NICE!!! and so it begins

 

okay i trying to find the parts that i need to finish this swap..

Now i was thinking about using my 3.0 flywheel/starter/clutch...
Would that work, or should i buy the 3.4 flywheel/clutch.. Then would the 3.0 starter work with that combo?

Also does anybody know which M/T ecu i need that would have the same plug connections as the auto ecu with part number.

89661-04460

heres the pic of the ecu, idk if it helps




Thanks in advance..

Bump>..

 

Bump^^^

Lets see some progress pics

 

Hey does anyone have the template ORS used to sell for the 3.4 swap oil pan dipstick hole..

Apparently i have to drill the hole for the sucker..

 

Okay i guess im not going to buy the template.

Do you guys know what size drill bit it needs for the hole? i believe ors said 3/8" bit.

Also does anyone have the part number for the adapter for the dipstick tube adapter?

like in this pic???

 

hey man i dont have any info that will help you on your swap but i just want to say great job taking on such a big task. once your done you can come pick up my runner and check out my rear chevy spring swap and put a 3.4l in it while you have it. OK? lol. nice job.

 

Lol, if you want me to do that, i get to keep those toyos!

This is a big project, hopefully i can get some progress to it soon..
im going to have to order parts and thats what is keeping me from doing anything...

 

Holy hell...Looks good dood...cant wait to see it running !!!

 

yea me too................

 

I know a friend who sas'd his runner just like urs and the frame bent on him bc the frame was made for ifs and isn't strong enough. I dont know if you reinforced urs yet. But I highly recommend it.

Also after everything, how much did you spend for the sas? Including renting the welder and stuff. And how much time do you estimate you put into it??

 

Hey man, just now got caught up on your build.
Great work, seriously - I wish I had the money, the time and the patience to do all that.

I really want to get a trail rig one of these days, until then, I'll just have to keep my Tacoma looking purty.

No i haven't reinforced it yet.. Maybe soon...
As for how much i spent on the sas.. it will vary depend on teh deals everyone gets.

I went with the 4" Tg sas kit which was $1000.. Then i had to purchase my axle, rebuild kits, and diff/locker/gears. Then i had to rent the welder for a week. Which was like $180..

I spent over $2,000 on it. And i still am not done with the rig..

(i just bought my own welder, and if you are going to sas yours i would just go ahead and buy one).. Renting one was the price of a 1/4-1/3 the cost of a welder anyways. It took a while for me to prep the axle, but once the axle was completely ready to go.. i got the ifs cut off and the sas under it in probably 2-3 days.. Now that was working with a sawzall and angle grinder, if you have a torch it would be quicker..

Good luck!

Thank you.. I also wish i had the money and patience! lol.

Both of them go very quickly!

 

Mike, /me being curious wants to know how many miles are one the engine...?

 

had around 130,000 miles on it.

 

Not bad...Timing belt done..?

i used this as a basic parts list. Now would also be a good time for a new timing belt set, waterpump, cam crank seals, rear main seal, and tune up parts.

 

I was told the Timing belt/waterpump were replaced at 90k.. so im going to pull the cover off and see what the belt looks like and go from there.

 

Mike, good to see that you are making progress on it. Hopefully it will be done soon. Like Vital said it would be a good time to get all of the PITA seals and done now, while the engine in out. I know that it will cost some extra cash, but it will be worth it in the long run.
