1MZFE engine debuted in 1992.
|
The 3vz-fe was created for the October '91 rollout of the gen3 Camry platform.
It was use in North America in 92-93. The 1mz-fe didn't see life until the '94 Camry platform, being the worlds first OBD-II Compliant engine (Tho not fully in 94-95, because it has OBD-I Toyota style connectors - non compliant).
The 3vz-fe continued as the worldwide Toyota 3.0L v6 with a powerbump to 200bhp 204lb-ft in '94. Depending on the market you talk about, the 1mz-fe replaced the 3vz-fe between '95, and 97.5.
In '97 the 1mz-fe recieved minor updates, the biggest was a slightly re-designed intake giving +10bhp.
In '99 The Windom/ES 300 got another new intake with dual throttlebodies, and vvt-i cam/sprockets.
The Camry stayed with the '97 design until the '02 model year.
Sorry, I'm anal retentive LoL!
