how are they planning on getting the x into 11's? a 2,000 shot of nos and slicks?

[cam2Xrunner]

WOOHOO! Rear disc brakes. Damn Rotora, what's so hard about making a rear disc brake kit? Guess I'll be running Rotora 15" w/8 piston calipers up front and the SOS kit on the rear. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I got the info from the post on TS that you made. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Why does it have the pricing sticker on the truck LOL??? Was this the FnF option?

Under the site they cal that the "replica" truck...

Firstly, the paint job is all off, the colors are weird, the truck rides too high and it has no lip kit... For anyone to even think they're driving the replica would be ashame http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I just thought it was funny how they still had the sticker on there because they might be selling it as the FnF model...

Aren't all NAS whatever events using pushrod motors anyways?

[CASlim]

Count down to 11 seconds?.....That's going to be a long count down.

[TrboTaco]

Go to the home page and read about it in the box. Supercharged and Intercooled....wonder if they are forgeing any of the internals.....They prolly think it is as strong as the 5vz.....guess we shall see....

[Gadget@URD]

If you are asking about the superchager for the X-Runner, That is likely going to be a joint URD SOS project. They are going to do the hardware and we maybe doing the fuel delivery and engine management.

how soon are we looking? im hungry for more power.

[8ate8]

how soon are we looking? im hungry for more power.



yea, i want two super charged vehicles.

[CASlim]

They're going to have to do a heck of a lot more than just forced induction to hit 11's. Unless they work the internals and gearing and a bunch of other things, I see it maybe in the 13's maybe 12's; especially with hp under 400.

[KAuss]

Considering they need 4 seconds... That means a whole body strip... Just turn the thing into a tube frame and leave nothing but the power / drive train...

*in Mr. T Voice* I pity the foo that buys that truck... If you don't get egged at least once a day then you're probably parking it inside...

[slamdtaco]

11 sec. is one step closer. still not gonna be anywhere near 11s thoughpics here (http://sosperf.com/photo_gallery.htm) go to the bottom

[Jonathan]

slicks and 450 flywheel horse will easily break the 11's.

[slamdtaco]

not sure if he runs slicks, but sho nuff is putting 359 to the wheels in his SR and runs mid 12s.

On a side note, an older style extra cab V6 tacoma hit 11s several years ago.

[KAuss]

11's will be tough... Like I said, their best bet is to make a tube chassis... Strip the hell out of the XR and put some slicks on there and you're golden http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[CASlim]

slicks and 450 flywheel horse will easily break the 11's.



hmmm...the super cars (enzo, GT, Diablo), which have 550+hp, are baring hitting 11's.

Do this...spit in your left hand, and put your dream of a X-runner hitting 11's in your right hand...now, which one weighs more? http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif

J/K It would be nice, but they're going to have to pull the rabbit out of the hat to hit that mark.

[dretaco]

why does everyone make a big deal of quarter mile time? its just an average to know how quick the car is... you can gut out a civic and stock it would run 12's.. i've seen it... who cares??? it will never hit 200mph........ quarter mile is just a short drag, go a little further and who will win? plus no twists and turns F that! sorry just my opinion i know many of u guys take pride in the quarter mile http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif

[CASlim]

I see your point. It's how our culture measures dominion over another; in car world that is.

It's crazy to think how passionate and consumed we are over our vehicles and what they can produce. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

More and more cars today are becoming part of the 500 club, and there's no end in sight of what's to come.

[Jonathan]

umm about the 500 hp supercars. yes they might not hit 11's or barely, but they were designed for track, and high speed. none were designed as drag racers. the gear ratios are horrible for that, and, they are not running slicks. the x has close ratio tranny, assuming it will hold the power i think it can do it. will mine ever? not a damn chance, but sos sc should be being tested as we speak.

jon

[CASlim]

The X-Runner is also built more for the track http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif


the gear ratios are horrible for that, and, they are not running slicks



um...the X-Runner has a 6 spd gear box, which is very similar to higher end cars like the vette, which is a very good all around performance car. The vette has over 400hp and it's running mid to low 12s.

