Toyota ring gear strength

I did and i will for awhile. The only thing i see with this is the inherit lack of gas mileage compared to a 3.4. I know your the 3.0 god so who knows. The engine swap wont be for quite awhile so ill have time to decide wether i want the turd polished or flushed.

Crossover elimination and rebuilt injectors will give you the fuel mileage you're supposed to get out of these things. I've got 3 people that have reported 1.5 - 2.5 mpg gains from crossover removal. Rebuilt injectors might polish that up by another .5 - 1.0 mpg. Those pesky 3.0 injectors have been getting real bad the past few years and everyone likes to pretend the problem doesn't exist.

When injector(s) need servicing they'll typically be clogged on these engines (as opposed to leakers), thus delivering less fuel. The Toyota 3VZ-E uses a group fire system which alternately fires a group of 3 injectors. Combined with only one HO2S to read the exhaust stream, this causes one lean cylinder to cause the other 5 cylinders to run disproportionately rich to make the HO2S report a "good" running engine. The result is super shitty fuel mileage from just a single low flowing injector. Most of the sets of injectors I send off to get rebuilt usually report back with a single injector down by as much as 20-30% and all the others randomly off as well.

Crossover elimination + rebuilt injectors = Teh win!!!1
