Tooo much Powa!!!

Well I got this little truck a few months ago, it was a trade in at my father inlaws Mercedes dealership. A old man was the original owner of it.



The truck has full power, ac, tilt, p/s and a perfect bench seat!! HAHAHA!!
The little 22re had a little timing chain guide noise and the clutch has seen better days so instead of pulling the engine to fix all of that stuff I decided to stick this in there......



The fan set up is a Spal Black Magic, it cost $190 an has all the thermostat controls and relays in the kit. it fits the radiator PERFECTLY!!!!




I might go the Prerunner route just to take full advantage of the nice power curve.

You must burn the rear tires off it all the time.

Yea its RIDICULOUS to drive,

1st, 2nd, 3rd gear is just smoke,

I have the 325cc injectors and a 255 walbro pump which made a big difference in power too, its scary how lean that set up runs with the stock injectors..

I kill my Dad's Ranger with a swaped 5.0l hehehe

Just soon as I can get a decent rear end in it, I keep shearing the pinion right off of it,

I am going to order a Eaton LSD and stick that in a V6 diff with a 4.10 gear

I have a set of 26" M/T stickies I am going to run on it.

nice work rancho...do you have some numbers in terms of $$$ on what it cost you to do for that swap? I'm toying with the idea of something similar for a pre-runner.

You can find a MT 3.4l swap for about 2,000

Stick with the 99-00 engines they are the best for supercharged duty.
2001 and up have hard to adapt smog junk, 2002 they went to a semi fly by wire throttle control.

So here is a bit of a price break down.
Clean 91' truck with PS and AC $3000 (Old Man)
Engine Complete $2,000 (From my shop)
Supercharger $1000-$1400 (used on ebay)
2wd 3.4l v6 5 speed trans (r150) $450 (also from my shop)
ORS engine harness $700 (ORS VERY NICE harness installs in less than an hour and it plugs right in and everything works!!)
2.5" down pipes, (2) Magnaflow 3" stainless mufflers ALL stainless exhaust $850 (built myself)
V6 Tach cluster with Tach mod $75 (also from my shop)
Drive shaft work $125 (AAA Driveshaft in Rancho)
New V6 Radiator $150 (1-800-radiator)
Spal Black Magic fan $289 (jegs)
Walbro 255 intank pump $100 (ebay)
V6 fuel filter $14 (world pac)
Aussie locker $300 (ebay)
K&N FIPK for a Tacoma $175 (ebay)
T100 Oil pan and pick up $165 (Maita Toyota)
Water pump, timing belt, filters, fluids, tune up parts, new hoses and belts ($275)


Just about 10k ($9,668) is what is cost to build THIS truck and thats if you do it all yourself.

Take off the cost of the truck and is $6,668

You can do your own wiring if you have the time and the skill to save the $700
