Mine is a 1993 and has 4vz stamped on it (3000) on the injector cover . I just picked up a 3vz (2500) from a guy and the engine is from Japan. The differences I can see is Emissions is different so the intake needs to be changed. The injectors are smaller so the entire Intake needs to be changes as well. Anyone else experienced this? Thx
