Hello,
does the fan clutch for a '92 T4R 3VZE, match with any other model, even if not toyota ?

There may be a match that I am not aware of... However, as long as you keep a good alternator and battery in your truck swapping to an electric fan is an excellent idea.
Flex-a-lite even makes a bolt in kit for our trucks.

I have a kit on the way for my 95 I just bought. It's a great way to pick up a little extra power (usually around 15) and some extra MPG. Once you pull that big heavy fan and clutch off the pulley you will see just why it is such a parasitic loss of HP.

The Tacoma/Hilux/4Runners for that year are all pretty much the same. They all used the same engines, so if you have a 3VZE 3.0L V6, then the fan clutch from any other Toyota with a 3VZE should work fine.
But... I'm new to the Toyota world, so I could be very wrong.
I'm trying to get RID of my fan clutch on my 3VZE (90 4Runner Auto 4x4) to make room for an electric fan. So far, I can't figure out exactly how to get it off of there. I see 4 bolts that APPEAR to hold the fan clutch onto the pulley... but I haven't been able to turn those bolts yet. Every time I try, I either start to strip the bolt, or the pulley starts to turn. Anyone know what size those bolts are?
I'm also trying to replace both of the belts on this thing... but cant seem to figure out how to relieve the tension on the belts in order to get them off the pullies. Any ideas?

I have a 90 t4r with the v6 and i just replaced my clutch fan the bolts are a 12 mm. To stop the pulley from moviing i wedged a pry bar on the other bolt. I was able to get all of the bolts off. The problem that i was having and still having after replacing the fan is i can feel it dis engauge. The power is alot better but the engine starts to run a little hotter than i like. Is it normal to have the fan disengauge like that?

Thanks for telling me the size of that bolt, but I figured it out yesterday. I went to walmart and picked up a little metric set, and discovered that the 12mm fit nicely!
Got my fan clutch off!!
Got my electric fan installed!!
Got all the wiring done!!
BUT..... something is wrong.
Now, when I crank the truck, I get this nasty clickitty-grinding sound that I believe is coming from the pulley (that had the clutch bolted to it).
SO when I removed the fan clutch, I just took those bolts and put 'em right back into the pulley, tightened it up as good as I can, but it still has some wobble in it. I don't think there's enough thread left in the bolt to crank it down any farther... what did I do wrong?
Other than the pulley wobbleing and screaming, the truck does seem to run a bit rough... is that because the pulley may have been turned a half-inch or so in the process of removing that fan clutch?
Help! this is my daily driver!

I believe in the write ups you are supposed to compensate by adding washers. This gets rid of the extra space created when you remove the fan clutch. Here is a write-up.
