you cant compare power to PSI! prime example when i was on my stock twins at 15psi i was making about 375 HP, as soon as i went to a single turbo at 15psi i was making over 500HP. its apples and oranges
whatever swap you do end up using, please please post tons of pictures and lots of details on the wiring. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

PSI is relevant to turbo efficiency as well. ****ty turbo at 8psi may make 330hp while a great turbo at 8psy may make 425. also depends on your intercooler efficiency. lower temp air at the same volume and pressure will have more mass/density/OXYGEN. but i was just posting that as a quick example that the 3vzFE makes similar power to the 2jz. can a fully build 3vz make ungodly power like a 2jz?? possibly. will take more $$$ as there are less off the shelf parts. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

Less off the shelf performance parts and the 3VZ is getting harder to find in usable condition. It's an old motor. Lots of them have way too many miles or are rotting away in a junkyard somewhere. That was another reason why I went 1MZ. They're EVERYWHERE, can be had with low miles, and there is a reasonable aftermarket following for them - specifically in the way of superchargers.

as stated, if you want to turbo w/o a full engine build, 3vz is a better option.
if you're willing to do a full build, 1mz is a better option. the block is not the weak point in engines. how often do you see a block fail? excluding a rod going through it. 1mz weak point are the pistons and rods. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

But really... what sort of cheapo would go through the hassle of a turbo VZ/MZ swap and skimp on the internals... which are integral to making power? If you are of that mindset and want to swap in and turbo charge a stock engine... well... you deserve the sketchy information. BTW... Newer is better... and apparently Toyota agrees -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

the 1MZ is a much better platform. newer technology, lighter, and later ones have VVT. other options are the 3MZ and of course the 2GR
