Smaay and Kurt have swapped in V6's. I think Smaay has a 1MZ/3MZ hybrid, and Kurt has a 1MZ. Variety of vehicles had the 1MZ, not many had manuals though. Only ones that had manuals, that come to mind, is the 97-02 Camry/Solara. All others were automatics, so if you want to use a manual it'll require some modification in that regard. Being you have a GT you have it a little easier since you could use your transmission, and only need 1? custom mount. Personally I'd want to use the E153 over the S54.

search my project thread. i had a hybrid before but it started tapping, so now its a full on 3MZ. im using the 1MZ intake manifold and ECU to run the engine. i have no VVT support and i still made 221HP and 241TQ. im using an E153 trans with MR2 inners and ST185 outters, with NO spacer!
i would have made a little more power if i used the stock S54 trans. also if you use the S54 you only need a passenger engine mount that i make for 200 bucks. what else do you want to know except is freaking awesome fun to drive. now i did drive Eryns car with a 3rd Gen 3S-GTE and at 18 psi that thing hauls ass. i bet its easily in the 320 range for HP and TQ. but that swap probably cost her close to 3000 bucks where the V6 shouldnt cost more than 1500 -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

From my understanding an early 1MZ-FE is the easiest way to go.

My setup now it as follows
98 Toyota avalon 1mz 96 Lexus es300 intake msnifold, exhaust manifolds, an charcoal can setup. 97 Toyota camry v6 ecu 93 Lexus es300 flywheel. 97 camry v6 maf sensor Southbend 3sgte pressure plate an s54 clutch disc an throwout bearing s54 trans with stock axles. Custom pass side motor mount an a custom made pass side axle carrier bearing mount. I had Mr220v do my wiring. He did a great job. You should deff think about having it done. You'll also need custom rad hoses too. Try to get a newer 1mz to avoid the oil sludging problems. That's what killed my first 1mz lol -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy

What 1mzs should I look for? Year range and vehicle types?
I would prefer to keep the s54. Seems the simplest way to go. I've been reading your thread as well, 52 pages tho ![]() And im going to do the wiring myself. I have alot of free time and I enjoy it. Plan on keeping cruise and a.c. ... well maybe not ac since I have a vert. -------------------- NOVAKx17

97+ 1mz. But you'll want to go with a 94-96 intake manifold to stick with the return style fuel system.

you can buy a 3MZ for the same price as a 1MZ and make a ton more power. the 3MZ has larger cams and of course its a 3.3 not a 3.0 did you see my dyno sheet? 241 TQ is awesome!
the 3MZ im using actually came out of an 05 Sienna Van. but you can use any 3MZ. Camry, Sienna, Solara, Lexus, whatever. look at this guide i wrote for how to mix the parts from a 1MZ and 3MZ http://www.solaraguy.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=54072 as for fuel, im using the 3MZ injectors and i modified the rails to make them a return system. you CAN get the older rails that are return but they are a little smaller in diameter. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

thats some sexy work.... one of the weeks i'm going to start looking around in the local salvage yards to see about finding an MZ engine....
your right, 3mz definitely makes more power and TQ. could you direct me to a 3mz Wiring Diagram perhaps? -------------------- NOVAKx17

Thanks brother... not much luck finding a 3mz yet.. Still on the lookout! A bunch of 1mzs and even a 2mz if the junkyard was right ha -------------------- NOVAKx17

i dont think anything in the USDM came with a 2MZ, they are wrong.
you are going to need the intake manifold from the 1MZ, if you are going to get a 3MZ i suggest getting the VVT 1MZ IM. it has dual throttle bodies and is still cable. the 3MZ is DBW, you dont even want to mess with that.

Is there any intake manifold that is better than another when it comes to the 1mz?
Ans what was the problem where you began knocking from combining the 3mz/1mz? And which 1mzs had vvti if you know off the top of your head? -------------------- NOVAKx17
