Question need help with the 3VZ-FE

Whats up guys. I got the 3VZ-FE motor in my camry and frankly im gettin pissed, I cant find shit for it. I've already got a full exhaust for it with an intake but I cant find a adjustable fuel regulator to get more fuel in with the air. If anyone knows where I could find anything for it please help me. I've scoured e-bay and every performance site i could find and the shops in my area are useless.

plz help

Sorry to burst your bubble buddy, but u'll be hard pressed finding anything aftermarket, specifc to the 3VZ...

Someone makes headers for it...apart from that..i don't think theres anything in the way of aftermarket bolt ons.

theres nothing wrong with the standard fpr. i HIGHLY doubt youre making enough airflow to warrant a new one unless your old one is faulty.

why not invest in something useful? like a piggyback ecu to et you an extra 9wkw or something real.

the fuel system wont need upgraded until youre pushing an extra 30wkw+.

and i dont think you have a 'full' exhaust system. if you did then you would already know the amount of time in research or cost in paying someone else to modifing a camry.

as for your intake, remove it and do this:

full exhaust = custom made headers and y-pipe from velocity auto sports, magnaflow high flow cat, magnaflow muffler and 3" pipes, grand total of $1300.

anyway's like i said, time for a swap. or a new car.

Now don't throw the 3vz-fe out, it's a wonderful and smooth engine, you just gotta do the right things to make it better.

Have you leaned out your a/f ratio yet?

Have you tightened the throttle kick-down cable?

Just doing those two things to my Camry made a world of difference in engine response and behavior; for the better.
