iforce 4.7 vs non

Hey guys I have a 2000 Tundra and my buddy bought a 2006 crew cab (I have a access cab) and his trucks wayyy faster yea his trucks newer and I have a lift and bigger tires but holy shit he blows me out of the water his is the “iforce” 4.7 tundra but here’s my question was it even a opinion in 2000??? My grandpa bought this truck new and I’m only the second owner so just wondering because I’ve been looking for HP so how do I get this iForce opinion? SWAP THE DAMN THING??

 

I probably sound dumb but

 

05 and 06 got beefier engines with that VVTi tech.

 

They're all "iForce" but the 05 and 06 have variable valve timing.

As far as I can tell "iForce" doesn't mean anything.

 

So the iforce has nothing to do with it?

 

So if I don’t have “iforce” on my engine I still have it?

 

Toyota made the name "iForce" when they made the first Tundras. It isn't the same as variable valve timing which is what your friend has, the 05-06 get an extra 30 horsepower from the Toyota version of Vtec.

I think they just made up "iForce" to sound cool.

 

They are not "beefier", they just have the vvti new age crap!

 

Always saving the day appreciate it man last question since I have you here bilstein 5100s or icon shocks for the rear?

 

Your truck should say I force on the rear tailgate next to where it ways toyota tundra

 

Weird. Must not have been put on them all. As long as u have the v8 it's fine. "Iforce" is just a dummy term

 

Of those 2, Icon is the spendier, upper tier option. But do some research on progressive vs. digressive so you get what you need for how you use your truck.

Also, why only the rear?

 

He has Icon up front already

I might say neither but depends what you want from your truck.

5100s are okay, I have run a pair for about ten years. They limit my rear suspension travel by about 3" though. If you will stick with atock springs they are fine.

Icon, depends which ones. Some are not meant for extra travel (don't confuse travel with lift). They have one set that can work with aftermarket springs but for that price I would sooner get the Archive garage relocation kit and a pair of 12" King or Fox for the rear.

 

hey its been a while since i been here....
the "iForce" stands for "Intelligent Throttle" AKA Electronic throttle control; i think its started at 2001. (thats about 240HP).
Then the VVT was added at 2005 (thats adds to about 270HP).
So yes your friend does have little more HP and and a 5 speed transmission, yours is a 4 speed.
Now there is a supercharger made for the 2000-2003 but is like impossible to find....
Now about the engine swap... it maybe possible but you will need the ecm too to control the VVT but also you will the the 5 speed transmission....

i got 2001 and am very happy with it

 

Engine can be swapped if you find a donor, you’d need the engine, transmission, ecu, engine harness. Then some wiring unless you also swapped the interior harness out.
The difference is VVTI and a 5 speed auto vs your 2000

 

Wait is your friends truck black? If not then paint yours black and you'll smoke his ass.

 

Don't forget the stickers. Each adds 5hp.

 

Also, your taller tires make your truck slower off the line. They effectively lower your gearing -- it's like going from a 4:11 to a 3:73 rear end. Plus they add unsprung weight.

 

iForce stands for "I force" you to buy a lot of gasoline.....

 

Also, throw some TRD stickers on your rig for even more HP.

 

I’ve been rubbing Crystals on mine for extra speed.
