I own a '95 4Runner whose engine I'm sad to say is shot. My goal is to get a rebuilt motor that I can supercharge to get excess power for colorado altitudes. My understanding is that in the V6 4runners you can only supercharge the motor if you have a '96 or above. Is that true? If so, can you put a 96 motor in a 95?

 

Search for "3.4 swap" or "5VZ-FE swap" Its one of the most popular swaps for any toyota.

 

Seek, and ye shall find my brother...
Short answer, yep.
There's a whole lot of info here for doing just that.
Try searching the forums....

Good luck and welcome aboard...

Yes, I have 2 of them. I'm in colorado also if you want to come and look. Look-up ORS also.

If your goal is to supercharge the 96 isn't the best year to use but it can be done for sure. After around 97 the 5VZFE ECU is better at compensating for the extra air of the blower. 2001+ is even better because they replaced the front O2 sensor with an A/F ratio sensor.
