4 runner upgrade ideas, plz help!!

[browny_x]

hey there ppl

just wondering if anyone knows what you can replace a 91 4 runner 2.4l, 22r engine with that will drop straight in with minimal effort or customization. is there a bigger one i can put in as i feel a 2.4 is a little small haha. i have looked at v8 con versions and worked out i cant afford it as it will be my daily driver.

thanks in advance

I'd pass on the V6. not GM's finest work and I've seen some very good conversions still suffer from heat problems etc - and after all that they're still not really that powerful.

Put a good rad in front of them and there fine, and not that powerfull well use an ecotec V6 (you can't say they don't have a few hairy one's). almost cheaper to do that then put a reco diesel in

I've seen one with masses of money spent on cooling, radiator, oil coolers, auto trans coolers, bullbar cut out to allow airflow, and on a 35deg day it cooked so badly they had to pull the pin and go home.

I can't describe how much time and money had been spent on that particaulr conversion.

Cost more than a v8 for less power econamy would be ok tho. I'd go V8 before the deisel anyday. 3R seem's to be the way people are going cheap easy to do still 4cyl.

1KZ with a chip will flog the arse out of any petrol motor in the torque stakes, and still return 10-12L/100

3rz ,the diesel as said above is expensive, and the commo 6 sucks imo

Gwagensteve in the toyota section.....least hes gone for the best option!!!
I put a 3rz in mine, easy to do, everythings off the shelf, nothing custom needs to be made which means if it breaks anywhere u can get the parts u need for it n be on ur way.

The 1KZ is very expensive, cheapest iv seen one of those complete ready to go is about 3g, for that price u can have a 3rz in ur truck with $500 change.

[celtlux]

3rz for sure. Best power for money on a budget.

I run a fuel injected 5.0 with extractors, it never overheats even on long hill climbs at 40 degree C.

They are easy to cool, maybe the motor in the one you mention is r**ted.
