wow, my little st really does have some potential and not stuck with just a 3sgte as my best option...... looks like i have some major homework to do cause that vid got me going lol........ what's the potential for some turbo action on the 3mzfe?

ever get around to putting it on the dyno?

Like everyone already knows, I'm not all up on cars n stuff, but, I was wondering how that car would go compared to the same/comparable 3gste...... probably a dumb question lol

dabazied: In it's stock form the 3MZFE doesn't have a high tolerance for boost, the V6 of choice for turbo setups are the VZ series. Much heavier but very strong. However, like a lot of motors, there is aftermarket internals for the MZ to make it handle high amounts of boost.

I picked the 3MZ for it's instant response, fat torque curve, high power and still be able to get 30MPG+ out of it. It's the perfect blend of power, economy and OEM reliability. Did I mention it weighs less than a 3SGTE
(I tend to sound like a salesman)

In a drag race, the 3MZ would destroy a stock 2nd gen 3SGTE w/o a doubt. A stock 3rd gen would probably beat it on the long stretch. The 3MZ kills all at take off, I still haven't found a consistent way of launching w/o losing traction.

Lagos: sorry, I didn't get a chance to go dyno it yet. Unfortunately it won't be until march/april until it's is back from hybernation.

proof?

yeah get it out on the track man im really curious about what it will run

It's winter here. The car is parked for the winter so I'll have to provide proof next season.

Lets put it this way, maybe it will beat the stock 3SGTE, maybe it won't. Who knows? I don't feel like doing bench racing. I'll report the outcome of my first encounter with a 2nd gen 3SGTE.

Track times, dyno charts, racing and all that hype is not my priority at this point. Which explains the delay to provide numbers. I always find something to improve, I'm never 100% satisfied, which causes me to postpone getting numbers.

Like for example: god those headers are restrictive, need to make a custom set. Damn my intake is only 2.5 in diameter and not cold air, it should be 3in and run down in my fender. Those tires don't hook the road, I need new rims and rubber, my suspension is stock and sloppy, my motor mounts slam when I shift, my dome light is not bright enough, my carPC is too slow, need paint, I'm broke /exaggeration

Sweet, thanks for the info. Sounds like a great choice if it'll prove to be what ya say, but I guess we'll see in the next 6mo-yr.

so i have a ST celica, and in the process of buying a donor car for the 3VZ engine, i know ill have to get a custom mright engine mount.
but what should i get for the other three?
have anymore pics??

dabazied:
I should have it out in march-april 08. As soon as the salt is washed off the roads. It's been less than 2 weeks and I'm already driving myself crazy w/o it.

stephen lee:
The three other mounts depend entirely on your choice of transmission. Use GT mounts for a S54 or use ST205 (or modified ST185) for the E-153. My custom passenger side mount is simply a bracket that hold my old GT transmission top mount to the block with an other bracket to bolt it up to the chassis.

I will have a e153 5sp V6 tranny up for sale pretty soon (I have two, and am selling one). PM me if you're interested.

Just found this now. I was just wondering how everything with the car was holding up. And do you still have the car, i see the last post on this topic was in Nov. of 2007. Also i did not see any dyno sheets anywhere. Did you ever dyno the car.

ooohhh i remember this!!!

btw, i have my swap about 30% done

Are you going to do a thread on it? I am very interested to see how it turns out. Also are you going to dyno it, or run it in a quarter mile. I am very curious on what numbers it will put up.

I still have the 3MZ celica and it's holding up strong, never broke anything even though I beat the living crap out of it for years. Unfortunately I have bought an other car (JDM 96 MR2T) and somewhat abandoned the celica.... I never took it to the dyno, I didn't really care what it put to the ground since it was mostly stock. If my financial situation improves (snow ball's chance in hell), I will take it to the track for some 1/4 mile times.

I don't want to sell it cause it's a great car and the V6 is soooo much fun but I might have to due to financial reasons and the lack of space in my driveway. Time will tell.
