JJT036 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Toyota 1JZ might be the way to go, maybe even 2JZ. Don't go for a Commodore/Lexcen V6. Toyota Inline-6s pump way more power. Josh :cool: Edited November 9, 2010 by ewt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19914afc Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I think he was talking about the camry v6, ive seen it done in a ta22 so will fit in ke70 engine bay, just the usual troubles of putting a fwd engine in a rwd car.

beerhead Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I did piles of research on the camry 3VZFE V6 idea years ago. You can use 5VZFE prado/hilux extractors, bellhousing and intake (but the runners are really long because they're truck gear designed for torque) Dizzy comes out the back of the head so you'll need an aftermarket ecu to get good fitment. 1MZ has been done, and they're a nice light motor, sign up to toymods as there's a RA28 with one swapped in, he hacked a chuck out of the block to accommodate the starter, and used an auto 5VZ bellhousing with an offset adapter plate to get the motor to bolt W58, and custom manifolds all over. They run factory wasted spark so it would be possible to run on a factory ecu. If its a burnout car there's nothing wrong with a steel block V6 commo motor, it just won't steer very happily. A 1JZ is doable, but without firewall mods it won't be a great handler either. I think the alloytec commo motor might be worth looking into, the name says it all, 180ish kg which is a big improvement on the steel block motors.

Jordanrolla Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 ive thought about this many times, an na v6 in a ke whatever would be some awsome fun. But a toyota v6 would be a fair amount of work to get in there and i wouldnt let a commy v6 go anywhere near any of my cars. I also realise there are a few toyota purist's out there but the cheapest way i can think putting a v6 into a ke70 with good results power wise would be a vg30de 300zx motor. There already a rwd engine, cheap and easy to come across and they pack a punch. I would love to do it one day but the chances of me ever getting around to it would be slim to none. Someone else do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerhead Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Yeah I've pondered that one too, big drama is how wide they are, there's an MA61 with a VG30DET on toymods and it's really tight in the bay, I'm sure atmo won't need as much side room, but nice extractors take up a bit of space too.

KE20 V6 Turbo Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Instead of useing the camry 3vz, use the hilux/4Runner 3vz. Its already rear wheel drive :y: And its very grunty! I used to drive them every day when I worked at city Toyota. Edited January 18, 2011 by KE20 V6 Turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can carry a holden V6 block and heads so they can't be anywhere near that. More around the 100-120 mark id say. Most of the understear issues ive seen with the v6s fitted seem to be incorrect spring choice and wheel alignment. Try the 3VZ out of the 4Runner.

LittleRedSpirit Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I thought the four runner vz was only sohc and really not quite as quick or worth the effort. There are different Toyota V6 motors that will rwd better than a VZ, and all alloy, but still very pricey (GR). If youre just looking bang for buck hp try an SR20. Lighter motor and plenty of power in a corolla. Even atmo would be decent, a bit gruntier than a 4age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
