Got the car now for the conversion.

You mean RWD? Cause if you do that'd be teh sick

Yeah i think he means AWD, which was sold as the SV25 and was only available with the 3SFE engine. Unfortuantely, good examples of these cars are extremely rare as most a rusted out.
Pity they never released a V6 variant

Project cancelled

[RT104GT]

Engine has broken balance support bars and is unusuable. TOYROLLA got me a good deal with 150K engine for $800 delivered.

I passed up a VCV10 with 120000 3VZFE at Stawell $1500 whole car or $1100 engine and box.

FYI


2VZ-FE

The 2VZ-FE is a 2.5 L (2507 cc) version. Bore is 87.5 mm (3.4 in) and stroke is 69.5 mm (2.7 in).

Output is 159 hp (118 kW) at 5800 rpm and 159 ft·lbf (215 N·m) at 4600 rpm.

Applications:
1988–1991 Toyota Camry
1988–1991 Lexus ES 250 (USA)
Daihatsu/Vauxhall.

3VZ-E

The 3VZ-E is a 3.0 L (2958 cc) version. Bore remains at 87.5 mm (3.4 in) but stroke is pushed to 82.0 mm (3.2 in).

Output is 150 hp (112 kW) at 4800 rpm with 180 ft·lbf (244 N·m) of torque at 3600 rpm.

Despite sharing an engine family designation. Little design, or parts are shared between the 3vz-e, and 3vz-fe.

Applications:
1988–1995 Toyota 4Runner
1988–1995 Toyota Pickup

3VZ-FE

The 3VZ-FE came to life when Toyota recognized that it needed a larger V6 engine to suit the then-upcoming 3rd generation Camry platform. Its basic design incorporates an updated version of the last revision of the 3VZ-E's block, mated with the Yamaha designed and built DOHC (24 valve) FE V6 heads, and Toyota's most advanced OBD-I control system. The upper aluminum intake manifold has is a split chamber intake manifold with Toyota's ACIS varriable intake system feeding three sets of runners for both heads.
Parts-wise, the 3VZ-FE shares very little with previous engines, including the 3VZ-E, and 2VZ-FE. The few parts shared with the 3VZ-E that are interchangeable are the main bearings; little else is the same. In a surprising twist, no electronics from other Toyota (Denso) parts are swappable.


It is a smooth running engine that was used as the 3.0 L V6 engine on the Camry platform between 1992 and 1997.5 depending on the market: North America saw the engine only in 1992 and 1993, while Australia and New Zealand had it from 1992 through 1996, and the engine was available in some parts of Asia, and in the JDM Toyota Windom through 1997.5.

The 1992-1993 engine has 185 hp (138 kW) at 5800 rpm and 189 ft·lbf (256 N·m) at 4600 rpm.
1994+ have 200 hp (149 kW) at 5800 rpm and 204 ft·lbf (277 N·m) at 4600 rpm.

There is no mechanical difference in the engine.
In an embarrassing move, Toyota inadvertently created an engine competing with the more performance oriented 7M-GE and 1JZ-GE installed in sportier, more luxurious cars of the time. Because of this, both stock ignition timing, and fuel tuning were set more conservatively than normal capping power output.

The power spread of the 3VZ-FE is wide, having 100% torque at just 2500 rpm - 4600 rpm, with power trailing off by 6000 rpm. Stock redline is 6850 rpm, and the ECU's fuel/ignition cut is over 7000 rpm. The valvetrain was designed for no float over the stock programmed operational range.

Though harder to find in good used condition in North America (unless imported), the 3VZ-FE is a fairly common V6 in most parts of the world, after having a good lifespan in popular models. They are cheap, simple, have few problems, and have become a semi-popular subject for engine swaps.
The 3VZ-FE also started Toyota's trend of severely overbuilding their production V6 engines. Having a larger forged steel crankshaft, and large cast rods, they are capable of more than doubling stock power output easily. With a few nitrous, and turbocharged examples matching, or exceeding 450 hp (336 kW) on both the stock engine, and stock engine management with a piggyback/interceptor controlling fuel/ignition.


