easy 2.7L mods ?

[carlosmfd]

Hi! I was just wondering- are there any engine modifications (such as throttle-body spacers,etc) that will boost power a bit but won't void the warranty? I'm buying a new LC90 in Bogota next month with the 2.7L.

Also, What mods give the most bang for the buck? I'm thinking a K&N filter and Headers, but that'll have to wait until it's out of warranty, for sure!

Thanks in advance, Carlos

I'd keep the engine un-modded in the beginning, the 3RZ has plenty of power. Want to really feel a difference off road? get a rear locker if you plan to wheel it (being in Colombia, I bet you'll wheel it)

Thanks, Tepui! I definitely will be going off-road. I've owned various jeeps over the years and believe that you offend the 4x4 gods if you come home without mud on your rig. I know I could be perfectly happy with it stock (it is a landcruiser, after all), but I can't help myself, so eventually I'll have no choice but to tinker with it. But for now, I'm just happy to be retiring to off-road heaven, and I can't wait to pick it up at the dealer.

Ever heard of the deckplate mod? It basically consists of adding a deckplate (yes a boat part) to your air filter box, allowing you to open it for more air flow... very simple and those who've done it seem to be happy with it and claim some performance gains. It's a cheap mod, not too invasive, and doesn´t seem to diificult. I've only read about it, so if you need more info, try googling "2.7 deckplate mod"

Tso eventually I'll have no choice but to tinker with it

Look at LC Engineering for some serious performance enhancements for the 3RZ-FE engine

Thanks! This'll give me something to work with. Carlos
