Toyota Mr6 Project 1mzfe

Project MR6's Lexus ES-300 Toyota 1MZ-FE engine had more than 100,000 miles on the odometer, normally aspirated, and we ran up another 12,000, most with 5 psi or 10 psi of boost. This is a robust, well-designed modern powerplant, but the weak points must be fortified to run anything more than 10 psi boost.
