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.

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
