Hmm. Sounds like I should consider the 3mz. Sounds cheaper than the 3sgte.

Plus I like smooth rides.

Like price comparison, about the same as the 3sgte or more?

So it is possible. Hmm. But is it worth the conversion? I mean I can keep looking for a transmission. But just to keep save some money I could just keep the original awe. Considering like 90% of the engines come with the transmission.

But thanks for the incite. I will continue my search and wait for replies.

Hey guys, so I'm in the process of getting things in-order to due the 3sgte swap into my 94 st.

I was doing some research into the trans that works with the 3sgte, and read about the mr2 trans, however I can ever find any around and the price for that matter.

However, I read an article in a mr2 forum, not sure of the sight, but I came across a conversion for the awd trans converted to front wheel/ 2 wheel only.

Is this possible and is it worth it, plus what would I need and have to do to complete this change up.

If its possible and plausible per say.

Wow I love all the new (to me) possibilities! However what's the big benefits of the V6 swap besides 2 extra cylinders. Like how much more difficult is it to due the 6 over the 3sgte? Any advice and goto areas to find out how.

Yea so go with the performance aspect first. Gotcha

However im not gonna lie, with the new sway bars, tires/rims and coilovers, HOLY GOD, I've driven the new evolution and 370z and I have to say my girl now now keeps the inside on em all.
Anyone looking to do this set-up, I highly recommend it.

Only downsides- you feel every crack, pebble, bump, and frog (it was raining and warm, and damn thing felt like I drove off a cliff). The rear swaybar are bit of a behatch to install. ESP with rust exhaust. Lol. But the one main disadvantage is the lime green colored sway bar and the purple, yea purple coilovers. But someone may point and laugh, but i know damn well my car will stick to the ground more efficient than theirs. :-P

So back on to topic-ish, what is this I hear about the 3vzfe? I've missed some time here, and even more so when I hear of different engine for a 6 Gen. Is that the Camry's V6. And someone was able to successfully swap into a celica?

If so, that is truely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Must be a sweet little ride!

H-ey guys got another 94 St.

-flashback-

Last year sometime I had 94 st with the 7a-fe. Had basic work done. Also had a spare engine and got the rebuild kit from importperformanceparts.com with the ridiculously priced pauter rods.

Then a week or so before I got the engine in the car i was t-boned in a intersection. Insurance wrecked her, no shape for rebuilding. So my hopes and dreams shattered.

-flash forward-

About two weeks ago got me another celica st with 80k for 1300 with a bad clutch. So I got a clutch, put it in a couple hours and back to rolling.

Last week, Just got done with installing and aligning her at my work with the new D2 coilovers (-1.5 " front, 1" rear drop) suspension techniques sway bars, and 10 spoke 17" motegi rims, smoke finish; and some eagle f1 all-season (215/45zr17).

So what do yea guys think should be the next thing up. Body kit or engine performance. I'm thinking 3sgte, instead of the 7afe build up. Whatcha all think

on the toyheadauto.com it only has it for like a 71 to 77 calina and celicas, is that gonna work on the 94-99's? cause if so thats a nice price for the whole kit

oo thanxs for the reply

really what are we looking at for a price? cause i might be intrested

kwanza, thanks for the links and it helps alot, ive been checking em out. i found a complete 4age w/ supercharger, tranny, ecu, everthing. i am prob considering doing that and do a head swap. i have the nice rods.....haha....so my 7a block will be able to handle the load. now i just have to worry about tha crank holding it, but thats for the future, thanks all for the help

on the 7afe the engine id is under the top coolant hose, top right hand corner of the block, not the head, the block. on the 5sfe and the others it located above the transmission, below the head. it will give yea the engine code. hope that helps, transmission type i have not clue

I have a 94 celica ST looking for rear knuckles that are disc, preferably with the caliper bracket, junkyards and scrapyards around me do not have ANY 6 gen celi's, cant even find on ebay or ne where else

need both passenger rear and drivers rear. the whole units would be nice, brackets, where the e-brake hooks in, please

i have drums in the rear and i hate them, live in ny with nasty snow and salt, gets in there and ruins it in a matter of months. plus the better stopping


let me kno if you have anything
thnks

i dont have a problem with my engine, just want an head thats has some play with it, from what i seen from pics the 7agte the cams still have the sub gears on them, so its like still the same problem, but i am looking thru google, they might be different tho, does the 7agte head have parts readily available for play? i really dont want to dump this 7afe, ne advice.

also on the honda, i was saying it in example and it was a thought a maybe, i am looking for options for topend, from what i was seeing the k series is simialar in design to the 7a's head, might not be the same, but similarites, enough to play and build off, thats what customizing and tuning are about!!

why thank u for the info, i dont kno rotoray engines, i aplogize for the misinformation, thats what my buddy told me, however they do sell the piston kits for his engine, idk if they are pistons, might be some other component, like i said i dont kno rotorary engines.

thats agian and my aplogies, there goes my hopes again.

w/e if i can get topend, i am still gonna try to push 14psi and see what happens

yea it wasnt a problem

now i opted to buy the rods cause i when i get the turbo i wanna push the boost high, like atleast 14psi, i kno the stocks arent going to handle the pressure, thats my main concern, i kno these easily will cause they are the 4340 and a guy in my club has a rx-7 with the 2.2 turbo and bought them and he runs his car at 18 on up psi, so these dont worry me. but when i compared them these were a little bit longer, i didnt have enough sense to measure, so these might bring my stroke up and also my displacement.

i havent used anything on the engine yet, and i prob wont until i can get the head figured, so i case i wanna sell everything or return the parts.

hope that helps

i currently have one, its great, gave me alittle better gas mileage, but the header will blue after awhile. mine was great cause it came with the 2-1 down pipe, just had no spot for o2 sensor on the downstream,

its suppost to give yea about 40whp gain, but i havent it tested yet, i am gonna go with the turbo kit thru them, t25bb, thats suppost to have 280 hp gain on top of engine horse, and thats only at 5-6 psi of boost, the kit, being that its all forged and the rods are 4340 steel, i am gonna try for at least 14psi boost, but i might end up selling the engine if i cant get nething topend....thats the ONE thing holding me back

i currently have purchased that kit with the hv oil pump. the parts all seem like quality, not cheap or knock off, however i have not ran my engine yet with them. had engine bored to the 82.5 and also bought the rods for the extra 749$, as soon as the snow melts i will be swaping engines out, but currently with the bore i went from 1778cc ish, give or take a couple thousandths to high 1800 cc so it gave me about a liter size up, i would at least recommend getting a acid bath ( hot tank i do believe machineist lingo) and cylinders honed down.

but i havent seen ne track time with the kit installed yet

forgot to add, the kit is suppost to give yea about a 40hp increase, but thats according to the page, i will get her dynoed when i get it swaped, as long as i can figure out topend

it has taken me about 1 month to do the parts, my cousin actually owns a engine shop around here so all said and done i had the engine bored the 1.5 mm over for 160$, that included the acid bath, but take into consideration that he gave me deal. but i have the web site for the internals

http://www.importperformanceparts.net/impo...pek-toyota.html

its number 27 on the list, gives you the pistons (u specify what size), rings(specify comp ratio), gaskets, wrist pins, main and rod bearings, timing belt, freeze plugs, thrust washers. i ordered the pauter rods, it has a link in blue along with the turbo kits. i opted to get the high velocity oil pump cause of the turbo i am gonna do. it cost me 1000 for all that and about 130 shipped.

i havent bought the turbo yet cause i am worried about the head. but the link is right in the box, but they have like 4 differnet options in there, i would go with the extreme kit, thats what i am gonna do, it comes with all the little extras and intercooler, i would like to get a air to water, price for the basic kits is actually very nicely priced, when compared to other names like HKS and Turbonetics(not sure if turbonetics makes one for the engine). the kit is garret which is a really good name, very reliable.

but after said and done with the bottom end it has been roughly 2100 dollars into the bottom end thats including shipping on the parts and machine shop work.

i have spent about month installing parts, taken so long cause i work and go to school and all the good ****, but its better to take your time.

ooo almost forgot to, i pulled this engine out of a corolla out of a junkyard, didnt want to take mine out of my car and wait so long, need a car to get me from places still, lol. so that engine had 120,000 miles on it, it was in decent condition, starting to get a little flaky, but the acid bath made it look like it was just dropped out of the mold. also made the parts install go easier, cleaned everything very nice

the engine was only like 120 plus 50 bucks on a core, didnt turn one in, prob not, lol

but yea i ve been to toyotacelica.com, celicatech.com and finally here for some advice on the top end.

i would like to see if a K series honda head might work, most of the B series have the intake and throttle bodies on the left of the engine instead of the right like the 7afe, so there is a prob there, but i kno that the k series engines have alot of aftermarket parts especially topend.

let me kno if yea have any other questions

I have a 94 celica ST looking for rear knuckles that are disc, preferably with the caliper bracket, junkyards and scrapyards around me do not have ANY 6 gen celi's, cant even find on ebay or ne where else

need both passenger rear and drivers rear. the whole units would be nice, brackets, where the e-brake hooks in, please

i have drums in the rear and i hate them, live in ny with nasty snow and salt, gets in there and ruins it in a matter of months. plus the better stopping

luke

came from toyotacelicas.com and like noone over there seems to help ne more.

Just to make sure, this is more a question and some help, i hope i am in the right section.

ok i have a 7afe, i have completed everything i've wanted to bottom end. i had it bored from 81 to a 82.5 mm, forged wiseco pistons, pauter rods, rings (9.5:1 comp) high velocity oil pump, bearings ect... i am adding a turbo kit, looking at garret t25bb.

ok with that mentioned, i cant find a single thing to where i can boost my top end. i was looking for cams with longer durations, performance springs, basically the works. so i am wondering, do any other heads fit on the 7afe, whats needed for the modification, machineing, ect.., i heard the 4age fit right on there, but i am still coming up empty handed looking for parts. and its pretty close the 7afe head. i would need all the SAFC and prob E-Manage, wiring harness and all that.


i am wondering if any honda engines like the K series heads might possibly(way out there idea i kno) fit. if not i want something that i can work with and play with.


i have a crap load of money and time into bottom end, i am in desperate need of help and i dont want to ditch it cause its a dead end
if this is posted in the wrong forum i aplogize and please re-direct
please help

so please any ideas, or sites would be much helped
