Hmmm

<$100 / pair for materials and parts...

Replaced the 1MZFE water pump and timing belt on Friday night.

Camshafts

Sent out an email last week to five Australian camshaft companies requesting regrind services for the 1MZ cams, currently have had three positive replies and one "Nope, we cannot do them". One of the replies even suggested a place to get custom shims made to match the clearance removed from the base base circle. It looks like I might have to pull the timing belt back off and ship the cams to a few of these guys for measurements so they can provide me with what profile they can be reground to and how much it will cost

Then hopefully we will have a camshaft solution for the 1MZ other then looking for a defunct company in the USA or trying to find 2MZ/3MZ camshafts...

omg let me know.

Gotta move house in 2 weeks time, will remove the cams after that and send it to all three companies to take profiling data from them.
Will let you know after that, might see if we can get a group buy or something happening. I'm sure there are 2-3 other 1MZ people on Toymods who might be interested.

Ersh, and I only just got the timing belt back in >.> lucky I can do it in 20mins now

Very cheap

Just finished moving house on the weekend, decided to christen the garage tonight with some AW11 + 1MZFE goodness :D

The crappy stock Camry exhaust fitted. Flows like a rock and is restrictive as AIDS, but it's an easy bolt on solution. Should be sweet to remove in the future and get a good 20HP improvement.

SW20 Turbro muffler to go with the 1MZ, should flow enough for the 3L :)

Lifting the AW11 up to slide the 1MZ under her.




Motor under her

Back on the ground

Removed the boot so I can climb around the back without damaging the boot

Lifting the motor into position


Enough space over the gearbox for a GT35 in future :D

Will try to get the drive shafts in tomorrow night and start aligning it all up to work out where I need to make the mounts.

Good work!

about time!!

you reckon you can get 20hp out of extractors/

I had a look at the ports on the head, the crap-ifolds and the y-did-they-do-it-like-that-pipe and with the horrible bends, restrictive tube sizing and bad intersect angles, I reckon 20HP is a sensible figure.

Will see if I'm right in the future when I replace the stock setup with my own design.
