Rated one of the best engines made by Toyota, these things can handle double their stock power without having to forge the pistons or anything like that.

I'd suggest to read those topics from Trent's post... I've read them a few times as I have the same engine in my Camry too.

Depending what you want to spend, $ wise.

1MZ-FE TRD SC WILL fit fairly easily on the 3VZ-FE. You need to make an adapter tube to go between the throttle and SC to put the IAC valve (it;s in the intake plenum which the SC replaces). You can get rid of the 7th injector int he intake plenum by changing the 2 fuel rails to the ones from a 1MZ-FE which doesn't have the 7th injector.

Couple other issues:

1: You'll need to run a standalone ECU. I;ve heard the OEM ECU can;t deal with the power increase.

2: Being a RHD car, you'll have to change the brack/clutch master cylinder. Couple people have done this to the Gen 4 1MZ Camry there, and it should be the same for your car. But not 100% sure.

And I HIGHLY recommend replacing the Head Gaskets on the 3VZ before you boost, as that is the weak point.

      Upgrade from 2012 to 2023

      I have recently bought a 2012 Prado and was wondering if i could buy a 2023 strat write off prado and upgrade both interior and exterior so all the functions from the 2023 works regardless of the newer features and buttons. I'm planning to upgrade not just the exterior, I'm also planning to upgrade the interior dash and stuff as well.

      Towbars

      I went to my local Toyota Dealer for a nudge bar and tow bar for my 2017 AWD RAV4 and was told by their part's department was told "parts no longer made." Looking at aftermarket (ECB, Haymen Reese and ARB) but hesitant because sellers can't give 100% guarantee that parts will fit GLX facelift model.

      Concerns about Fuel Consumption in Kluger Hybrid

      I have the same issue with my 22 new Hybird Kluger. I also found my (grande) new Kluger has missed 220V power point and camera view on central mirror comparing with same car in US. This clearly are the short cuts to Australia Toyota customers which is unacceptable.

      ASV50 Camry Head Unit Options

      I have a 2014 Atara SL with the JBL Navigation head unit, it's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'd like to add Android Auto so I'm curious about what other owners have done. I don't want to lose the reverse camera and the dynamic guidelines, there are also some other car functions as part of it that would be good to keep. I have seen plug in modules that wire in that add the functionality to the existing unit so it's possible to keep it and switch between stock and android but I haven't seen a specific one for this model JBL unit. Has anyone had success with a later model Toyota unit bolting in?

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon
