Im looking for some information on the 3RZ-FE. This is the engine in the Tc drag car but is generally found in your average Toyota Tacoma. Any information is usefull information!!

 

3RZFE

150hp@4800

177ft-lb@4000

4 cylinder

2693cc

Electronic Fuel Injection

9.5:1 compression

95 bore / 95 stroke

 

Has anyone seen or heard of this being swaped into a Tc?(OTHER THAN THE DRAG TC)

 

i haven't.

ask rado

 

matty where did you get his info from.


cuz i went to toyta myself and saw the inline-4 engine for the tacoma and i remember i the engien code started with a
"2" and not a 3.

unless we are talkin about the older model...

 

1996-present .... 3rz-fe is the 4 cylinder used
1996-present .... 5vz-fe is the 6 cylinder used


www.google.com

 

I guess you guys can see were I am going with this.(a 3RZ-FE swap) Just doing research to get some ideas and info. This could potentially be fun and very unique project!!!!

 

unique but honestly man the 2az-fe is a mother-f'er of an engine.

proven to be very strong and responsive to mods. if you put your energy/$ into hooking up your current engine, you'd be very rewarded.

 

its not the engine

i thought about this for the DRIVETRAN! RWD

 

Interesting...someone's got some money to burn I figure.

 

..... find an empty tC chassis and figure out where you're going to put the driveshaft and what you're going to do with the rear suspension... last i remember they're leaf springs on the trucks.

 

I would rather have a 2jz motor in the tc instead of the 2az

 

lol

yeah.. so you could race from a roll

 

 

Yeah, you're not really gaining a ton with that swap. Just build what you have. That engine may be a little more "heavy duty", but you arent attempting to build a 1000 HP car.

Now, for the RWD, considering the larger cost of making it work on the tC, you would probably be just as well off cost-wise finding a RWD tranny to mate up to the 2aZ with some modification rather than swapping engine and all. The suspension should not be a terrible issue if you find a rear end that will work. But there will be a ton of cutting/welding to do to make it all happen. It would be a kick a$$ car though if someone had the money to dump in making it RWD.

 

It would be an expensive project!!! Rear wheel drive Tc would be killer but that seems to be something toyota leaves up to lexus.

 

not sure the engine would fit when set at 90 degrees of what it is now. but i don't believe there is a rwd tranny that would fit.

 

If you want a RWD tC like car, just sell your car for an IS300 and mod it out. Youll probably end up saving money in the end and overall the car would still be better. Seems to me the gains arent woth it but its your idea...not mine.

 

insurance on lexus cars is ridiculous

 

Oh...well thats the dealbreaker then.

Cuz im sure an engine swapped RWD coverted tC would be easy to insure
