He ran it for about 4 years then lost interest went to rice burner cars. He got it up to 17lbs of boost didnt have a head gasket problem so i think im going to do this to my pickup this winter on a donor motor and play with it. His wife said it was faster than her fj80. I have never drove a fj80 but i assume they are quicker than a 3.0L.

 

Yay....another thing to add to my list!! lol

 

Wait nevermind. I had a brain fart! Thought I was lookin at a 3.4 and got excited. Even spaced the name!

 

u mean spelled? lol looks cool, wonder how much hp-tq it adds?

 

Yea the guy never dynoed it but he said it would spin his 36's

 

You can do that with a 22R and the right gearing. lol

 

i just found this with a google search
http://www.toyotaperformance.com/3vze.htm

 

Yea but we are talking 3.slow here mine barely spins my 33's with stock 4.56's

 

This is true....im suprised somebody put that much faith in one.

 

yea that 6900 dollar crate motor is to much when you can turbo it like that guy for 700 haha

 

Me likey. Note he said it was $700 but he already had an additional injector controller and some other parts. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has faith in the 3VZ.

 

i like it would be fun to take for a spin in one

 

for the money, i would invest into rebuild the motor. my friend just got his rebuilt and it not gonna be major gain in power but he did say it was much stronger.

 

$6900 for all the annoyances of a 3vze and additional annoyances from a turbo setup? lol no thanks... i'm pretty sure you could swap in chevy everything for half the price and be putting out twice the power and half the engine bay clutter. you'll spin any tire you can fit on there, no problem

if i had a 3.0 (which i don't right now, thank heaven) i would quickly be sourcing a 3.4 and rebuilding it in the garage for when the 3.0 inevitably takes a dump.. my $0.02. i think it's a PITA and not worth the money or effort. some people don't think so, but those people have lots of patience. i dont.

 

Hey buddy look at my post again you read it wrong. 3VZE crate motor with 30% more power is $6900. Doing the turbo like the guy in the link did is only $700 running 17psi of boost with no motor problems at all. So keep you can keep your government funded Chevy junk. Thank you.

 

My 22r can spin my 35s easily and spin them shifting into second and third gear at high rpms. I would never put my money into building up a 3.pos motor. Save up you pennys and drop a 3.4 in it

 

funny how people slam the 3.0 and think God himself crafted the 3.4 when the only major difference in construction is the heads and a bigger bore, its still a VZ motor!!! otherwise its got the same crank and rods. 3.0 crabk is cast while 3.4 is forged

 

Im all for the 3.0. Ill be watching this. Its a cool idea.

 

me too seems like it would be fun. anyone know what the atmospheric pressure difference between 6000ft and sea level in pounds? thinking a low boost turbo would be ok as long as it booste3d low psi to compensate for altitude like our kubota diesels with high altitude turbo compensation

 

You do realize that EVERY engine is inevitably going to 'take a dump' at some point, right? I've got 250,000 miles on my original 3VZ-E and she's still goin strong.
