Well it is getting close to time to make a decision on the next power plant for the Runner It has a 3.0L with a turbo stuffed on top this thing makes great power and a ton of fun to wined up. But, something is very, very, wrong as from 1500 to 2500 RPMs it sounds like a bad Sewing Machine. And if you leave your right foot on the floor for 3 to 5 minutes it will start dogging out and then dies right out. I don't know if this is do to the motor or the turbo setup Either way the motor needs to go !!! the question is do I


1 dump $2000 into one of these

and put the turbo back on or

2 do a 3.4L swap

2A will a stock 3.4L give me the power the 3.0L with a turbo does???

2B as far as I can tell a swap will run me around $1000 for the motor and around $1500 for other stuff form ORS, is this what you guys are experiencing also???

[roll-bar Bob]

Anyone

no thoughts!!!

Don't know about toyotas but plug and play is historically the way to go if you want it done soon. Custom swaps always turn into a year or two or 5 project around here lol.
