Does anyone have the pic for soldering the 10ohm resistor on tach to make it work???
I think if you actually read the whole thread your questions will be answered.. I read it twice completely and skimmed through several more.. Then search for project threads with people doing the swap... Read read read
whatever. it seems to me like a seven year long thread that's 25 pages long should be summed up by now. i'd rather have the cliff notes that eliminates the chat but i guess you'd rather take the time to post "read read read" than answer my questions and make this thread even longer than it already is..
Great and long thread covering many years. now that more people have done these conversions is there someone that can sum up a few things for me. i live in california so i need advice based on CA smog laws. Also I have an 85 4runner SR5 5sp EFI.#1. What is the best model and year vehicle to source a 3rz from and why?I think it kind of depends on how you want to do it. Meaning, if you wanna use the whole harness out of the truck i believe the earlier styles are harder to use vs the newer styles with the coil pack. Im not too sure if I am talking out of my ass on that one, but I remmeber reading that somewhere. On my swap I have a 1996 and I just chopped the harness at the plugs that come from the computer to the body on both my 90 22re and the 96 tacoma. Im pretty sure the plugs are IF1 and IF2 plug on the 90 and its the IK1 and IK2 on the 96 and I spliced the wires together that needed it to run. Its really really really easy. I just went to the Toyota Informational Systems or whatever it is (https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInfoPortal/appmanager/t3/ti?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=ti_home_page&SMENC=ISO-8859-1&SMLOCALE=U) and purchased the 3 day subscription and used the color coded diagrams to get all the wires leading to/from the motor back to the body. There are a lot of wiring diagrams already out on the internet but theyre black and white and were a total pain in the ass to read unlike the TIS ones. Took about 2 hours or so to trace everything and get it running/driving. Everything still works perfect (with the exception of the oil pressure gauge since on a 3rz its a light not a gauge, but that can be changed with a new sender) and I havent wired in the OBD II port but thats only a matter of 4 wires.#2. Why go with a 2rz as apposed to a 3rz and what is the best model and year to source a 2rz?Dont get a 2rz. They are really close to the same power and theyre cheaper but they are not that great of a motor at all. It really feels like a 22re with a cam/header/intake. Its not that big of an improvement except it being a newer motor. The 3rz was a HUGE improvement over the 22re. I had a rebuilt RE with a cam and exhaust and the 3rz could do circles around my old setup. #3. If you were going to do it all over with what you know now and todays available parts such as chilkats mounts what would you purchase and what would you do yourself starting with the year motor.Id just purchase a motor with harness and computer again. You dont need to get a body harness unless you really want to retain all the tacoma like the fuse box and what not. As nice as the chilkat mounts are, it took like maybe two hours to build and make my own motor mounts with the motor sittting on its own weight in the rig. Id also definitely not buy a harness or get yours made like ORS does. Total waste of money. I think a lot of people are scared of the wiring but its not hard at all.
wow.... good luck with your swap dude.. maybe you could just duct tape it all in there.
There you go, you can PM me if you have any questions. Ill actually answer them for you rather than say "read". This thread really didnt answer a lot of questions for me so I winged it and my motor runs flawless.I totally agree with you on this. Theres way too much chit chat and not enough tech.Cool story dude. That really helps this guy out on a motor swap. Great job
Really? That's weird because 90% of my questions were answered on this thread and reading other peoples swap threads.
try the "for sale" thread.

looked all over for "Policy"
