2001 SE V6 Manual
7 PSI

I'm not boosted, so I don't know much about that side of the 1MZ but I thought they couldn't handle more than 6 on stock internals? or do you have forged internals?

7 psi is the limit, people say you shouldnt go above 5.5 or 6. 7 usually means high hp, makes you feel like superman for a little bit then its downhill from there.

Only person that had high HP and was reliable was EricSol @ 294fwhp and 280trq.

btw, my definition of reliable is track proven and not a couple of seconds @ WOT hoping your car wont blow up. lol

edit: not saying others like Greg, JoeB, Jim, Rizal etc havent hit high hp... its just that they were different cases are each had unreal godly mods while EricSol had mainly close to OEM setup. Another person that had a high HP ride similar to EricSol's reliability record was Dats. Funny how both were silver. haha As for auto, it might have to be "gman" for a mainly high hp close to OEM Camry.

ah $hit you got me. haha, maybe i was thinking of yours richard. lol anyways, im pretty sure you remember EricSols car too since youve been here as long as i have. haha, we are oldies now

btw, i didny include your car as the post was mainly directed to 1mz's?
you cheat as your 2AZ is just monster. lol i remember when the 4cyl was a nasty 5sfe and rippmods was the only hope. ah... the good old days.

netherland24 - those are perfect numbers for 7psi - good stuff


as for how much boost the 1mz can take....I think that 7psi is fine. As long as you have the fuel capability for it. It's kind of tough to run it 100% safely on a gen4 though, I would say, since there is no way to run an external fuel regulator to rise with boost without installing a return-style system

thanks, that is maxing out everything and still running fine. not exploding

lol ya we're old, i been on this board since 02. almost 6 years has gone by so quick. i get bored since majority of everyone on this board talks about the 1mz, so i wanted to post some of my results too.

back then no one believed in the 2az n gave crap about the motor. but i plan working to build more power out of that engine or do a swap in the long run.
love my solara but been thinking about sellin it at the same time too. but nothing for certain yet about selling it. maybe part out some stuff

[CASTRO]

nooo! dont sell! youll regret it i tells ya! Just get another project and keep the Solara, its too rare and a loss to the Solaraguy site if you do. haha
