Turbo 3RZ-FE 4Runner - Test Drive with Turbo Kit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- Quick test drive video as requested several times.
Note: At the end of the video, where the AFR and Boost gauges are shown, pay attention to the AFR gauge when I go WOT in first gear. It stays in closed loop, but then goes open loop as soon as it hits second. For everyone who knows about/tunes these trucks, is this normal? I am concerned about it being so lean for being in boost under load while in first gear. Any help would be appreciated.
Truly appreciate you 🙏🏻 I have a 1st gen Tacoma myself and As we begin a new year I’m itching to make a build out of it. Thank you once again
Thanks for watching!
Really nice to see someone put up a nice tech vid of installing and a bit of usage of a turbo 3rz, there should be more rolling around! I find your setup so detuned though, you shouldnt have to worry about fuel pump or injectors till you are pushing over 16psi, the same fuel pump in that truck is used in a Tercel which i have witnessed with 20psi and a 100 shot of nos. What you need is an standalone/piggyback and a half descent tune to keep it happy and 10-12psi you are already set to go there otherwise. Some people can pull good safe power with just an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and stock ECU config's, i feel like this could safely get you to 10psi. At 5psi that whole system is just asleep the whole time! Wake it up a little! :)
With these trucks, the stock injectors are a fairly small 305cc, which is nowhere near enough for anything over 6 or 7psi of boost. Larger injectors (Supra) are a must, along with a larger fuel pump (Walbro 255 or the like). Also, since a lot of setups are non-intercooled, most people don't go over that 6-7psi without methanol injection to cool the intake temps in order to avoid detonation/lean running in boost.
I plan on installing a methanol injection system in the future, and seeing if I can get up to my 7psi-ish goal with just that and the stock ECU. If not, I will likely go for a piggyback too, like a MAPECU3. I want to stay non-intercooled (I am the original owner of the truck, and don't want to cut it up at all), so I won't be running high boost at all.
redonKiLaus You're probably going to want to install 01-04 2rz tacoma injectors, they're known as "pink top injectors" on customtacos and so forth. They're a larger CC rating than your stock ones.
If I find a set for sale on CT for cheap, I will probably pick some up, since a little more headroom is always better. I want to see how far I can get with the brown injectors though, since they flow almost as much as the pinks (only about 10cc/min less).
redonKiLaus Yeah, when I was going to turbo my 2004 2.4L, I researched quite a bit on CT as well as talked to the guys on there who had went the turbo route. There wasn't very much scientific data involved it was just: "you'll want to run pink tops and a 255lph walbro to safely run 10psi." Since I already have pink tops from the factory, I didn't put much additional thought into it.
10 psi stock motor?
Great job sir much respect. I don't know what these guys are expecting at 5 psi out of a 4 cylinder man. it sucks you keep having to repeat yourself all because people are too lazy to watch the whole video. Great job BTW, i built a turbo 4afe on 5 PSI 2 years ago. ran awesome on supra MK3 injectors, A340 stealth pump and like 50 psi for fuel pressure for better atomazation. what killed it was the stock rings had so much blow by it built a crap load of crankcase pressure and blew the seals. should look into venting the head by adding a breather.
Lol 5psi lol
@Juan, is there any way I could contact you for more info about the 4afe ?
Lol atomization is automozation lol
Is it not a 3.7 V6?
Awesome! I'd compare it to about my 03 f150, which has a full on V8 (5.4 liter) and I promise anyone who scrolls across my f150 would dust a 3rz. (I also have a Tacoma single cab short bed with a 3rz). Very impressive from the ole 4runner! Awesome video man!
Love your tech videos! Did you figure out the first gear issue yet? How many miles you have on it now?
The first gear issue is simply the ECU being slow at figuring out what is going on, so it takes a bit for it to go open loop. I have a bit over 170K miles on it, still runs great. Thanks for watching!
make more videos of this. thank you
Total cost of turbo project?
