    Cummins r2.8 into 1990 Toyota 4Runner

    How does it drive? I absolutely love this chassis, but the 3vz is a real pain in the ass to work on. However I have been lucky, no HG problems. She only burns a bit of oil, just keeps going. What would be needed to keep the IFS?

    94 4runner solid axle project

    do not try to use the stock rear suspension. The control arms are to short, the geometry dosent work out at all. go leafs all around right from the beginning. There is no way I could even the rear out with the front. One tip, Remove the engine and frame. this would have been...

    Stock 91 CD player

    93 4runner antenna broken

    I remember hearing about a OEM alternative option for the 4runner power antenna. I really like the antenna on my jeep, its just a flexible piece of metal, if I need to take it off all I gotta do is unscrew it. Does anyone have any pictures of this? I like keeping my rig all oem toyota. cheers

    Really Strange Vibration!

    10X on the oem u-joints. My 4runner has 150K on the clock and it has a slight vibration at around 60mph. As far as I know it has the factory joints thru-out, but I bought it used with 135K on the clock. Looking forward to days when I have more time to figure out this problem.

    1991 3.0 V6 w/ high idle.........

    the first time i put my 3vz intake manifold on I switched two hoses. I essentially hooked the fuel return line to the wrong hose and filled my engine with gasoline. It was running out the throttle body, and filled the entire exhaust system. Amazing it dident hydrolock, i changed the oil soon...

    1991 3.0 V6 w/ high idle.........

    that looks like a nice rig. 2X on the throttle cable. Maby take off the air inlet and view the valves range of motion... I know how fun it is to take off the intake on a 3VZ, is there a chance you left a vaccum port open?? What does it do on a cold start?? Idle around 1500 rpm??

    91 4runner

    hell if it was rust free I would take it, even with a blown engine. it would be great for a 5vz swap. Which I think is the best of both worlds. You get the old toyota fit and finish, with new age power. I guess when you think about it the 5VZ isint really new anymore, I bet the next swap of...

    3.4 Toyota or 4.3 Vortec swap

    This is indeed good news. I though it dident make much sense, but then again, in this day and age I dont doubt it. Now if I could just figure out how to sneek in a few turbo diesel 80 series, I really have to take a whole day and read all the importing threads, but I have a hard time sitting...

    3.4 Toyota or 4.3 Vortec swap

    I was under the impression toyota would not sell parts into the USA for vehicles that were not sold here. I tried to order the ring gear for a 1FZ flywheel from an online site, and i was told they could not get them. Seems like toyota lawyers are worried about a lawsuit. I would not let parts...

    91 4runner

    the 3vz is tough to work on, lots of stuff under the hood. but i really like my 4runner. just stay away from rust, thats the shortfall of these rigs. I powerwashed out my rockers and everyother little crevis. then poured linseed oil in there and drove the piss out of it. My 4runner as about...

    3.4 Toyota or 4.3 Vortec swap

    not trying to offend anyone, but I think that toyota has superior engineering, espically when compared to G.M. In about 15 minutes I will be heading back to school, in Flint Mi. the home of gm. That city is so typical of the gm/american auto attitude. Lots of stupid, fat and lazy people there...

    turbo help needed. trying to wrap up the loose ends

    ntsqd, your correct 100%. The automotive aftermarket is so vague in terms of the infomation it releases. Even if they did release data of some kind what way can you be certin that its true and not made up or altered in some way. For what its worth I have used a couple of autometer boost/vac...

    turbo help needed. trying to wrap up the loose ends

    ntsqd, are you questining the accuracy of the aftermarket gauges? Rightfully so I think. I was just reading machine design at work and they sell top of the line pressure transducers, for like 500 bucks. There is no way a 50$ autometer gauge is going to be as accurate as that. However it would be...
