    Interesting website, I'll bookmark that.
    Thank you.

    Yeah especially 4wd Tacomas, it's like pulling teeth to find them and rarely do you see them driving the roads. Pre Runners are sure abundant around here

    Correct, unless he meant 99 instead of 09'. That would be the 2TR, I would rather have a 2RZ over either of those.

    Its a "square" motor, with short rods, the 3RZ is somewhat of a stroker motor and needs balancing shafts to reduce vibration (2RZ does not need this)
    The reason is because the 2RZ in stock form (with an MLS Gasket and head studs) with the proper fuel management in STOCK FORM can handle 18psi of boost, I did it for over a year without a single issue, built the motor and was pushing 28 psi and the wastegate stuck and overboosted the motor and shit went downhill fast!

    The V8 is Mo-betta!! Its nice to have 330hp as a starting point! :D
    You would have to make 15+psi to do that in the 2RZ and the torque will still not compare.

    Good to know. Looks like I just need head studs and gasket in my future. 300hp would be more than enough for my sketchy truck. Don't think the rest of the truck can handle more.

    Don't you just screw it into the factory holes under the gutter strips? Should be a pretty simple DIY job I would think.

    There is a lot on the corner of 70th and El Cajon that ALWAYS has 10 or more Tacomas on the lot. Usually TRD's, Access or 4-doors as well as 2x4's and 4x4's.
