I have not seen anything remotely similar to this on RUclips, so I figured I'd go ahead and make this video. Toyota MAF Template: syrus54.deviantart.com/art/Toy...
So much for your head gasket theory. I have a 1990 3.0 L 3vze Toy pickup that I purchased brand new in 1990. It blew the head gasket within 2 years. No mechanic had ever touched it prior. It was replaced under warranty and has been fine ever since. It is now 2020 and 155,000 miles later with no problems.
Damn you all are going really hard on this guy. Turbo the world!! Yeah so I just recently bought my fourth Toyota 3vze. This one I bought from a lady that had bought it brand new in 1990, with all records. It was like $13,000 brand new haha. Anyway she had the head gasket redone at 155k. It now currently has 299k on the original 3vze. Sat for 2 years, I did a tune up, straight pipe exhaust. This thing runs really strong! I do need to adjust the valves. I love it. Everyone talks down on the 3.slow, but for some reason I love the motor. I want to build a bulletproof 3vze just to see what I can get out of it. A turbo would be awesome, but I know that Toyota in 95 started putting a supercharger on the 3.4L. I am curious as to if I could find a supercharger for the 3.0.
the brake booster vacuum line doesn't need to be moved, it has a one way check valve to prevent vacuum from escaping or letting atmospheric pressure from going in.
drilling a bigger hole on the turbo oil fitting will result in a loss of engine oil pressure to the engine since it will flow into the area of least resistance which is the turbo. that is why the engine seized up.

