I do too!
The 3RZ-FE is a great little engine!
Do you have photos of your rig?'97 RZJ90 GX 3RZ-FE 2.7 -
yes in the intro post
I was actaully quite suprised how the 4cyl goes.Comment

Yes I have a 2.7. Good fuel consumption, but the diesel would be better offroad. I find I don't have enough low down torque when offroad. I have to have the revs up even when offroad.Comment

power
havent noticed really, its got way more than the lifted subaru i came out of before the prado.
I wouldnt say fuel consumption is fantastic, but for what it is i get 12-13L/100 out of town and 14-15L stop start in town...Comment

I know it’s off topic, but the 3RZ-FE must be a tough little donk.
These guys and a few others are getting 1400hp (no that is not a typo) out of them.
Now that is cool

PS. I love pictures

I was told that the v6 snorkle fits the 2.7 with a slight modification between the air filter and the snorkel.Originally posted by andrew

The 3RZ FE engine use a timing chain. The timing chain can go for a long time and shouldn't be worried with unless you hearing noises or having problems or you are already tearing down the engine.

Besides what it says there, I read an occasional problem with balance shafts in the 3RZ engine. There is a kit to remove the balance shafts: http://www.lceperformance.com/Balanc...-p/1015050.htm

3RZ it's a great great engine widely used in race applications.
