Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yeah ECU is looking like a good candidate, do you mind if I ask you what it cost?
and was there any manual/auto related issues? most vn's are autos and mine is a manual

cheers

Thanks for the suggestions guys. IAC valve and seat black with muck, same with the in and out ports. Cleaning those now. Found a MAP line that would connect to an auto gearbox that had been plugged up for use in the manual 4runner. Plug was missing. I think this has cause a vac leak and the ...

Hi, I'm looking for some help with a problem I've been having. I Had issues with my VN V6 fitted 4runner, It started to splutter and miss under load. I pulled the intake, rockers and crank case off suspecting a bent push rod, loose rocker or similar. Swapped out the timing chain as it was getting ...

If the 3lt 6 is good the turbo would be the better option. commie V6 is a good engine but they can give you real headaches in the early stages (as I am experiencing now). But then again turbo's can be unreliable too.

With that in mind why not look at a supercharger? No lag and more reliable.

1uz, Lexus 4.7 v8 thing?

would try to avoid those,

unless you have some kind of fetish for fixing overheat issues...

I've got one of the commie 3.8 conversions and it gets about 300k's to the tank at the moment, but it's running rich. 450-500 is do-able. I'd like to know where 800k's range came from though. I have mates with 308 V8 landies and they get about 300-350k's to a tank as well. So a 350 chev could prove ...

Fitted a VR-VS V8 size radiator yesterday will let you know how it goes. Are you still having troubles?

Just picked up a VS V8 radiator (as there is little size diff between 6 and 8, V8 is just thicker)

Will take pics when I install and let you know how it goes.

I have a similar conversion (VN 6 to 90 4runner). The 22R Toyota radiator mine is fitted with supposedly has the capacity to cool the engine. Although my radiator is pretty old and had a couple of leaks recently (see "3.8 radiator issues please help" it's on page 2 atm), after I welded the holes up ...

Thanks for the recomendations, I have a bit more researching to do I think. If the 22R stands up it would stand to reason to replace it with a new one, but I'm thinking it needs to be bigger as I had some issues during a 40 degree day in Melbourne and it might be better to cautiously over engineer a ...

Heaps of leaks in the top of the radiator. Welded most up today to get by, but it'll need replacement soon.

Question, I've bought a 1990 4runner with a 3.8 vn Holden engine conversion. This is my first modified 4wd and it's proving...challenging. The radiator (a 22R) needs replacement, I'm wondering if I need to replace it with something beefier or just another 22R. A number of radiator blokes I've called ...
