Im goin to be honest im not a tech goo roo at all this power building and i know that there are people on this website just looking for easy to understand and straight forward answer or opinion...

i am fixing to put another 3.0 in my 92 4x4 all i want to know is what are some good performance parts that i could install...such as cams,cranks,air intake,headers anything like that...

Thank yall for everything

 

its really easy, while you replace the 3.0, you add another .4 litres.... LOL

 

crower cam regrinds
doug thorley headers
cold air intake
fuel chiller (cold can)
port/polish heads
nitrous...

the 3.slows are called 3.slows for a reason, my sincere advice is swap in another motor. there is the toyota 3.4, chevy 4.3, lexus 4.0, chevy 5.7... lots of motors fit in a toyota with some modification.

 

take a look at my motor

There are those who will tell you that you can't get power out of a 3.0.

You can, but the amount of work and $ involved won't net you much in the way of meaningful gains.

If you can do the work yourself or with help from a friend or two, and if you don't mind tackling some wiring, then the 3.4 swap is a better bet.

 

there right 3.slow

 

ive hought about doin the 3.4 swap but im not the greatest at wiring in fact im horrible at it, if i had sometyhing to help me then y ai would def switch to a 3.4

tracey, man ive looked all over for a cold air intake for one and i cant find one. i have no idea what fuel chiller is. and ive got a question for ya if i got cam regrinds to 264's or 272's would i have to get new heads or get head work done?

and once again thank yall for all the advice keep it comin

 

well let me rephrase that, *short ram intake by spectre, or... K&N makes a cold air for 4runners but its expensive. fuel chillers or 'cold cans' are devices where the fuel runs through a cooling element (like a mini freon system) and chills the fuel to drop mixture temps and get you some more power and fuel efficiency, they are hard to find. cams... i have the 264's and they are good but i think i should have gone to 272's. and having the head work done is usually cheaper than new heads. mine were about $400. with new valve shims it came out to $500.

 

Sweet! aight and what about the cams?

 

does anybody got anything on the wiring for the 3.4 swap?

 

cams are $200 from crower in san diego.

 

am i goin to have to buy new heads for me to run those cams?

 

nope, just have the machinist throw them in to check the shim clearances. crower cut my base circles too small so i had to get all new shims from toyota.

 

SWEET!!! lol savin money and gaining power gotta love it
