as far as i know, the Australian Spec 1MZ-FE's dont have the 'Drive By Wire' thing like in the US Spec ones

we definitely have a throttle cable , regardless of what year it was made.

even my Gen5.5 1MZFE has a throttle cable

thats because the Aust Gen4/Gen5 1MZFE's are equivilent to a Gen4 in the US

Ahh ok then, thanks for that Terry, makes life a bit easier.
I'm just not sure what to do here. I sorta like the idea of having a nice new engine in the car, but then again, i like the idea of rebuilding a 2VZ and keeping it "original". See what i can get from it. Hard choice!

I think that it's quite feasible.....BUT......it's going to be about as easy to put it in yourr car as it would be to put a 3sgte into the gen 3 camry.....

I think you should just go the way of the 3sgte...at least it will drop into the gen2 easily, and a lot better tuning capability with FI

Roots type, screw (lysholm screw), positive displacement blower. Their all the same, just different names.

Your thinking of a centrifigual blower, which is like a turbo except belt driven.

hey jet, just put a big pro stock hood scoop on it to clear the motor?

3SGTE ai!...hmm. Nah definetly not into that. V6 all the way, wether it be 2VZ,3VZ,1MZ etc. Good tip though, for the "all out performance enthusiast".

Haha, a pro stock scoop..well that might be a bit TOO much haha. Better yet, just remove the bonnet!