Can the stock tune in the factory ECU work at 10psi or do you have to piggy back---Megasquirt?
The factory ECU can handle about 7 psi without help and run fairly well. If you want to hit 10psi+, consider a piggyback like the MAPECU3/AEM FIC or a standalone like a Megasquirt.
I want one. My 98 has a nice flowmaster and would move better with a turbo. Yours has great pick up, even with the AC on! I used to rebuild engines. But I'm older. Was the install difficult?
Install isn't too bad if you don't mind taking the truck out of service for a bit to ensure it is done properly...depending on your setup you may need to order additional parts, replacement vacuum lines, etc. I have a series of videos on the install process, just search "redonkilaus 3rz turbo" here on RUclips. Thanks for watching!
thank you for your lovely explination
Thank you for watching!
love it man! what exactly did you use? I have a 3.4 2wd lifted on 295, sucks it came with 3.75 gear :/ wish I could do what you have! hope you see this!
+Kenneth Melgar I have a whole series of videos on my channel detailing my truck, and I'm on T4R.org as well - my username is Mc1337sauce if you want to check out my build thread.
I know the feeling with the gears, mine are 3.73 as well, and even with my 265/70/17 tires (much smaller than a 295), acceleration off the line still hurts. Thanks for watching!
Is it still running good to this day? Any problems?
interesting set up you have there on your 4-Runner! Am thinking of doing somthing similar to my Surf (Japanese variant of 4Runner). Could you please elaborate abit more? Where can i purchase one of those 3RZ-FE turbo kits ?
You can get the turbo kit from KO Racing (koracing.net) if you want one that is bolt-on using the stock ECU, or you can get the LC Engineering kit (lcengineering.com) along with their pro fuel-injection system for something with a bit more horsepower and tunability out of the box (though it comes at a much steeper price tag than the KO Racing option). I personally recommend the KO Racing kit if the truck is a daily driver, and it is of very high quality at a great price.
What turbo kit did you use? I am looking to do this to my 3RZ-FE 4runner
KO Racing's, great kit. Thanks for watching!
did you pass emissions or even get tested in your state? the only thing holding me back would be if it isn't smog legal. mabye it would depend on the level of boost as well?
+BringBiggieBack Yes, if you are in a state where they do the simple OBD-II test (plug into the machine, passes all computer tests), you're good. If your state is like California with a strict visual inspection, I can't say if you'd pass for sure. Most states just run OBD-II computer tests, so if that's how yours is, then you should be good to go. Thanks for watching!
Man you have got the toys! What is in your stable currently? I love your 4Runner
+joegolden481 Currently have this truck, 2011 Stillen Supercharged Nissan Xterra, 2015 VW Passat Limited, 2001 Toyota Camry Gallery Series, 2011 Suzuki GSX1250FA, and 2016 HD Road King. Thanks for the complements!
amazing good luck
What car year and model is this? Looking at an '06 4Runner SR5(?) and coming from an '08 Volvo S80 T6 AWD, I want that turbo feeling in my car again, so if you have any advice on this lemme know.
This is a 1997 4Runner. It's going to be hard for you to find a turbocharged SUV in the segment of the 4Runner (though you can supercharge the 4Runner with the available TRD supercharger kit) - the only non-I4 turbo SUV I can think of besides Volvo is the Cayenne Turbo. An aftermarket turbo setup like what I have is definitely do-able, but requires a decent initial investment and more time and money spent on maintenance over the life of the vehicle. Thanks for watching!
Hi, Nice Build, Just wondering where did you run the vacuum hose from the fuel regulator to?
I tee'd into the first vacuum port on the throttle body (on my truck, the EGR runs there as well). If you are standing in front of the truck, it is the one furthest to the left. You can see a picture on the first page of my build thread on T4R.org - username is Mc1337sauce. This link should take you to the post that has the picture in it: www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/150432-mc1337sauces-modest-1997-4runner-build.html#post1650065
Also did you add cruise control? If so what brand is it?
