this someone tried this you know to make my engine hibrid

terrastrife · 05-12-2006, 02:56 AM

be easier to swap the whole engine.

and cheaper.

and more reliable.

Well it depends, what are the HP and TQ specs on both the diff engines?

Hajoca · 05-12-2006, 06:09 AM

Non VVTi block is different too.
The VVTi moves with oil pressure.
Swap whole engine.

hey could be getting at doing a "frankenstien" swap. Example, in hondas you take a 2.3 liter non vtec bottom end, and mate it with a 2.2 liter Vtec top end. The final product has the Torque of the non vtec and the Horsepower of the vtec. Hence, LS/VTEC conversion. For all the honda haters out there, its badass!!!!

or just swap a k20 into a hatch w/ itb.. everyones been doing that nowadays.

yea the k20 is a BADASS vtec motor, ITB's are pretty tricky, expensive and they arent the easiest thing to maintain. Were talking toyota here, though lol

Just go with a 3MZ swap. It'll blow the 1mz vvti or not in HP/TQ.

WestCoastff · 05-12-2006, 06:07 PM

what was the 3mz in?

Nad1370 · 05-12-2006, 06:13 PM

04 Sienna's and some 04 Camry's 3.3 L

WestCoastff · 05-12-2006, 06:16 PM

Would there be troubles mating the tranny out of a gen4 to a 3mz or has someone done it already??

trickyazn · 05-12-2006, 08:10 PM

i want the new 07 xle camry engine/tranny into my gen 4.5 4 banger. that'll make my car a half sleeper.

imagine a 4.5 pulling on a g35 or a evo on the freeway

I thought "LS/Vtec" referred to the B18 non-Vtec head made into a Vtec head. LS as in the Intergra LS with the non-Vtec B18.

I hate Honda but if I had to get one, It'd be an NSX

Second from that.. Probably a nice F22C with ITB and some nice Skunk2 cames with a VAFC controller.

LS/VTEC = LS bottom-end, VTEC head. It could be a B18C1 head or a B16A/B18C5 head.

You'd have nothing that could control the VVTi circuit even if you made a custom oil feed. Unless you swap the ECU, but nothing would plug into each other due to different years/harness/pinouts. All that work for pretty much nothing.
