2uz-fe info?

[mole177]

I'm wondering if i came to the right forum...

i plan on picking up a 2006 4runner v8 4wd.

i notice this is a lex/toy v8 forum, but not much talk about 2uz's so far...

anyone here can help me out ?

TIA!

My friend have one and its like a Truck/Suv. Unlike Acura MDX its a Car/SUV type of feel. Other than that is a rugged SUV. Are you asking specifically the engine or the 4Runner itself?

Not sure what you want. What do you want to know about the 2uzfe?

i dont understand why there is not much of an aftermarket support... (well at the least that i have not found.)

ie- performance upgrades, suspension upgrades, etc.

well.. regardless of aftermarket suport or not, im used to the custom route.

I can only address the aftermarket support (or lack thereof) for the engine itself as I own a Tundra as opposed to a Forerunner. What I have found for the engine is as follows:

Headers (short and long)
Some cat-back exhaust
Some complete exhaust
TRD SuperCharger system
Centrifical Supercharger system
Fuel pumps
High flow air intakes
High flow stock and aftermarket air filters
Piggyback computers
Jet reprogram of ECU
Fuel Injectors
Alcohol injection
MSD ignition box
Nitrous Oxide
Turbocharger system
Aftermarket spark plugs


That's about all I can think of at the moment. Word of caution....be very careful and conservative if you are going to add any type of power booster to the stock 2uzfe.....it isn't made for it. Do a search for 'grenaded 4.7' in the 'Tundrasolutions' Tundra forum or in the V8 FI Registry all the way at the bottom under Wayne Ryther in this forum and you will see what I mean. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the replies.

I am interested in headers/ exhaust systems. (just snooping around.) can anyone point me in this direction?
