TOYOTA 3.4 SWAP GUIDE | WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU SWAP 

I've sold this pickup, this was a amazing build and rig, I hope this video has helped anyone doing their 3.4 swap.

It haven’t ever being explained in this perfect way Thank you

Good to see it back up and running. Congrats on a successful swap!

Thanks, for all of the work documenting this. I downloaded your cheat sheet. Looking forward to doing this to my 94 DLX.

Excellent video. Glad I found it before I was done with my swap. I will use a lot of these informations thank you very much taking the time to explain everything.

Hey Nu, I tried to download your guide but the link is broken. I seen you said you you were going to update it 3 months ago so I was wondering if you got around to it yet? love your content very thorough! thank you!

I like how you kept the factory air cleaner and made it look oem. Great work.

Great info here. I have an 89 single cab 3.0 5sp and i got a auto 3.4 with the full engine harness auto ecu and motor for $150 it has 408k km but i just got it torn down to do a full rebuild before i put it in my truck. Ive also heard i can use my auto ecu but i may get a check engine light

Very thorough…thank you for making this video.

Best video about 3.4 swap. Thanks

Nice job on a descriptive swap. Hope to do this swap one day

I’m putting brand new 3.0 in my 2nd gen next week

Yes it's good to have a 3.4 5 vzfe engine & use NGK IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGS to go with these 3.4v6 engines & they go Extremely Excellent with these 3.4v6 engines & I'm still running my 1996 Toyota Hilux Surf 3.4v6 & with the NGK Iridium Spark plugs since 119,000 Kilometers & now it's done 265,000 Ks & still the same NGK Iridium Spark plugs & these are Brilliant & when I last time I checked the NGK Iridium Spark Plugs it had done 180,000 Kilometers & gave those Spark plugs a wipe with a clean rag & before I screwed the NGK Iridium Spark Plugs back in I added PBC Copper Coat Grease on the Threads of the Plugs & the Spark Plugs were screwed up just nipped up tight & I will never torque these NGK Iridium Spark Plugs up tight & just nipped up Tight & I never tightened up spark plugs up tight & I worked on my wife's PT Cruiser & when checked the Spark Plugs & my said to me the mechanics that did the cambelt complete kit & they put the good Spark plugs in the engine & those plugs were put in awhile ago & I already replaced the coil & leads as they come complete & the engine still had a miss in the engine & when I went to take the Spark plugs out I couldn't undo the Spark Plugs & I don't what Fucken Screwed those Spark Plugs I ended up using a Bloody 1/2 inch Drive power bar with a 1/2 to 3/8s adapter & I was pulling really hard on the power bar just to undo the Spark Plugs & I that I was going to break the Spark Plugs in the cylinder head & Bloody Fucken Wanker that Tightened up these Spark Plugs & I finally managed to undo them they don't have to that Fucken Tight & when I got those Spark plugs out & they were Bloody Champion Iridium Spark plugs & they had Black rings around the white Chinas on all the Spark Plugs & I threw them away Fuck Champion Plugs & they are Shit & I went out & got NGK IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGS & before I put those NGK Iridium Spark Plugs into the cylinder head I put PBC Copper Coat Grease on the Threads of the Spark Plugs & those NGK Iridium Spark Plugs were only nipped up tight & after everything was put back together & I started up the engine & let warm up for awhile & then took the PT Cruiser for a Test Drive what a Bloody Big Difference & no miss in the engine & those NGK Iridium Spark Plugs are still in the PT Cruiser Brilliant Quality Spark Plugs & I'm glad that you did do the SWAP from the 3.0 to the 3.4v6 & I can't understand why the 3.4V6 engine sits higher than the 3.0 V6 engine are they correct 3.4v6 5vzfe engine mounts basically the Toyota is the same shape as my 1996 Toyota Hilux Surf & the only difference is you have a Manual Transmission & I have a 4 speed over drive Automatic Transmission & that is the only difference maybe the Manual Transmission could be sitting higher than the Automatic Transmission as it shouldn't touching the bonnet when close it & I could mount a Supercharger on my 3.4 V6 engine & it will still clear the bonnet as the 1996 Toyota Tacoma 3.4v6 5vzfe engine in the USA some of them are running Superchargers on their 3.4v6 engines & I live in New Zealand my Toyota Hilux Surf 3.4v6 is Right Hand Drive & it is a real shame that we didn't have the latest Tacome here in New Zealand made into right hand drive as they are really nice vehicles & all the latest Toyota Hilux utes all 2.8 turbo diesel engines Bloody Shame even the Tundra utes in the USA are buy far better than the lastest utes & SUVs here in New Zealand & even my 3.4V6 5vzfe engine keeps up with the lastest modern Vehicles here in New Zealand & I lot of times these late model vehicles try to take me on in my 1996 Toyota Hilux Surf & there a lot of times I blow these late model Diesel Turbo Charged utes away big Time & they get pissed off with me & a few years I had a Range Rover 3.5 V8 he gunned it really & do you know what I passed & & blew him well away & left him to the weeds & he would have pissed him right off if he knew that I on had a standard 3.4 V6 under my bonnet & I was still not try when I over took that Range Rover 3.5 V8 & he was really trying to beat me but he fell in Big Time & even a Ford Ranger 3.2 Turbo Charged Diesel & we were at set of lights going onto Motorway & when those lights changed the guy in the Ford Ranger all you could hear his motor revving tl buggery & when those lights Changed I was gone left him for dust & when I got into the middle lane on the motorway & I got caught in traffic awhile later the guy in the Ford Ranger finally went pass me & the look on his face he wasn't a Happy Chappy & again I still wasn't trying & you could see that he was pissed off a 3.2 Turbo Charged Diesel Engine my 1996 Toyota Hilux Surf 3.4v6 5vzfe engine blew his Ford Ranger away big time & this Toyota Hilux Surf 3.4v6 5vzfe engine still goes well & so Sir Happy motoring with your 3.4V6 5vzfe engine & with these 3.4 V6 engines I have a way when I do an oil & filter change I can get the whole 6 litres of the old oil out of the 3.4 V6 engine & put back in New 6 Litres oil into the 3.4 V6 engine Kind Regards Peter & as I say again I'm still running the HGK IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGS & the 3.4V6 Engine still doesn't miss a beat & it is still a strong motor & it doesn't smoke either & the Toyota Highlander 3.5V6 & my son owns it & they are quite a powerful engine to & it is a 2017 model but the only thing is it is a East West Engine & it is AWD & lot harder to work on as you have to take whole intake off to change the rear Spark Plugs as if it a North South Engine it would have made it a hell of a lot easier changing the Spark Plugs with NGK Iridium Spark Plugs instead of Denso Spark Plugs that are in the 3.5 V6 as I had taken the 3 front Denso Plugs out to check them you just can't go wrong HGK Iridium Spark Plugs & it is a shame that the 2017 Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 engine is a East West Engine it just makes it a little bit harder to the intake off to get at the back 3 Spark Plugs out to replace them oh well that's life I suppose

