Yes, I was referencing the 2TR-FE, but like I said I would never seriously try to put 'er in a T4wd. I was just brainstorming big power rear drive 4 cylinder motors. The 4 liter 'coma is a great engine too, but why fiddle-faddle with that when the 8.4L 600hp Viper engine is available?tercel4wdrules wrote:Are you talking about the current generation Tacomas with the 2TR-FE 159 hp DOHC engines? I wonder if that engine will even fit, but it would be a lot of fun. I've driven a few of these, but this engine pales in comparison with the much larger and powerful 4.0L V6 engine in the Tacomas.
I haven't had a chance to check my local yards yet for alts, but a newer Corolla unit shouldn't be too hard to come by. I may just swap the (internal) voltage regulator since that is prolly the only prob with my current alt. Bearings are OK. There are a coupla geezer rebuilders local, but that's a last option.
