@@iansullivan3533 it would I just need some money and I’m kind of headed down the supercharge road already wish I could drive a 4wd with both to determine which way s a better fit

If you go the supercharger route, i humbly request you make a series on the entire install. I will most likely be following along due to my truck also being more prepped for an SC. It honestly just comes down to saving enough to get the damn thing! Good luck!

@@jimrossabrena7955 it’s been so long I can’t recall. I had flipped the throttle body gasket around on a reinstall and that left a gap at the bottom and a huge vacuum leak that was causing all kinds of misfires.

I was just following the directions, the front accessories helped with clearing the front grille, there are some like the air intake plenum that could probably stay.

@@frankvallynot1 good question, I have a lot of those gaskets sitting around and one didn’t fit well, so I tried another. I do think they are though. Go to yoshiparts.com and see if you can find the gasket part numbers. I did have a leak on the passenger side. I fixed by a few more turns on the nuts on the stud. I’m always afraid to break a bolt or stud. Overall I like the EGR installed. Stay tuned for oil analysis videos, results are in!

@@iansullivan3533 are you daring me or seriously wondering? I am perplexed by how many turbocharge vs supercharge. I am thinking to do a gear reduction and arb locker first, telling myself that is the better overall upgrade that will yield more fun in the woods and on the pavement. The other upgrade I really want to do is to do a manual transmission swap but finding the wiring harness has been tough. Money is a problem to make it happen right now, the engine rebuild was done on a whim and it probably came out to 5,000 after all the parts I replaced. But yeah I want to put the 8 lb supercharge pulley on it.

@@levigarrett5614 I do, I feel more high frequency vibrations to the wheel and gas pedal.

@@levigarrett5614 me too, heck it don’t go unless you floor it, is yours a manual or auto.

@@craigphillips1047 manual

I added a few. Also, LCE sales an under drive pulley that is tempting but it slows the water pump and cooling fan down 20% 😮

​@craigphillips1047 definitely not interested in that. Which one did you get and how has it held up?

@@levigarrett5614 shelled out the $ for a stock Toyota one. Only been a couple thousand miles and no known problems

I just ordered a new harmonic balancer, been experiencing some vibration for a few years now so I am banking on the rubber being torn. Hopefully I can get the crank and bolt off and back on. Wish I would have found this out on step 2 of getting the engine back in…

I forgot to mention that Timmy the Toolman has a great video on setting valve clearances. This video was more for documentation for warranty purposes. I’ve got the oil changed so I am going to do the 0-60 test this weekend.

It was something like $3,400 + $600 shipping, not cheap but better than LC engineering

@@axelrojas1467 nope, the California compliant version is crazy expensive

Thanks, I thought so. I looked back at some pictures from the last few years but I don’t see the clip in them so it must have been broke for a while. If uou find a clip buy one for me too!

Will do, the main reason these are late is iMovie keeps giving me an error that I don’t have enough space to export the darn videos. I’ve got 2-3 more videos ready to go. Hopefully the second one I posted yesterday will help you. I’m gonna need your help as I got a couple parts I that I don’t know where they go

I checked mine at 200k and they were barely out of spec.

It’s from LCE performance; they have a kit to put the gauge in line with the fuel rail so you can see your fuel pressure.

Let’s see some numbers!

@craigphillips1047 She'll be getting the correct gearing ⚙️ soon and 1 tons, so finally the right gears, but around another 1000 lbs of axles, I don't care for speed, I built my First Gen for offroad, I'm going to be making it slower with F350 axles and from 38 inch tires to 40s! And lower geared t-cases. She ain't winning no races, but a little more power on road would be nice, I recently installed the LCE header and I love my super dependable 3RZ, my friend said to me the other day "You should do a LS swap" I said "That would be a down grade!" Why would I put a not as dependable motor In my truck, and remove a far superior motor? Especially that even stock I can offroad all day in 90+ degree weather with the AC on , in black + trails, for something that would probably overheat and blow up? I was a Jeep guy, but after driving my Toyota for a few years, through all sorts of obstacles and NY horrible roads, I ain't going back to the Jeep garbage! I'm driving Toyotas for life! Best vehicles made!

They are 17x9 procomps got them from 4wheelparts. Running a half inch spacer

Yota1 performance

What did it cost you? @@craigphillips1047

My coworker said the same thing when I sent him a picture of the motor on the engine hoist. The truck isn’t mine, it’s at my son’s friends uncles place.

How do you like it? How many miles on the build? Anything unique you had them do?

@craigphillips1047 no just stock. It's actually a backup to mate with a w59 I'm rebuilding for my 01 4x4. I've got 300k on it and just adjusted the valves last weekend. The input shaft bearing is getting loud and the syncros are wearing on 5th. Otherwise the truck had the frame replaced by toyota and I wanted a backup drivetrain ready to go when this one fails. Since I've got my bases covered I've been pushing the truck harder and harder and it just keeps running better lol.

That's to say the yota1 3rz isn't even in the truck yet it's for later when current engine fails

@@levigarrett5614 we’ll get it in there already!

@craigphillips1047 trust me, I'll know exactly how hard you can push a high mileage 3rz before I swap it. I'm shifting at like 4500rpm up a mtn 60 miles a day round trip to get to work. I'm actually looking forward more to the teardown of this one when she cuts loose. Otherwise I've spoke to the yota1 guy and hes been featured in a few videos by that toyota time guy and they really seem to know what they're doing.

Engine was just shipped off for a rebuild will let you know when I get it back

A little over 200K; not near as much as one would expect to get out of it. Hopefully, YOTA1 will give me some feedback on worn parts. I purchased the truck with 15K so I have a good feel for everything this engine has experienced.

I’ve only got three days in so far, I guess I could have waited to the end. I have a full time job and then some and money is tight so cross your fingers. I have to have the engine out by end of January then it will be a couple months to get it back and then a couple more to reinstall.

That might be because there is such a large percentage of the engines being the 5VZ 3.4V6. By the time I started making modifications to increase horsepower I was already seeing signs of blow by. I am hopeful for things to feel like they did in 2001 when I first bought the truck. I my came with 26 inch tires and it felt like a beast compared to the 87 22r I had before with 31 inch tires. We shall see how much the 0-60 times increase (check out my other video of before and after header upgrade)

About to change the harmonic balancer and see if that gives a smoother idle

Believe I had another video of the before. Think i improved 2 seconds or so. It feels like it is all in the higher revs. I have a hunch I’ve got some motor or automatic transmission problems that has me so slow overall. Compression has been suspect at times, checked out good when I crank each cylinder for 5-7 seconds. Are you running large tires? Gear ratio? Auto or manual?

Any luck? Mine is choppy off the start and doesn't stop.

@@AD-kq2nxSee above.

@@AD-kq2nxSpark plugs, HT leads/plug connectors, or even coil packs. It will present more readily when you stomp the accelerator. Weird idle (overly high or low), check IAC. Also check the EVAP canister vacuum is still hooked up and not leaking - this leads to ‘lumpy’ idle, not bogging down on accelerating though.

How many miles on it now and have you had any problems?

Not sure, I guess the bucket can travel up much farther with the shim out of it

I would be curious to see power gains with a supercharge; I feel power around 3.5k rpm but not any in the low end

I'm not surprised. I'm not sure if the tires are the main issue or if the engine is "tired" (had some compression concerns in the #4 cylinder or if the transmission has been extra sloppy since its rebuild 30K or so ago.

@@craigphillips1047 I rebuilt the 3RZ engine in my 2000 4x4 w/auto trans @ 378,000 miles, due to a blown head gasket, but went ahead & rebuilt the whole engine including a new Stage 1 head from LCE. Now at 390,000 miles & still no issues with my transmission. I towed trailer loads at work of around 2000 to 2800 lbs throughout the week at work, about 80% of the time during the first 250,000 miles on mine. But I never ran those giant 33" tires & lift kit either. I've always kept 265's or 30" tires on it for most of the time. No body lift. Right now, I'm running the smallest tire you can run on these, a 225. Truck is quicker now vs the 265's or 30" tires, and way quicker than what you're getting with those 33's. I can just about guarantee it's those big tires.

@@howabouthetruth2157 I should have kept some steel rims and put some tiny tires on and see what I get. I have the big tundra breaks so I will probably need to find some cheap steel 1st gen tundra rims. I think I had some 26” tires when I bought it in 2001; it felt like a rocket ship compared to my carbureted 87 with 31 tires (albeit 5 speed manual)

@@craigphillips1047 Oh yeah, I bet it did. Seems like the 225's are about a 26" tire. I could be wrong, I would have to go check. All I know, is 225's are the smallest tire I can go with on mine.

@@craigphillips1047 I ordered a 3rz motor for the truck and some headers. Got the headers, and I might put them on the 2rz just for a little bit extra power. Wanna get a cold air intake for it as well. Nothin too much, just enough to go when I need it to
