Hello all fellow mudders,
I've seen A LOT of threads on power adders for the fj 60/62. Some say this and that work and some say they won't. I've got a fresh 89 fj62 with a 3fe that i am only going to be using as an off-road toy. I live in MO, so they only go back on emissions inspections to like '95 or '96 or something like that, so I'm already planning on taking out the dual cats and running dual 2 1/4" pipes from the factory cat placement back, probably a dual side exit, if room permits. I've though about de-smogging the engine, but I read in a thread on here that there is one system that you do want to leave hooked-up so the computer won't just dump a sh!te load of fuel into the engine to compensate for the increase in "sensed o2", so I'll have to look further into this. Also, I'm trying to figure out, how far advanced the computer goes in this vehicle, as I'm thinking about adding a hydrogen booster, just for slight mpg gains and cleaner exhaust for the environment. Not sure if this has a map sensor or just goes off the o2 sensor
AND I DON'T WANT ANYONE IN HERE SAYING THAT STUFF CAN'T WORK, BECAUSE I HAVE MANUFACTURED MY OWN AND THEY DO WORK (THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT DESIGNS INVOLVED AND YES....SOME OF THEM ARE POWER HUNGRY AND GIVE HARDLY ANY RESULTS....THAT IS NOT ALL)(i just need to add a pwm for better power consumption)...most people say there can't be any gain in efficiency because your drawing current from the alt putting a load on the engine....but that's exactly what its about (you may be putting a load on it, but no where near what headlamps do and your getting a hell of a lot cleaner exhaust, plus running it safely leaner - hence less gas consumption and the gas that is consumed is consumed a hell of a lot more completely). I wonder if they think that gasoline production is efficient and environmentally-friendly. ANYWAY...OFF TOPIC THERE...LET'S GET BACK.
My question is this: can anyone say for sure that there are any power adders for this engine besides throwing huge money in a turbo, etc? I've never had an engine, that you can't just throw on a bigger throttle body, upgrade injectors and pump, upgrading ignition system, etc., etc. I just don't see anyone saying anything about this. Ofcourse, this forum is soo huge, I could probably spend the next 6 months in here and not read everything. I'm trying to find some cheaper upgrades for power. Also, are there no other heads that fit this block??
Again off-topic, but has anyone done a swap for a supra inline-6? And which would be better route of going for 4x4 for an engine swap...back to old school carb or fi sbc or go for a cummings diesel?

I have no clue what a turbo mod costs
..forgot about that
Thank the boys at 3FE Yahoo.
Ya, it's a good place to dig for stuff.