Step out of the dream world johnny and into reality. You got a great truck, but the X is not by any means going to be a drag truck. Unless you have a lot of money, and change all of the under carrage.

the vette may have 400 horse and run low 12s but it also has what, something like a 3.27 or 3.42 rear end? chances are pretty damn good that if you take an x put that much money into it for the purpose of drag racing you are not even going to think of running a gear ratio near stock. probably have something like 4.10s so that thing will scoot out of the gait like a bat out of hell. take that same vette and put 4.10s in it and see what happens. wont come near 180mph but the thing will sure as hell pull a faster quarter than a 12.

i think you misunderstood what i was saying. what i was trying to say is that if they were going to set up the x for drag racing they would have to get the horse of a vette, if not more, but run a higher gear ratio. everyone is saying that a vette doesnt run an 11 second 1/4 mile so the x has no chance. they are wrong. if you get the balls up there, gear it right (not like the vettes 3.42 rear), like possibly a 4.10 (has a 3.73 stock, i believe) it does have the potential of getting down to those times

[KAuss]

This is why 1/4 IMO is a very stupid race... You never use all the gears in the car, you don't brake, and there are no turns... It is a quest to see who has the best power through the first 3 gears of the vehicle and hopefully hit redline while they cross the trap in 3rd... Not to mention if you drive an automatic, then there is no skill involved at all... At least in a circut you can still run the better line and be "skilled" at something...

Another thing that impresses people are 0 - 60 times that car companies try to squeeze out of 2nd... All of them try to make it so you can hit it near redline in 2nd gear to save on shifting time...

I generally can giva crap, but I just love to see the numbers http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif This is exactly why I'm never taking my XR to the 1/4s...

[slamdtaco]

I agree with you a little but, it DOES take skill to launch perfect and shift perfect all the way to the line. If it didn't take skill, then everyone could run the same times in similar cars/trucks. If you don't think so, then you should take your X to the track and see what kind of times you run and compare yourself to other drivers with the same truck as you.http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

[Jonathan]

ca slim, i should have worded my statement better. the x has a close ratio 6 speed, the super cars do not. ever drive a vet? viper? they will do over 60 in first, where the x runs out at 31. the wide ratios hurt 1/4. i am not saying it will hang anywhere with a vette top end ect, but, i do think it is better suted to 1/4, if traction permits. i have drove vettes and other nice cars, lol my uncle is rich, but even loping around residential, you only need first. they are spread wayyy out, in order to hit 180 or whatever. im not in a dream world, but i dont think 11 are out of reach. if the truck will hit mid 14's with slicks, which isnt proven but since traction is hard to come by, i think its very viable. 2.5 sec is too much to ask for. my prerunner went from low 17 to high 15, with only a s/c. little more money....you got it. and yes the faster you go the more hp it takes, but i dont think im being unrealistic.

It takes skills to do anything in life http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif However, I just rank 1/4 miles at the bottom of my list when considering the skills involved... It's a 3 gear race to the finish line that lasts 9 to 15 seconds most of the time... If a basketball game lasts 15 seconds we might never know who the better team is...

Next is AutoX, This is a LOT harder than 1/4 miles to learn and is probably one of the best type of racing / sporting event... Everyone that joins up isn't an ass, they aren't talking about their #s all the damn time, and they are always out there to have FUN... Learning how to control your car through slides and tight quarters is very frustrating... Toss in a few downshfits and most people don't do too well in this compared to 1/4s...

Next in line is road course racing... This is where you have to drive the car to the limit at every instance given it be a straight, a hairpin, or a chicane... Knowing your car fully will be the only way you can stay safe and possibly win.. Toss in competition and this turns into a deadly sport...

