		Only minor cosmetic changes were made from the original 1978 VB Commodore to the updated VC, but the engines were upgraded to 'blue' specification which meant a 12 port cylinder head on the 6 cylinder engine, and decent electronic ignition on all engines.

		Toyota manufactures motors from the very small up to large industrial diesels, so this is only a partial listing of the more common engine families.
		The design of the motor is basic Toyota from the 1980s, with cast iron block, a one-piece main bearing cradle, aluminum heads and a timing belt driving the intake camshafts, which operate bucket lifters with adjusting discs.
		Toyota has built numerous four cylinder engine families over the years, but one that has been in use for quite a long time is the R-series.

		The ORS engine conversion kits utilize the ECU from the 3.4L donor vehicle; this requires the use of an A340 automatic transmission from the 3.4L donor vehicle.
		Earlier Toyotas were designed to have the exhaust routed down the driver side of the vehicle.

	Holden VZ Commodore (2004-) August 2004 Car Review - CarPoint Australia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The VZ cost Holden $104 million in engineering; $61 million more investment in plant tooling and at least half a billion on the new engine plant, so the flow-on effect could have been a lot worse.
		The VZ Commodore has a powerful safety story to tell, much of it brought about by the new electronics that come with the engine management on the Alloytec V6 and the fitment of the latest generation ABS8 anti-lock braking system from Bosch.
		This engine has real guts and real glory and linked to a responsive and useable gearbox delivers great flexibility in the lower and middle gears, with a surprisingly raucous engine note into the bargain.

		The VZ Calais is therefore in the same class as the collectable VL Calais with its premium Nissan engine and the VS Calais with its new generation Ecotec engine.
		Where the VZ Calais is the executive show-off, the Fairmont Ghia is understated to the point where you could miss it.
		The new engine is a disappointment when it needs revs to deliver its best and Holden hooked it up to the old exhaust system so it sounds the same as the old one.

		The engine is happy and docile enough to maintain a steady 60 km/h cruise in top gear (at a mere 1000 rpm) but it doesn’t really respond when you squeeze the pedal.
		Changes to the engine include a revised camshaft, free-flow induction system, new ECU calibration (to suit high-octane fuel), electronic throttle control and a split dual exhaust that reduces backpressure by around 25 percent.
		The VZ Monaro can be purchased with a 4 speed auto or a 6 speed manual (as tested).

	Cross-town rivals: Holden vs Mitsubishi - Top Stories - CARSguide storypage
		In powerplant terms, the 380 throws its punches with a 3.8-litre single overhead cam V6 engine with four valves per cylinder, while a 3.6-litre all-alloy V6 has the same number of valves but double overhead cams drive the SV6.
		Where the 380 makes up a little ground on the Holden is in torque – 343Nm at 4000rpm (DIN) for the 380 versus 340Nm (ECE) a little lower in the rev range, at 3200rpm.
		Ford uses the DIN standard for power and torque measurements, and Toyota uses SAE for the Camry, so it will come down to a seat-of-the-pants feel if these four are on your shopping list.

	The Australian: Holden VZ Commodore [September 08, 2004] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Holden's full-sized car has a new V6 engine but while better in every way it's not the great leap forward that might have been expected when a 2004 design replaces a 1962 one.
		While clearly more refined than the old engine, it lacks the aural crispness of the similarly configured engines in the Toyota Camry and Mitsubishi Magna – and it's not leagues ahead of the straight six in the BA Falcon, another engine which can trace roots back to the early 1960s.
		One useful standard feature on the trip computer of all VZ models is a digital speedo with large letters 2cm high.

		When Drive tested the VZ Commodore Executive/Acclaim in September, we had anticipated an emphatic, comprehensive response to Ford's BA Falcon.
		The VZ SV6 is its answer to Ford's domination of the small but significant home-grown six cylinder performance car market with its XR6 and XR6 turbo.
		Unlike the base models in the VZ range, the SV6 is an impressive drive and excellent value for money.

		The Toyota Camry is a huge success in the Middle East, Holden is building support for its Chevrolet-badged Commodore exports, the Monaro-turned-Pontiac GTO is finally starting to fire in the US and Mitsubishi even had a short-lived run with Magnas in the US.
		It beats the Toyota Avalon, which is looking more and more like a taxi-only champion, but cannot match the all-round strengths of the Camry, Commodore and Falcon.
		That's why Toyota is pushing the Sportivo model, and working on a 2006 model that will have more personality than any previous Camry.

	GMInsideNews Forums - Holden New VZ Commodore Road Test
		For all the VZ's engine and transmission work, it's those small changes to the Commodore's front suspension that are most immediately noticeable when driving the new car.
		But the big news for VZ is the Alloytec engine itself, which replaces the hoary old OHV 3.8-litre unit that was first used by the VN Commodore 15 years ago.
		In the VZ Commodore, the Alloytec is a real smoothie, slurring especially well through the new five-speed automatic transmission, but also matching up more than satisfactorily with the Aisin six- speed manual gearbox.

		Designing the mechanical parts is easy, the know how has been around for as long as the camshaft.
		But they would still have to figure out how the ECU was designed, and work out how to replicate the technology in a way that was compatable with thier own engines, and then they would have to design a cylinder head and block combination that suit the requirments of a variable lift cam.
		In an enigne with variable cam timing you should not notice any change over point as the cam timing is continuosly adjusted as the engine changes rpm.

	Carsales - Future Models
		HOLDEN will replace the trusty but tired V6 that has powered Commodore since mid-1988 with not one, but two all-new Australian-made V6s in August, when the facelifted VZ Commodore is launched.
		Holden is also yet to reveal details of the V8 engine and transmission line-up for VZ and WL models.
		While the reveal of Holden’s two-tiered V6 engine and (auto) transmission strategy disproves some media theories that Commodore would continue exclusively with either its current four-speed auto or a locally-built unit similar to the sequential-shift four-speed auto found in Falcon, it could also prove to have valuable marketing and cost-saving advantages.
