You inspire me man I got a 91 yota 3vze automatic and want to 3.4 swap is that possible with my stock trans? Bro your in flippy floppy’s doing this cannot wait for my truck to get its new engine
Im seriously looking into doing this but I have the 22RE with a built gear tcase so I would need the R150 and then Marlin's adapter for R150 to Rf1A tcase. What resources did you use to help with the wiring?
I have an 85 as well. Like many other vintage enthusiasts on here, I wouldn't trade mine in for a 21'. I am very fortunate to have a near mint 85. 2WD so I'm partially jealous of your 4x4 but here in Virginia, a bed full of sand does me fine in Inclement weather!
Build thread, pics, video! Wanting to do this forever. Got the 4runner, lookin for Lexus 400. It’s good to see the work of others yo - share the build!
How does that work? With the harness for the 3.4 and the Ecu. I am just assuming that the older Tacoma's don't have all those electrical sensors and could just cut them off.
I’m going from a 3.0 to 3.4 I’ve been doing tons of research I’m still a little scared but this video makes it seem like a breeze, and coming from a 3.0, it’ll be a bit easier I hope. Excluding the wiring is everything else sort of plug and play my worries are the small things that always get you.
Body lift no 1 ,use your 3.0 oil pan if it's a straight axle, & then wiring, & do an egr delete & headers you will b golden, just remember they are the same block the heads & intake flow better & r taller!
nice man! so THAT's how you did the motor mounts hahaha! i never noticed that when i was there... i cut off my 22re mounts, and moved them back, and that is why i need a cowl hood. you sunk the engine lower haha. good to see this thing up and running! it was pretty cool meeting you all in person as well.
We physically could not have the motor any higher, the transmission is stupid tight to top of the tunnel. Either way I'm very happy with the sunk in engine. Looks great in there.
Nippondenso 197400-0040 is the bottom number I can’t read the top except the last 5 which is 20020! If you still need which I’m sure you don’t figured I’d throw it out there!
They make full swap harness just fir this setup fir like 640$ from painless I do believe! With all sensors and module! I have a 96’ 3.4 mass air flow sensor in my hands from my 96’ taco I was lucky enough to have a buddy park in a ditch a cracked the block!
Awesome video. What about some references on how to wire up the 3.4. I have a 94 Pickup SAS’d with a blown 3.0. The only thing holding me back is the engine wiring. I’m sure I could figure it out due to the fact that I’m taking a auto electrical class in college rn and have access to the wiring diagrams. I don’t want to cough up $600 for a ORS wiring harness. Thanks in advance.
The wiring is straight forward. Pretty much need to give the ECM power, and connect ECM to COR to tell fuel pump to turn on, and BAM its ready to start. Then just gotta figure out how to get the gauges to work, pretty straight forward if you have the diagrams. As mentioned every swap is different, can't just say connect this wire to that wire and it works.
After this video I started pricing out the swap for my 95 3.0. It just got timing and all belts and stuff and runs great. Buuuuut ANY bit of uphill and this thing struggles bad. I could regear it and make it work..but all my friends have 3rd, 4th, and 5th gens and I just can’t keep up with them until we get on the trails.
Did you ever do the swap? I'm thinking about doing it to my 1995 3.0 as well but im hearing that i may need to get another ECU, move my oil pan for my 4X4 to work, and i just want to know if you somehow overcame those problems
@@Mpinecone no I haven’t. I’m going to try and kill the 3.0 in the next 20k miles or so lol and when that happens… I decided to go with a 2uz from a donor lexus ls400 my buddies grandma sold me.
Hi I have a dude could be possible to use the transmisión w56 from 22r to 3.4 engine, I wanna do the swap but I would like to add 4.70 reducction. I hope to be clear I learning english 😅
I had a 81 toy 22re almost 500,000 miles. Driving it home at 30 mph it threw the #3 rod threw the block. Was able to drive it the rest of the way home. The piston had turned sideways and tore everything up. Yes it still ran so you are right can't kill them!!!
@@TheColtz1 bell housing, pressure plate, slave cylinder all from summit if i remember right. motor mounts from ebay. and i used a painless wiring kit. ive heard of guys making theyre own wiring kit and saving money.. had to make hoses for gm to toyota power steering work..im still running ifs so i had to mod the oil pan. used electric fan.. quite a bit to it ..but its a huge difference
Howzit wondering how you would go about converting from a 22r to 3.4 currently doing mine now but haven’t got to installing yet the fuel pump is wat I’m really worried about would it be better to go with a internal or external? Thanks
Yeah everybody thinks 22re's Run Forever well if you don't do a timing chain swap is not going to run forever unless you do it 150,000 MI people think they run forever but if you don't do that they don't
22R’s have other shortcomings as well. Many have piston slap and suffer from excessive oil consumption and blowby. They can also have head gasket issues. And I have never seen a 22R that didn’t have a pitted deck surface. Oh, and let’s not forget then that top end tick that you often can’t get rid of no matter how hard you try to adjust the valves. Of course, much of the reason why people do swaps like this is that, even if your 22R does not have any of these issues, it’s just not the nicest motor to live with on a day-to-day basis. They’re slow. They guzzle gas, especially in relation to their meager power output. And they’re just generally rough and noisy. They are admittedly a product of an earlier era, and perhaps should be judged in that context. But the reality is that we can do better these days (and, indeed, since the mid 90s when these Tacoma motors debuted).
