hey guys i have a question. i've searched online for the answer but only find people preaching a 3vz to 5vz swap, which i have no use for in a bagged 4runner. i've taken the harness for the 3vz and fished out all the 3vz stuff leaving just the light and a/c wiring, and i've taken the 22r harness and fished out all the light wiring. so basically i have 2 harnesses ready to splice. but i'm super nervous about having wiring issues after doing all the splicing. so the question is can i power a 22r off of a 3vz harness? in my head i'd need power for the coil, igniter, starter, alt, which obviously the 3vz harness should have. just not sure how i would hook it all up. anybody got any advice? (other then swapping a 5vz.. lol)
the did put the 22r enignes in that generation of trucks i believe up to 90 or 91. maybe go to the j yard and get a harness look for a 2wd base truck, they are getting hard to find, i know since i am looking for one
if its not too late id keep the 3vz alt wiring. then you just need to light up the coil and wire/plumb fuel a 22r really only needs a constant hot and a switched hot on both the coil n alt. if you want to throw money at the problem get a DUI ignition or mallory or whatever, those aftermarket ignitions tend to be just one switched wire.
i have the 22r harness. it's just that there is a lot of wiring to have all the power windows and locks. it runs off of a relay behind the dash and i'm afraid of messing up those connections. this is what i'm wanting to hear ryan! lol. i already hacked the 3vz harness but i can grab another one from the junkyard. do you still have the same phone #? i might be giving you a call lol
yep, same bat channel if it were me, id just leave the stock harness untouched and run a piggy back harness for the 22r. once every thing works, cut out what wiring you dont use.
