going a specific speed for more than 3 secs and prove it, they can pull me over, give me a ticket, and see me in court... till then, oh well....

Josh

someone want to figure out what kind of rpms his motor is doing?? just wondering how high they will rev?

Redline is 5750 in the 4cyl.
I've hit 5000+ more than a few times.
We need to know tire size, R&P ratio, top tranny gear ratio to figure RPM.

well, its a G52 tranny, 4.56 gears, 31x10.5 tires with some wear. Those speeds were in 5th gear.

you are welcome to figure out what RPM I was running. prolly pretty close to 5k rpm.

Just to let you know this modded 22r will hit 7k+ during a mis shift. I got the MSD ignition pretty much just for the rev limiter which I have set for 6200 rpm. I can rev the engine and hold that for several seconds. (clutch in) It does fine doing it and afterward.

EB set this engine up as a high RPM engine. That is what I wanted, and that is what I got

I don't have my tach installed because of the MSD ignition. I tried to install a used tach adapter but I think its dead.. I'm just going to have to buy a new one.

I have hit that 108 mark in my '94 when i first learned about spark cut... kinda gave me a scare actually. what exactly is going on when that happens?

I don't normally speed around in my underpowered oversized tire rig, but last weekend between Denio Jct and Winnemucca, NV we hit the limiter in my bro-in-laws '03 4cl (stock tacoma) at 104 mph at just over 5k rpms. Me being the streetbike variety said it was probly a 5th gear rev-limiter. So we ran up to 104 in 4th (don't recall the rpms on that one, but it wasn't redline) and sure enough ignition cut again. I'm not a flagrant speeder, but this is seriously the middle of nowhere. I think one stretch is about 30 miles, not turns, no trees, just sagebrush.

Using a final drive of .85 (W56 spec) I figured just over 5K RPMs. 5,041.3 for those who prefer exact numbers. No way to speculate tire diameter so I used a full 31" in the calculation.
Just an FYI maaaaan
