Hello MC community! I sold my 4runner and I am starting a new build. The platform is a 91 single cab 4x4 pickup. This truck will be built mostly to haul mayo in the desert. More than likely going with a total chaos race front end. Ive had a few crawlers and now its time to go fast, safely, off-road. The 4runner was sketchy. Most of the wheeling around here in so cal is desert type stuff. Let the fun begin! 3RZ swap first and foremost. What are y'all doing these days for a harness? I'm not wanting to bust out a wiring diagram again. Thanks!

Don't know the process. I recommend toyonlyswaps though. Never heard a bad thing.

I will never use megasquirt again lol. It works, but I could never get the IAC to work properly and it didn't seem to be very accurate. Sometimes it ran great, other times not so well. It was extremely sensitive to air temp and if it was hot outside id ping like crazy. Constantly had to tune it..

don't know if you saw this already https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.630507946982558.1073741835.162734467093244&type=3
or this http://www.2rzturbo.net/?p=77

thanks! that will help. I am gonna go for it. well see.

I decided to test fit the motor and make sure there were no mounting issues to run into later. Bolted in very easily without the oil pan haha. Oh yeah....there was a screw sloshing around in the oil pan.. it doesnt look like it had been touched more than a few time. inside of the cylinders look good from what i can see and there are no marks from what i can tell on any of the pistons or walls. assuming the crank gave it a couple love taps. whatever. im sure its fine. :therethere:
