Seedy Al Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hey guys, poeple have much opinions on 3zv-fe's? Are they any good like, performance wise etc? looking for somthing different from the Old 'Stick a 1u in it mate' sort of thing. Talking RWD vehicle here also. Or are there other toyota options people would consider And fuck off with the words Commy motor please. loves Oh and dont ask what car its for because at this point it doesnt exist.

glen Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 5VZ-FE 3.4 v6 could be a go as found in newer prado's surfs etc. know some guys that put one into replace the 3zv 3L v6 (i think) in their toyota surf offroad race truck. goes way better now.

Roman Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 ^^ You're likely talking about the 2GRFE? The 5VZ is smaller displacement than 3VZ and equally pooz. All of the 90 onwards Toyota V6s seem to bolt up to an 'S' bellhousing though which is handy, so can fit to a W box easy enough. 1MZ (newer late 90s v6) is a bit better, but a bit more expensive. You might have the issues with standing them upright though, as I'm pretty sure they were all transverse from factory. Oooorrr bit of force induction with a 2.7 litre 3RZFE 4 cyl motors have gotten big HP with standard motors, also comes with a W series bellhousing which is handy. As mentioned above, 2GRGE is boss level Toyota V6, but expensive as hell and needs a fancy aftermarket computer to run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 5VZ-FE The 5VZ-FE is a 3.4 L (3378 cc) engine which replaced the 3VZ-E. Bore is up to 93.5 mm (3.7 in) and stroke is 82.0 mm (3.2 in) while the compression ratio stays the same as the 3VZ-FE at 9.6:1. Output is 190 hp (142 kW) at 4800 rpm with 220 lb·ft (298 Nm) of torque at 3600 rpm. It has a cast iron engine block, and aluminum DOHC cylinder heads designed by Yamaha Motor Company. It uses sequential multi-port fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder with bucket tappets and features large cast connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, and a cast aluminum intake manifold. It also features an oil cooler and coil-on-plug ignition. Applications: 1995–2004 Toyota Tacoma 2000–2004 Toyota Tundra 1995–1998 Toyota T-100 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner 1993–2004 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Toyota Granvia 2000-2002, 2004 GAZ 3111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 VZ engines are extra prone to blowing the rear head gasket (on FWD/transverse engines) and corroding the block surface underneath, sometimes even worse to the point of cracking a bore requiring it to be sleeved or to get another block.

Toucan Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ye they crack the liner of number 5 I think. Go well enough when working though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 If you really had to go V6, It would be 2MZ-FE for me over anything else from toyota at a reasonable price. VZ series engines are heavier and designed for lower operating rpm. No idea what box would bolt to MZ series engines for RWD though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 A 1S bellhousing to a W series box would make an MZ/VZ/GR V6 bolt up. P.S. Aahh Cheers Glen I stand corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 2GR's go good in our company cars. Would consider swapping one into a lightweight FWD toyota for max fun times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Toyota Blade Master (lulz) is pretty much that... http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-ca ... 901267.htm Although later corollas are still a fair bit heavier than 80s or 90s ones I guess... Nice having all the work done already though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 As already said. Don't bother with a 3vz-fe. The rear bank is known for sludging up pretty bad as oil wants to pool there. Short of stripping the block and getting it dipped there is no easy way of removing this shit- which is a time bomb as when it comes loose everything gets blocked up. The 1mz-fe (cheaper than 2mz?) is a much better engine. Aluminum block and variable valve timing (i think) as well as heads that breath muuuch better. I'd personally not touch any v6 from toyota. From memory (its been a while) they are all shit for one reason or another. The later ones are better mechanically but can be a pain to get going due to very complex looms and overly smart ECU's. If you want a MUCH better motor with ample aftermarket parts available and boatloads of wiring info IMO go 2jz either turbo or non turbo. Bullet proof and very smooth lovely motors. 1jz is a very close second. later versions of the 2j and 1j also have Variable valve timing which is cool. buuuuuuuuut 1uz's are popular because they are cheap and also bloody good motors. just 1uz it and hang a ferrari engine cover over the top of it or something.

Dell'orto Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Toyota Blade Master (lulz) is pretty much that...http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-ca ... 901267.htm Although later corollas are still a fair bit heavier than 80s or 90s ones I guess... Nice having all the work done already though About 150kg difference between them an an Aurion, so pretty heavy really. MZ motors shit headgaskets too. 2RZ would be cool for something a bit different (in NZ at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 What's a 2MZ come in? 2GR's are meant to be sweet - gasman on TS was chucking one in an sw20 Think they come in some previa's or other high spec people movers apparently too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 2MZ is the 2.5 from memory, they would come in the 95/96ish onwards Windoms. 2RZ is the 2.7 Hiace/Hilux 4-cylinder petrol motor from the 90s which the yanks and puerto ricans boost to shit.

Jebus Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 2MZ rips, all alloy, 200hp stock. Come in Mark II Qualises. Simon gets it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 If they bolt to a 3s bellhousing then should fit a 3y bellhousing also? Keen for a rwd 5vz-fe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 could just find the bellhousing from a manual 3.4 surf.. should fit up to an R box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yea Y bellhousing will work with slotted holes, 1/2C diesel will work also and put the starter on the other side (assuming the starter will even fit with a v6??) As per Phillips suggestion same goes for the Surf Auto if its going in a cruiser type car, could easily bolt up a standard A340 which are the lushest autos out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
