hey
anyone know about what a 1MZ-FE costs? this is the v6 engine found in 94-01 camrys and 99-03 solaras. anyone know where i could get a good deal on one? im looking for a project this summer and i dont have the money or time to get a whole new car with the v6 and my plans to turbo are just not working because my 5S-FE is too high in mileage and just not worth to build up.
basically i plan to get a v6 port/polish the heads and add the trd supercharger (hopefully with an upgraded 6-8psi pulley (only at 4psi now). 6-8 psi is good for close to 270-290 whp i believe.
this may not happen til around next xmas or later depending on my money but i am currently saving up for this. i have pretty much stopped modding the engine of my car. im just going to upgrade brakes and do maintenance to keep the i4 together.
if at all possible i would like to just buy the v6 block and heads. i dont want the intake plenum. since i will be getting the s/c i wont need it. ill take new or slightly used. also the v6 5sp tranny is needed.
plans:
trd s/c with upped boost
5sp with TRD LSD
y-pipe
blah blah blah
i have finally decided on this project as i believe the v6 engine costs somewhere in the ballpark of 2000-2500 if less...the s/c is currently at 2500-2600 but in a year it is expected to be around 2300-2400.
if i cant get this project to work out (probably wont...nothing ever seems to work for me) the cam is going bye bye and im going for 240s or subarus.
