6G Celicas Forums

Turns out a V6 doesn't make your Celica a fat boat.
1/4 tank of gas
no driver
17" rims
3MZFE + E-153
+ all my bells and whistles (amp, carPC etc...)

1220KG = 2684 LBS

The scale only weight in 10KG increments so it's +/- that number




Just thought some might be be curious to know.

that is good to know.

i always thought the celica weighed in at 2800 pounds. So with a v6 swap your making good power to weights.

Hey that's good to know. By the way, what gen is your 3mzfe engine?

I didn't know there was more than one gen. It's from a 04 Sienna, I'm guessing it's a 1st gen.

wow, that v6 would be badass as a twin turbo in my gt4. then it would be gt6

My ST liftback weighs 2409.



On that note, I wonder if anybody's ever done a 3S-GTTE?

....is that possible?

you cant twin turbo a 4 banger can you?

unless you did each turbo on 2 cylinders..

I have no idea, I was just wondering.

really thats it?? now freagin way? I know celica gt with 2.2 ltr weighs 2600 pounds dry weight, or atleast i think it does. Thats not too bad really, but i got to see what a gt celica weighs.

this is a good thread to start keeping track of what other celica's weigh with swapped engines, turbo setup, etc etc...

I guess the 2.2 is a lot heavier.

Nice.

I would probably want a 3mzfe swap vs a 3sgte.

Don't ask me why, I probably just like to say 'this b**ch has a v6' haha.

People always ask me if my car has a v6 lol.

People around here are stupid.

My GT hatch with me at 160 lbs. and 3/4 of a tank of gas is 2840 lbs.

thats not bad. my turbo 7th gen weighes 2710 with me in it at the race track

you could run compound boost onto the 3s couldnt you?, (one turbo feeds into a bigger turbo)


and my mini with 3/4 tank and me (140ish) weighs 2825 lbs
but i have most the options on my car

stock they weight roughly 1150? and your sound system is probably a fair ammount, plus its a 1st gen v6 which im guessing isn't alluminium?

A question that I have been dying to hear the answer is: will a 2GRFE mate with the GT4's AWD E-153.
I saw a picture of a MR2 2GRFE swap where he ran his custom header behind the intermediate shaft, this means there is a lot more clearance than with the MZ block. This is good news because the reason the MZ don't mate with the AWD E-153 is that there is 1CM of the transfer case that interferes with the block. Did you know a 2GRFE makes 276WHP (on a MR2) bone stock (aside from better headers and intake required to make the darn thing fit). From all the chat I also gathered that it's very feasible to turbo without too many extensive modifications, no one in the community has done it yet but it's just a matter of time.

Imagine this, AWD 3.5L Turbo V6 GT4... err GT6

Don't get confused with gens, there are 6 common V6's

3VZFE 3.0L (cast block, al heads)
5VZFE 3.4L (cast block, al heads) <--- I think there might be 2 gens of this guy

1MZFE 3.0L (all aluminum)
1MZFE 3.0l w/ VVTI (all aluminum)

3MZFE 3.3L w/ VVTI (all aluminum) <---- mine

2GRFE 3.5L w/ dual VVTI (all aluminum) <--- want

no idea about GR series, but the GT4 box is E154F

I doubt you can twin turbo a 4 banger, although I do believe it is possible to TWIN CHARGE (Turbo and a Super) a 4 banger.

I have a write up of this in a super street magazine that they did for the Scion TC using a TRD Turbo Charger and Vortex charger or something like that, I dunno. I was reviewing it really quickly to keep me busy while I was on the pot. I just know that it is possible if they did it on the TC, although, that engine has a higher compression ratio than the 3sgte, and I dunno about anything else beyond that. Not sure if that is a factor in this or not.

Twin turbo has been done on a four banger a long time ago.......it was with a civic.
