does anyone have any ideas for cheap power. I have a 97 2.7 four banger with about 80,000 miles on it. Toyata mini header is in the mail and a bigger intake is already in the works. Looking for the maybe the name of a good chip or somthing to that affect. Just want some minor mods for a few more ponies and maybe a little better milage.

 

chips don't work for us, waste of money.

 

What doesn't work about them. If its the oxygen sensors I have enough eletrical whatnots and knowhow to make them read whatever I want. just want details cause I NEED more power and don't really have time to wrench. Any other ideas for power

 

I thought about the coolant temp mod but i think that would be drinkin down some fuel

 

Why do you need more power, what gears are you running and what tires?

Regear it man

 

No such thing as cheap power dude..

Your driving the wrong truck if you want that...

I think my 2.7 is tits, its got enough power for my hearts content. AND ITS STOCK

 

Ditto, except for the stock part. It may be a dog sometimes on the highways.

But who can complain when i weigh so much and get 20mpg easy, heck 25mpg the other day

 

Only thing I dont like about my dads 4Runner w/ 2.7 is it feels reaaallly heavy, My single cab though, thats a whole nother story...

 

gear it up and see how it goes

 

wait, Which truck?

 

its got some good power but my problem lies in my new job. Im a full time student and dont have the money for a bigger truck which would be the real solution. I'm runnin 31x10.50 american prospector A/Ts and stock gears. I'm working for a contracting company and my job puts me in muddy work sites, up country hills and ect. The tires are a must. And lately I've had to hook to a trailer or two and the truck will pull it but its a complete dog when the load gets heavy. It will do anything I throw at it but I'm sick of using 4 wheel low with my hubs unlocked to start on a hill. I guess its just me complaing. I'm still open for ideas just trying to keep a budget.

 

I don't think you'll ever get the towing power you're looking for in the 2.7
