There's already a couple of threads about it. In short, no it's not a Supra unit. Early Toyotas use a VAFM which is very different from a MAF. The MAF I used was from a GM 3.1L V6. It's 76mm and breathes much better than the stock VAFM. It knocked 2 seconds from the 0-60 time.

Thank god I have the Camaro.
The 4runner is by far the slowest thing I've ever owned, I come home from driving the runner, get in the camaro which is a deep 11 sec car and I feel like John Force.

If I get home in time this Friday, I'm taking my truck to run Club Clash up at Bandimere. 262K mile 22RE, 5spd, with stock 4:10s and heavy 31's, plus 3" of lift. Should be in the mid 20's.

What is the point of posting time slips and dyno runs and the like trying to compare the 3.0 to the 3.4? I mean really, what are you trying to prove?
...the 3.4 is faster than the 3.0?
...has more horsepower or torque?
So FRIGGIN WHAT!?!?! We already know that the 3.4 is rated higher for HP and torque.
We don't need a mundane thread to tell us that.
All this thread purpose has is for bragging rights about the 'bestest'.
It serves no real purpose for people that only have the desire to get their truck running as inexpensively and as well as it can.
But what would be funny is a blown 22re or other engine posting slips that blow a 3.4 off the road....
All I can say is that if you don't have a useful reason to post, don't post... don't even start a thread.
This thread should be moved to off-topic / drama llama.

the point was, to see if it was worth paying the money for the 3.4 swap v/s doing some mods to the 3.0. im a sceptic. and i already know what the 3.4 was rated at being a master toyota tech and all.

and im not the only one here with these questions. there were several people on another thread and thats why i posted this one. so basically you are not only questioning my integrity but many other people on this forum.

and in the same tone I will ask-
How many people that have done the 3.4 swap from a 3.0 (or even 22r/e) have actually spent the money and time to do a before and after dyno run comparison or even paid to get a time slip from a drag strip before and after doing the swap, like what you asked for?
I'm not questioning your integrity- maybe you spent the money to justify your swap and are proud enough to display the fruits of your labor and have print-outs to back up your claims. That is not questioning your integrity. You did it and have proof.
Rather, I question your motivation for doing so here in this forum instead of in the 'off-topic' fora where such things are more appropriate.
Let us not also forget that the 3.4 wasn't an option for the trucks this forum is intended, thus technically making any discussion about the 3.4 performance off-topic.

I timed it approximately, once. I did 0-60 in about 13.5-14 seconds. Just a nudge slower than a Prius. With slicks, I could pull better
I'm guessing my motor is putting out near stock numbers, considering it runs well, and has headers and exhaust. Maybe I'm getting 120HP to the ground. WOW!!! Isn't that amazing.

Well, I took my rig to the dragstrip last night.
Specs:
262K mile 22RE
5spd
heavy 31's on 15" steelies
3" OME/1.5" BJ spacer lift
Weight: 3930 with me (170lbs), 1/4 tank of gas, and ~60lbs of tools
Track elevation: 5800 feet
Temp: 50* F
Best Time: 23.21 @ 57.3mph
It was very consistent over three runs, varying from 23.21 to 23.35, but I lost in the first round due to a crappy R/T. Not a bad bracket truck though, and I got lots of comments on it (and the NObama '08 sticker I put on).