4VZ-FE

The 4VZ-FE is a 2.5 L (2496 cc) version.
Bore is 87.5 mm (3.4 in) and stroke is ever so slightly lower from the 2VZ-FE at 69.2 mm (2.7 in).
Output is 173 hp (129 kW) at 6000 rpm. Compression ratio of this engine was raised from 9.0:1 to 9.6:1.

So a head job on a 2VZFE would bring it up to these specs

In production from 1992 until 1996, it was built to replace the 2VZ-FE as Toyota's 2.5 L V6. Engine was only sold with JDM vehicles.
Applications: JDM
1992–1996 Toyota Vista


5VZ-FE

The 5VZ-FE is a 3.4 L (3378 cc) engine. Bore is up to 93.5 mm (3.7 in) and stroke is 82.0 mm (3.2 in). Output is 190 hp (142 kW) at 4800 rpm with 220 ft·lbff (298 Nm) of torque at 3600 rpm. It has a cast iron engine block and aluminum DOHC cylinder heads. It uses MFI fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder with bucket tappets and features large cast connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, and a cast aluminum intake manifold.
The 5VZ-FE also continued the 3VZ-FE's trend of being far overbuilt for its intended application. A handful of built versions exceed 900 hp (670 kW), and some stock engines can produce 450 hp (336 kW) or more. This has become a popular engine to consider when doing engine swaps with the avalibility of the 3.4 L TRD supercharger and custom turbocharger setups.

JUST IN:

The only option is to recondition your existing engine. You would be looking at $3500.00 subject to the suitabilty of you engine.

AND THIS

have located gearbox of 1MZ engine fly wheel bolts clutch low
kilometre one they want $1200

I can get a farking car for $1500.

[kingmick]

For $1500 you can get a 1uz frontcut!
FWD 1uz FTW! hahaha be a first, im sure!

[NeoNasty]

Not turning out quite how you anticipated?

mmMMm 3 liter St162. That would be a fun car (maybe too front heavy though)

[RT104GT]

project shelved

Oh what a feeling TOOYYOTTA

[RT104GT]

Like I keep saying price is what you pay, a fair deal is what you are supposed to get.

[JetspeedCamry]

Gees!! Thats not good!
I guess thats why there $1700 normally!

[RT104GT]

Gees!! Thats not good!

yeah could have got one with box for $1450 stiff.

Just means I have to transfer all my 250000k stuff (old engine) onto the new engine (150,000). maybe,

[RT104GT]

Replacement sump arrived from the supplier and most of the damaged "accessories' removed and replaced with high hours high k's stuff from the old engine.

Pulled timing belt and water pump as a caution and found heaps of rusted gunk in behind water pump.

MBy comparison I have a 150,000 k engine I am running and a 250,000 that blew up and neither have rust.

So IF this engine from one of our sponsors is as claimed 150,000 KM how come all the gunge and rust.

They claimed they ran it, would not rust like this have flushed out IMO.

I reckon I've been screwed but we will see when I do the comps after install.

That's if it even starts.

At least I got a timing belt off ebay for 99 cents.

Stay tuned..

[RT104GT]

New water pump, new timing belt on and timed. The front bolt is 181 KG to tighten.
tensioner was interesting.

New pulleys from KOYO were $70 each 2 needed.

Waiting on Iridiums and we have topped out on expenditure.

car will come in under $4000 but not with manual gearbox so far best price is $800 and $600 for all the hardware.

Auto drained and fitted with new filter kit.

mated tomorrow and then fit engine from below using the new hoist.

I already have my factory wheels I found at a wreckers that no one could figure out what they fit. (originally $700 15x6.5 each like Supra wheels) got them for scrap value ($25 each).[/QUOTE]

Maybe off the topic slightly, but is there any chance you could put up a picture of these wheels, or even when they're on the car would be fine.

I'm curious to know if they're the same as the 15" alloys that were on our SV21 when we bought it. I've never seen these rims before so I'm not sure what car they're actually from.

Anyway, if you can do a pic, much appreciated.

Yeah cando

V6's take all day to fit







Quad Cam 2VZFE 2.5L





is supposed to go up in there.

Actually fits.
