So Im probably excited over something stupid, but I did my brakes today and they have 4 piston calipers. Its a 95 4Runner SR5 and I thought that was cool, are all 4Runners 4 pot? My RX7 buddies tell me to convert my single piston calipers to 4 cause its a 'HUGE' upgrade.

rofl. 4 is better than 1, yes. lol.

really, lol. you seem so excited, haha. ..sry..

I think in the older ones only the 6cyl and the higher$$$ sr5 packs had them in the 1st gens.

I know 4s better then 1 just saying its cool that I got 4 piston calipers, made my day.

Nope. All 4wd Toyota trucks since '79 have had 4-piston calipers up front. Over the years, the size of the pistons has increased but there has always been four of them.

my 3 4Runners have a total of 24 Pistons. WOW!!! Add on my 4 wheel disc camry.....28 TOTAL PISTONS!!! HOLY FRIHOLES`!!!

Thats a lot of piston pumping action.

Is it possible to swap calipers from a 2WD for 4Wd ones?

CyMoN

hmm my buddys turbo has only one piston per caliper. IDK maybe the P/O changed it out

is you r buddys turbo a 2 Wheel drive??

also

No, its not possible to swap a one piston for a 4 piston.

it IS possible to swap calipers from a 2wheel drive 4Runner to a 4Wheel drive 4runner....since they are the same caliper.

Besides, why in the world would you change from 4 Pistons to 1 piston calipers?

CyMoN

ya their turbo is 4wd theP/O had said a bunch of stuff about using a lot of land crusier parts on the 4runner IDK the guy did do a ton of work to the truck and it seems like he did it right as for the brakes I have no clue why they are single piston.

...land cruisers use 4 piston brakes too sooo ????

Bejiita

Lol, toyota might have better trucks then mazda, but the RX7 will always beat the supra in everything, Id much rather drive my RX7 then my 4Runner

RX7 will beat the Supra?? ARE YOU HIGH?

I bet the Supra kills the RX7 in resale value. w00t! Just TRY and find a 95 Supra for a decent price. And compare that to the price of an RX7.

Never mind the engine upgrades available.

CJM

An rx7 and its wonderful rotary engine is the downfall and curse to them. Never did I see one that didnt need to be rebuilt or burn oil.

Not 4 pistons to 1 piston. I meant from 1 piston to 4 pistons...

lol no, cymon said his friend changed from four piston to one, so i was wondering why anyone would do that.
