I recently purchased a 94 4 Runner that I would like to do the 3.4 swap. I have found a 96 3.4 with Manual trans and transfer case. Can they be made to work in my 94? What problems might I encounter? Is there anyone out there building an installation kit? I have lots of questions.

 

That is exactly right. You are paying for the knowledge and the time Mike has put in to learning all the intricate parts for these harnesses and to create a customized conversion harness for you. Or you could always try and do your own.... (Hell NO!)

 

Hey Molly,

So I am about to start my swap using one of ORS's full conversion kits (I got it right before ORS went away). If I have any problems with the swap or the harness can I email you and have you pass it on to Mike?

Thanks so much,

Brett

 

Mike still responds to emails for tech support. Just takes a week usually.

 

Good to know, I appreciate it.

 

Yeah email mike directly because he responds no faster through me See even I missed this thread bump for a week. I claim jet lag and the swine flu on that one!

 

So to email mike about interest in a harness we can just shoot him an email to sales@offroadsolutions.com?

 

bump on this question for anyone who may know Mike.

 

Yes that is correct i emailed Mike about a month ago looking into one of his harnesses, he responds pretty quick and informed me he will start to do conversion harnesses once again. I choose to do my own but he was more than willing to do one for me.

 

Hope this gets to Mike I have been studying the Yotatech and Pirate Boards looking for an answer but so far I am stumped. Overall I am really pleased with the swap, started after the third turn of the key and has started everytime since then. My only difficulty is my temp gauge. I know the one in my cluster was good and worked well with my 3.0 but I am getting no response at all from the 3.4 motor. So that leads me to believe it is either the sender or some aspect of the wiring with the ORS harness is not allowing the gauge to communicate with the sender. Before I twist off and buy a new sender is there anything else that I can trouble shoot? Here are a few details concerning the swap: 1994 m/t 4Runner with a good running 3.0 which was swapped for a 1999 m/t 3.4 from a Tacoma using the full ORS kit. Any ideas? Would a scan gauge II be able to read anything if plugged into the OBD II port?

I also welcome any other ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue. Driving around without a working temp guage makes me pretty nervous.

If someone could forward this on to Mike if they have another contact I would really appreciate it. I already tried the sales@offroadsolutions address.

Thanks for the help.

 

It should, I'm pretty sure they use different senders. I think the temp sender for the ECU is up near the outlet to the radiator.

On the dash gauge, are you sure the wiring didn't get damaged from the sender? Its one of those in the rear near the firewall (I think). If you get up to Edmond I'll hook up my OBDII connection for you. Good luck

 

Just ordered an OBD II scanner last night. Amazon was running a special so I snatched one up. Right now it is at the exhaust shop I will go by there today after work and see what kind of progress he is making and take a look for the sensor on the back. I had located the front one but I just could not find the location for the other sender.

Mt. Goat thanks for the info, I will try to give you the time when I am headed up to Auto Air, my swap will seem rather tame compared to yours.

 

FYI the tap size in the instructions was not the right size for my pre drilled 97 3.4 block

 

Is it neccessary to drill '99 and earlier? Thought it was 2000 and later? o O

 

the engine swap links are dead....................

 

check offroad solutions website. they are back as a company and sell stuff again!!

The page is 404. can anyone recommend and excellent to the point 3.4 instructions like this or does anyone have this downloaded and willing to share. THanks

 

There are many swap threads in the 3.4 swap section just search. There is sooo much good info in them.

 

Might want to Un sticky this.. It is a waste of a read.. no instructions available apparently. I know that there are a million threads, I (and may others) have read through hundreds of them. I agree some great info, but also a lot of conflicting info..

 

I need help! Trying to find headers for my 1997 t100 3.4 swap into my 1994 pick up, just tried installing the JBA headers for the '97 and it didn't fit into my '94. Kept getting hung up on the clutch slave, to tight. Anyone know a set of headers that will fit this application? Thanks!