Sweet ride. I love this truck. I got a knock in my 89 dlx 3.0 auto trans I live in California that has smog I found a 3.4 with harness and ECU and exhaust. Would your pdx work for my swap? I lack resources but might go that route. Thanks for the inspiration.

Who would you recommend SAS my 1st gen tacoma?

Great video bro! How about the power steering for the 3.4? Do I re use some things from the 3.0?

Excellent video! So in your opinion, is the overall difference and benefit you get from the 3.4 worth the time and expense you incurred?

Hello I like this video a lot and I have a question were can I buy the harness convention because I have a 1993 Toyota 4 runner and I am putting it a engine 3.4

I have a 1993 toy pickup 4x4 22 re I know the engine mounts will relocate and I needed a 150 trans what else do I need to replace thanks you are great on

🤙🙏 on the clutch info

😮 Great video..thank you😅

Time 21:48 you said to cut 2 feet of pigtail on those plugs. Which side did you cut? 2 feet on the female or the male side?

Were did you buy the wiring harness adapter? I'm doing swap my toyota 4runner 1994 to 3.4 can you tell me ?

Did you do a body lift? I read somewhere that it's possible to swap without a body lift but fitment is PITA and hood clearance is an issue.

If you deleted the ADD for your from diff actuator, how do you activate it? What exactly is involve to delete it? Did you install manual lockers?

so is that downpipe from a 3.4 application? I'm buying a crossover but I'm debating if I should have everything after crossover done by an exhaust shop or if i should buy the tacoma downpipe and modify it. i dont know how to weld or anything but I know a metal place that does.. however they would be operating under my instruction and im not really comfortable with that

Another thing, donyou recall what where those molded floor mats (kinda looks weathertech but I tought they didnt make for this model)

are you happy with those aftermarket led headlights?

Can you please share the list in a word or spread sheet document with the parts numbers? Thanks for the info

Question, at 20:48, what is the button on the far left right below the vent? I bought a 4 runner last year and I don't know what that button does. It has no sign on it, just plain black.

A little late but have you gotten around to the evap box delete? The previous owner of my 3.4 Tacoma messed with the evap box quite a bit. Seems to be missing some critical components / lines already. Did you do this delete and if so, did it have any real effect on mileage? Thanks

I’m doing this swap to a 1989 extra cab 2wd automatic. I have a 3.4 with 2wd automatic tranny. I want to use the 3.4 and 3.4 automatic tranny. Any suggestions?

at 22:54 what benefits come from having a cold air intake instead??

So I have an auto 3.0 94 and I want to put a 3.4 in it. U recommend switch to manual and 3.4? Or just keep it auto?

have a 1936 dodge truck I have a 3400 with 120 ml you think I can do the swap if I get instructions from you I have every thing to do the swap have a whole truck you think you can help

Heyyy this is kind of long shot but I bought a 3.4 swapped '90 pickup and I'm having a lot of trouble finding the correct dipstick. I don't have much option in the way of contacting the people who did the swap. The dipstick is in front of the truck I've seen some of them that have to have a new hole drilled in the side. The stick that came with it has been chopped off a lil to fit and it will show a tiny bit of oil only when perfectly full, so I am able to know if it's full full but it's not ideal. I feel out of options so I'm throwing paint seeing if someone online has a thought. Can't seem to find a forum addressing this. Thanks!

I may have missed it, but approximately how long did this take you?

Do you know what your total cost for parts on this project minus the donor vehicle?

I have a 95 4x4 auto I got a 2001 non 4x4 auto will the trans mount

Is this swap possible with automatic transmission? My 1991 4runner has 3vze with auto transmission, but all the swaps on RU-vid have manual transmission.

Hey where did you get the clutch hose

Who is the coolest nutty euheuheuh

The NGK's wires suck. The fit like crap. At my shop we just install Toyota OE wires. They come with all the clips and BS, fit correctly and it's like 20-25 bucks more.

The File i can’t dowloaded

Great Video, Thanks! The only thing I might add is to be careful where you get your engine. There are scammers claiming to have quality used JDM Inspected and Tested motors. Here's my experience with that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bz1lks6rwhQ.html The Juicy parts start around the middle of the video.
