High-Performance Bolt-On Power Kit | 3RZ Tacoma

Stage 1 "Total Performance" Power Package

Transform your 2.7L 3RZ engine from a reliable workhorse into a high-performance machine with our curated Total Performance Power Package. Specifically engineered to eliminate the factory bottlenecks in your Tacoma’s drivetrain, this kit combines air induction, exhaust scavenging, and shifting precision to deliver a cohesive, seat-of-the-pants improvement in drivability.

By optimizing the "Air-In/Air-Out" cycle of your engine, this bolt-on system generates an additional 20–25 horsepower and a significant bump in torque. Whether you’re merging onto the highway, navigating steep grades, or running larger tires, this package provides the extra "grunt" your Tacoma has been missing, while often improving fuel economy through increased engine efficiency.

What’s Inside the Package:

• Stainless Steel Tuned Exhaust Header: A premium, smog-legal header designed with tuned primaries to maximize exhaust scavenging. The stainless steel construction ensures a lifetime of durability while significantly reducing backpressure compared to the restrictive factory cast-iron manifold.
• Pro Flow Performance Exhaust System: Engineered to provide a deep, throaty tone without the annoying "drone." This high-flow system complements the header by allowing exhaust gases to exit the vehicle with minimal resistance.
• K&N Filter Charger Kit: Replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a high-velocity intake system. This allows the 3RZ to breathe in cooler, denser air, sharpening throttle response and increasing top-end power.
• Performance Short Shifter: While the engine provides the power, this kit ensures you control it with precision. It reduces shift throw and eliminates the "vague" feeling of the factory lever for a tighter, more mechanical gear change.

Performance Benefits at a Glance:

• Dyno-Proven Gains: Expect an increase of 20–25 horsepower.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Improved airflow often results in better MPG under normal driving conditions.
• Street Legal: Includes a C.A.R.B. exempt header (see notes for CA residents).
• Complete Bolt-On: Designed to utilize factory mounting points for a straightforward installation.

Important Fitment & Legal Notes

• California Residents: The included header is 49-state legal for all years, but is specifically C.A.R.B. legal in California only for 1995–1999 models.
• Transmission Compatibility: This kit is a direct fit for Manual transmissions. Automatic transmission models may require slight modification to the transmission fluid dipstick to provide adequate clearance for the header.
• Exhaust Configuration: This system is designed for single catalytic converter vehicles only. It is not a direct-fit for California-spec "Dual Cat" models.
• 4Runner Owners: While this package can be adapted for 3RZ-powered 4Runners, please note that the catalytic converter is welded in on those models, requiring professional exhaust modification for installation.
• The Professional Advantage: Why guess which parts work together? We’ve done the testing and tuning so you don't have to. This is the most comprehensive, proven bolt-on power solution available for the Toyota 3RZ engine.