Ever find one? I'm thinking Paxton . With a A/C clutch and a either switched or automatic supercharger bypass . Have a real Mad Max style Blower Switch on the gearshift . Also ad a Vac pump and res tank . Super Glue the vac hoses !
I like how he kept the turbo specs top secret. Gotta keep those serious no prep drag racing secrets quiet. God Speed box in the same frame, love this guy 😆 🤣 😂
There is a port for an optional oil cooler that looks like a hockey puck on the passenger side. Also you can get an adapter to run lines off the oil filter.
What kind of power did you get? Cool build!! Also yeah, I think just paying attention to temp and maintaining properly. You won't blow a head gasket if you don't let the temp go nuts as well as throwing cold water in when its hot. And then there is the removal of the thermostat when having a radiator coolant issue. That covers every engine.
Fuel pump through a toggle switch is a bit hazardous in the case of an accident since it'll cheerfully keep pumping fuel onto the fire after the engine quits. But if you get a "battery isolator" like is used for letting your truck charge your camper battery without letting the camper run down your truck battery the camper side will run the fuel pump quite nicely whenever the engine is running and then you just use the toggle switch to prime the system for starting.
Toyota actually admitted the 3VZE had a head gasket issue, that's why they issued a mass recall for the engine and replaced the head gaskets for free. Do all of them have issues ? Nope. But enough of them did to prompt the recall. The Issue ? Dissimilar metals on the block and the head caused shearing on the inferior gasket material. The fix ? modern MLS head gaskets are a drop in 100% solution
I just bought my first 4runner (1994) on July 13 2018 and have been a bit concerned about the head gasket issue. I've been reading up for hours and this explanation is the best I've heard so far. Thanks !
The reason that the inlet hole is soo small is to lower the pressure coming from the engine. If the oil pressure going into the turbo is too high the oil will leak into the turbine and compressor sides of the turbo.
I have one that has been under water three times, no problems with anything yet, the bad head gaskets came on the ones assembled in america so that explains that. ..( I should explain that my truck is a standard cab standard bed truck. they were built in japan as they did not sell well enough to have a line going in the u.s.) this intrests me because I happen to know that there is at least a half inch of cylinder showing at tdc. these engines have about 7.5:1 maybe 8:1 compression thats why they are called the 3 point slow. I should have spent the extra 1700 bucks and had the dealership bolt on a supercharger when I bought it ( it was an option in 1992) but like a dick , I didnt do that.
My Daily Driver is a 90’ Sandalwood Metallic 4Runner SR5 2WD (89’ 4WD Style Frame/Suspension/Brakes/Drivetrain Minus Transfer Case & Front Diff If You Know You Know) Original 3VZ My odometer quit working @346K miles almost 2 years ago. Starts & Runs like new🤔🤫
Yep if you don't miss with the head gasket than it's never a problem. My 97 T100 SR5 4x4 3.4l 5VZFE never been replace be4 since it was first released. Got it at 35,xxx miles and now it's 27x,xxx miles from the day I bought it. It's almost 20years and still no issued at all
Bro can you help with the dimmer switch on these I have a Two wire gauge I just put the positive to the green wire on the dimmer and then the ground for gauge to the middle grey black wire
According to the dealer, 3vze made before Jan 1990 had the right gasket material and they were not recalled and they won't blow neither. I have one has 275k.
ive read this a few times but could not find where this could be confirmed. i have a 1990 v6 with 266k miles got it with 264k and i was told the head gasket was changed once before i got it .. engine runs like a clock, but it does feel old lol
For the oil feed line you should put a T fitting where the oil pressure sender attaches to your block and then your return line goes down into your oil pan near the top... And of course "logically", on your turbo you want the feed inlet at the top and then the return will be exiting on the bottom.
The reason the headgaskets blow is because of the exhaust cross over pipe getting hot on the driver side right behind the head, notorious spot for exhaust leaks, where they come together.
"it dosen't matter how this all looks its under my hood nobody will see this" as u film it and post video to RUclips... dude c'mon an oil cooler is a cooler because it dissipates heat, the turbo is powered by exhaust gas and thus builds heat, oil circulates and gathers heat while lubricating moving parts. i appreciate your ambition but for the mechanical hackary you perform you could spend alot less money on parts. so keep up the good work, rubber side down
I have always wondered what these engines would be like with a turbo. I too have a t100 with the 3vzfe(with 200k+ miles) and it runs perfect! Not a head gasket issue in sight. It seems the people who have problems with them don't maintain them properly. which is not that hard.. Its a Toyota engine after all.
Lots of recommendations if you ever DO decide to. Like #1: Dont. or #2, if you do, Rebuild the engine 1st, with Lots of New and Freshly cleaned high quality parts.
youre not serious? you do know why the head gasketrs fail right? the exhaust that gets routed around the back heats up the gaskets and causes them to fail. so if you have low mileage, or just run it at low temps, or even just have a heat shield on your exhaust crossover, youll never see an issue
The exhaust goes behind the motor close to the intake manifold, and it gets hot. That is why they blow head gaskets. It puts extra heat on the 2 rear cylinder's and coupled with wimpy h.p people push them harder to keep up with traffic.
Havent fully watched the whole video but looks interesting! I just bought a 93 4runner sr5 with a blown headgasket and I'm just sure what I want to do with it yet
shadowstewie Thinking about sanding them down with a long straight block with some sandpaper. Frame doesn't look too good though so I'm not sure about the plans
if you replace piston rings, or screwup the timing while replacing the water pump, or attempt to do a valve job.... whatever it may be that leads to it happening, the fact is, that an Inexperienced mechanic can Easily cause a headgasket to malfunction, wear improperly, or be improperly installed/torqued down.
My 1993 T100 with the 3vz-e (3.0 litre) blew a head gasket on the previous owner at 359,000 miles in 2013. That’s pretty understandable; however, it blew another head gasket at 406,000 miles in 2018, forcing him to sell it. I think you are correct about incompetent people screwing with these head gaskets and replacing them with low quality parts. If you don’t mess with these engine, don’t tow 8,000 lbs regularly and do regular maintenance, they will last forever
yeah when replacing the hg, you cant just replace the hg. and it isnt that he did it wrong, although he probably did, if you have the stock exhaust, the crossover pipe will heat up the gaskets, and the pressure will force them out. this is even more likely with a low quality gasket material
The pin hole is to reduce the pressure coming from your oil pump so it doesn't push oil into the compressor ultimately pumping oil into your intake. ...
One is your oil inlet on your turbo, the other is the oil drain you run to your oil pan, no pressure. If you run both from your engine your going to have a lot of smoke lol
Well, I have the 95 V6 with 260K on it. Runs great, oil pressure a tiny bit low on warm up, and power not the best. Jeep HO V8 beats it easy. Would like a bit more power, but not going to bother to do anything unless it dies.
just so everyone understands, he didnt just fry a piston ring. he blew a head gasket. not to mention the numerous other things he managed to fuck up while making this "educational" video
It’s true I currently drive a 1993 3.0 4x4 with 198k miles and no head gasket problems I believe bad head gasket comes from poor maintenance in my opinion
That hole is a engineered restriction on purpose!!! Drilling it out will guarantee that the turbo will burn oil because of over pressure!!! That oil is mainly for lube and secondary slight cooling!
A MAF sensor is not designed to be mounted in a charge pipe.... It will only measure air flow and not calculate for the boost pressure, and should be mounted before the turbo. Happy tuning lol
Some 3.0s go for ever some not as long as forever... But as hard as 3.4 swaps are to come by recently without paying up the ass 3.0 done right might be a option. A big ass turbo I hadnt thought of that..
I’m a 3vze lover. Mine hasn’t let me down. Yes I had a bad head but other than that it’s reliable as fuck. We all know about the 3.Slow so why bash the dude for wanting to just try. Not many turbo this engine and it’s nice to see someone say fuck it and try. I’m hoping to build mine one day to get it from 3.Slow to a 3.Go.
Head gaskets fail due to the temp created by the cross over pipe, you notice most head gaskets from 3.0s are blown there. Toyota had to make the thickness of the head thinner where the pipe snakes behind it. Basically get rid of the crossover pipe and its a little less shitty engine
Jerry Hoke that’s because this “mechanic” is 100 percent wrong.... turbos do need a pressurized oil feed and gravity return back to the engine. Everything he did was wrong especially not doing anything to tune the engine.
Well I just blew my head gasket in a 91 3VZE 4R, When I took it to the shop.. It had been there before. I thought that was great except it had had the gaskets changed ‘UP’ before. So, this is the second time. Right side too.
Had to pause at 1:40 to say that I have a 1994 4runner 3.0 v6 with 170,000 miles on it. guess what? no head gasket issue so far. In fact, where I live there's a lot of 4runners and to be honest I've never actually heard of or seen a blown head gasket out of all of them....
And not to mention I am very very rough on my 4runner. Almost melted everything due to a completely clogged catalytic converter and still no head gasket problem. 3 clutches in 7 years, and no I'm not an idiot.... I'm just that much of an asshole to it. I do take good care of it maintenance wise though. Constantly get compliments about it from people wherever I go
Put a turbo on it and all worried bout tall the vacuum lines and you still left the EGR/pair which is basically 90% of those lines! There is a vacuum on the driver fender under the brake booster which goes all the way over to the 4 wheel drive wonder if that would have helped thing! But no matter what I don’t know why you would drill out a supplied part to a turbo kit? Your crazy dude but it is rad! But really just get a 3.4 it already takes super chargers and turbos!
Most brave undertaking ever attempted. Very informative, now I know I don't need a turbo. Thank you
Very impressed by both your patience and creativity. Also, love your chain link door check.

