260hp fj

I know this is probably a stupid question and I know that the answer is probably gonna be "no" or "not worth it" but I still gotta ask it. Would it be possible to change our engines to Dual VVT-i? If it's possible what would it take?

 

FJ's always had more power then the tacomas even before dual VVT-i....to my knowledge

 

i drove a new FJ monday,and dont get me wrong,i liked it.but my 09 engine feels like it has alot more low end grunt than the FJ does....

 

yeah.......it must have lost something.cause its a 2011 with 1300 miles on it,and they traded it in at work for a CR-V......figure that

 

FJ's never had 236 hp they had 259 hp with single VVT-i

 

No they had the same motor but on 91 or 93 it made 239 ("required premium" it would run on 87), only 3 bhp more. Both the 4runner and taco would make the same. FYI this is what change from the 1st gen 1gr.

VVTi added to the exhaust cam
New cylinder heads with hydraulic lash adjusters and roller rockers
Cylinder block water jacket spacers are used
Oil filter changed to near the crank pulley and is a new cartridge type
New lighter crank shaft, 5 weight compared to 9 on the 1st gen
New lighter pistons that are hollowed (cast holes are in the bottom of the piston head)
Compression ratio changed to 10.5:1
ACIS valve deleted from the surge tank
larger throttle body
New air filter box out on the fender

 

same motor is obvious but on paper and toyota site they produce 259hp...

 

You must be talking about the 2nd gen 1grfe, not the 1st gen.

 

Ok your right I was mislead....

 

Alright so whos gonna be the first one to go to the junkyard and swap the heads and the ECU to gain the extra HP?

 

HAH. Maybe once I'm out of warranty and I find an FJ rolled over and abandoned in a canyon somewhere on a trail.....
