hey,
just in case anyone is interested i will have a hybrid 1mz/3mz available soon .. (SOLD !!)


i have a 1mz (vvti) and a 3mz both with less than 2200 miles on them..

3mz is missing some parts but 98% of 1mz vvti swaps over to 3mz ..

it will have 3mz block and internals (which can be bored to make a 3.5l) and 3mz heads (100% identical to 1mz except for softer valve springs ) with vvti intake and ecu ..

have all these parts for it as well

manifolds
lower mainfold and cat (from v6 solara , help make a custom set up )
map sensor / charcoal canister from rear of lexus es300 (on non vvti it is in engine bay)
tach from solara (bolts in to guage cluster ) (not the face just the tach unit )
clutchmasters clutch
fidanza v6 flywheel (never used )
tons of misc parts


This swap is really easy compared to a lot of other swaps but still not recommended for a first swap.

use the same mounts as 3sgte once in just fab up pass side mount adapter to mate up with pass side ..

use oem lower manifold to see what mods need to be done clear rear crossmemeber

use same axles as 3sgte swap also will need to mod rear intermediate shaft to work with bearing carrier (see mr2oc)

will need to work out radiator issue as i believe it is oppisite on v6 compared to 5sfe camry unit might work.

60% of swap will be getting wiring worked out .. just take time and do homework ..

i have done more swaps than i can count but never a 1mz swap .. i have had all the parts for a mr2 swap for years just never had time to finish .


i seriously thought about keeping 3mz and doing a twin turbo v6 set up in my st205 but with a lot less time and money i can make over 300hp no sweat with 3sgte .. besides i am sure i would have been asked why i jacked with st205 so i will stay with orginal motor ..

anyone interested in motor i am in cincinnati area .. will ship anywhere in US ...

good luck swappers ...!!