+joegolden481 Cruise control came standard on most 4Runners delivered in America. You can probably find the OEM Toyota kit in a salvage yard fairly easily. Thanks for watching!
I had the same problem with mine and i have a manual trans. Bought a o2 sensor calibrator from URD, now it goes open loop starting at around -3 to 0 inches of mercury. I read that the ECU is too slow to transition from closed loop to open, that causes the lean. The o2 calibrator helps the ecu to go open loop sooner before full boost.
Thank you for the info. I really appreciate it. Is this the O2 Calibrator you are talking about?
urdusa.com/Electronics-Performance-Electronics/c66_72/p1260518747/URD-O2-Sensor-Calibrator/product_info.html
I have been looking into purchasing that for a while, but could never find any info on them. I don't plan on pushing more than 7psi of boost (non-intercooled) with my setup, so I think it will be perfect.
Did you do any tuning on the O2 calibrator itself, or did the stock URD map work perfectly?
redonKiLaus there are 2 versions of this calibrator. The written tune that it came with works and can be adjusted if desired. I cant guaranty it will work with your setup, but it does work with mine. I'm also using the URD MAF calibrator for fuel control.
I think the preloaded tune should be fine from what I have read on CustomTacos and from URD directly. If not, I have some prior tuning experience, so I should be able to modify the tune to make it work just fine.
I don't think I will need the MAF calibrator because I am running an all-stock fuel system. I have the brown 305cc injectors, so I am going to hit 7psi with those; if I can't do that, then I will lower the boost back down and try again with larger injectors, and that that point, I might need the MAF calibrator or a piggyback like a MAPECU3 to control fueling. I think I *should* be able to hit 7psi without much issue, though, as I am currently at 5psi and run an 11-11.5 AFR at WOT, so I should be able to stay under a 12 AFR with 7psi.
yout interior looks new, has it all been replaced?
Mine was just replaced and that looks like it was too. It’s so nice having brand new interior
Mine is completely original from 1997, there is not a single part that has been replaced inside. Thanks for watching!
Your AFR's at idle are a bit lean. 16 is too lean and it should hover around 14.7. I know it will fluctuate a little bit but it shouldn't change by +2 points. Also under decel or off throttle it should shoot lean then work it's way down to 14.7. Yours went rich after shooting lean. Looks like some fine tuning is needed. What size turbo are you running because it's not even really noticeable.
All of the AFR issues were attributed to the BOV. It was originally a TiAL Q VTA valve, and my truck pulled enough vacuum at idle to crack the valve causing a bit of a vacuum leak. After a WOT run the valve would let out intake air that the ECU had already accounted for, thus the rich condition on decel. Both issues were fixed by swapping on a TiAL QR bottom half and recirculating the BOV; drivability was also immensely improved. My EFI relay also went bad just recently, so that may have been part of the issue as well; as I haven't put too many miles on the truck and drive it pretty rarely, it may have been going bad back then.
Turbo is a Garrett T3/T4 .50A/R compressor and .63A/R turbine. I'm only running it off of waste gate pressure @ ~4.5psi. The turbo was only meant to give the truck a bit more power to compensate for the large tires and its weight - I have other toys to go fast with. I'm running a 3.73 gear set in the rear diff with 32in tall tires, so a regear to 4.30 or 4.56 is definitely in order and would improve performance significantly.
I want to do this to my 4Runner really bad but I need some help understanding everything needed to happen for me to turbo charge mine and what to buy
Sir.. How about a video on fuel pressure testing this bada$$ 3rz-fe engine?
If I end up needing to upgrade the fuel pump to handle more boost in the near-ish future, I will definitely show how to test the fuel pressure on the truck. Right now the fuel system is doing fine, though, so I don't plan on testing it immediately unless something comes up.
