Very cool! Is this plate going to be produced for the public?

The buildup is taking place over on HybridZ.org. 7.4 Liters of forced induction power. That thing will be a thrill to drive.

The list so far (as to those who have spoken up): 1. Lextreme 2. 91_4x4runner 3. Fasteddie 4. ricksgrey89T 5. lexplay 6. R-Jay 7. 8. 9. 10.

Still waiting. I've passed up some good deals on T56's already. Do we have confirmation that this kit is going to be produced soon? I don't want to buy a T56 until I can get my hands on a kit.

I'm curious as well. Thats pretty impressive if it is "near" stock.

I'm not so sure about the valve noise... My truck (again, 1991) has 255K on it and is doing pretty well... You do have a good point with the REAR suspension on the 4Runners. The stock coil springs would sag over time. I had the issue myself. 150 bucks and a set of OME springs later, there is...

Stock for stock, I'd say that any 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Generation 4Runner would beat *most* any other SUV of similar characteristics. I've done some pretty stupid things with my 4Runner since I got it, but it has been more reliable than I ever thought it would be. With an oil change, I wouldn't...

I am really looking forward to this kit, but I need a timeframe as to when it will be completed. As states in this thread, some guys were making one almost over a year ago now. http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5403 Am I getting my hopes up?

It seems that the demand for their motors is growing quite a bit. :bigok: Hopefully their cheap initial cost will contribute to growing aftermarket support on a larger scale than it currently is.

You're right, they aren't the best for collisions, they are VERY underpowered (the 3VZ-E 3.0L) is the biggest turd Toyota has designed (IMHO). The 1GR-FE in the 2004-08+ 4Runners (4.0 V6) has some grunt though. Puts down 235hp stock. It gets decent fuel economy (my mom's gets 25MPG hwy) and...

I personally like the 4Runners. As my username says, I've got a 91 4Runner. In 1996, they converted to the 5VZ-E, a 3.4L DOHC 24-valve engine. It became a very popular swap for guys with the second generation 4Runners and can have over 300 horsepower with bolt-ons (TRD Supercharger, etc). They...

1993 - An advanced 24-valve, 4.5-litre six-cylinder petrol engine, 1FZ-FE was introduced. Wikipedia must have some issues with its F series engines page because this particular one doesn't exist.

I can't wait Big. Your project is very inspirational. We need more pics and video =D. Rock on man.

My biggest reason for wanting a T-56 is its drive ratio's. If I had a .62 or even a .5 OD ratio pushed by a 4 liter V8 in a 2500 lb sports car, I'd get some pretty good fuel economy. Past that, all I've got to do it drop a couple gears and I can be hauling A$$ again. Also, with my current...

You can put me on the waiting list for one of 'em as well. Will this be a full kit for doing the swap, or only the bellhousing? Thanks, Eric.

That's a fairly broad question... the amount of boost needed to generate a certain amount of power depends on tons of factors (altitude, temperature, etc). I'm no expert, but I can say that cooler air allows for better combustion, meaning that it would take less boost to generate more power...

I am somewhat impressed with the new LF-A concept. I still think it needs some changes overall to make it out of the concept stage. http://www.lexus.com/fcv/lf_a.html Have you guys seen the new Dodge Challenger? It looks pretty sweet in the "muscle car revival" sense...

Unless they hire the original designers/engineers of the Mercedes-Benz Unimog.... Then Toyota would put every other company to shame in the off-road department :love: . While on the topic, I don't know what idiot came up with the current FJ Cruiser design :261:.
