Supercharged V6-Swapped Toyota MR2 - One Take

This 1993 Toyota MR2 features a CA smog-legal supercharged Toyota V6 engine swap, smaller supercharger pulley, larger injectors, and mass-airflow meter. It also has coil-overs, straight pipes, and a grin-demanding whine from behind you when you put your foot down.

[@DeployableMango]

This driver has the exact right mentality; it's not all about HP numbers and 0-60 times.. but rather about how the car makes you feel. Love the build.

[@rudytaneloruxy9491]

DeployableMango considering the wieght 300 hp should give it a repectable actual # along with the feel. Personally I think 5 or 10 to 60 is a more important # in regards to how a car feels ( if it hooks good) if your not looking for drag racing and the launch needed to be effective. The car isn't riced out , the wheels are understated but awesome and look perfect on this body, the body style is amazing and timeless and at 10k, its fucking awesome and presumably it is reliable and relatively fuel efficient. I call it a 10 on the win scale in style plus bang for the buck.

[@bliglum]

But it IS about the HP numbers and times... Because if this car had 90hp and 16 second 0-60 times I doubt he would love the way it made him feel.

[@NewtypeLex]

bliglum Right, 90HP in a Supercharged V6, genius.

[@nutterpc]

Too true man. It's not always about numbers & speed. If it drives right and gives you a smile, thats good enough

[@fiksefant]

My first thought too. Excact right mentality. Especially when its about a daily ride. Fantastic sound!

[@RegularCars]

Love the SW20

[@danialmahdi69]

You should let him review your AW11

[@cra_55]

Vagabond Falcon on One Take when?

[@NoypiTexan]

I had a feeling

[@seantaylor2683]

+carburetor55 - When it's cooling issues are fixed :P

[@GRPLiningServices]

Most dangerous car in the world eh? Idiot RC.

[@bray6510]

Those evo wheels look fresh on that car. Very nice build sir

[@Pseudonym394]

I personally think they would look great on lots of cars, they've been in my top 3-5 "favorite wheels I've ever seen" ever since my mom got an Evo in 2004. It's a shame that Enkei doesn't seem to have made them except for the Mitsu OEM, in a perfect world you could get them in other sizes.

[@frankgile1996]

Probably the best choice of a wheel for the Evo, almost never understood why you'd swap them off an Evo for something else (besides size reasons, of course)... I agree, this build's really cool (or shall I say "wheelie-cool"?)!

[@garf117]

Poor man's Evora. God the mr2 was an amazing platform. Need a 4th generation!

[@JPasdfjkl]

Boosted Toyota MR2 = Lotus Evora 400 Boosted Toyota 86 = Porsche Cayman Boosted Toyota Supra = Ferrari 488

[@garf117]

JP idk about those past two. Mid engines are something special. And the 488 is totally different than a Supra

[@ollieredick]

You may be in luck, I think I heard something about a new MR2

[@Bitoy004]

Idk about the evora too. One thing is it is a budget build, but Evora 400 has 100 HP more plus it is so light and sorta has a back seat.

[@TBustah]

@MyName IsOllie You likely heard a rumor, or just somebody fanboying out. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Toyota were to announce a new one. We know they're working on a new Supra, and they applied for a renewal on the trademarks for Celica with the US Patent and Trademark Office about a month ago. Some people have speculated that they'll just apply it to our version of the next generation 86, but with Scion and the tC gone, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a new FWD sportster in the future (especially with Honda bringing over the Civic Type R). The upshot is, a new MR2 is far from impossible at this point. I could even see them doing some platform sharing with Lotus (whom they have a working relationship with) to expedite the process.

[@cra_55]

lmao He got a Camry motor to sound like a damn Lamborghini Countach

[@stereolababy]

a lambo? really?

[@zhemin]

Yes, it actually does sound like a Countach lol

[@jwilh15]

I'm sorry, have you ever heard a Countach?

[@cra_55]

It does genuinely sound like an old V12, which isn't surprising for a loud V6

[@stereolababy]

don't be sorry for being a douche

[@blazecarr]

I love that no matter what, Matt always shares his professional, genuine opinion on what he thinks can be tweaked to make your car just that much better. So thank you Matt for not being afraid to tell the owners straight up what you think can be improved! Awesome ride!