Finally is rally racing... You have to be a moron to do this without sponsorship and some kick ass computer controlled shifting device... You aren't even garunteed safety if you know you car inside and out... Compare this to 1/4 miles and you can pretty much say that it's a walk in the park... This is a deadly sport even if you're running only against the time... Totally rediculous if you ask me http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[cam2Xrunner]

If the XR and the SR use the same brakes maybe this kit will work for the S. I guess you could compare the part #'s from the x-runner to the S.

I'll check the #'s at work tomorrow if no-one knows them.

[cam2Xrunner]

Yeah it sucks. I'm surprised no one has done any big brake kits for the S-Runner. The X-Runner comes out and a couple of months later you have 3-4 different companies that are going to build a big brake kit. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif


I can get Rotora to design a set but they are going to want to see some interest. Also if you want they will build one for you if you let them use your truck to design one. It won't be free but it shouldn't cost any more than their other 13" kits with 4 piston calipers. Expect around 1400 dollars.

I think it has something to do with publicity. As in the S-Runner had none and the X-Runner is Toyota's flagship.

[Blangkang]

Well i have been checking up on sos every so offten and now I see that they have the front big brake kit out for the X.
http://sosperf.com/brakes.htm
And I know this was posted way back but for the newbs heres the rear disk conversion...
http://sosperf.com/taco%20brakes.htm

I also think they have some "other" things done and testing but WTF would i know

[8ate8]

Wonder if SOS is going to offer size options like Rotora.

[Racer_X]

2G's for brakes.... hahahaaaa.... just get the stock brakes for a GT Stang... then your done... bigger breaks, and much, much cheaper...

[Blangkang]

Feel free to elaberate? are you talking about Ford Mustangs????

[1st_TACO]

if it is a mustang he is talking about....why not mach 1 brakes....13in. (baer) from the factory up front.....

[Blangkang]

Well I just got a e-mail back from Doug at SOS. They are going to hopefully get the X runner on the Dyno by march. There tundra blower is going to be on the Dyno within a mtter of days http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[JR3016]

What you think about this rear disc for XR's? http://sosperf.com

[Blangkang]

They have been around for a while now, they look pretty sweet yes but they are the only ones who have them. I don't think most drivers could tell a diffrence in rear disk. Thats what I have heard, so be the first to get them and good luck

[cam2Xrunner]

I think it would be a waste if you haven't already upgraded the front's to big brakes.

[Kyle]

I think it would be a waste if you haven't already upgraded the front's to big brakes.


Exactly. Your front does something like 80% of your braking. Upgrade to rear disks if you want to look cool, upgrade your front brakes if you want true performance.

[JR3016]

thanks guys ....mmm....that why they have bigger rotors for front and slightly smaller at the back, vented front and solid back.

[lucke]

the SOS Pro Series seems to be the best deal... only $1295

http://sosperf.com/tacoma_pro_series.htm

and it doesn't convert it to 6 lug

thankyou!!! I sat on the toilet fo rmany nights wondering what a $6000 rear brake conversion was all about. Baer, Brembo,Wilwood ,SSBC etc dont even charge that much for a kit...but they dont have one for the xr ?yet?

[OXI]

I actually got the SOS kit, good price too!

The front in where the heavy braking will be but drums on a sport truck? C'mon!

The rotor on the SOS kit is the same size as the factory drum but it will look so much better and I will gain stopping power on the rear brakes!

I will also install a BBK in the front, my exhaust got damaged and I will be replacing it with the Banks cat-back next week also.

