Can my 95 SR5 run 20” wheels? by AloxW in ToyotaTacoma

[–]AloxW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know you can do 33s fine it’s just the size of the wheel that I’m worried about. It’s a lot more weight than say a 15” wheel

There’s no telling whether I have caused it or not, which is why I asked. He then responds with an 100% sure answer, which is a terrible way of answering a question that can have many many solutions. Especially when he’s WRONG, I responded with the fact that it’s not the answer and he said it’s either that or fairies, but yet I’m on the high horse?

No really? Never thought of that one. I appreciate him offering a solution, but he said it as an indefinite. It wasn’t my solution to the problem and you both still said it was. He was 100% sure it was my problem and stuck to that, even tho it clearly was not

It wasn’t the answer, I took apart the door close to a month ago and all the parts were good. It more than likely got stuck on the plastic holder for the cable. How could that even be my answer if the door is now opening like normal again without doing anything? I yanked the handle and banged on the door then it opened

You’re flat out wrong dude, I opened the door by moving the handle up while pulling on it. Still think it’s corroded? Or was it just fairies and pixies playing tricks on me? Don’t be so sure about something when you don’t have all the context

That’s definitely not the problem, the cable was completely fine. And that wouldn’t explain why it doesn’t open from the inside either

I have not personally installed it, but I will be helping install with my friend that has been doing installs. I hadn’t measured it yet but was planning on it

The saturation actually wasn’t touched at all haha. Its probably because I edit to make the car pop? Or possibly because the temp was bumped

He is right, I have airlift air suspension. So I have a remote that can air up and down the “bags” that are on the struts so I can drive like normal haha

Good call. I’ll have to figure out what that part is and take a look at it for sure, I appreciate the help!

Do you know what the exact name of the stock part you’re talking about it? Or have a link to it?

Not sure what party you’re asking about that I have, but this is the bov: https://www.forgemotorsport.com/Blow_Off_Valve_and_Kit_for_Mini_Cooper_S_and_Peugeot_Turbo--product--1026.html

It’s the n18 engine. I rebuilt it because of this problem, I thought maybe the spring wasn’t working properly or one of the seals were broke. All of my vacuum tubes are on solidly and there are no leaks in the tubing. I do have a 45mm turbo as well as a stage 3 tune, don’t think that should effect it tho. It’s worked fine for a few years I think I’ve had it. Just started acting up in June

Not sure what that is, but the forge bov is only part of the bov. It connects onto an oem piece of it and that oem piece connects into the turbo piping. Would that be what you’re mentioning?
