3mz with 1mz head's questions

[chronoti]

i cant remember who did it or find it searching, but i remember someone took the 3mz block with the 1mz heads.

so um any matching needed to mate the head to the block.
what head gasket to use.
what timing belt to use.
mounting issues
any other issues?

ya so a bearing in my bottom end just went out after 210k. time to come back with more power.

i have knock sensor issues!

is there any diffrences with the 04 3mz and the 96 1mz knock sensor?

i'm using the 04 sensors now. i'm only getting a error with the bank one sensor. (p0325)

so knock issue (sounds like it might or could be exhaust leak)

bad sensor

or sensor mismatch.

3mz sensors and 1mz are not the same. The 1mz screw into the block and the 3mz sit on a bolt that screws into the block..... So which one are you using?

Also, I see under your avatar it reads you have the 3mz in your gen3... or is that just wishful thinking so far? Any pics of your process?


Why use the 3mz sensor if you are using a 1mz ecu? The 1mz Sensors fit into the 3mz block.

[chronoti]

it's in and running with the 3mz knock sensors.

well when it was being put together it was wishful thinking that the 3mz sensors would work about the same. all wire connectors hooked in together so we weren't too concerned.

the main thing that confuses me is it is only getting an error with the bank 1 sensor. maybe i can do tony's trick (single relocated sensor) and run it off only the bank 2 sensor........


only other issue is an exhaust leak and that annoying p1780 code.

I would definately do the relocation of the the sensor..... Any pics or vidoes?? How does the car pull?

Which Gasket did you use, 1mz or 3mz?

[chronoti]

nothing yet. pull wise not much more but i'm in retarted mode now with the sensor error.

1mz gasket set.

oh when i'm not poor again i can finaly bolt on my charger.

Threads like these make me so damn jelious.

One question though, why swap to a 1MZ head? Does is flow that much better or what?

[chronoti]

ecu control.

the non-vvt 1mz cant control the 3mz heads, cam sensor in a different location and he cam triggers are different as well.

also other stupid random info! from 94-04 that i know of same cam profile.

also we used the 1mz intake, because not dbw (ecu has no support) and not plastic.

1mz t-stat housing (more sensors)

What did you do with the EGR?

[JvR]

Does anybody know here if a 1mzfe mainfold fit on a 3mzfe.
Why i ask this, i thinking to buy ( next year) a lexus or camry with the 3mzfe and i want to keep my supercharger. (rx300 or rx330 etc..)

[chronoti]

yes the 1mz manafold fits 3mz. but the 3mz is dbw. so your going to have mad drive issues setting it up. the tb dont carry over. oh and if you can i'm willing to shell out a few bucks to borrow the pully bracket.

egr been in the trash for YEARS.

[chronoti]

so 3mz knock sensors are way diffrent. and my engine had a burnt ring.

so $1200 later.

hauls ass.

stock computer right now but in a week or so i'll have the piggy back in to fix any other issues.

month or 2 if my northstar dosent blow i should have my charger on.

[bigbird]

freekin sweet man, i cant wait to see this thing done.
