What have you done to your 4th Gen 4Runner today?

Oh yeah!! Easy 6psi will net huge benefits!!

Granted, i paid to have the work done, but my sending unit kicked the bucket and I replaced the fuel pump since they were dropping the tank anyways. Just figured why not.

 

I wish they made manifolds for the 1GR. Mine will have to be custom, but like you said even with low boost, it will help tremendously

Yeah i agree, might as well while youre in there. Dropping the tank isnt exactly the most pleasant experience

 

Agreed. It also came down to the fact that its my DD. My Fox Mustang currently has its tanked dropped as i'm replacing my sending unit and pump (to put a high flow pump in) and i can allow it to sit unused for weeks at a time. Makes a difference on how you approach things.

 

Agreed...for me, there's a x3 factor to all things I plan on doing for my thought's allotted time...x1 hour equals x3 hours in reality...annoying! I would purchase another used fuel pump basket complete with sending unit, make your pump swap, make sure all is buttoned up and ready and when you drop your tank, you just re-insert the pump basket in one quick instant and throw it back together...than sell the old one or toss it...me doing this made a lot less stress during the tank drop and re-vamp...it was worth the added $120 for me to do my tundra this way as it's my DD, too.

Yes, the fuel sending unit is a known issue on 4th Gens. may be helpful.

 

Thanks guys, this helps a ton!!

 

Could you please direct me to the source of the pan? Love this mod!

 

I bought mine off of ebay.. heres a thread with lots of info
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/a750-automatic-transmission-pan-w-dipstick-upgrade.750415/

And these are the part #s youre looking for

 

I forgot to post this here! Quick follow up to the initial install. The other day, I cut off the excess brackets and repurposed one so now it is hard mounted to the driver side cylinder head on the back side with a 10mm bolt. Bonus now without all the extra brackets is the tube can be removed from the top side. Test fit went well so now it’s time to paint it black and put it back

 

Man that little V6 rowdy What I did to my 4runner today was driving it for the first time in 8 months after a full engine build

Hahaha nice! Open exhaust is rad after a new engine rebuild! Nice work!!

 

The cams and everything make a difference lol but that cold start is way to loud lol

 

wish the would make a kit for the v6

 

Did you notice more bottom/mid/top end power with the cams?

Sounds rowdy for sure. A nice flow through muffler and a resonator would quiet it down a bit and clean up a lot of the rasp while accelerating

 

Where abouts are you located? I have a good friend in houston that’s going to help me with mine. He built one for my turbo 2.7 tacoma as well

 

It is what confused me. before asking i made my search and there were two different results as i can see here as well. On your pan in the picture the dipstick comes out on the left driver's side. On the diagram it comes on the left side. Same with ebay and various parts websites.
Just dont want to go on $2-300 expense and get wrong part

 

Yeah the diagram is probably wrong on which side it is on

heres an actual pic of the part number above with the dipstick on the driver side

 

Yes, thanks,
You see where my confusion comes from, even on your picture there is right side location. Anyways, ordered one for $120 and pennies, thank you. Do i have to change the strainer as well or the old one would fit?

 

Old one is fine, but if you've never swapped it out yet, it'd be worth the $20-$50 filter/strainer...you can get the precious Totota WS ATF too off eBay...best prices I've found!

 

Far easier to make or have made on the v6! I'd replace the rear muffler for a turbo and you wouldn't need an intercooler than...best muffler they make!

 

Old strainer fits as mentioned, but its a great time to replace it and only like 4 more bolts since youre already in there. I swapped mine with a new 4runner strainer, so no fitment issues either way you go

 

Does anyone know if there’s a way to turn off the auto unlocking of all the doors when you put the trans in park? Im guessing maybe in techstream?

 

4R goes up on the lift at 1pm tomorrow.
If I pass shop inspection, I’ll be test running 2025 SPC’s for this shop. This saves me from having to pay to get my failing bushings pressed out and replaced. All new UCA’s instead. Pray for me my cams aren’t seized tho.

New new design UCA’s bushings, balljoints. Looks like the balljoints are all black now, interesting.

May the force be with you! I hope SPC has totally changed their design, because I’ve read about folks having lots of problems with the ball joint quality.. For that reason I will be steering clear of them. How much lift do you have up front?

 

Thanks!
About 3”.
And this new looking design is hot off the floor and SPC is marketing it all in so I feel decently confident they believe is fixed.

 

I just bought the updated bushings and UBJs! I hear good things but I'm anxious!!

 

oh noice
we’re just along for the ride and will find out lol!

 

I did another LOF and greased the drivetrain. Something I noticed is my PS front suspension seemed nearly as tight as my DS, which makes me more certain, my clinking up front might be indeed the UBJ! My fingers are crossed!