Have you had any issues with the rear conversion?:shrug:

Again I'm waiting for Jonathan drop kit and rear disk brake, but again don' know for how long! Still tempting by the drop and the rear disk from SOS:thinking:

[Goinginsane]

Dang why did you guys have to show me that rear conversion for only 1295.00 I was so much happier thinking that the other was so far outta my range at ~6k that I have totally quit thinking about how bad my truck needs the rear .. now you got me trying to scrimp pennies and I already have one penny fund dedicated to T/C or S/C whichever one I like the numbers of the most when I get the 5K together without the wifey knowing.. lol

Gumby I think I will have to bow to yours you are putting way more money alot faster than I had planned into your truck. :bow:

I wanted to be the first lowest e.t. but I have big house payment two kids a wife - a mother n law and too many toys at once and now the wife wants me to either get rid of some toys to finance my habits or quit. I have convinced her that the mustang will be our oldest daughters and convinced my daughter that it is beautiful and I will paint it whatever color she wants when she gets old enough to drive.

But it will still take me a couple months to get the money together for that TC or SC project.. :cry:

[Scott Bessel]

SOS also makes an $899 rear disc kit. http://sosperf.com/tacoma_prod01.htm

Can't tell the differences as their site sucks real bad...

LOL thanks man... you still have a shot at beating me... Unfortunetly I know how SEMA sneaks up on the unexpecting so I wont be able to take a brake and get to the track until after the sema show... I know about the toy's its my girls number one complaint. I have my truck that is in the shop on a perma basis, I have a new zx6rr that I cant ride in the rain, and then her expedition which has become mine allot more then her's, since she stays home with our son...

I do like the rear brake kit and need to find away to fit that into my budget.. I would have ordered it but my bull dog just cost me 1900 at the emergency vet

[TX-X]

Six lug.

[TahoesHateMe]

Is this new? I didn't see it before on there site. I wonder who's parts there using. Gotta be a way to make a kit for less then that.

http://www.sosperf.com/tacoma_pro_series.htm

[Simplex Effect]

They have been available for quite awhile. I just dont see a point in changing out the rears to disc because its all going to the front. :shrug:

Maybe its just to be that more unique.

[Xacto]

ya, to be completely honest that's more of a show off "say that i have it" kind of upgrade, because i think i read that something like 75% of the braking comes from the front brakes, and it's probably even more so because this is a pick up truck...so i mean, unless you're loaded and doing shows with this truck, or racing in reverse, i wouldnt see much point.

Oh yeah who likes to race in reverse!? All the way up to 45mph! :runaway:

[Racer_X]

I like to race in reverse :shrug:
Guess ya'll aren't cool enough for that!

[jared26]

I have found that while drums have adequate stopping power they lack modulation. However I have seen these before and don't have any urge to upgrade.

[Xacto]

I like to race in reverse :shrug:

haha actually, one morning at school i was looking for a space all pissed off and all of a sudden i saw a spot that i flew by, so i slammed the brakes (no one was behind me) and then slammed it into reverse and i left 2 ten foot lines in the process, but i got that damned space!:lol: :lol::waytogo:

Nice.

Reminds me of things that I do. I hate it when I would always pull up to the car wash (where all the cool kids meet and talk about cars) and have to reverse on the slick surface. Id always end up making some noise with the tires with the slightest amount of gas.

I was eventually called a ricer. But I replied with "thats what happens when you have torque!" :lol:

[TahoesHateMe]

The rear disc will help with heat after some abuse. Once I get the money up for the TRD fronts I plan to run this at a trackday at Willow springs. The rear disc will be better for modulation, and they get rid of heat faster then drums.

www.willowspringsraceway.com (http://www.willowspringsraceway.com)

with a 1.8 mile street corse, every little bit helps. BTW I've rode that with my M/C a few times already.

I agree, I am moving up from boring HS class with SCCA, I need every bit of help to stay competitive, if I get 1/10th of a second from running disc's in the rear, it is worth it, I could win a tight battle with those numbers someday...

Forget all other mods, brakes should be first period! I run with Dale and Mary Bahr and their Subaru(Toyota) and it is just awesome that their wrx can stop on demand while the XR takes more time and track to stop losing valuble time on the course...

I have the TRD front kit and rear disc conversion, not putting it on until after the season is over with because I am still second in the points in rear-drive street tire class in Milwaukee Region...

Damn, I wish it would rain every event!!!