[@TrashHeapCustodian]

This is NOT helping my MR2 desires... Fuck this thing sounds awesome.

[@DeeJayAdverb]

trust me

[@countdrugula]

More MR2 sounds to not help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZrQh6mgetCsebM

[@JimV90]

Not mine. Lol

[@mrvapor4791]

It's a sick car bro.

[@dennisbryan7522]

Troggie42 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5bEpWCMlqtjaZo v6's all sound weird

[@TheMinuteFamily]

Im a big fan of the Evora and a big fan of this guy's smog-legal build for UNDER $10K! What?!?!?!?

[@Tcflohr]

I'm always more impressed when someone goes through the California BAR hoops to legally swap motors. Respect.

[@natethalhuber8971]

MR2 is always the answer.

[@DeSjeft]

It doesn't work like that! ;)

[@GR71393]

I tried doing a build like this so many years ago, came to realize I didn't have time or money. But it's awesome seeing this being driven. Not too many MR2s are going this route anymore. Everyone wants to do a Kswap in them now a days

[@hotchalupa]

Dat SC whine... This is gotta be one of my favorite MR2 builds, yet. I love the idea of a fully-stock 3.0 plus TRD SC kit. Just the right amount of fun, while still appeasing the smog gods.

[@conanmagruder]

Makes you think there might be more stuff hidden in the Toyota Racing catalog. Seems like an entertaining car.

[@clutchthepearls3062]

Not really. All the hidden stuff is just roots superchargers on random V6s in different platforms.

[@auto_kevin9731]

This V6 swap is really good, honestly. Great choice!

[@bassbusterx]

Holy crap I've thought about this swap before, it's good to see it in action

[@caribbeangtr8077]

Great project V6 Camry in a MR2. Driver's comments are right about the tuning, as it could be optimised. Nice budget too. For $10,000 its good value for money. Friend had one of these but the V6 was built with good rods, pistons, cams, ARP stuff, turbo and standalone ECU. Made an easy 900 HP he said and lots of torque. These V6 have lots of potential, and they are the best swap for the RWD conversions too. The 3SGTE turbo engine of this car is very potent too. Enjoyed this video.

[@FalconXE302]

In Australian, we had the TRD Aurion (Camry) using the 3.5, and it was supercharged from the factory. 241 (Engine) Kilowatts all through the front wheels. Models were around 2008

[@joshisnot11]

This is the kind of car that I love. Unique, beautiful, and that sound is just incredible. WAAAAAAAY better than I would've expected an MR2 to sound ahaha. It sounds like a spaceship with wheels! Love it.

[@batmayn]

matts honest constructive criticism is a high compliment. he doesn't comment like this on junkers. he's trying to help this guy make his car even better, and that advice given free is valuable!

[@dickie8184]

Spot on. As he says it makes him smile. The that beats making it stupid hp, and not being able to use it. Also nice standard looks.

[@1compaqedr8]

Really surprised the owner agreed with Matt that the engine is related to the 3.5 evora when this mr2 has the 3.0 older Camry v6. 3vz or 1mz 3.0 is being used here.

[@adityasaligrama2744]

1compaqedr8 It's a 1MZ, the evora is a 2GR.

[@Jaredscott89]

No, he said "like" a budget Evora. Doesn't mean it literally is.

[@btownballer27]

2gr Fe is found in the camry and the sienna. Allegedly the motor bolts directly to the trans and makes excellent power. The 2grfse makes even more power and bolts right up and thats found in the Lexus gs/is350 and rx350

[@rohansmith3962]

not allegedly, it bolts up no problems. Look at Frankenstein motorworks channel for instructions. The FSE ECU is unable to be hacked to disable the immobiliser.

[@industrialdrummer44]

FYI: I've owned x 2 NA MR2's that didn't have power steering from the factory. Pretty rare, but they're out there. And GREAT CAR, BTW!!! I'm on my 6th MR2 and I'm such a fan. Currently rocking a beautiful stock '94 Turbo. Cheers from Cleveland~

[@Jorge-Tamacas]

Great car! The MR2 always has been one of my favorite cars from the 90's in this case. Nice job done with the car. Matt, as usual great video! Keep going that way

[@saucyp123]

It's so crazy to see what the wildfire did to this area... Awesome car though!

[@GetUpFalcon]

Bushfire - best thing to happen to the bush!

