who here has the modded 3vz e
 

just woundering what you guys have done to these motor's


i have done bunch of work on mine and so to be more

and list of mods would be awsome

how about you give us your list of mods if you've done a bunch of work on it?

Not many people modify the 3vz-e, I prefer to keep mine stock. Can't risk blowing anything on my dd.

all right thought every one who have know by now

isr
7mge afm
7mge air box
7mge coil
copper plugs gapped to 7mge spec
timing set to 12
doug throley header's
maganaflow 2.5 cat
2.5 flow master pos 40 series crappy sounding muffler ( soon to be replaced)
flex alight e fan
egr and the rest of the emissons removed
plx wide band
apexi neo fuel computer
honda fuel reg with b&m ajustable up grade kit
coolent in going though the thottle body is by passed

curious to know what all that cost you and very interested to see the dyno

not much at all ready most exp thing was the headers

mabye every said and doen 1100 buck's if that alot fo teh stuff i had all ready or is down right cheep when found used

x2 for me

What are you trying to achive since most of those mods are begging for forced induction to be added.

To me it seems a bit overmodded for the HP gains you might see which might be less than you'd expect unless an SC is in the future.

What emissions did you remove which most of us can't do?

yea..i dont see anything more than about 10 or 15hp over stock?...whats so special about that..lol

i thought you were gonna show us a twin turbo'd 3vz...LMAO!

:lol:
ISR
NGK V-power plugs gapped @ .036 w/ACCEL super stock solid core wires
ALL deleterious emissions crap removed(EGR & PAIR gone, kept PCV & EVAP intact)
Coolant hose under intake plenum by-passed
Ignition timing ~ 23-24* BTDC(on 92 octane gas ONLY)
No muffler
Semi-hollow cat(half of the catalyst removed)
AFM 3 clicks lean


Dyno schmyno! I couldn't care less! I'm more than pleased with the results and the price(less than $100)!;)

I modded mine right into the back of a guy's pick up after I swapped in my 3.4.

i added .4 liters of displacement... that helped a BUNCH!!

ha.. very funny:lof:

did that make it run hot. leanin motors out usually makes'em run hot. just wonderin if it was much of a difference in engine heat and power

It didn't seem to make a noticeable difference in how hot it tends to run. Possibly, but very little if any. I still can't barely get the temp gauge past the mid-point on a super hot day, climbing steep hills. That could be because of the ignition timing advancement, which should be lowering combustion temps. Forgot to mention I run it strictly on 92 octane gas now too(added to prev. post). That allowed me a couple of degrees more advanced without too much pinging.

I did, however, notice a decent power/mpg increase. I'd say at least a whole mpg gain, and much better throttle response. My plugs also showed that I was running rich before-hand, and it totally solved that problem. I'd deffinetely recommend it to anyone with the same issue, or wanting a little extra fuel efficiency and/or fuel economy.

wow you maybe got 10hp more out of all that for 1100. That is insane. You can pick up very low mileage 4.3 drivtrain for like $100. I stuck with the 3.4 swap and my 3.4 was only 1000 and I still have alot more hp than you.

What does everybody say they notice more power after modding their 3vz??? Is it because of the denial and dont want to admit that they wasted all the time and effort into doing it and in the end actually got nothing.

If you are going to stand by your mods and say it adds power, we need to see dynos. So far I havent seen any post of a dyno of a 3vz that has been modded. Unless you are clever and put in a turbo but still have yet to see the dyno for that as well which leads me to believe that it must not be worth it.

Does anybody have a dyno chart from a 3.4???

I don't see a point in modding the 3.0 very much unless you add forced induction. It just doesn't seem like a decent platform to try to squeeze power out of. Most modern day V6 engines around that size are putting out way more power in stock form. A "simple" 3.4 swap will probably get you more power than you'll ever get out of the 3.0 without the addition of a turbo/supercharger.

here is the post in the thread

another dyno here too.

I was thinking more along the lines of a stock-ish 3.4 comparing it to a stock-ish 3.0. Not really fair to compare a S/C 3.4 to a N/A 3.0

turbo naaaaaa if anything run a super charger

work at perforamce shop for some time from the gain's i got in the truck is pretty big

the afm is one of the biggest peacs of the puzzle the afm is the main hart beat of gaining power in the 3 slug

the afm is far to small

more air coming in and more fuel added makes power

thats easy stock 3.0 is rated at 150 and the 3.4 is rated at 190. I posted those to show that people have dynos of the modded 3.4 but noone has posted a modded 3.0
