3RZ Swapped 1st Gen Toyota 4Runner Walkaround | NEW PROJECT!

  • This is a 1987 Toyota 4Runner with a 3RZ swap from a 2000 4Runner! The 3RZ-FE swap replaces the factory 22RE and gives us a healthy boost of 50 horsepower and takes us from 2.4L to 2.7L! It still uses the W56 transmission but is mated to the 3RZ's W59 bellhousing. It also retains the RF1A transfer case. Besides aftermarket motor mounts and custom wiring, this is basically a drop in swap. Sweet!
    The interior is really clean and has the highly desired altimeter/inclinometer! I can't wait to start building this truck, and I can't wait to show you guys what I have planned for it.

    Nice! I have an 86 turbo with a regular non turbo 22r swap and a 5speed transmission. I've had it since 2010 it was a fresh resto and tons of fun to drive. Although slow it did 80 eventually. Staying tuned to your channel for inspiration.

    Nice find ‼️I own a 86 xtra cab which I did a solid axle swamp and three link the front with some king coil overs is the 3rz swamp better than a 5vz??

      Thanks! I own an 88 xtra cab that's solid axle swapped too 😀
      I think that the 3RZ is easier for a 22RE truck. It's a good upgrade compared to the 22RE but I wouldn't say it's better or worse than a 5VZ. The 5VZ makes 40-50 more HP that a 3RZ. Both motors (Actually all 3) are very good!

    Did they not change the oil sender on the engine that reads and activates just the dummy light (Like it was in the 2000 4runner) to a gauge cluster that shows actual oil pressure (like the sr5 that's in your 4runner)
    If they didn't it fried the oil pressure readout on your gauge...
    Also is that a V6 4runner or Tacoma airbox, that someone modified to accept the air flow meter that the 3rz uses?
    Thanks

    • @RM_Garage
      @RM_Garage  2 года назад +1

      The oil sender is currently just temporarily wired into the 4wd light. Need to get a 22RE sender and wire it in.
      I'll have to check on the airbox. This thing runs now, got the transmission completely rebuilt and made a series on that! Should hit the road soon.

    • @RM_Garage
      @RM_Garage  2 года назад

      My advice would be to do your research on the swap and see if anyone else has done it and start making a checklist of what you need. That's a super expensive swap and going to be very involved to make it pass CA smog. I would personally go to a 3.4 5vze. Much easier.

    So it’s a 2000 4runner 3RZ? What oil pan is it running? And are you still IFS? I am really interested in doing this swap but not much is available for ifs 4Runners/pickups.

    • @RM_Garage
      @RM_Garage  2 года назад

      It’s a 2000 or 2001 3RZ, coil on plug generation of the engine. The oil pan for IFS needs to be changed to a rear sump and can be bought from Toy Only Swaps.
      This truck does have IFS but it will be SASd anyway so the front diff was removed to fit the motor.
