1rz-e to 3vze swap
Hi!
I have a Toyota Revo which is equipped with a 1rz-e 2liter and auto 4 spd gearbox. I was thinking of swapping a 3vze in it. Would the existing gearbox fit and work with 3vze, If not, can you guys recommend a rwd auto box that will mate and work with the 3vze? I'm desperate for more power and possibly the same or better fuel economy than the 1rz-e as its just running 5 km/liter city driving. Hear from you soon! Cheers!

according to google...
5 (kilometers / liter) = 11.7607292 miles per gallon
11-12 mpg is about normal for the 3.0 as well... there will be a flood of guys that will say oh i get in the 20s on my 3.0... but they are FEW and far between.... the 3.0 is not a very solid motor. if your looking for motor swaps for more KM/L i would look at the 3.4

That 11.7 miles per gallon is from the 2 liter 4 banger. Thats why I would say is under powered and is in serious need of a bigger engine. The 5vz would be great. What rwd non 4wd tranny would you recommend guys? Hear from you soon! Cheers!

All I can say is I've checked the plugs and the burn is even a bit lean to perfect. So I don't really know where the gas is going. No leaks. And the car is just 43,000 kms old. I was suggested to replace the diff with a higher gearing but I'm not convinced as the engine is not delivering enough power to pull itself up a 30 degree hill on 1st gear. (auto box). That's why I think I need a stronger more economical engine. Thanks for your comments.
