A 3.0l V6 would keep up but just barely. Actually I like V6 engines very much. My uncle (car dealer) is driving a 2.0l V6 Mitsu Diamante and the sound and torque are very nice. He also has a Lexus 2.5 V6 Fourcam (Not twin cam) and the car is unbelievable. Unfortunately in my country you need to pay $40,000 for custom duties for any car above 2.2l so you can see why the 2.0l cars is the only thing we can get. At least we can import directly from Japan. tongue.gif

and the v6 will beat the 3sgte stock

what is your reasoning with that?

i dunnno what magazine it was but they threw the V6 into a turbo mr2.they tested the car before and after the swap and im pretty sure the v6 was faster.

It was in Turbo and Super Street I believe... and they dropped in a Supercharged 1mzfe... not an n/a one. Anyways... their goal was to slightly reduce ass-weight... which the SW2's had a lot of... Those performance magazines rarely specify performance ability anyways. I'll still say, the 3SGTE would be faster...

well they had the swap in alot of magazines, but they twin charged the v6 in turbo magazine, the v6 was lighter, and they pitted the car against thier other mr2 turbo. the v6 had higher hp and of course more torque, but it still lost because they decided to use stock cams with the setup.. ps: they used it just turbo'd for the test because they were still having heating problems with the twincharging system..

honestly if they changed the cams the v6 would have beaten the tuned 3s. stock for stock they're about the same, 3s edges the 6 out, tuned, they both have about the same potential, i think they're both fun ideas smile.gif

The 1mzfe is all aluminum so the weight is about even.

v-6 in my expeirinces are hard to work on and dont rev very high without something breaking i had a 91 maxima with a vg30dett swap done i think the car must have set me back a lot i lost count after like seven grand and three trannies and two thrown rods later....i got rid of the car she was fast but hard to keep running i think toyota v6 would be about the same and why even swap if you cant drive it hard? i just think four cylinders are a little more reliable and easier to work with just my .02.

this is still apples and oranges... the 1MZFE is not a performance engine. It's an econoblock(boat anchor) just like the 7afe and 5sfe. the 3sgte is a performance engine. it's obviously going to be stronger.
