Anybody run a Megasquirt on one of these yet? Hoping to compare notes and see what worked for you and where you ran into snags. I'll be running an MS1 on a 96 with distributor.I will also be using Megasquirt.. I'll keep you updated
Haven't heard anyone complain about it before but was with this one had to puta remote mount oil filter in
The grickin exhaust is she thickwall stuff
Swaped that ECU out, still ran like garbage. I am going to pass this on to somebody else to figure out and go carb...So I have a Tacoma column and cluster made to fit in a a 1st gen 4runner/2nd gen pickup dash. All plugs to heater and tails etc hook right up to the older plugs. Doner harness is relatively unbutchered. I made a header for it, Amsoil filter on the intake, balance shaft delete, mild port & polish, gasket match rebuilt about 50-60K ago. Overfuels itself so somebody will have to sort it out. I will be pulling it soon so if anybody is interested hit me up!
I was getting so excited that my several-weeks-long read through of this thread was going to culminate in such a cliffhanger solved mystery only to find you had to cut your losses and revert to carb. Sad, better luck next time.
Set my motor down on the mounts tonight. May have to shim the passenger side. After everything was tightened up I had a bit too much angle to the P side. I have several extra mount pieces and I may use the end of the bracket seeings as how the hole for the bolt and index pin is already there. The Tacoma donor had a pacesetter header on it and I'll use it if it fits in OK. Cost effective solution. The collector has 2 heated O2 senders but there is no cat I'm the system. I think I may put one in. At least that way the ecm had dome legitimate input I put the w59 bell ony g series however I have to do something, for a speed sensor. The grickin exhaust is she thickwall stuff when you tap it with a wrench of sounds like school playground swing set. Not the most OK night everybody convenient stuff to work with. I'm Posting to a thread with a smart phone is a pain in the.... yeah. Now I can finish my cab. It is amazing how similar the taco platform is to the 2nd gen pickups.
Well mine is in, borrowed a buddies tow truck and pulled the 22re out in an hour and a half. Swapped the bell housing and planted the 3rz in its new home. Now I need to start working on the details,got a list a page long. One question that I did not see covered it looks like I might have clearance issues at the front lift hook and ps resivour cap. Any one else?
Labor day weekend the swap is on. Custom oil pan is done and waiting on some additional parts. To clear the ifs, the factory front sump pan was cut at the flange and turned 180 degrees, then a large portion was cut out and sheet metal added to clear the pickup. Using the t100 pickup and dipstick. Total capacity is 6 qts to the top of the cross hatching. Final test will be when it drops in, i think i will have plenty of room, but if not i will have to find a way to work around it. All in all i have a ton of hours in cleanup, and probobly 20 hours of time into the oil pan. Will be building the entire exhaust 2.25", with magna flow muffler and cat. New aisin clutch kit, slave, and 02 sensors. Intake was made from 3" exhaust tube. The 90 degree bend is not the best for air flow but will work until i get the turbo for the engine.
What paint is that on your intake and valve cover? I like that.
After a long day I made some progress. Ran into some clearance issues I was not expecting, and did not run into much where I was expecting them. The oil pan fit like a glove, with only millimeters to spare, I really lucked out on the pan. The pan did hit the steering stabilizer, so I will have to build a bracket to drop it an inch. One unexpected problem was my Budbuilt cross member, I have the 2" drivetrain lift cross member. Since the 3rz is canted, it rotated my transfer case, and it was hitting the cross member, so I had to build some spacers, and get some bolts. So I will be rolling around without my skid plate until I get the right type of bolts. I was also going to use my AC compressor and change the clutch, well mine is too long and hits the motor mount, so I will have to get a new compressor for it. Still have a lot to do, but the drive train is buttoned up, going to do some more hoses, clutch lines, down pipe, and wiring. Hope to fire it up for a short time tomorrow, then move on to fabricating the exhaust.
I'm curious what mounts your running? The canted motor sounds a little too farmiliar also what angle is the power steering cap at in relation to the frame?
