Please be more specific, what engine?
If you're looking for 1mz stuff, you'll have to get that stuff custom worked.

The four cylinders are probably a good bit easier.

But you could have some cams custom ground and your heads custom ported.

Cause there isn't a big aftermarket support.

The 2AZ have a better aftermarket than the 1MZ due to the popularity of the Scion TC. Your 1MZ has a supercharger application from TRD but it has been discontinued for a while now.

You are not exactly SOL,

Ask about the 3MZ/1MZ hybrid engine.

when you start modding the 1mz youll soon find how hard it is to find "off the shelf" parts you can slap in there.

If youre looking to mod a 1mz 3.0 v6 you need to have extreme dedication. Trust me. I know the pain :(

These guys arnt messing around, finding aftermarket parts for the 1mz is pretty tough and internals such as pistons and rods will have to be custom machined. :( But its not impossible.

Thanks Lee. It was really effin expensive! Just another example of the kinds of parts that cannot be ordered online like if we were into evos or civics eh! The welding and fabrication of the box was not the expensive part, it was the machine work to get the holes perfect for the intake that just about sent me to the poor house.
