Seriously, if y’all could design a 5.7 swap kit, I’d be all over it. I’m going to ride the wheels off my 2015 but at some point in the future want more power. It’s 10k for a 4.0 supercharger kit. Same guys who get that would be more than willing to drop 15k on a swap instead.

I have a 2015 4Runner, and I was wondering if you could do the same engine swap on mine that you did on his, and if so what would it run me? Thanks

This rig is amazing! Wondering when you’re going to sell it to me ;-) $100k probably ballpark? Lol

Do you have more detailed information on the tundra engine swap. This is my dream one day, supercharging the V6 leaves me wanting more..

Yoooo, Brenan from https://trail4runner.com/ here. Damn this build is impressive. I just keep wondering how long it took to swap all the electrical and wiring harnesses from the Tundra ECU over to the 4Runner. Jasons wiring game is on point!
