Just want to know if the 3.4L v-6 in the 2001 4-runner is free reving?

What's a free-revving motor?

 

[TRDV6Corolla]

if you mean free-wheeling, as in the valves will not hit the pistons if the t-belt breaks, then yes, it is a free-wheeler.

 

[PaulWalker]

you mean non-interference engine

 

[Mr. Wob]

damn civil rights engines.

 

[Thermactor]

no, it charges you a nickel for every rpm over 2500

 

[SupaSupraSE]

no, it charges you a nickel for every rpm over 2500

Inflation caused a rise to .07 on the new models actually

 

[ChronoJ1]

LOL you guys are useless :lol:

 

[Khader K.]

What's the horsepower and tourqe output of this engine?

I just dumped my 97 and got an 02 and I'd like to know.

The 3.4 is pretty weak to be honest. It's solid and won't let you down but it's no speed demon.

My 4.0 however is a beast in my '05 Tacoma.

Thanks guys, I did mean non-interfearance motor.

Depends what it's in actually. Loaded down in a 4Runner, and/or with an auto trans it is definetly nothing special.

However, in my 5 speed 98 Taco, it's actually quicker than I'd remembered and definetly has enough jam to get you around without troubles. I want to run it against a 4L and see how the old girl stacks up

My 2000 automatic 4R, however, was perdy shlow.

Oh and ya....non-interferance for sure.

My friend has an '00 3.4 with the TRD Supercharger. It will spin the tires when u stomp it rolling at 10 mph. That engine has MUCH potential.

He delivers pizza in it.

5VZ-FZE now

Definetly.....I stole a lifted 2001 4x4 5spd for a spin.....it had the TRD S/C, full exhaust, headers, FIPK type box, centerforce clutch, etc, and that truck went like a raped ape even on 33" tires.

There is a shop about 30 miles east of me, F2uning is the name, and they specialize in high-hp 3.4L V6 Taco's and 4runners. They just built a 1000whp 4runner last year and have a few 800hp, 600hp, and 400hp 4runners and Tacoma's under their belt!

The stock 3.4 is a good starting point for some serious modifying. 4 bolt mains, iron block, 4 cams... Toyota doesn't mess around when they develop truck engines.

 

[Jim Swantko]

Just wait until TRD releases the S/C for the 1GRFE.

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

Just wait until TRD releases the S/C for the 1GRFE.

They need to start mass producing the crap out of those and start sending them to the U.S.! I want to drop that engine in something!!!

The 3.4 Tacos are faster than the 4.0 Tacos...I should know I own both.

How do you figure?

"Tacoma's 4-cyl engines are acceptable for light-duty work, but the V6 is the best choice for any model. Test 2WD V6/automatic PreRunner Double Cab did 0-60 mph in a respectable 9.7 sec."

"0-60 7.6 Seconds"

And that's comparing the heavier 4WD '06 to the 2WD old truck. You may need to get your G-tech out and do a re-test.
