the 3.4L 5vz engine has a double overhead cam
the gas milage is 19/23 with a 5speed...I suppose that
by 95 when it came out the fuel injection design
was much better that it was in 88 when the 3.0 3vz
came out, which by the way is a single overhead cam.
3vz is rated something like 14/18 mpg.
Also because the 5vz is DOHC it has 24 valves
Im not sure but I assume that the 3vz SOHC has
12 valves.
Ive had my 94 4runner for about 4 days, and though I knew what I was getting into with the 3vz Im thinking my aunts 4.0 inline 6 cherokee is more efficient.
My old runner has a 22re, that was pretty good on gas even though it had no balls. Im not quite sure tho that the 3vz is anything spectacular compared to 22re. actually I think that the 22re was just as quick on the 0 to 60. if not faster...or am I insane?
either one tho were both slugs...