It now currently has 299k on the original 3vze. Sat for 2 years, I did a tune up, straight pipe exhaust. This thing runs really strong! I do need to adjust the valves. I love it. Everyone talks down on the 3.slow, but for some reason I love the motor. I want to build a bulletproof 3vze just to see what I can get out of it. A turbo would be awesome, but I know that Toyota in 95 started putting a supercharger on the 3.4L. I am curious as to if I could find a supercharger for the 3.0.
Bro if you still got it next time put a MLS head gasket and ARP head studs. You’ll never blow the head gasket again.
the brake booster vacuum line doesn't need to be moved, it has a one way check valve to prevent vacuum from escaping or letting atmospheric pressure from going in.

esalazar123 he thinks I pumps it’s own oil
He’s going to wash out his seals in the turbo
I've never had a blown head gasket on my 3.0 L 3vze as well, this guy has a good educational way to explain this
youre serious? you cant be serious
Very informative as long as you remember to do the opposite of this guy. I swear this guy has to be trolling
I used to think he was but the more i watch i swear he is off his meds..watch his turbo tahoe series..top kek
Dude I think so too! There is no way this real? Nothing he does actually makes sense, but he sounds so confident.
@@rememberussliberty1822 Did you watch his turbo build on his 4Runner? Blew up
The first big bump you hit, the left side upper a-arm is going to smash right into your turbo up pipe :(
great content man! i was considering putting a turbo on myself but now i might take it to a shop because that was one hell of a job

Bad form sir
doin a head gasket..I want to do it right..so how does one screw it up? just follow manuals torgue sequence is all I know?

what kind of turbo did you put in the truck
What happened to the waste gate?
Curious to ask. How much was the turbo set up?
THIS GUY AS NO CLUE
Hey is their any way that you can answer this question “ is their any link to were you bought the turbo kit “
Amazon, ebay, and any place that sells scrap steel. Thats where i get my "kit" parts feom.
I know someone with an 88 3.0 with 300k + miles never had a bad head and wasn't taken care of

Why would anyone "f#@k" with a head gasket unless there was a problem in the first place?... Thanks for the video!
Yeah I don't think he really thought that through
go to your oil pressure sending unit and t it off to feed your turbo
then go to side of oil pan with return line
The reason the headgaskets blow is because of the exhaust cross over pipe getting hot on the driver side right behind the head, notorious spot for exhaust leaks, where they come together.

How can you screw with a headgasket without removing the head? 😂
Easy, remove the block .
The exhaust goes behind the motor close to the intake manifold, and it gets hot. That is why they blow head gaskets. It puts extra heat on the 2 rear cylinder's and coupled with wimpy h.p people push them harder to keep up with traffic.

Jursaw Fix it up! Take the heads to a machine shop and get the valves adjusted.
shadowstewie Thinking about sanding them down with a long straight block with some sandpaper. Frame doesn't look too good though so I'm not sure about the plans
So a head gasket will only blow after someone works on it??
That's what i was wondering. Also...how do you mess with a headgasket?
if you replace piston rings, or screwup the timing while replacing the water pump, or attempt to do a valve job.... whatever it may be that leads to it happening, the fact is, that an Inexperienced mechanic can Easily cause a headgasket to malfunction, wear improperly, or be improperly installed/torqued down.
Syrus54 So that's kinda like using a grinder to clearance the rods and crank on a SBC by an "inexperienced mechanic" ??????.
When all else fails: Make it work.
Syrus54 ..... And how did that go? People tried to give you the correct help and you just brushed it aside.

Great video man! Fyi.Toyota makes a factory supercharger specifically designed for those engines so, that is why nobody has installed a turbo on one.
The pin hole is to reduce the pressure coming from your oil pump so it doesn't push oil into the compressor ultimately pumping oil into your intake. ...

It?
It was untuned. So... 50hp mabey? But that was all she wrote, cuz the rings weren't able to contain the pressure.
@@Syrus54 No it's because you have no idea what you are doing.

this is wicked
the biggest hack on the internet
Impressive! Thank you.
did you do anything to tune it?
Didnt have time to.
The turbo isn't oil cooled. It's just for lubricating it.
People need to keep their eye on the coolant level especially summer with ac full blasting. Otherwise BHG!
Accidentally ended up here.
What in the holy fuck?!?

How the F do you mess with a head gasket ? You can’t mess with a head gasket.
Well, I have the 95 V6 with 260K on it. Runs great, oil pressure a tiny bit low on warm up, and power not the best. Jeep HO V8 beats it easy. Would like a bit more power, but not going to bother to do anything unless it dies.
What exhaust are you running
Bone Stock. Just add the turbo flange after the collector (where the drivers side and passengerbside of the exhaust meet).
So what happened to this motor? How long did it run with the turbo?
Fried a Piston Ring. 1 week.
Syrus54 did you end up tuning this when you were done?
just so everyone understands, he didnt just fry a piston ring. he blew a head gasket. not to mention the numerous other things he managed to fuck up while making this "educational" video

