BREAKING NEWS...... so uhhh ..... i just bught a wrecked 97 4runner and uhhhh ITS 3.4 SWAP TIME! whooooo hooooooo!!!!! good idea or bad?

 

COOL, just lemme take all ur RTE parts off ur hands since you wont be needing em 300 bucks

 

I just might do that. You want the block Ecu harness head tturbo ect?

 

Got the runner pulled apart can't wait to start the swap.

 

i wish i had the money to do this.

 

i dont think ive spent over 1000 total. im only into my elocker and v6 housing 80 bucks 100 hy steer 400 for truck 650 for the runner but im gonna part it out and make my money back and still have the 3.4. spent 200 on the 85 parts truck but made my money back on parts and im into my tires 10 bucks

o and welcome to the yotatech!!!

 

Thanks.
i barely got my yota. its an 88 toyota pickup. got it from my uncle for free with 330.560 miles on it and front passenger side a little smashed. still runs like a champ. but the original clutch has finally gave up. haha.

 

were r u located?
3.0 or 22r-amazing?

 

im in California. that ˟˟˟˟y state haha. 22re.

 

sweet

 

Are you worried about the 3.4 having too much HP for the tranny?

 

22ret's use a R151, the v6's use and r150, turbo supra's use an r154.. only differances is gear ratio's mostly.. g/w tranies can take 400hp and be okay, r series are the bigger older fater red headed sister of the w/g series trans.. they use a w/g behind the 3.4 anyway.. he will be fine.

 

im using the auto out of the 3.4 doner.

 

Please don't. 5 speed FTW!

 

Agreed..The 5 speed is going to be alot better, and its going to be more fun to drive around..

 

doesn't the 3.0 bell mate to the 3.4?

 

Sweet build, 99!

Can't wait to see the next portion of the project.... have fun!

 

auto is nice if you have the power to get moving.. i think an auto in my runner would have been nice, but cost and the fact i already had a r series 5spd lead me that route.
i think auto makes for a better crawler imo, more maintenance for the auto and more weight, but with a couple mods, like a shift kit and a HD converter you can have a really solid auto trans. plus the a340 can be full manual if you want..

 

i want the auto for wheeling. i like my 99s auto and it weighs 6000 pounds.

hey birdduck is there any way you coulld help me with the wiring? my friend is letting me use his shop for a week so i gotta get it done. im gonna clean the bay and hopefully get motor mounts made tomorrow (today, its 130), and yeah the 3.0 bell bolts to the 3.4. another question for you all is, is there ANY way to run dual exhaust on a 3.4? like from manifolds back? i just cant think of a way cause of o2 sensors?

 

You can get 02 sensor simulators. I got mine from a local auto parts store. I know that URD sells them online aswell.