Well it looks like it staying close to 14.7 A/R ( which is alright) during that first gear pull. Of course you would like for it to be around 12.8 under full boost for safety of the engine. From what I do know of Toyota tunes that the computer pulls timing when shifts on the auto.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out why it doesn't go open loop in first gear. I posted a thread on CustomTacos, and have gotten a few responses so far, but I won't have much time to delve into it until I'm on summer break from school.
It runs perfectly and switches between open/closed loop flawlessly in every other gear. It's just an issue in first. Hopefully I get it figured out so I can add a bit more boost comfortably.
There is no knock/ping/detonation even with the 14.7 AFR, so I think it will be ok to drive for the time being, seeing as I only get it out on the weekends anyway.
+redonKiLaus Did you figure it out ?
Yep (sort of), turns out that the ECU is slow to switch from closed to open loop on these trucks since they run narrowband O2 sensors...only solution is a standalone ECU, or to roll into boost. The problem may be alleviated by reducing engine load through gear ratio (swap third members), but I have yet to dive into that since I haven't found a 4.30 third for sale yet. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your response. I'm interested in the ko racing kit for 2rz 2.4 4 cylinder tacoma ; do you think I'll have the same problem?
Depends on what model year your truck is, and if its auto or manual. The issue will be much less in 01-04 (wideband) and in manual trans trucks (better gear ratio).
Did you use a kit? I have a 1996 tacoma 4x4 with a 3rz and a manual gearbox. Would love to maybe do something like this one day.
KO Racing is where you need to look - they have everything needed to turbocharge one of these trucks. Thanks for watching!
I swear my 97 gets speeds quicker than that and it’s original with 290k miles, but I like the sound of that sucker
Where do you get that kit at?
KO Racing directly. This one is 2WD with a very tall gear ratio, so it accelerates quite slowly. Thanks for watching!
@@redonKiLaus
Mine is 2wd also.., I appreciate the info 👍🏼
did anyone else notice he ran with his ac on?
I only did because it was a bit over 115 degrees out that day...I challenge anybody to drive in that weather with no AC lol. The AC and heatsoak/high IATs do sap a lot of power, though. Thanks for watching!
good video and i like the way it sounds. maybe next winter you can do another vid on a dry day. turbos love cold dry air. i intend on tossing on a tdo4 to my 3rz at the end of the summer
I was actually planning on doing that this past winter, but producing other videos got in the way of that. I'm sure I will get around to it one of these days.
redonKiLaus but you said it was 73 degrees outside in the video
Lol you said it was 70 something in beginning of video.. Why lie?
how many miles you have driven with a turbine? What boost create trubines ?
I have driven approximately 5000 miles with the turbo so far. No issues at all. Running 5psi of boost, no intercooler, ambient summer temp 110+F and ambient winter temp 70F.
Lástima que soy pobre
No tengo para ponerle el turbo
Estaría hermoso ponerle eso .
Tienes un maravilloso auto
What year is yours? I have a 1999 3.4 SR5 4WD with a cold-air intake
+Tyler Klein This truck is a 97. If you haven't already, join up on T4R.org, there's tons of info on there about these trucks and virtually unlimited reading material on modifications. Thanks for watching!
Did you do any fuel modifications? Im just wondering what the afr is looking like with stock injectors and computer.
No fuel system or ECU modifications, running approximately 11 for AFR at WOT; this is at 5 psi of boost. Thanks for watching!
redonKiLaus I'm wanting to do a build similar to this. Make it my dd. How is it on the highway? My biggest gripe with toyotas is lack of power on the highways.
It's alright on the highway, since mine is 2WD it has 3.73 gears from the factory and with upsized tires it's still a bit sluggish in certain scenarios. A 4.10, 4.30, or 4.56 third member would cure the issue, but I haven't yet found a factory Toyota third in either of the higher ratios (my preference) at a price that isn't outrageous.
