What pistons and shafts will fit to 1Z

[cardiag]

Now i have 180hp / 400Nm at wheels but i need more power.
What pistons from PD engine i can fit and what crank/cam shafts ? I need trusted info what parts can fit from PD engine or some other .
Thanks

No pd crank or camshafts will fit. The pd crank has an oil gear and the 1z block has an intermediate shaft driven oil pump. The pd camshafts can only fit a pd car as they have the injector lobes. I'm not sure about the pistons. Most people put ALH pistons on the 1Z as they are a bit more heavy duty. I think you would need pd connecting rods if you used the pd pistons because I believe the wrist pin recess in the piston is narrower.

You could try the AAZ camshaft. I think it has a bit more duration then the 1Z cam.

You got to 180hp so i can't imagine I can really be of much help but...

i used a 130 PD crank, pistons and rods in my 1Z but theres alot of work involved and i wouldnt do it again if i knew how hard it would be

ALH pistons are the best you can get that will be a direct replacment, i rekon there as good as PD, they certainly look the same. i would say stock pistons and rods will see you just over 200 BHP. AAZ cam does make a difference too
