After thinking about it, I really dont want to step down to a 2rz. I need all the extra low end torque I can get sometimes, I move around a pretty big trailer that is right at the towing limit, and it's pretty bad down low as is.
I see LCE has the kit to delete the balance shafts.... I may have found a donor 3rz somewhat locally (2 1/2 hr drive) It's out of a 97 T-100... This should be fully compatible with my current 3rz I'm ASSuming.... I plan to swap my 01 head, studs, MLS gasket, cams, etc. To the new motor. Do some freshening up on the new motor, all new seals, gaskets, new rod and main bearings, and a thorough cleaning.... Swap my flywheel and clutch to it. Swap my sensors to it. I would like to remove the balance shafts while I'm in there. LCE has the kit for 99 bucks, has anyone here done this with real world results.
I'd like to delete because I dont care about the vibration, would like extra power. I noticed the flywheel and pulley upgrades, I can't imagine the removed shafts, I hear they're heavy. Also it's parasitic drag, so it can only help driveability and power.
Does anyone make a windage tray and upgraded rod bolts for this motor... What about bottom end studs, or other strength upgrades.... I'd like to stay with the stock pistons and rods for now. I plan to run around 16 psi daily. I'm not messing with anything higher than that for now.
