yotaman's 2nd Gen 3.4 swap! - Page 2

yotaman · 06-29-2007, 05:19 PM

Some pictures for you guys.

My laying over motor working on fuel line and heater hoses.

This where you flip the fuel line to the passenger side (this is the line already flipped to the passenger).

This is the fuel line after it's flipped and connected the the 3.0 hard line (look over my drawing skills).

Because of the way the 3.4 fits in 2nd gens they sit higher than they do in the 3rd gens.

A lot of people put a body lift on. I'm planning to put a hood scoop in later on. For now I'll just cut the hood up to make it work.

Toyota changed the plugs to a universal plug in 1998. 1997 and before there are 2 types of plugs, one for manuals and one for automatics.

killa b · 07-04-2007, 11:58 AM

oh ok didnt know that.

GA854R · 07-04-2007, 02:20 PM

Sickness man! I get back from Ohio and you're already done!

Call me when you need a hand on the Tacoma.

4 days of no sleep and you get a running truck. I'm having problems with my exhaust and slave cylinder. I can't get the slave in with the 97 crossover.

Weird man.. I'll give you a shout tomorrow when I get off and head that way to see what we can do.

Four Runner · 07-04-2007, 08:01 PM

Nicccceeee. Definitely dial in the exhaust and slave cyl. Can't wait to see it in action.

yotaman · 07-04-2007, 10:32 PM

Well I officially have a running paper weight. The stock crossover will not allow me to bolt the slave cylinder on. I don't know how guys are using the stock crossover.

I do know that Toyota changed the manifolds and crossover to a round one pipe design in 99 or 2000.

I have 2 options: buy ORS's crossover for $400 + dollars or pull the motor and cut the stock crossover up and flip it to the other side like SAS'dToy did.

yotaman · 07-06-2007, 12:03 AM

I got my stock crossover back out (what a pain - IT IS possible to get the crossover in and out with the motor in the truck). I'm going to try and make a jig so I can cut the crossover up and make it driver side drop. Wish me luck guys.

I'm trying to have this damn thing drivable so we can have a 4 door stock'ish vehicle to haul the kid around in.

yotaman · 07-08-2007, 01:23 AM

I need this damn thing drivable and dependable. So I need some time to work out bugs before my little princess decides she wants to come into the world (that could be ANY day now).

My plan on the crossover is to cut it up and rotate what I can then put a small piece of flex piping in there to allow me some *F* up room. If I took the motor out I think I could cut the crossover up and make it work without any flex tubing.

Anyone see any concerns with using flex piping?

C-mon man!!!

Flex tubing's only going to be a "temporary" solution. If you're gonna bother to do it, do it right.

..somebody cue up the inspirational title music to Star Wars, while I step up onto my soapbox for this next part...

"Da..Da..Da DaDaDa DaDaDa...Da..Da.Da.DaDaDa...Da.DaDa" Here...

YouTube Video

In another galaxy, far-far away, a guy named "4RnrRick" built a "ship" known as "Quasimodo"
(Millenium Falcon bit, get it!!) where, after a lot of work, cheated/waited and used flex pipe,
and guess what, it was "OK" for a bit, but ultimately, he has had to replace it.

Do you really wanna go through another batch of scrapes/cuts/bruises in less than a year,
when you have to replace the worn piping?

C-mon, you're better/smarter than that, take a break, let the bundle of joy arrive,
and when the 'rents come to spoil their grandchild, take the time to get things done right.

Trust me, I'm sure all here would say to do it right, if for nothing else, so you're lady will have the piece of mind knowing it's a solid rig, that once done, won't get anybody pulled over for loud exhaust, or wake the "sleeping baby" while driving.

You've done everything so far to the best you could, saving a lot of dough probably and having a good time doing it.

*Neil Armstrong didn't go all the way to the moon, to decide to go out in a pair of Chuck Taylor's, right?

*Am I right here?

Four Runner · 07-10-2007, 02:52 PM

Thread Bump....anyone heard what he's going to do??

Are you not posting cause you're oficially a Daddy now??? *If so Congrats!!

yotaman · 07-10-2007, 04:16 PM

No baby yet.

I'm going to take the truck to a muffler shop tomorrow and see what they can do for the exhaust.

I took the truck for a drive today. Straight piping it baby. SHE SOUNDS SOOOOOOO NICE!

yotaman · 07-10-2007, 06:51 PM

Just finished modifying my Tachometer.