The way you tighten in studs is to double nut it. Put two nuts on the exhaust stud and tighten the nuts together and then tighten the stud in.
What kind of material is the red tubing you're using to connect Turbo two manifold?
thanks so much! Awesome video, two thumbs up!
Zachary Boyer i hope your joking kid please do not take any advise from the guy its all incorrect even worse the haggard garage
Hachi-Roku Performance Group lol right. This guy is a joke
A MAF sensor is not designed to be mounted in a charge pipe.... It will only measure air flow and not calculate for the boost pressure, and should be mounted before the turbo. Happy tuning lol
He did the same shit on his turbo tahoe build..i left a comment telling him but my guesa is hes gonna fuck up that build too
No idea you were out of Washington!
Some 3.0s go for ever some not as long as forever... But as hard as 3.4 swaps are to come by recently without paying up the ass 3.0 done right might be a option. A big ass turbo I hadnt thought of that..
WHAT? no road test and boost readings?
This was the most informative , funny, and savage video I've seen.
It's proven the Exhaust crossover restricts flow and pushes the head gaskets out.
Or people’s lack of maintenance on the motor

Not many turbo this engine and it’s nice to see someone say fuck it and try. I’m hoping to build mine one day to get it from 3.Slow to a 3.Go.
Head gaskets fail due to the temp created by the cross over pipe, you notice most head gaskets from 3.0s are blown there. Toyota had to make the thickness of the head thinner where the pipe snakes behind it. Basically get rid of the crossover pipe and its a little less shitty engine
Great job buddy. Nice video. Where did you buy all your turbo kit?
youre not serious?
You’re in over your head young men leave it stock!
Good for those young men...................
PS: I have a 3vze that has never blown a head gasket... Just thought I'd throw that in...
link to the turbo kit then?
no kit. piece together.
@@Syrus54 I don’t need a kit, I was wondering what turbo and controller and blow off valve you got
@@Syrus54 or atleast a parts list
Not only is this video interesting it’s unique man. I love this
Pretty cool enginuity
Secret turbo? I bet it came from ebay
Need to learn few things so u save your self money and time. third option for booster is one way check valve Works great But this is very entertaining
I didn't know the turbo was oil pump I thought it needed a pressurized supply line
Jerry Hoke that’s because this “mechanic” is 100 percent wrong.... turbos do need a pressurized oil feed and gravity return back to the engine. Everything he did was wrong especially not doing anything to tune the engine.
Education videos? Yeah more like special Ed videos
The turbo doesn't pump oil
Did you cleaned up those metal shavings in your intake metal tube that you welded they can fuckup your ingine very fast
Well I just blew my head gasket in a 91 3VZE 4R, When I took it to the shop.. It had been there before. I thought that was great except it had had the gaskets changed ‘UP’ before. So, this is the second time. Right side too.
Need to get a header the Exhaust crossover cooks gaskets then the pressure from restricted flow pushes them out
Figured that I would just change out the heads gasket whenever I need to replace the timing belt and preempt any downtime on the road.
That poor truck...
A self contained oil system for the turbo by filling 2 hoses with oil..... Jeebus lol.
Checking the comments to see if anyone caught that..
Really upsetting thing to hear
Had to pause at 1:40 to say that I have a 1994 4runner 3.0 v6 with 170,000 miles on it. guess what? no head gasket issue so far. In fact, where I live there's a lot of 4runners and to be honest I've never actually heard of or seen a blown head gasket out of all of them....
And not to mention I am very very rough on my 4runner. Almost melted everything due to a completely clogged catalytic converter and still no head gasket problem. 3 clutches in 7 years, and no I'm not an idiot.... I'm just that much of an asshole to it. I do take good care of it maintenance wise though. Constantly get compliments about it from people wherever I go
super ✌✌
Put a turbo on it and all worried bout tall the vacuum lines and you still left the EGR/pair which is basically 90% of those lines! There is a vacuum on the driver fender under the brake booster which goes all the way over to the 4 wheel drive wonder if that would have helped thing! But no matter what I don’t know why you would drill out a supplied part to a turbo kit? Your crazy dude but it is rad! But really just get a 3.4 it already takes super chargers and turbos!
Power!!!
has anyone ever thought about this being a troll channel ?
That would be plot twist of the century
whos mans is this???
😂😂😂 get that strap!!
Lol
3VZ-FE is the best motor the 3vz is still good
Gus Fring it's actually one of the worst engines Toyota ever made.
The 3VZ-E is a turd, quite possibly the only Toyota engine to ever be called shitty
It's not that bad 17 years and not a problem
It's a flange, not a bracket
I’ll guess the reason there isn’t a follow up on this… lol
Oil cooling makes sense because turbo gets 10x hotter than the engine
