For those looking to upgrade the internals for the 1NZ-FE, the majority of cost to upgrade is the connecting rods. Until recently, they needed to be custom made. Crower has recently added the 1NZFE to it's parts catalog, but still runs a hefty $750.

I noticed Dezod had K1 Technologies (a Carrillo company) do a production run on rods for the 2AZFE for $421. I've asked Paul if he could do a similar production run for the 1NZ, and he said it would be a possibility if enough people show interest.

The thread is here, on page two:
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...=asc&&start=20

His response was:
So I am now making a list to gauge interest. There is no financial commitment at this point, but I'm assuming at some point there would be a prepay prior to the production run. No timeline yet either, I'll ask about turn-around. Please sign up if you have a genuine interest in a more affordable connecting rod and would plan to purchase in the next 6 months to a year or so. let's get this thing started, with not a lot of people building the 1NZ yet there is a lot of fun to be had in pushing up the HP numbers.

I will also be fielding this on ClubxB, so if you post there please let me know you also posted here so I don't count you twice.

This should be posted on some Yaris threads too! I think there would be some interest over there. DONE.

I know I started this thread, but my build is moving along now as well, so I ended up ordering the Crower ones from Dezod.

Sorry guys, the 1NZ builders are too small I think now that the 1gen is out of production. Just gonna have to suck it up and use that tax rebate on the crower ones.

Unless there's a major flood of interest soon, maybe close this thread?