Subaru(Toyota), yes, with Toyota being the majority shareholder of Fuji Heavy, it is now safe to buy Subaru's...

[DOGO X]

I'm thinking of buying them but Iguess I should buy the BBK for the front first :thinking:

[05Xrunner]

Does anyone on here have a rear disc kit on their X, and if so what brand?
Stoptech, Rotora etc. Thanks!

[rx-runner]

save your money and dont get the rear disc kit, rather get the BBK (big break kit)

I have the 355mm front BBK.....I would like to do a rear system.

[rx-runner]

dont bother, its not like it is going to impove anything. usually the rear system is for the e-brake. i think

[BRB GTG PP]

I know there is a balance you need between the front and rear brakes, but what if you upgraded the front to a BBK, and tried to retrofit the OEM fronts onto the rear:thinking:

I hate to tell you, but this is a definetly repost.:doah:
Got any pictures of it installed on your truck?

[gon2corea]

it is just a cable actuated disc. just like a parking brake works on all 4 wheel disc brake vehicles. http://sosperf.com/images/XRUN%20007a.jpg

[Scratchy]

it is just a cable actuated disc. just like a parking brake works on all 4 wheel disc brake vehicles. So how does the master cylinder hydraulics actuate the cable when you step on the brakes :confused:
Why is there a hydraulic line going into the caliper in this pic if it's cable actuated?

You must be talkin' about the parking brake only.....

my apologies, mis quote from bad information. :shrug: thanks for the help. :clapping:

i shut up now.:doah:

[RexRunner]

prob got mixed up, they are hydraulic activated just like all other brakes on the market (unless air) and the parking brake (emergency brake) is cable activated also like ever other car

[xrunjon06]

HEY NXRUNNER, doubted my rear brake setup eh? how bout a close up of your calipers on your x,from what I can enlarge it appears to me you have stockers on all four corners nicely painted up to look like stop tech rear & front brakes just one thing they have no rear disc set up for the x. Was that why all the side shots were at a distance? Your front aren't big brake not even stop tech and the rears definately not ,not even sos. so whats up with that?............ nuff said. :waytogo: boooyah !!

[xrunjon06]

rex and scratchy, your both correct, the cable activates the parking brake and the caliper is hydraulic just like other disc set ups.heres the catch; mate this system with the big brake set up and you have stopping power of air brakes. believe me they work!! just a note via the toyota parts mgr " toyota does not make any mod parts the big brake kit is via stop tech with trd decals for about 150.. per wheel maybe higher.i think stop tech's b brake kit is 2100 range and the trd kit is 2600 and change .mighty expensive decals on calipers. the bill for trd big brake kit and instal was 3007 and change! ................ xrunjon06 :waytogo:

who cares, still a nice truck!! just let be at that

[Chris D.]

well, I don't know much about what X Runners come with or have..
I never said it wasn't a nice truck..

[slamdtaco]

no one was doubting that you had rear discs. woopty doo. he was simply stating that SOS is very well known about on here. whay don't you ask them about their lowering kit for your truck? :D

get off your high horse and do some searching/reading first. :waytogo:

[xrunjon06]

SLAMDTACO, Let me start by saying that I was attempting to help one other x driver when he inquired about rear disc brake conversions.granted you guys that have been on this site for years have seen most of this new stuff come out.some of us new guys haven't.,afterall isn't this what this site is all about??well there seems to be some of us (not mentioning any names) that think they sit in judgement of newbies and their rides.personally I took ofense when nxrunner doubted me about my setup when all he had to do was check my profile or go to the gallery to see if i indeed had the setup.the woopty doo from you isn' taken well by me either.the set up to me is way cool and helps me out of some dangerous situations with the ****ed up drivers in my area. so I'm going to consider the source and move on .Maybe I'll take on your attitude or maybe nxrunners of my truck is god's gift to x-runners ...............BOOOOYAH!!! :waytogo:
