V8 4Runner Header Installation - 4th Gen 4Runner Doug Thorley Headers - THE BEAST!!!

[@MountainTactical78]

This is probably the best/ insightful video I’ve seen so far on 4th Gen. Dude, I sure do appreciate you making it.

[@EnigmaEngineering]

Thank you. I put a lot into this video and I really appreciate the comment.

[@mikelmarion]

@@EnigmaEngineering was this car tuned? Could you do a video on the gas mileage? Was it just headers? Or full exhaust and x pipe. What year is the 4 runner?

[@adventuretrails1ato]

@@mikelmarion this would be good to know. And 2005 the horsepower increased a lot with the variable cams.

[@emanueladamache7034]

Just a side note that is important to know. Those extra ports in the new exhaust gasket is for the 2UZFE's that has the secondary air pump. They introducted the air pumps on the 2005+ year cars. If you plan on getting aftermarket headers, make sure the headers DO or do NOT have the piping for the air pump. They are built into the new headers. It will depend what year engine you have. As for the gasket it will be the same reguardless if you have the air pump or not.

[@nicholasdupre6916]

“Every single new connection leaked a lot” 😅🤣. Brought me back to my high school days when I was learning how to work on cars with my dad. Awesome, honest effort. Every math teacher would approve of your footage because you showed ALL of your work. Thank you so much for the honest detail delivered in laymen’s terms.

[@EnigmaEngineering]

Ha ha thanks Nicholas! I try not to skip any steps but keep it interesting at the same time. The brute force method!

[@Rancejunge]

You did a great job on the production of video and installation! I put forged H beam rods and LF4 Forged pistons in my 2UZ-FE making 10.85 to 1 compression ratio plus ported/polished (unshrouded the valves) heads. Found a TRD supercharger and will be installing that also. I have the DT long tube headers like yours and y pipe but I went with Magna Flow exhaust system no cats I believe. How has this worked long term? I wish you could drive yours at a steady 70 mpg and get an accurate MPG test. Once mine is together I will give you my results but I have 35 inch tires on a 2004 Lexus GX470. I have my Supercharged VVTI 2UZ-FE engine almost complete to be swapped in. It is a lot of work LOL!

[@archerguy74]

Just finished headers on my 03, yoir video was helpful to smooth out the process. But I do have to say the dipstick does not go between those pipes. 1 and 2 in means front to back. Needed to hit the furthest outside gap in the pipes and it barely needed tweaking. Retained all the factory holes and no spacer needed.

[@luketh87]

Good to know, about to put them on my 03 this weekend and was wondering about that. Did you do O2 spacers or simulators to avoid a light?

[@hdtv1063]

I think 4th gen 4 runners were the best in my opinion. They look nice and stylish and they came in v8 variants. I don’t care how many horsies I have but v8. Yeah, I just think they look really cool. Edit: bro wow the difference you made after the upgrades were insane

[@jerryray808]

im up to 260K on my v8. It has only seen 5 WI winters so the bottom is like new. A little rust converter and LPS3. still waiting for the header issue

[@Mrtekem]

For the studs, soaking in white vinegar for a few hours loosens the rust. Then soaking in pb blaster or wd40 allows you to remove the nut from the stud with a proper vice grip placed strategically and a ratchet. I did the same and just cleaned threads on the stud and nut to ensure a smooth install. The ends you chopped off would have revealed the inverted star tip to thread the studs back in the block... I did this only because my Toyota dealers in my area didnt have any studs and nuts in stock. And they pretty pricey too so reusing the studs and nuts saved about the cost of one header...

[@Justadudeman22]

Keep us updated on tune ! 03 v8 owner here !

[@Jcatapangan]

Keeping this 4th Gen was a great choice! I believe you can use the suspension from a newer Tacoma 16+ which are Bilsteins and get a 1.5” to 2” lift. It’s a pretty good option if you want a budget lift.

[@EnigmaEngineering]

Love the 4th gens. Awesome - I will look into the newer Tacoma suspension when I do that. Thank you for the advice!

[@AlexM-np1cx]

@@EnigmaEngineering I put on 2017 tacoma TRD off-road suspension on my 2005 v8 4runneer. The front shock assembly will get you around 1.5-2". Ride is pretty good. I went ahead and added. 3/8" strut spacer as well for a bit more lift. In the rear, I used tacoma rear shocks but you need to press out the bushing and size up. (Replaced the bushing with an $8 energy suspension bushing).. BUT, I would not recommend using the tacoma rear shocks. I had them w/ 2" dobinson springs.. but the shocks were very underdamped. The rear end felt very floaty. I'd recommend just getting TRD off road taco front shocks/ springs and go with bilstein 5100 in the rear

Great video....just upgraded my o6 sport from headers through tailpipe with thorley and Gibson. Sweet sound and performance. But what a bear to do.

Gonna be doing the headers to my 07 here in a few weeks, which will be interesting because it also has the EGR system that siphons exhaust gas off, so there's a couple extra bolts that are probably gonna suck to try and get to. This video has me super stoked to do it though, and I'm glad I watched it, because now I'm gonna go buy even more swivel sockets/extensions.

In the wiring part of the video it would be best to use splices crimped in with barrel connectors then a better choice of the kind of heat shrink is adhesive lined SCL which isolates the rigged areas from flexing. SCL should always be used over solider joints to reduce flexing of the joints

It was hard enough getting the one bolt cut. Once I saw that it was going to need to be repeated I put it all back together and decided to let a professional shop do the install (point of no return and all that). Jan 30th is the date. Disappointed? Absolutely! But I didn't want to mess something up beyond repair. Silver lining is I was able to get (5) header bolts out on passenger side and the studs all looked fantastic! **EDIT** I realized I have the VVT-i engine and this video is not for that engine - this is why I had different motor mount config - this vid is spot on if you have the first gen V8's

When you add an extension to a torque wrench you throw off the reading based on how long the extension is.

Thanks for the video.

[@EnigmaEngineering]

A wicked angle of approach can throw the torque off a lot too. A swivel connection at a severe angle might only be putting 50% of the torque into the plane perpendicular and concentric to the bolt, and 50% of the torque might be just bending the bolt. Torque wrench is nice for a sanity check (and humor) tho. Thank you for the comment; good luck on the installation!
