470xxx on my rig
3.0L
1988 v6 extra cab, aluminum box, cab from california off a same year 22re. Engine was rebuilt 60,000km's ago

 

240,000ish miles (its like 380000 km) just rolled it over this morning. all original. only thing thats been changed is a fender headlight and the oil =D shes rusty she shakes, makes more noises than i want to think about but she starts every morning

 

hey im thinking about buying a 1992 toyota 4x4 sr5, however it has 391000km on it just wondering if anyone thought the truck was pretty much done? it has a new clutch, slave cylinder and some other new parts

 

517,xxx on the original 22re never been rebuilt. 1986 4runner DLX YA TRY AND TOP THAT!!!!
I bought this truck with about 415k on it because it was in such good shape. All the trim was still there and in good shape. The top had NEVER been taken off this thing. The bolts were still shiny and new. So I can't take credit for all these miles, the first owner drove it about 150 miles a day all highway miles and the reason I think it's still in such good shape. I wish Toyota would reissue this rig part for part I would buy it in a heartbeat.

 

How high do the odometers go? I'm lookin at picking up an 86 runner with only 90k on it. Seems pretty amazing but in too good of shape to be over 500k.

 

999,999.9

Mine has 492,8xx- I bought it with 488,9xx.

I'm sure it's been rebuilt, but this is what it's looking like now after some love

 

That's a nice looking 4Runner! What's with the gauge by the intake?

 

Thanks x4x

That's a fuel pressure gauge that attaches at the banjo bolt for the cold start injector. LCE sells em as a bolt on kit

It's actually pretty handy besides just looking neat!

Glad you like my runner

 

And what's it do exactly? Sory for sounding dumb

 

Hah no worries. It shows you the fuel pressure at the fuel rail (after fuel pressure regulator) in psi. It's the pressure the injectors are seeing. I was trying to diagnose what I thought was a fuel issue- turns out it wasn't, but the thing looks cool so I decided to leave it on!

 

Lol yah it does. Looks like a nos gauge. That's asuper clean lookin motor tho.

 

Jennygirl, did you get rid of a lot of your smog stuff? I see a lot of ports plugged?

 

Thanks and yes I got rid of more than the smog stuff

- EGR delete
- EGR heater tube delete
- charcoal canister delete
- A/C idle up VSV delete
- P/S idle up delete
- idle up adjust valve (P/S and A/C vac lines go there) delete
- Fuel pressure up VSV delete
- early to late intake conversion (aux air valve delete)
- ignition wiring tuck (routed back along firewall)

 

You're in ca right? How do you pass emissions? I'm not tying bust balls but I live in Kansas and they don't require inspections. I wanna do just what you did but don't know where to start. Did you gain any performance from it?

 

I know a guy who is a guy

The car was sold to me with non smog headers (and had just been passed), so I knew it wouldn't pass visual from the get go. I'm not worried about it I guess. As long as I'm not throwing huge HCs I don't really see a point in worrying!

I might have a tad more throttle response from the newer intake, and cold idle up works like a dream.. But that is hardly what I would call "performance".

Mostly I just wanted to clean things up and make things easier to access. I love having that valve cover clean and clear from stuff going over it! Takes about 30sec to get the valve cover off, and no vac lines to remember at all (even though I know them like the back of my hand now!).

I would start by getting some vac line caps. I found a pack at auto zone for like 5 or six bucks.. They came in assorted sizes. Other than that there is really nothing to it. Oh for EGR you have to make block off plates.. Or you can buy them from a place like LCE. I went the DIY route and used some scrap 1/4" steel.

The fuel pressure up vac line you can hook directly to plenum vacuum.. The triple adapter near the back is a great place to do that

Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm happy to assist in helping to make your 22re look a bit cleaner!

 

Haha yah the last time I did any egr delete stuff it was on a carbureted 22r. There's a lot more stuff on the re. I'd prob end up unplugging the wrong thing and never get it figured back out. What year is your runner? What year did you up grade to on the intake?

 

Lol, that's exactly how I felt going into it! But it quickly made sense, so much information out there on forums. I forget if the thread is here or at pirate4x4, but you can pretty much google search any of those items + "delete" and the directions come up. Maybe I should put a thread together

My runner is an 87, non california (only one O2 sensor and fuel pressure up thermo switch on top of the thermo housing). The intake parts I sourced from two separate junkyards.. I think the upper manifold is from a 94 and the TB from a 92. But literally anything from 89-94 will be the same and compatible with each other. Take a peek at my signature and you can see my thread on the intake swap

Oh and if you're worried about unplugging something wrong, just take pics before you do anything. That way you can always go back if something's not right. I did notice my engine idle and everything became much more reliable/predictable with all the junk removed. I know what it's going to do, before and as it does it! Pretty much all of those VSV's have very little effect on the way the engine runs, in my opinion they just add more possible points of failure which might cause it to run weird. I am considering adding the AC idle up back though, that is kinda nice to have. My VSV was shot for it, and I just haven't found a replacement for it. When I do add it back, I'll be mounting it to the firewall instead of on top of the valve cover. Really bad place to put a VSV imo- gets way too hot there! Probably why it failed in the first place

 

Did it throw any check engine codes?

 

Nope I am CEL free

 

I assume the TB is bigger on the later models but what's different about the intakes?