[@gme1775]

tst is best when you give feedback on how to make the car better. Really awesome to hear your perspective given how many different builds you've had seat time in.

[@RamblinAround]

Seems like a nice daily driver...it sounds great!

[@bruc850]

I bought a 91 5sfe 5Speed a month ago, lovin it considering the reliability of these motors despite their lack of power, the handling is amazing

I never used to like these but now finding lots of wantage for one! Great looking and sounding car!

[@ericwaltrip6184]

This is the 1mz-fe 3.0 motor from the 90s-early 2000s Camry it made 188hp I think the supercharged ones made 220-240whp. The Elvora S I believe had the 3.5 2gr motor with 275hp roughly before the “S” supercharger model.

[@ddanter30]

Well done! I really love the fact that this is a daily driver and that some care was taken to make this car fully street legal with respect to emissions. I live in Cali, and that task is easier said than done!

[@kennethporter992]

thanks for review this and the other ones Matt. I've been thinking of buying one and swapping as a project and your questions to the owners really help

[@mickeymang6]

Im sure someone already mentioned this but. Its an electric hydo pump for the steering rack. So still an hydraulic power steering.

[@justjoshininjapan700]

They also didn't "all" come with it either. Plenty of models came with manual steering.

[@mr2marc]

josh gaither like every single Canadian mr2

[@pieboymartin7858]

Mine has a manual rack

[@lsh3rd]

Matt says, "awful lot like an Evora S engine" and judging from the comments people hear, "It has an Evora S engine". Please, people.

[@Korokukanas]

Great build! MR2's have so much potential 😎

[@sydemoid]

Matt, I would also like to suggest a lighter crank pulley (they were being made by NST performance at one point), water meth injection, and a 255lb fuel pump (or higher depending on the injector size), with those mods I've seen that V6 put down about 350-400 HP when properly tuned- However the bottom end can't handle that amount of boost (7-8 psi) for too long. Also since it's a 1MZFE, he could swap the bottom end with a 3MZFE out of a Lexus RX330, which is more stout in stock form. and an overbored Throttlebody, No need to change the ECU in his case....

[@NatVirgo]

That’s the complete opposite of what he wants with this car…

[@Jack9788]

"...and the widest rubbers possible" "Does she rub?" "Yeah when she's in the mood!"

[@pladderisawesome]

man, the 2GR doesn't get enough respect, when dressed up correctly it runs well and sounds great

[@TheStretch78]

I really like this, not overly modified, love the balance, great platform! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@gettcouped]

Amazing video and an amazing owner. Can't believe he did everything himself and on such a tight budget. Brilliant!

[@e3srn]

Matt you need to do a K swapped MR2, those are crazy

[@iphone202020220]

BoostedBoiz Kyle already has one, Making around 500whp.

[@sidewaysandsmiling59]

You must be new here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpKaZ5uXgKibnMk

[@miskone1044]

lol that's a k swapped miata?

[@e3srn]

SuspiciousBento That's a Miata, lol. Look at some 800hp+ MR2's on 1320video.

[@skitzofranicfreak]

That's just the JDM version of a LS swap

[@Agenttaco-s17]

I just died when Matt called it a Mister 2 xD

[@iLupi]

Shane Saunders if I ever get one that'll be the license plate right there XD

[@22mikelwho]

That's it's nickname..

[@ToraxReborn]

Gosh the mr2's stance is so good..

[@JPasdfjkl]

I'd take Matt's input and opinion on a car over any other car journalist

[@megolito961]

cmon what about chris harris or james may both are geniuses in that aspect.

[@megolito961]

james is known as captain slow, but really he is an incredible driver and very VERY good at driving fast.

[@jeremywhittler8591]

Such an under-rated platform. Love these cars.

[@holybatfart]

The Evo wheels look pretty good on it.

[@2_2_4_3]

Interesting, but cmon how did u not Dyno and tune this ? That's a mandatory must.

[@JPasdfjkl]

CARB.

[@2_2_4_3]

JP Cali sucks for us .. word

[@bwxmoto]

He said why in the video

[@czook812]

watch the video because he answers this question

[@thatpersiandude7386]

You can't remap the factory ecu on v6 Toyotas, I tried to tune my Aurion/ camry v6 and I didn't happen

[@farson69]

He can still tune it with the stock ECU, just needs a split second wideband controller.

