hey guys im new to the toyota world! but im falling fast! i have a 92 4runner and i was wondering if these little v6's will handle any boost and stay together?? what do you guys think?

 

the 3.0's can bearly hold together on their own. I would say, don't do it,

but with enough fab work you can turbo anything. Not sure if there is any low compression pistons for the 3.0 though.

What are the weak pionts of the engine? I know they have headgaskets issues..

 

mainly head gasket issues due to the exhaust crossover pipe. add a turbo your talking even higher exhaust temps.

 

Well if he turbos it, he'll be getting headers for certain.
And most likely they'll be custom

 

Hmm? So what's the problem with the crossover pipe? How is it causing gasket issues? Too much EGT's?

 

Crossover is really tight to the head back in that corner.

Supposedly, the "V" in 3VZ-E means it was built for forced induction ... I DO know the bottom end on these motors is pretty stout.

Big problem is where do you put the turbo.... No room in the engine bay, and it gets hot enough in there already ...

 

supercharged 3.4 would be way easier

 

How did you find that out? What does the Z stand for?

 

Could do like the cummins and have it right off the manifold/header and then to a intercooler?
that would certainly cool the engine down wouldnt it?

 

To my knowledge, there is no relation between the V block and the VZ block ... by your logic, the 3RZ in the Tacoma would be a 6 cylinder (or 2 cylinder) version of the 22R ... which it's not ...

Note that all numbers aren't used in production (at least in truck applications). For example, there is a 20R and 22R, but no 21. The 1VZ and 2VZ never saw production.

 

Well thanks guys! I got my heads back from the machine shop and he said don't mess with a turbo as well. Guess I'll just leave it alone I LOve turbos so I can't help myself! I'm also building a explorer with a twin turbo mustang engine
