Another pic from this last weekend

 

Pulled out the 3.0 this weekend. One step closer to having the 3.4L swap done

 

Long travel AND a 3.4?! So sexy!

 

All part of my master (evil) plan

Still cheaper than my Tacoma was

 

This is a near perfect model for my next build.

Going from a taco to a long travel 3.4 swaped 2nd gen runner.

Sweet build man, i would have retained the factory rear coil setup for ride quality but i really cant argue with your resluts.

good job

What tire size are you running?

 

Yeah, on one hand, I hated to ditch the link setup. There's no way to argue that that leafs flex better. Link would almost always have better flex.

When you lift it tall though, the ride sucks ass. It rides really good with the leafs and flexes good enough for what I'm going to use it for. Also, putting the T-100 axle in would have been a huge PITA if I would have retained the link setup

 

thats interesting that leafs would ride better.

I always assumed that even with the geometry being a little off that coils would ride better then leafs because leaf springs have to continually break the statci coefitiant of friction.

 

Finally installed the 4"drop bracket lift. Now I'm ready to drop in the 3.4L

 

put the new marlin clutch and modified crossover pipe onto my 3.4L v6. Ready to drop it into the engine bay

 

Hey drew you planning on running bigger tires with that bracket lift?

 

Oh my gawd!

If you wake up and your 4Runner is not in your driveway, it may or may not be in Alaska

I love your truck, man.

 

Naw, I really like these tires, and they are a tall 33 (255/85/16)

Thanks man. I've got the 3.4L in the engine bay, but it still doesn't run, so you're gonna need a flatbed or car hauler, lol

 

Ah, nice... I already have a bracket lift on mine and have the blazeland sitting in the garage waiting to go on. Just gotta get new bj's and what not...
have you ordered a megasquirt yet? When I did my 3.4 swap I just reused the factory ecu but I'd like to convert to a stand alone when I get a chance to boost it like you want to do!

 

Haven't bought the megasquirt yet. For the sake of time and money, I'm gonna try the Factory ECU I have sitting in my garage first. Will definitely go Megasquirt if it doesn't work or when I do FI

 

Engine is in. Still have to wire up the ecu though. Here's a video of using the starter to shoot all the fluid out of the cylinders after long term storage

Sick, man. Lovin' the Runner.

 

MegaSquirt came in today. Gonna mess around with wiring it up this weekend

 

Any update on the megasquirt stuff?
oh yeah I finally threw a quick build together for my truck. see what ya think!

I'm about halfway done with assembling the ECU

 

What springs are you running for the rear and is the t100 the same axle as a Tacoma?