I will say, it's definitely been very reliable after being turbocharged. I drove the truck about 40 miles daily off and on for a while and have racked up almost 20k miles on it being turbocharged, and no issues after working out a few initial kinks.
redonKiLaus the only none elocker gearing that you will find is a 4.10 (all 4x4 non e locked 4runner or Tacos) or 4.56(4x4 4runner with the 3rz). Check a local junk yard you shouldnt have any trouble finding a 4.10
You can find a 4.30 factory non-locked third from older trucks, but they're definitely fairly rare. Since I don't daily drive this truck anymore, I'm really on the lookout for a 4.56 third to maximize acceleration potential. 4.10 thirds are plentiful, but I figure if I am going to do the work I might as well do it the way I really want.
DASS BOOOOSSSSTTTTT!!!!!
You sir are starting to sway my desires of a supercharger. Have you or do you plan on doing any dyno runs?
I have not done any dyno runs, but KO Racing did dyno a turbo 2RZ (2.4L) at 4.5psi, and it made 175RWHP and 185ft/lb of torque at elevation in Oregon. With the 2.7L at 5psi, I guesstimate that I am making somewhere around 190-200RWHP and 200-210ft/lb of torque. I am planning on increasing boost with methanol injection in the future, too, so stay tuned for that. I definitely recommend the turbo over the supercharger. Copied and pasted below is my response to another individual who was considering a supercharger, with my reasoning why a turbo is better.
I still highly recommend the turbo over the supercharger for a couple reasons.
The first is cost. A new supercharger setup from LCE is $2725, while a new turbo kit from KO Racing is $2550 (including the new cat necessary to make it 100% bolt-on).
The second is performance. The supercharger running 4psi of boost will make nowhere near the power that the turbocharger at 5psi makes. Not only will the turbo be running more boost (which, in general, means more power), but the parasitic nature of the supercharger takes away some of the additional power that the supercharger makes.
Many argue that superchargers are better for offroad trucks because boost is immediate. What many fail to consider, however, is that the peak boost (4psi in the case of the smog-legal LCE kit) will only be reached at high RPMs. The amount of boost is directly proportional to the speed of the engine. With a turbo kit, however, the full 5psi of boost is reached at about 2000 RPM (if running the quick spool turbo from KO Racing), and is present until you let off the throttle.
People also recommend superchargers over turbos because they think that superchargers are completely bolt-on, while turbos are not. While this is true in many (I would even venture to say, most) cases, the KO Racing kit is pretty much 100% bolt-on. There are things that I did to make the kit better, but they are not necessary for the kit to function properly (although, at the very minimum, I would recommend the URD MAF extension harness for the MAF sensor, so you don't have to cut and splice your original harness). The LCE supercharger kit is, of course, also bolt-on.
Hi, i'm considering this kit for my 4Runner but first i'm studying it as much as i can, can you please tell me what part number is the URD MAF extension harness that you used it?
I'm thinking about putting a turbo on my 2.7l 3rz Tacoma and would the check engine light come on? and can u run it on stock motor or so I need to upgrade my piston and bigger heads and lifter and rockers? do I also need to go bigger size pipe like 3''?
The check engine light will only come on if you don't properly install a prefabricated kit or engineer a DIY system. The stock 3RZ can handle about 5 psi of boost without any ECU or hardware upgrades. Fabricating a 3" exhaust will help with power output and spool times, but isn't absolutely necessary. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
redonKiLaus ok thank u and what about the supercharger?
Check out LC Engineering for superchargers - they are the only ones offering them for the 3RZ these days.
changed if when installing the fuel injectors and fuel pump?
Fuel injectors and fuel pump were not changed. If using a stock ECU, you can upgrade to Toyota Pink injectors and Walbro 255LPH fuel pump. AFR stays in 11-12 range as the truck is now.
Where you get the turbo from?
KO Racing. Thanks for watching!
Like what kit you bought and the right way to do all this stuff
Check out KO Racing as well as my turbo install series, all the info you need should be there. Thanks for watching!
