In brief this is a 2JZ-GTE into a 4x4 Tacoma. WARNING: Image and GIF heavy. This is mostly a copy of my thread in Supraforums, but will try to dig for more content when I find time. Some things will be old, but as a TLDR I have already completed the 2JZ swap with 4x4, AC, and cruise control. My project now consists of compound turbos, 2010 Superduty 1 ton axles, and a marlin crawler dual transfercase tacobox.
The early stages:
I guess I'll start the thread with the brakes:
Brake Upgrade to Tundra Calipers and Rotors
This upgrade is very similar for similar generation 4 runners with the exception of brake lines. The brake lines on the 4Runners are hardline (as opposed to the softlines of the Tacoma), therefore the 4Runners require no brake line fitting modification. Click here for more information.
Details:
Calipers: Stamped "13WL" from an 2006 Tundra 4X4
Raybestos FRC11550
Raybestos FRC11549
Rotors: Factory fit replacement for 2006 Tundra 4X4
Brembo 09.8196.81 UV Coated
Pads: Factory fit replacement for 2006 Tundra 4X4
Brembo P83066N
Factory Tacoma brakes:
Cut Splash guard to fit larger Tundra Caliper:
Trim banjo bolts (only two threads is plenty):
Install rotors and calipers:
Install pads and associated hardware:
I will post the suspension soon...
