Wow...
Why would you make a comment like that? It is not necessary, and please do not refer to me like that.


Richard,
When I was searching, it was a REALLY hard find. Most junk yards and dealers couldnt fint it at all.
The one that did wanted $2700 for a long block only with 7K miles.
That was shipping from NC...

i believe that is correct but it wont have the right tranny

 

[DOGSTOY06]

chill big boy just plain ole sarcasm! :motz: :bird: :bird:

When I was looking for my motor, I was told it is a different 4.0 , not sure tho

 

[trd_sport]

Yeah, I didn't know about the trans matching up right. The different motor thing xrobber may be the vvti addition. I'm going to look into this now. Heck the v6 tundras use a 1gr-fe w/vvti right? Just thinking it may be easier to find if you have more options other than having to get one from a Tacoma

 

[DOGSTOY06]

when i bought my x think i remember the salesman saying it was same as the tundra engine but different from normal tacoma:top:

 

[morcheez]

well i was going by looks on the 4runner engine ...test drove one a week ago and under the hood looks just like my truck ...it was an 07 and im assuming all with the body are the same

 

[DOGSTOY06]

Only sure fire way is get the engine serial numbers and check bettween them.:top:

Cut and paste from wikipedia so I don't know the accuracy of this, but if it's true you should be able to mate a 6spd manual to it.

The 1GR-FE is the 4.0L version. Bore is 94 mm and stroke is 95 mm. Output is 236 hp (183 kW) at 5200 rpm with 266 lb-ft (382 Nm) of torque at 4000 rpm on 87 octane, and 239 hp at 5200 rpm with 278 lb-ft at 3700 rpm on 91 octane. This engine features Toyota's single VVT-i, variable valve timing, system and a compression ratio of 10.0:1. Inside, the 1GR uses a taper-squish combustion chamber design with matching pistons to improve anti-knocking and engine performance, while also improving intake and fuel efficiency. Toyota adopted a siamese-type intake port, which reduces the surface area of the port walls and prevents fuel from adhering to such walls. This engine has special cast-iron cylinder liners cast into the block, which are a spiny type to improve adhesion between the liner and cylinder block. With these special thin liners it is impossible to bore the block. In the event of cylinder wall damage (scoring, deep protrusions, etc), the entire cylinder block must be replaced. For increased block rigidity, the 1GR also receives a high temperature plastic insulator/protector, which fills the empty space between the outer portion of the cylinders and block material common to open deck engines. For increased cooling efficiency, the 1GR employs water passages between the bores of the engine. There are such 2 passages for each bank for a total of 4. This reduces cylinder hot-spotting and keeps combustion chamber temperatures more uniform.
Applications:

• 2003 Toyota 4Runner
• 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser (Europe)
• 2005 Toyota Tacoma
• 2005 Toyota Tundra
• 2005 Toyota Fortuner (Middle East)
• 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

Thoughts????

 

[XRobber]

Very Very Very wierd...
For some reason they told me I could not use the 1gr out of an 03 - they said it is different-
Nice find though!

:hmmmm2: :dontknow:

I'm still wondering if it really is "IMPOSSIBLE TO BORE"? I have to buy a new block? so i won't be able to build my engine up if/when I blow it?:motz: :argh: :stupido2: :questionmark:

Yeah, the 4.0 1GR-FE is not to be bored and if the bore is out of specs. it will have to be replaced. Standard specs. 94.000 to 94.012 MM
Max spec. 94.132 MM
These are cylinder out of round specs. which are checked at 4 points up and down the cylinder walls.