dude I need help! I am doing a 1985 5vz swap. I have a 2004 tacoma complete harness and a 2000 5vz 4runner ecm. I believe I won't be able to use it because it probably has the immobilizer. do the 1st tacoma 5vz have immobilizers? thanks
Wow. The v6 trans crossmember and the r150 just bolt right in place? How come some forums online say u need to move the trans 4” forward etc and it’s not bolt on? Is it just different between factory solid axle and ifs frame?
@@DirtGarage do you remember anything of what you did to make that work like did you just use the engine harness from the 3.4 and then the 22re dash harness?
Going to do this swap as soon as I get a good parts truck, it’s time to move up the displacement ladder. Going to do the needed internal mods to my tcase so I can keep the gear driven box.
I literally have every part for this except the adapter from r150f to old style toyota tcases. Swapping a 04 tacoma drive train and wriring into my 85 4runner. So glad to see a video like this
Very nice! The older T-Cases are nice. But this truck did not have duals or even a 4.7, so not losing much by using the 3.0 t-case. We did keep the old case, just in case he wants to go duals in future.
I've got a 95 with 5vz swap and manual swap. Do you have any info on getting the reverse lights working? I've been trying to search around for good direction, but with little luck.
@@DirtGarage yea thats true, over here in straya we have diesels everywhere and mine used to do trails that patrols would struggle at, and the funny thing was i never had to put power down to turn the tyres when i clutch it
@@DirtGarage could always buy a 2.8 for 2500 AUD and then ship it idk how.much that would be but yea then again your gonna need alot more than just an engine to convert to diesel
@sam timo On the other hand, you can get a 5VZ at your local pull-a-part for $300. And you DON’T have to pay shipping. Also, since virtually every first gen Taco 4x4 and 4Runner had this engine (almost NOBODY wanted these with a four, which is why the 3RZ is so rare), they are EVERYWHERE.
@Dirt Garage Any idea how difficult this swap is in a 2WD? It seems like everything I have seen is on 4WD. Nobody really seems to do 2WD. Is a 2WD swap just too difficult?
Here in australia the easiest source for a 5vz is a vzj95 prado. The only very annoying thing is... from first year production onwards they ALL had immobilizer systems integral to the ecu. So to do a 5vz swap here down under you need the key, key reader ring, amplifier and security ecu from the donor car... And not to mention a whole lot of patience!
are you guys allowed to do diesel swaps? You guys got a lot of those in LCs etc, donors are nearly impossible to find in Canada unles you go TDI, and diesel fuel costs bit more offsetting the better mpg
@@JMunn55 yea we do have alot of the diesle motors. The only difficulty there is the swap of the fuel pump and sourcing the lift pump and other items. Aswell as that i wouldnt be sure how easy it is to hook up the tacho.
@@SMVB-cl6oc yeah it's quite the process the swap, so I'm hoping the lower mileage 22RE replacement will last 10 years+, the 3RZ swap seemed too much for me, not worth the trouble for 35 hp, that said I've had had three 3RZs and everything is backward, I love em but for that amount of work, I'd rather do a full electric conversion
I still have mine never gonna sell it or anything else if the engine goes out im gonna rebuild it cuz I haven't had a truck like my t100 i love it is perfect for me
Not even close 🤣 22res are old, not powerful and inefficient. Seen many of dead 22res, most trucks have them swapped out for RZs or 5VZ now. At the end of the day it's a 30+ year old motor, and your lucky if it's still strong. And I'd argue the 3.4 is the best motor toyota ever made.
@@DirtGarage no i get it, you purposefully blew a hole in the side of an engine block that is becoming harder to find for restoration for the sole purpose of content. that is the fact my dude.
This is awesome to know! I want to mate a w56 to my 3RZ-FE and wasn’t sure if I’d need some sort or adapter plate to do so.... looks like a straight swap?
@@DirtGarage Im rebuilding my top end of my 3.0 but it needed piston rings but I don't have the skill to do that I'm pretty sure I already fuckered it up anyway Soo I'll probably be getting that 3.4 soon
@@DirtGarage lmao ok bud, what you’ve proved doesn’t really matter, stats say it’s one of the best motors out there, especially bc it was built in Japan
@Craig D Not true! Engine swaps are legal in California so long as the engine is newer than the vehicle you are swapping it into (true of ANY 22RE to 5VZ swap) and you use all 5VZ emissions gear. This includes all sensors, the ECU, cat, etc.
