3VZFE projects

[Boostyle3VZ]

I just wanted to see what some people are doing with theirs. Im finishing up the swap for my MR2 and after I upgrade the brakes I want to start playing with it Lets see some projects or even plans. Anybody have preferences on cams? (duration and lift)

well, I just got done with a venom vcn1000 on mine.....I'm in love, but perfomance wise...cai (real cai), vitek wires, 3" exhaust, and more money into the suspension....gotta love 5 speed options

[Killa_Kojak]

As soon as the money starts rollin in.....front and rear strut bars, H&R springs with KYBs or Tokica's, make myself a CAI that i can convert to a regular intake when the weather is bad, and swap in a 5 spd....

Mines not a 3vz but...

My new suspension goes in wednesday. Tokico's with Eibach's.
I just installed an Intake, already had W Rated Tires and a Front Strut Bar.
Next i'm getting new front rotors and pads. From there, if i can sqeeze it in and still save for my projected move, maybe some whitline sway bars.

Ultimately the cam is going 5sp and going turbo but those are a ways off. Heh, 5SFE power

things done on my 3vz:
engine was completely rebuilt....havnt started it yet scine i have no exhaust and dont want to risk backfiring from poor timing
performance sparks and wires
upgraded cap
ported the ACIS control
Knife edged the ACIS control
port ( alittle bit, not much to) and polish intake manifold
Port and polish Throttle body
knife edge the throttle body
custom ram air intake (good ol home depot helped me do that one cheap)
ported the heads to match the gaskets...so alot was taken off
tried to use the better grade oils and lubricants
Lucas on pretty much everything possible
cleaned and rebuilt the valves
baked the block a couple times
restroked and rebored the cylanders along with the standard crossthatching
mirror finish removal on the block
rotated the pistons
lighter (probably aluminum i forget) pistons
custom balanced the engine block (not sure exactly wut it does besided lower center of gravity, my friend did this at his automotive place he works at)
lots of new sensors (always good to replace them 02 sensors, saved me an extra 5 mpg last time)
HAD an aeroturbine exhaust (my entire exhaust besides y-pipe was stolen)
candy apple red block
chrome painted intake and lots of other random pieces (as much as i could before it ran out)

things ill do after my lawsuit:

Haha, thats what Im doing. Nobody doing any turbocharging or superchargers? I know a guy on the MR2 board has a 3vz in an MKI MR2 and cut off part of the intake manifold and is adding an eaton m45 supercharger. Looks pretty good so far. Right now Im thinking about adding a S-AFC II, wideband monitor, and Id like to turbocharge it after I add some cams. Heres my project.
