how do i get more power?

Enough of you people saying it's not worth it to modify your 4 cylinder truck for power. Not everyone has the money to just buy a V6. And even some of the people who do have the money to bump up to a beefier engine don't want to. It is fun to tinker around with your truck and try to squeeze hp out of it. I think just about everyone on this site is into customizing their trucks, otherwise you wouldn't be here. So what is the problem with working on your 4 banger. I have exactly the truck I want, and it just so happens I could not duplicate it in a 4.0 version without an engine swap...so that's why I do little mods here and there. My 2 cents.

Fuck.

 

haha i need a new clutch anyway so ill try lol and ya i guess i am forgetting its a truck, im just a teen wit a need for speed lol

 

But to answer the question, throw on a header, clean your K&N regulary, and do the above that the other guys suggested. Good Luck.

 

someone told me to drop it from 3rd to 2nd and floor it but i need somethin more specific lol

 

I don't think the 4 banger will spin the tires if you are going, say 30 mph in 3rd and drop it to 2nd. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This reminds me, I haven't done a burnout or donut or anything really since I had to swap the clutch.

 

yea now that i think about it its common sense especially with my big ass all terrains which are meant for grip and im tryin to break them loose with a 4 banger lol sorry tar tar moment guess ill start savin for a camaro

 

LoL Now your talking I wish I had one to replicate my dads old one...

Well actually, I love the 2000-2002 Camaro SS.

Straight sex on wheels.

 

I’ve never tried to modify a 4 cylinder but I had a friend who spent thousands and said it didn’t make any difference. Lesson learned and it didn’t cost me a dime. If I wanted more power I’d refrain from putting a single penny into my truck and save up for a V6.

 

thats exactly the car i want ive always wanted one

 

HAHAHA wow really?
guessing you dont know too much about them eh?

4cyl engines can destroy alot of the engines out there. ive even seen vids of a 4cyl dominating a lambo.
ecotec, vtec, boxer.. all 4cyls and are BAAAD news.

haha and you say 4cyls are slow..

 

i didn't say they CAN'T be fast, sure they can, with A LOT of money, turbo, nos, etc.
But were talking about a teenage kid with a normal 4 banger truck...

"there's no replacement for displacement" there's a reason people say that.

 

I'm pretty sure the '96s didn't have a 2.7L engine. They were smaller than that.

The 2.7L is the most powerful 4Cyl I've ever owned/ driven. I bought it for the fuel economy. I like to offroad and also like taking road trips. The 4x4 2.7L gives me the best of both.

When URD releases a Supercharger for my truck, I'll be getting one.

 

trust me dude ik my engine

 

I see.

But, it was the slightly less powerful 3RZ-FE

 

x2

 

BTW, I just thought I'd share that my 2.7L I4 gets better HP (159 vs 150) and the same torque and my brother's V6 ranger.

 

well ford just sucks. Tacoma FTW
