3.3L V6 DOHC 24V VVT-i SFI... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

What's the name of the 3.3L V6 DOHC 24V VVT-i SFI engine & does any1 know how far in HP/Torque it has gone with what mods?

Mikey21 · 10-27-2004, 06:34 AM

The engines name is 3MZFE.

I haven't seen any real engine mods on the 3MZFE. With

225 HP @ 5,600 RPM
240 lbs.-ft. @ 3,600 RPM

there's no real reason to spend on engine mods. I've installed a performance muffler on mine. I have plans for some type of CAI system, a JET ECU re-programming and maybe a supercharger in the future.

Has anyone done a dyno on the stock engine, or seen one on the internet?

Mikey21 · 10-28-2004, 06:52 AM

Why would you do a dyno run on a stock engine?

Do you believe the factory might be a little generous with their numbers?

I haven't seen any dyno numbers on any Gen5's modified or not.

Some aftermarket part companies do dyno runs to prove the effectiveness of their product against a stock car.

I'm just curious to see how effective the engine is at pumping out torque/hp at various rpms.

Perhaps you should research jet's "engine programming"

If by 'engine programming' you mean buying a resistor at ratshack so your ECU reads your air temps as being lower, than sure, it's 'engine programming.'

next season you will see a crazy 3mz coming from shiftgate performance, and featured in my new project car. i cant say what we are going to do with it, but it will be nasty. once you all see that, you will all want some 3mz upgrades...

I want the 3MZ upgrades. They are almost none out their for us to buy. I'm buying what I can though.

By the way. Can't wait to see that Nasty 3MZ project car.

I did research it thouroughly. Everyone here tends to think that it's all hot air. Well I've talked to them and they agreed to have me drive down to their shop down in Huntington Beach California.
The turn around time is about 2 hours to re-program the ECU. I told them of my desire to have my car Dyno'ed before the re-progam and again right after. Thay said not a problem.

My understanding is that what they do is re-program the fuel/ air ratio to make more horsepower taking into account the mods that you've done to your car.

They seem to be reputable. I'll hold my final judgement till next spring when I do this.

Haha, lets go dude! What kind of numbers are you guys looking for? Hows 650+ sound to you?

I'm assuming you are planing on putting this into an MR2 as well, Mr2Untouchable? Whats your real name?

Gimme an email at: brandon@sargdesigns.com

Let's talk.

There is always a reason to spend on engine mods.

I'm with you.

I only stated that for the average joe. As you see I want a TRD super charger if one ever becomes available, a CAI and a ECU reprogramming. More ponies makes me happy.

***zoni*** · 10-28-2004, 11:18 PM

3mz turbos will be out for next season.

04sev6camry · 10-29-2004, 01:39 AM

just to let u know, jet is a good company. my wife has an 04 gmc sierra and i got the jet's ecu chip for it and it made a lot of difference, the throttle responce was a lot quicker and there was a noticeable power increase too. i plan to get that jet ecu upgrade for my camry also. post some numbers when u get them please

Mikey21 · 10-29-2004, 04:08 AM

I will surely post those numbers when I get them.
