4runner

Currently I have a 2uzfe non vvti that needs new head gaskets. I did a timing belt job and left a blue paper towel in the cooling system. The car is a 2003 4runner with 297000 miles and stock ecu. Would larger valves and stiffer springs net any gains on stock ecu? Would there be any reason to...

Hey all, Just bought a 4runer that has been 1uz swapped already. I'm going to transplant it into my solid axel ln106. 1) anyone have any pics of a solid axeld 1uz swap? How's the clearance?? 1.5) I've seen things about engine mounts and mounting the engines higher, how does that work and does...

I looking for transmission extention housing to covert it back to 2 wheel . Right now . I want to convert it back to 2 wheel then back to 4 wheel because the transfer case for 1uzfe is on the left hand side and the vechicle i am swapping it into is on the right hand side.

Hello everyone, it is a pleasure to be here. My name is Gastón, I am 29 years old and I have a 4runner 1st gen 22re, I will tell you my story. I have been wanting to mount a 1uzfe for me 4runner for a long time ... But the information in my country is very scarce and I have to search a lot...

I blew up the motor in my 2005 4Runner Sport. I got forced off the highway in a near-accident in the middle of a bad storm, and plowed into deep water at 50mph. Apparently got water in the intake and hydrolocked the motor. Dropped the oil pan and found pieces of the #2 rod and what looks like an...

Here's the Truck: IMG_52134495177976 by Numbchux, on Flickr I've had this thing for about 10 years. Bought it with a blown 22RTE (loose drain plug after oil change), put a 22RE in it which had been really poorly maintained and blew a head gasket. I decided I wanted more power, so about 8 years...

I am just about complete and thought I would share some pictures and info. This is my second swap, first one was a '91 Ls400 1UZ into a 2001 4Runner. Sold the 3.4 engine for $1100 with all the wiring to a guy replacing his 3.0. Bought a 1998 LS400 for $500 and started making my motor mounts...

I have been looking around and there seems to be a number of these trucks running around with finished swaps. But I cannot find anything with information on which headers were used and problems that were run into. Quite a few 4runner pages but I don't think much of that is going to transfer...

I'm at the stage of my swap in my 84 4runner to get the cooling situated. I have read some many different things out there about cooling setups and how it can be a tricky part of the swap to get right as well. What have you guys done in a similar vehicle that is working well for you? I'm trying...

okay looking for opinions and suggestions for my next project.. looking to ad FI to my 1uzfe swapped 4runner. basic low down= engine:90 ls400(all emissions stripped) all stock otherwise drivetrain: R150(factory v6 runner drivetrain) fuel supply: factory 90 v6 runner...

Well, I'm lining up all my ducks to get started on this. The truck will be in the garage for a teardown likely next week some time. Plans are: SAS (haven't decided between FJ80 axles or just a Toy/Hilux front just yet) R150 v6 transmission 1uz from an SC400 (pretty much have access to...

Hi all. I have a 1uz in my runner and I can't seen to get the cooling side of thing right. I have an oversize full alloy radiator out of a supra in it running a custom made shroud with a 14" thermo fan on the inside, EL falcon fans on the outside pushing. I have removed the double bypass side of...

99 4runner 2UZ-FE conversion with TRD Supercharger Started my conversion. Sold the old 3.4 liter v6 and now getting ready for the 4.7 liter up grade.

Our local pullapart yard had a 91 ls400 come in the other day so I grabbed everything I could think of. Ok here's what I got off my donor car, the smaller ecu is for abs so ignore that These are the plugs on my engine harness. I'm pretty sure these go to ecu And them theres these...

ok so im liking this way to much .. so my wife says :) picked up another 1988 4runner 3.0 auto , blow head gasket otherwise in great shape . Donor transmission off a 1995 T-100 3.4 auto. modified the steering stabilizer and e-brake bracket

ok so ive started on another swap .. we were waiting for the 3.0 to sell , finally did so now onto this swap. So the owner of this truck wants to try and do this with out a body lift , so well be lowering the front diff and modifing the sc oil pan . wants to try and keep a/c and cruise control...

I've be looking and looking for info on this swap. Every body says its a pretty easy swap but i'm having a hard time finding any body who has done a good write up on it. I have a small window of about 3 months before my first baby is born and I want to make my rig more reliable. I have just some...

Hey guys figured I would say hello. Here is my 94 SC400 when I first bought it for $500. It needed a timing belt a idler pulley and a water pump. I bought it for the engine. As of now I am currently driving it as my DD, until I finish my 3.4 swap in my 93 4Runner.

Looking for a complete swap for my 4Runner. Preferably out of an LS400. Looking for sub 150K engines with an uncut harness, all accessories, ECU and a transmission in good shape. Can pick up within a 500 mile radius of Phoenix! Thanks!

here is some pics of the uz swapI am doing, the block I am using to get the mounts made is a VVTI block and the engine I am using a normal nonvvti engine- however there are size differences to be considerd in the mounts between the 2 because of the head height diff. bad v6 good v8...