[@jamest6850]

its so funny how the V6 camry engine is actually an awesome engine.

[@kylethestyle]

He's so dead set on making it smog-legal, but the car should fail a safety inspection due to no amber front side markers, no red rear side markers (looks like JDM tail lights that aren't DOT approved), and an aftermarket steering wheel removing the driver's air bag. California is stupid.

[@gildardo]

There is no light/reflector inspections in california. Only if a police officer notices and gives a shit about it. I just make sure that all my lights work . old post, but still

[@SuperHoneyOil]

@@gildardo true, but same with SMOG after you get the car approved once. Especially since he does the work himself and said he's comfortable with wiring, swapping an ECU with a flashed tune isn't unfeasible. If he gets pulled over and the cop is a dick, he'll have to fix everything else and swapping an ecu at that point makes sense. If the whole car isn't CA legal then he may as well make his daily more fun.

[@MrSlowestD16]

Regarding the stand-alone in Cali... For '93 the only thing that needs to happen during SMOG as far as the computer is concerned is that the check engine light must come on at start-up then shut-off once started. No scan, no plug, no nothing, for '93 it's all sniffer based. I feel like there's gotta be a way to show that CEL on start-up with a standalone - I'm sure it depends on the company, but the requirements aren't hard. It's not like '96+ where you have to worry about a whole OBD-II protocol and what-not. Just a check engine light flash!

[@jo05dk]

It def. looks like it would benefit from being setup with a softer suspension, but other than that: Love MR2s. Love this car :)

[@MylesHSG]

JohnnyNr5 I have BC Racing Coilovers in my Mk1 MR2 and they are not forgiving at all, but the feeling you get from them is worth it.

[@07wrxtr1]

Agreed. BC Coils are cheap, I could never get mine just right on my wrx. Personally I'd just pick a different coilover and bite the bullet with corner balancing.

[@MylesHSG]

07wrxtr1 I paid $1000 for my Mk1 coilovers. BC Racing are the only decent ones available for the AW11.

[@07wrxtr1]

Mine were good, a lot better than the megan racing ones I had on another car, but, I just couldn't get the results I wanted. Then again, it was an 07 wrx, which just wouldn't handle the way I wanted it to no matter what!! I'm sold on the idea of Ohlins/KW3's/Teins with edfc if I were to modify the 370z's suspension.

[@marcos9885]

I`m in the MR2 community and although I own a first gen this is the first time I hear that the second gen had Electronic assisted Steering... from Factory..

[@justjoshininjapan700]

Marcos Gustavino cause it's not haha. The guest was incorrect. It's electric-hydraulic and not all of them had it, lots of mr2 also had manual steering.

[@marcos9885]

Yeah, that was my nice way of saying the statement was incorrect, I`m sure Farah also doubted from that but he played along hehe

[@mzondi1970]

I have had a gen 1 S/C and a gen 2 na and loved them both. Great car. I bought a solara new with a manual and S/C off my dealers floor. He always had the cool stuff

[@infidel900rr]

Love these cars. Used to have one, wish I never sold it - time to start crawling through craigslist. ;/

[@dmclaren]

Sounded great on the drive off.

[@paulmcadam6825]

Watch this in Guyana South America. I'm the proud owner of a sw20 MR2 Limited JFK spec...great video!!

[@tojiroh]

Dammit, it's like you have a direct link to my mind! Sweet build, but I'm still in love with that Caldina swap.

[@SubaruWRXspdManual]

Love 2nd gen MR2's. This is a very clean sweet example with a nice swap. Id love to drive it.

[@chasehearst4766]

props for trying to set him up with a potential dyno/ dyno tune.

[@harmonyhomeremodeling8322]

Out here in pittsburgh there is a shop doing 2JZ swaps in the mr2s.

[@mobius-1503]

Daang..this thing sounds lik an air cooled porsche 👍👍, awesome

[@CrappyCar]

Is that a Sola Luna shift knob? Had one on my S14 240sx, loved it. Great video Matt, appreciate you throwing in some feedback.

[@goheat77]

The first time I saw an MR2 was when I was a kid in the early 90s, in the back of a super Nintendo box at a sears counter. Apparently in the picture it was rallying coming off a road jump and the wheels airborne. It was white too

[@BlagoP]

The steering is electro-hydraulic (instead of an engine driven power steering pump, it's driven by an electric motor), it's not like modern electric steering.