I have a 1996, 3rz Tacoma , extended cab , 4x4, that I’ve been fixing up. Where can I go get a good turbo package for this truck. For a daily driver and some off-road Ing
Check out KO Racing, LC Engineering is an alternative as well. Thanks for watching!
redonKiLaus : yes, i know of LC Engineering and use them a lot, but they didn’t encouraged me much on a turbo package and didn’t have much of a recommendation on which one would work best for my application
@@daleleis5563 They're a great outfit, but like all the companies that sell these types of products cater to the more technically minded who can spec a kit out for themselves. Try reaching out to KO Racing, Kris the owner there is extremely knowledgable and helpful.
What is that turbo, how much power is it making?
T3/T4 hybrid turbo, kind of old school with journal bearings by today's standards, still not making much power though, quite low boost but still quite fun. Thanks for watching!
Why not just drop a cheap V8 in there? My NA Tundra with a 2UZFE is faster than that and its also a lot heavier too. I guess you would be getting better MPG than me though lol, toyota V8s arent known for gas milage. Not hating on your setup though, its pretty nice. Just a 4 cylinder seems like a small engine for such a big car, I hope that you were able to fine tune the setup a bit more and get some more boost. It would make a impressive sleeper.
The truck was still pretty slow in this video as it was still well over 110 degrees out - not exactly ideal weather for a power run. The differential gearing also contributes to the poor acceleration from a stop, as I'm running either 3.73 or 3.91 gears (don't remember), and the truck has 31in tires on it - for reference, a 4 cylinder 4Runner that came with that tire size from the factory has 4.56 gears.
Now that it's somewhere between 50-80 degrees out during the day, the truck runs much better and is significantly quicker. It keeps up with a 2V 4.6 1997 Mustang GT pretty well from a roll.
The truck is a daily driver, so I did not want to swap in a V8 and have to deal with any potential issues. If there were a kit put together with all the parts necessary, maybe, but there are only 2 swaps that were documented with any kind of depth, one of a 1UZ and one of a 2UZ, and even then much of the information regarding wiring was left out, and that is not something I would want to figure out on my own.
Thanks for watching!
redonKiLaus That sounds a lot more reasonable. I had a set of 32s on my truck then I went down to 29s and the difference is night and day. I could imagine the turbo not liking the heat especially if it's running without a intercooler.
Did you gain any gas efficiency?
Absolutely, significant increase when driving normally. Thanks for watching!
Sir, I think I've decided on lce performance supercharger 4 psi boost.
I still highly recommend the turbo over the supercharger for a couple reasons.
The first is cost. A new supercharger setup from LCE is $2725, while a new turbo kit from KO Racing is $2550 (including the new cat necessary to make it 100% bolt-on).

The LCE supercharger kit is, of course, also bolt-on.
redonKiLaus Thanks for your input. I'll mull it over as I decide.
pdx650 Sir, someone at work mentioned how I might end up needing to strengthen internal engine components after installing a turbo on my 3rz-fe engine, drivetrain, both differentials, and u-joints. I do understand his point, but with such low psi offered by KO racing, I don't think it could be that much of a problem. Also, an alternative to this would be a turbo diesel engine swap from a MkIV VW Jetta with an ALH TDI engine instead I'm considering.
If you are running under 10psi of boost, nothing needs to be upgraded internal to the engine. The differentials are fine, as are the u-joints, and the transmission (in the 2WD 4Runner, at least) is the AISIN A340E, which is the same transmission that came in the MKIV Supra, and can handle 300-400hp in stock form. The kit is 100% bolt-on, no other upgrades needed if running 5psi of boost.
If you decided to go over 10psi, you would need to build your engine with forged components.
The diesel swap is very cost and time prohibitive. Swapping a diesel into a vehicle that originally came with a gasoline engine is also not allowed in many states due to emissions standards, so the truck would not pass inspection and could not be registered. The VW diesel swap has not been done on a 3rd gen 4Runner to my knowledge, but I know of people who have put them into first and second gens. The power gain is minimal with this engine, as well.