You guys made it look way too easy. Makes me want to swap my 22R now in my 84'. If only it didn't run like a dream lol.
Same. My 22re 2nd gen 4runner is so rare, it would be a waste to swap until the engine dies
I mean it really wasn't necessarily difficult. That is what I said about my 3.0 on my truck, thing would not die, so I swapped it anyways!
@@DirtGarage The fear of everyone... the wiring... could you give more info on the wiring?

22R’s have other shortcomings as well. Many have piston slap and suffer from excessive oil consumption and blowby. They can also have head gasket issues. And I have never seen a 22R that didn’t have a pitted deck surface. Oh, and let’s not forget then that top end tick that you often can’t get rid of no matter how hard you try to adjust the valves.

congratulations, you just destroyed one of the best toyota engines ever made to drop in a 3.4
Not even close 🤣 22res are old, not powerful and inefficient. Seen many of dead 22res, most trucks have them swapped out for RZs or 5VZ now. At the end of the day it's a 30+ year old motor, and your lucky if it's still strong. And I'd argue the 3.4 is the best motor toyota ever made.
@@DirtGarage 🤣.....what ever you want to say to make your self feel correct.......there is a reason 22r and 22re motors are legendary.
@mofuncpl facts are facts my dude. There is a reason so many rigs are 3.4 and 3rz swapped now. Believe it or not, toyota made many great motors.
@@DirtGarage no i get it, you purposefully blew a hole in the side of an engine block that is becoming harder to find for restoration for the sole purpose of content. that is the fact my dude.
@@mofuncpl We did it because it was fun. And I'd do it again
This is awesome to know! I want to mate a w56 to my 3RZ-FE and wasn’t sure if I’d need some sort or adapter plate to do so.... looks like a straight swap?
Typically, you use a W59 bellhousing to mate the RZ engines to a 22R transmission.
Just recently discovered the channel. I'm an avid Story till now watcher. Happy to be able to support you guys as well! Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Thank you!
What did you do for fuel lines?
Thinking about doing this with my 91 3.0 in the future but that's a ways away
Way easier to go 3.0 to 3.4! Worth while swap!
@@DirtGarage Im rebuilding my top end of my 3.0 but it needed piston rings but I don't have the skill to do that I'm pretty sure I already fuckered it up anyway Soo I'll probably be getting that 3.4 soon
how much harder do you think it would to do on a 1980?
Not any harder really.
What manual transmission did you use for the swap?
Probably something out of a Tacoma
what ecu did you use
Gearbox manual 5 speed
R150F? R151F?
Yes, 5 speed R150
What moron gets rid of the 22Re for a V6? 😂😂😂 only other motor is swap it with is 2JZ or 1JZ #straightsixordie
Not a moron. 22RE is trash.
@@DirtGarage prove it! My dad and I just got his running again after sitting outside for 14 years
@@grantbagwell8092 Nice! We have proven it, and have had many 22res quit, 3rz and 5vz are just better. Better on fuel, smoother, and more reliable.
@@DirtGarage lmao ok bud, what you’ve proved doesn’t really matter, stats say it’s one of the best motors out there, especially bc it was built in Japan
@@grantbagwell8092 So are the 5vz and 3rz.. 22res are old and dated now, toyota has made just as good motors that are slightly newer
Don’t swap out a 22 re…. Swap out a 3vze.
Swap out either or. You won't convince me the 22re is any better than a 3vz 😅
@@DirtGarage are you not a fan of the 22re? I thought they were un breakable.
@@ridebc153 I've seen more dead 22REs than I ha e 3.0s. At the end of the day they are all old motors and a 3.4 is a worth while upgrade.
@@DirtGarage was it hard, want to engine swap my landcrusier?
Nice
How would i go about swapping a 3.0 to a 22r
I would not bother with the 3.0, but it's essentially the same as the 3.4 shown in this video. Just don't have to move the 3.0 stuff onto the 3.4
Is it possible to still throw in ac in there ?
Yup. I'm going to do this on my personal truck.
Is this legal for California bullcrap emission laws
No
@Craig D Not true! Engine swaps are legal in California so long as the engine is newer than the vehicle you are swapping it into (true of ANY 22RE to 5VZ swap) and you use all 5VZ emissions gear. This includes all sensors, the ECU, cat, etc.
What kind of trans you using?
R150, from a factory 3.0 truck.
This is awesome man! New Sub right here.
Awesome, thank you!
That engine is real good long lasting & strong.
Yes, same engine I have in my personal truck.
What’s a head block
I dont know?
This is awesome
Thanks!