[@thewakz]

No wonder why everybody wants them. Get hydro feel but runs it off the charging system.

[@THEDo0rs]

Been a while since I've checked in on Smoking Tire videos.. what a awesome vehicle to get me back into it :)

[@Stinger430]

So refreshing to see a car without tv screens in the interior. Sweet ride too.

[@OvAeons]

man i miss T tops...

[@C0D3A22A22IN]

Dat E30 in the back though can't wait for that one

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

That build seems like it's very well put together, and it looks and sounds great. This guy really knows what he's doing. So much envy. Also, Matt is too soft.

[@dylan4972]

Nice car and build, MR2 getting love over in the U.S.

[@airenesivad2975]

This guy at first before hearing him gave me the impression ok here's another one of those self-righteous build anything for speed #@&%. Boy, was I wrong he got this build perfect 👍 awesome job and much much respect on this beautiful home built street legal performance beast.

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

Loved the look on Matts face after he tells the guy he should put it on a dyno.

[@abbysapples1225]

I would love to see you drive a car with a LS-V12. If you ever get the chance, please record it for us. Thank you Matt. :)

[@SarahnTuned]

Soo... built 3SGTE or V6 swap? Which is the best route?

[@TheSmokingTire]

Sarah -n- Tuned that black car I drove a couple months back is the best one I drove

[@pgf202]

3SGTE = baby 2JZ

[@jdalzell3354]

Gen 4 3sgte no need to build it. 2gr will make about the same power but its more then double the cost to swap.

[@darxcide7375]

pgf202 in what way shape or form? because they use Toyota designation GTE

[@bunkaaa8726]

I see you in every TST comments section

[@authorlogitech9721]

Wow one take upload on friday, what a nice surprise!

[@Mantenner]

This is so cool, kind of like a 90's Toyota version of the Lotus Evora

[@imdevonur]

Matt says he should go to a specialist in set up and....dudidudiididi....he always has the best advice.

[@Shakshuka69]

The panel gap on the driver side of the hood would drive me nuts because the rest of the car is so perfect.

[@MountainTomb]

Not all MR2s have electric power steering. Some do for sure, but not all. Mine is a manual rack.

[@GrecoRoman123]

Best looking MR2 generation in my opinion

[@WeaselBurrito]

I am really surprised that he got that thing through the smog ref. I did a ton of research into doing a V8 swap in one of my trucks (1UZ into a toyota pickup) and even though the rules are more relaxed for trucks, it is still a heck of an undertaking. The rules (that are very vague) prohibit modifying the factory exhaust up to the outlet side of the cat at all, you also have to use the stock intake tract and airbox. And then there is the transmission regs. Some refs will green light trans swaps and auto to manual conversions, others demand that the factory trans from the donor car be utilized. In the end I decided I will be doing a pre 75 truck (smog exempt).

[@threadoflife]

It’s called move Cali sucks! Lol beautiful state terrible leadership.

[@davidross2427]

I GOTTA HAVE ONE..RIGHT NOW

[@matthewmontgomery31]

Try to do a review on a alltrack Celica. Turbo.

[@matthewmontgomery31]

Regan Kelly .They are actually starting to import them from Canada and Japan now..The right hand drive ones.

[@dha588]

The ST205.

[@raymondnewbill2748]

I had an ST205 somebody went through front to back right before I bought it!!! Like EVERY nut and bolt and bushing was done. It was simply amazing!!! HUGE skid plate that was thick underneath for some proper rally madness, plus tokico gravel suspension. I spent most of my time on dirt roads lol, also drove it through the winter. Did an autox even where s pro rally driver who races in WRC brought his actual rally STI, trailer and all. Winter autox with snow all over the track, I beat him by 0.3 seconds. I LOVED That car!!! It was super straight, just had alot of rock chips on the front....

[@bubarowe]

I prefer the st185, can't beat pop up headlights!

[@raymondnewbill2748]

bubarowe I had the 185, the 205 never came to America, I was drunk last night and really thought I got the number right lol

[@thesillyhatday]

Awesome car. You need to do a MK1 next!

[@marcusmizerak]

Sounds fucking awesome!

