That is a bogus claim. Need the dyno to back it up. There have been other before you that claim the same thing but when it comes down to it, they suddenly dissappear form the forum. Im guess you probably got at most 10hp. maybe

Dude, I can't read any more of your posts because you aren't familiar enough with the English language for me to understand you without a lot of work. Try a little punctuation and spell checking to make it easier on us old farts who think basic grammar is helpful.

Sad, sad irony, but not surprising going by that track record.

Most fora don't have a spell check. Firefox does and Opera has plugins, so there is still no excuse.

More to the point, I think this quote from another thread is quite concise:

It was a very modest increase in power over the 22R/E. Getting any significant power from it requires significant investment... so the rumor goes. Considering the market for 3VZE performance parts is vastly smaller than that of the 22R/E, there may be some truth to the rumor.
the 3VZE is like a bigger version of the 22R-E; short of forced induction, not much in the way of bolt-ons will realize decent power gains. Even if they did, you are still left wondering when it will lose a head gasket. If a 3.4 swap can be done for $1500, then that's only $37.50 per horsepower gained....a whole lot better than the $80-100+ for regular bolt-ons.

the 22r has a bigger market case it was used longer then the 3vz thus why small market

i remmber back in the day whne i frist started to mod my 7mgte there was no market at all and 400 was a crazy hp now

400 is joke and there is a huge market now poepel are runing close to 800 and more


the hg issue is stuipe small and easy fix just use metal head gasket problem fixed

but i going to leav my truck alone and start to work on my supra again i need to finsh it plus i need ot pool some money up for the dyno

Perhaps you should use some of the money you pool up for continuing education courses.

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.
First off, I'm not in denial over anything. If I thought I'd wasted my time or money on any particular mod, it wouldn't be something I'd want to share with the YT community. I trying to help folks here, and wouldn't recommend mods I felt were of no benefit.

Next, I consider myself a scientist, and what I've done to modify my engine is all experimental. My hypothesis being, "what's good for one engine is good for another". I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel here. It's ALL been done before, time and time again, to innumerous different combustion engines with documented gains galore. Why wouldn't the same mods apply to my engine? Although, It's indeed possible that I've gained very little in the way of added "power"(your choice of words there, not mine). I've certainly not caused any decrease in such as a result of anything I've done. And It would also seem equally possible(at least to me)that I have achieved a beneficial effect(s). Based solely on the mpg change, up from the 17-19 mpg range to around 21-23 mpg, I'd have to say that kinda speaks for itself. I must have done something right. So, I deffinetely wouldn't have any reason, in all honesty, to undo any of the work I've done. If you also take into account the amount of money I've spent(again, less than $100) vs. any percieved gains, it = I win BIG IMO.

Finally, time on the dyno is far too expensive for my budget, sorry. I mean we're talking multiple runs, pre & post modification, to get any useful data to support the effectiveness of any one mod or mods. Much more than I can justify spending just to prove it to the nay-sayers like you. If, however, that's what you require as proof, I'd suggest you purchase a 3VZE and do the testing yourself. Or, perhaps, you're worried it all may actually be substanciated by doing so.

That right there was a damn good post.

Although I don't run a 3.0 I do agree that for the most part folks on this forum post up mods that they have done and that they felt helped either in fuel milage or performance. There will always be someone that, for what ever reason, decides that something that someone else has done was a bad idea or a poor choice.

Very well played sir.
