Under sustained high exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), OEM cast units are susceptible to stress fractures. Furthermore, the OEM manifold lacks turbocharger provisions, choking volumetric efficiency when attempting forced-induction conversions on the heavy \u003cstrong\u003eN180\u003c\/strong\u003e platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from heavy-gauge, mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, this tubular header ensures continuous internal diameter and smooth gas expansion from the cylinder head ports to the turbine inlet. Fully TIG welded to resist thermal expansion cycles and high-boost fatigue, the design incorporates optimized runner lengths to equalize exhaust pulses, accelerating spool dynamics for T3 turbine housings. A dedicated 35mm external wastegate flange provides precise boost regulation, preventing boost creep under heavy off-road or highway loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Stainless Steel T3 Turbo Manifold\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Exhaust Manifold Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100 style=\" border-collapse: collapse border: solid font-size: min-width:\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1996-2000 Toyota 4Runner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e3RZ-FE (2.7L I4) \/ N180\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e150 hp \/ 177 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-2000 Toyota 4Runner Base 2.7L L4 (3RZ-FE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the N180 4Runner?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 1996-2000 Toyota 4Runner equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e3RZ-FE\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.7L engine. \u003cstrong\u003eDoes not fit 3.4L 5VZ-FE V6 models.
