I think its possible especially with a turbo.

holy cow thats high

 

She needs bit of inspiration with a 3vzfe and possibly a turbo

 

Where are you getting the turbo from?

 

I work for Borg Warner Turbo so I'll probably source one from there.

I will need to first run the numbers on the engine such as displacement, anticipated HP, airflow etc and see what I come up with. Do you have any recommendations?

 

I'd be interested to see this take place. Keep me posted!

 

As I get stuff figured out I'll post it. I welcome the advice from others too.

 

Just so we are on the same page, do you plan on adding a turbo to your 3vz-fe?

 

That would be the idea

 

i don't believe the 3VZ-FE will mount into the pickup honestly

 

The engine mount to the tranny is the same as the 3VZE. I should be able to swap oil pans from the 3VZE to the 3VZFE. I will use the rubber motor mounts from the 3.0 and build some plate steel blocks to mount on the 3VZFE and then fab these to the rubber mounts which will bolt to the original truck frame mounts. This will be the easy part.

 

I'd be interested if it's possible ... increased mileage and (I assume) power?

 

Mild turbo with Mega Squirt tune should be an easy 300 HP. A challenge for sure but I have a lot of good help...

 

not the typical project for the average toyota Do-It-yourself mechanic.

a great project for sure!

it'd be nice to have the dual overhead cam design for my 3vz

 

Its like a huge jigsaw puzzle. Start with the easy stuff and continue till the puzzles all filled in......Ha we'll see.

Old 3VZE block is being steam cleaned and mag checked at the machine shop along with the oil pan, windage tray and oil pick up. When I get these I'll bolt up oil pan get engine in truck and work on the mounts. 3VZE will get rebuilt for my other truck.

 

what level of boost are you thinkin'??? 5-10psi?? I think this would be a fun project, and something to bragg about to all us peons, hahaha!

boost it!! hahaha....

 

10 psi would be nice. I might even go so far as build the engine to be turbo specific. Lower the compression and at least clean up the heads bit. This way I wont have to worry about controlling huge timing issues with a higher compression engine. I still want to run cheap gas. A friend of mine who is a Mega Squirt nut suggested we do two timing maps, one for go and one for mileage. My truck has two fuel tanks in it so I could even use different fuels......but that's for another day, after its all working.

 

Talked to Toysrme about this yet? I'm sure he has some pointers.

 

Sounds fun! Yay can't wait for updates!

 

I'll post things as they go. One step at a time and we'll see where it leads.

Thanks for the inspiration
