TACUNDRA - 5.7L 3URFE swapped 2nd gen project

I like your use of the Tacundra word. The 4.7 in the first gen I did will be a little less impressive next to the Tacundra 2.0 you will be doing, LOL! I also wanted to do this swap, but I haven't got a 5.7 yet. Looks like we will watch you first and see how it goes. I know that you will be successful. It is a matter of what will it take.

 

When I watched the video, the plug on the firewall that had been torn apart, looked as though some of the wires had been pulled from the plug. Maybe they are not yet connected.

 

Sub'd

 

If you pull this off that will be amazing.

 

i watched your updated video last night since Im subbed to you on youtube. Great vid.

Have you since been able to get it started? Were the issues caused by the fuel being sent?

 

Try disconnecting the sending fuel line either at the tank and or engine bay. Then crank and see if any fuel comes out.

 

And, we told you the best part of the videos...you forgot that. The girl.

 

I haven't had time to work on it since that video. I have way too much going on. smh

 

Hey guys. I know you're all eager for the 5.7 swap, but check out my 1st gen in this new video while you wait!

I've got an update video for the Tacundra swap. Learned about inertia switches and Toyota's version called a "circuit opening relay". I bypassed that to make it run, but now I found a new problem. Nothing I can't handle - just part of the process of buying a wrecked donor truck. Video premiers at 5:30. https://youtu.be/uFYI-0KG7qQ

 

nice man! I'm still sitting back waiting to see how the whole thing turns out....

 

so awesome, looking forward to watching your journey of the swap.

 

That was a good diagnostic find with the cam sensors wires.

 

Why don’t you put the wires back in the plug and test it?

 

Where and when is truck nationals???

 

So cool getting to watch this progress in real time.

 

Would consider a road trip with the family for that one. Lot of TW members attend?

 

Nice, wires pulled apart at the firewall. I would love to be there. I could give you a hand. I probably would not leave the garage though. You would have to remove me with Bertha and a restraining order, LOL. I just learned some lessons my self with the vvti cam sprockets on the 4.0. As it turns out the 03-04 toyota 4runner had a different design than 05 and up. It took more than a week for me to catch it.

 

Anybody heard from him lately?

 

I suspect that after you shoehorn a V8 into your Tacoma you forget about your friends/responsibilities for a while due to an erection lasting for more than four hours.







/still no V8 in my Tacoma...