Some people have swapped in the 1KZ diesel engine from the Japanese 3rd gen Hilux Surf, which is the same as a 4Runner, but the cost is quite high and there is virtually no power gain whatsoever. I believe that the 1KZ ECU is not OBD-II either, so you can't pass inspection at all with that engine in place (if your state has inspections).
The best option in terms of cost and easiness is the turbo kit.
redonKiLaus Thanks for your input, sir. I suppose the best option is the ko turbo and just have a tdi jetta as another car for fun. Any new vids with your turbo spooling up?
How reliable has this kit been?
It's been perfect thus far, with around 20k turbocharged miles on the truck. Thanks for watching!
What kit did you install?
It's the KO Racing kit, with some modifications made over the years since installing it. Thanks for watching!
Cant find the kit

Quick look on his site and it's still there. Thanks for watching!
Is it necessary to tune after installing it i
Not if you're running a low level of boost; anything over 5-7 psi will require tuning via the method of your choosing. Thanks for watching!
What about the miles per gallon?
20 or so. Thanks for watching!
They made a 3rz 4runner!?? Is it 2 or 4wd
Indeed, mine is 2WD but they were also available as 4WD models. Thanks for watching!

Hey man i love this build, where could i get a turbo kit for a 2000 4runner 5vz? thanks
As far as I know the only turbo kit that is made for the 5VZ is offered by CXRacing. There have been a couple of custom ones that individuals have fabricated, but the CXRacing option is the only one I know of available now. I have heard that there are some fitment issues from time to time, so keep that in mind if you are not able to do light fabrication yourself. Thanks for watching!
Could you post an update on what the turbo did to your MPG? Thanks.
I used to get about 16mpg driving like a grandma when it was N/A. Now, with the turbo, I just got 17.5mpg when I filled up, but that was flooring it from every light and driving the truck like I stole it. It will likely get 20+ driving it nicely.
how much seconds is the acceleration to 60 ml per hour?
+shtiben81 I haven't timed it yet, but I plan to soon once the AZ heat dissipates and I have some free time. May make a video on it as well. Thanks for watching!
Horrible results for all the work put into it.
sr... i need to contact u...
Feel free to message me here on RUclips, or on T4R.org, TacomaWorld, or CustomTacos - my username on all three sites is Mc1337sauce. I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
4 cylinder
Bro that’s weak af 😂 could have done a v8 swap twice with all the money you have in that thing😂
That is a fake turbo
It's definitely real my friend. Thanks for watching!
all that work it's slow
Thanks for watching!
It's a heavy truck. How dumb are you Vermont?
I’d be cooler if it was manual 😏
Sure would, but the truck has too much sentimental value to me to do a larger scale conversion like that. Thanks for watching!
this car is slow as crap
It's an SUV with an I4 engine, the vehicle isn't exactly designed for speed. The turbo install on this truck is more of a novelty, as at this point in its life it's only driven to car shows along with some of my other vehicles. Thanks for watching!
My 2rz was faster and noisy in a stock engine...
Your 2RZ was also in a pickup that weighed around 1000lb less than a 4Runner, and power-to-weight ratios matter quite a bit in vehicle performance. Thanks for watching!
Haha my stock 3.4 is faster wow
Stan Bieniecki It may run faster from a stop, but after tuning, mine stays dead-even with a friend's supercharged 5VZ Tacoma from a roll - my truck came with 3.73 gears and I am running much larger than stock tires, so the acceleration off the line isn't great. Thanks for watching!
You are expecting a 2.7L 4-cylinder to outrun a 3.4 V6 which it was not engineered to do? Maybe as a 2wd, and someone would have to replace the pistons and rings to run 10 psi for faster acceleration than your 190 hp 3.4 V6 with same tire tread and wheel weight.
