Hell ya man im down! My goal is to have the 3rz swap done by the end of summer.

Ok so here are some pics of yesterday 


Started tearing her apart today. Just have to take out the trans bolts and itll be pulled probably by tomorrow i hope 

Whats wrong here???

Ya thats right looks like she was hungry for some thrust washers yummmmmmm 

[ImmortalYota80]

Ok got the engine pulled today. Pretty easy to do by myself. The old 20r is forsale has a good top end 2 year old smog legal webber carb, and a good leak free powersteering setup.

I have a marlin built G54 that I got about one month ago. I really hope that its gong to work cause i just dropped 1500 on that transmission.

[HogCanyonHopper]

hate to break it to ya but i dont think there is any way you will be able to bolt that tranny to a 3rz. better do some research

A w59 bellhousing will bolt up to my current g54 they have the same bellhousing boltpattern as a w56

[HogCanyonHopper]

Ya ive seen that but im not too worried about running a G54. I mean it is a brand new marlin built transmission if I ever have any problems with it I know that marlin will help me out im not worried about it at all.

this is gonna be sick! i love a good 3rz powered 1st gen.

i just wish i would've done the swap after my original 22re bit the dust instead of dropping another 22re in it.

Ok so i have a guy that wants to trade me for my old engine for a set or 4 35 inch bfg km1 tires. 3 Tires have 60% and ones got 20%. Do you guys think thats a decent trade?

[damascusyota]

Is there a reason most everyone chooses the 3rz over the 2rz? I know the 3rz has more displacement but from what I remember reading, the performance numbers are practically the same.. just wondering.

Im not sure either but id settle for a 2rz. 3rz jut seems more popular.

[Tungsten Slayer]

Little difference in power between the 3 and 2RZ.  8 HP to be exact.  The 3RZ has a forged crank while the 2RZ is Cast from what I was told.  3RZ has balance shafts which I would delete for rock crawling and the 3RZ has a longer stroke, hence the balance shafts and more displacement.  I always rock the 2RZ because of no balance shafts and I get em so much cheaper.. Going turbo on mine right now.

Ok so I got my dash pulled and started stripping the truck down even more.





Some of the wiring is a little messy and has been nig rigged but i will clean everything up


Now i have no clue why the previous owner did this


Those are the ports for the heater and ac to go to the little dash vents on the sides. I have no clue why they have been blocked off. Also im going to be removing all me AC stuff it doesnt work anyways and it wont be compatible with the new engine.

Kind of your call..  Im not sure how long ago they made km1's but i feel like it has been awhile.  with that said ive always heard people say once a tire is 7years old it is no good anymore.  After i had a 8year old km1 blow out on the highway, i started staying away from buying old tires.  just my :2cents:

[ImmortalYota80]

Well boys and girls its not a 3rz but I suppose its not that bad of a deal for only $800

[megaphoneman]

Nice!!! Super jelly!!


Blaaaahhhhhhhh

[Chuyota]

Clean welds! Truck is looking good!!

[ImmortalYota80]

Well only had the runner for one day and the tear down has already began!


Also i thought this was weird my ECU is labeled 22r

I've decided that im going to do a complete rebuilt to the engine. I compression tested the cylinders and they were
#1- 170 PSI
#2- 175 PSI
#3- 171 PSI
#4- 179 PSI
I thought that was very high so im extremely happy with this. I'm simply gonna get new gaskets, seals, water pump, oil pump, some stiffer valve springs, and maybe a cam. Since the compression is so high im most likely gonna leave the bottom end be because everything should be in good shape. I'm gonna order everything through 22re Performance. Any other suggestions?

[ImmortalYota80]

Also forgot to mention that my dad has a buddy that has a little welding for me to do to his bronco. Gotta weld some shock hoops on, weld a set of mounts on for his new extended radius arms, and cut and turn his dana 44 axle knuckles. Hes giving me a brand new set of 35/12.50 tires for this work well worth it if I do say so myself 

[ImmortalYota80]

And heres a video of it running

good choice! they are great guys there and gave me a good deal on parts for mine!

I would so appreciate it if you would do a really good write up on the 22re swap! Especially on the wiring required! I would almost pay you... almost. Lol

I have a spectacular opportunity to do a 3rz swap (whole truck for $300 ), but I don't know if I can do the wiring for it so I may go with a 22re if I can find a truck.. Either way, I'm sure many others and myself would benefit from a legit write up on a 22r ---> 22re swap.

You know theres a ton of info out there for 3rz swap but not alot for the 22re. Basically its all an easy swap up until you have to splice in your existing guages, ignition and all that other fun stuff. Thats where im stuck at and looking for help.

Yep! I'm not at all worried about mounting the 3rz and transmission, rerouting the exhaust, clutch lines, gas tank, etc. but the behind the dash wiring scares the heck outta me. BUT a 3rz would be awesome! My uncle has done several LS swaps and a few other domestic swaps so he may be able to help me out. If not, I may wind up paying someone to do the wiring part..
