V6 v6 V6, i know its been covered Options

[NOVAKx17]

Hey guys, I know its been covered in a variety of posts so excuse my laziness but after alot of searching I know what v6s can be used but if you guys could enlighten me and post what vehicles and years they are in, possibly with the numbers they make, it would be very appreciated!

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.

Correct, just the passenger mount ...
And I am in the early research stage and still drawn between boost and straight na v6 power... just need to fond out all models it came in, I believe some lexus too correct?

Wikpedia yo.

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

What all vehicles are the 3mz in?
And im reading yours and kurts... lots of pages ha
And I know, either way I decide to go somethings being bought from you lol
and I was planning. On keeping my stock Tranny unless my deal comes thru with the lad trans from
Pitt firefighter ...
And I am planning on doing wiring and all maintenance work myself and just having the swap ready for this summer or when my clutch goes.. whatever comes first....

What part of Wikipedia do you not understand.

[NOVAKx17]

I don't wiki ... I smayy lol
I want to know what works best and is the best ways to go
Or ill end up with a v6 that ill never get to work
(:

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

[njccmd2002]

2grfe period, dont waste your time

[kurt95gt]

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

[NOVAKx17]

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.

[kurt95gt]

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

Yea my thread is a long read that really needs cleaned

[Smaay]

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.

[NOVAKx17]

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?

[Smaay]

post your email and ill send you the 5S-FE and 3MZ engine control documents

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

[Smaay]

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.

[NOVAKx17]

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?
