JBM engine different ?

[mox]

Is there any difference with JDM engines ?

I have a '92 camry with the 3vzfe and tomorrow I'll swap the engine for one with lower millage and that doesn't need a piston rings + gaskets + etc.. job to be done

Looks like the life of my engine is ending.. it's smoking a lot of coolant and I got a deal at naganojapanese.com for a 3vzfe with ~40-50000km (mine have 318000km on it)

I was wondering.. is there a lot of difference between the jdm (importated from japan) engine for a 3vzfe ?

It seems that it have a BIG difference for civic and others from honda.. but I have never seen someone being proud to tell to people that he haves a jdm engine in a camry or any toyota..

I'll bring the laptop and a webcam in the garage and do a little video of the swap.. Ben-RR will help me with that and we should get done by friday.

After that, the only thing missing will be a turbo installation by Ben-RR.. We will try our best to do that for the meeting in august

i believe your old 3vzfe is built in japan too

[mox]

Yeah, it was built in japan..

I was refering to "jdm" as an engine that was used in japan and had different emission control and other rules like that..

Is there a difference or it's the exact same thing ?

it should be turboed well befor augest man because there is a list of people needing that turbo for augest as well....godd luck ith the swap its not hard at all. Just label is my best advice. As far as the JDM engine if its a good deal get it but dont get it just because its JDM i have seen no difference....except that hard to read writing Lol!

i'd check if it has egr and other emissions systems, i don't think there's any power difference other than the removal of those

For the turbo, I hope it will be installed as soon as possible

Labeling: GOOD IDEA !

Here is a pict:
In the garage, things are starting to get off.. tomorrow, we should remove the engine and we will take a lot of pics

Today's updates:



Sorry for the quality, i took the pics with my cellphone.. tomorrow the battery for my digital camera will be working and I will have better pics

For today, we focused on getting all the stuff we need to work in the garage..

After Ben-RR left, I continued working on the car, there is not much stuff hanging on the engine, most of the stuff is removed.. tomorrow we should have enough time to install the new engine.. friday will be for the final touch-ups

i really want that 3vzfe turbo prototype once its in production!!!

$600CAD for a V6 Engine???
is that suppose to be that cheap??? my car has 185,000km on it and also it's time to have timing-belt change... I remember last time i change timing-belt was like $400CAD @ Toyota dealership... i just went to ToyotaParts4U and it was only like $60US??? WTF... is the installation expensive or what???

[mox]

600$Cdn for the V6 engine, is the engine itself

The timing belt change is 250$+tx at the dealership

I also keep the old engine. I will slowly rebuilt it and get the heads ported, cams, etc..