[@hwystar_4584]

Love the color. Nice creamy white. Very cool car good performance!

[@geethsan1567]

This is a great build! I love it.

[@LockieNZ]

Some SWs came with no power steering at all. I used to have one with a small Momo steering wheel. It's one way to get a good arm workout! The non power steering racks are rarer than gold hens teeth though....

[@esfitnesspro2455]

Oh shit! I either saw this car or a another white MR2 with those same Enkie's yesterday at a courthouse in Indio CA. What are the odds.

[@jasper221176]

I know, the knock sensors are holding back the engine...

[@kevinmaitland438]

Me and my brother had an rebuilt 4age in a 1986 mr2 t top it was a fun car thought about going to the 4zge supercharged motor and doing a head build and pulley upgrade never got alot to it though

[@michaels.8244]

A lot of people go with BC racing coilovers & im over here trying really hard to trade these used ones I got pulled off my 03 maxima for some lowering springs. Man I really wish I had $ to rebuild these things. Seems like a lost just to trade them away. But I need some lowering springs for my ride badly. Well, I need a lot of things for my ride badly. New breaks, tires, Valve covers installed, new cat installed, abs sensors & tranny speed sensor. Also new wiper blades, & a paint job. Man hell I just need a whole new car 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@justaddafan]

"Electric" power steering isn't entirely accurate to describe the car. It uses an electronic motor driven hydrolic pump. So it's still a hydrolic system.

[@6spdkeg]

The last one Matt drove had an aftermarket seat that was using off the shelf hardware to bolt it in which makes the seating position suck for taller people.

[@JDMK1DD17]

Ayyye there we go... back to the good stuff... love this car

[@gaberon1]

Matt seemed to be in a good mood today. Actually interested in the person's car as opposed to I see u for 10 minutes and that's it

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I don't know what brand it was, but my son put a brand new to the market supercharger on a 1991 NSX. It was putting out 400hp with a bunch of other mods and still California legal. The supercharger was approved by CARB but he had to carry the paper work in the car because the company didn't have the stickers for the unit yet.

[@TheSmokingTire]

Abunai One that sounds like the Comptech blower. Very popular mod for the NSX. The Clarion Builds NSX I drove for this channel has one

[@rowboyto156]

Wait now you can make it smog legal with a camry motor only. I recall reading the dmv stating that the engine, trans emissions hardware and ecu must be from the same model to make it ref legal

[@steve_shec]

u mother pancit! No it has to be from a car thats the same year or newer

[@rowboyto156]

Yeah i get that but from what i read it has to be a camry transmission also, cant mix match parts to pass smog. Example, h22 swap to a eg civic hatch with b-series trans will not pass state ref so how was his legal?

[@rowboyto156]

Exactly my point, the v6 camry had the mr2 manual transmission adapted to it. how did he pass state ref

[@rowboyto156]

Read the transmission part www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/replace.htm

[@rowboyto156]

Acureyt so what your stating is as long as the original transmission is being used i can swap any motor in and pass state ref

[@rockenracing1996]

Oh I can't wait till the E30 M3 in the background

[@CalebBaker500]

The evora has the newer 3.5 liter v6, not the old 3.0

[@bubarowe]

That swap has been done plenty as well. The motors are considerably more expensive though. The 3.0 vvti engine is still all ally and actually accepts the blower more happily as well. A friend used to race a mk3 roadster with a 3.5 and the TRD blower in the back. Somewhat of a weapon, if a little twitchy!

[@MountainTomb]

I misspoke, re-watched and he does in fact say 3.0. Definitely way different than the 2GR-FE

[@sparkyenergia]

There was a 3gr engine that is a 3.0ltr but Its not exactly easy to come by. Also he said 1999 engine so that almost certainly makes it a 1mzfe engine. From my reading the 1mz really fails completely if you try to push the hp up. The best version of it was in the lexus rx330 if I remember correctly. It had dual throttle bodies on that engine so I made more power down lower I think? Don't push the hp it will go bang.

[@adityasaligrama2744]

sparkyenergia The RX330 never had a 1MZ. The RX300 did, the 330 was a 3MZ.

[@BigNatorStrength]

Yeah that's def a 3vzfe out of the older camry 2grfe the 3.5liter comes out of the newer camry and Lexus and of course the evora
