Topic: 2rz swap

[kustomfab]

I am about to swap a 2rz mated to a w56 trans/tcase setup.I am just not shure what work needs to be done to my harness.I have the cluster and complete harness and just wondering what needs to be done.


Thanks Justin

Man, I don't even know of anybody who's tried swapping in a 2rz yet, everybody just seems to go with a 3rz.  A girl I worked with this summer told me she had a rolled tacoma 2wd and her dad would probably sell it cheap, but her dad had already promised another guy he'd sell it to him so I missed out, but I wanted to try swapping it in one of my rigs.  Good luck, and I'm sure a few others will see this and maybe be able to help.  What year truck are you gonna swap it into?

Oh sorry I forgot to mention it is out of a 2wd truck and I am putting it in my sami.I know stinkbug put one in and said something about the harness on his site but I have emailed a couple of time with no luck.

Man, that thing's gonna be a rocket!  You'll hafta start a buildup thread in project section when you start.

I can take pics I just don't know how to post.I had a friend give me 44s front and rear out of an old scout.I think I am going to run yj leafs for now but want to switch to coilover/4links but that will be later when money is better.

I know of one 2RZ-FE conversion right here in Fresno. He is a good customer of ours, and was the one who gave me the idea to remove the Tacoma interior fuse box.

22R-E     112@4600 HP   142@3400 TQ   9.0:1
22R-TE   135@4800 HP   173@2800 TQ   7.5:1 - Boost: 6 psi

2RZ-FE   4   142@5000 HP   160@4000 TQ   9.5:1
3RZ-FE   4   150@4800 HP   177@4000 TQ   9.5:1


I can try to get some pics, but it will take me some time... He did this to a 2nd gen Yota.

Thanks Big M.Why did he remove the fuse box?

[BigMike]

Much cleaner installation. I did this on both Bevin's and Dean's (3rd gen 3RZ) conversions, but I have not researched how to do it to Marlin's and my (1st gen 3RZ) conversions. I just need to go over my wiring notes again and I can get them removed.

I suppose that is the only sore thumb of the swap, especially on a 1st gen truck that uses the older glass fuses, so it would be nice to have it removed on our trucks, but in my case, I am already running circuits through removed T100 circuits (brake fuse, AC fuse, Dome light fuse, clock fuse, cig. fuse, etc), such as my E-Locker, CB Radio, and a couple others. So I'll still need to mount a fuse block there to cover these circuits that I like having fused.

I'm new to the toyota world, so what is the displacement of the 2rz?  2.4? 

[kustomfab [OP]]

Yea it is 2.4. I am going to measure the dash I might just swap the whole harness dash and all out of the taco since I want to use the taco cluster.

[kneedownnate]

Yknow, I sometimes wonder why more people don't just do that, but then again to me it seems easier to do a dash swap than all the wiring cause I'm a wiring idiot.
