(Note: I did a search for this already and couldn't find anything about this JDM 5SFE question)

Hey guys,

So the engine on my 95 Celica has been misfiring and the cost to fix it is way too close to a complete 5SFE swap, so since my current engine has such high KMs I decided to save up just a tad more and do a swap. (Can't do 3SGTE yet, gotta save way more money haha)

Though the thing is the more available and lower KM 5SFE ones are JDM, so that is going to be my choice.

Just confirming if there is anything I should be aware of when swapping from 5SFE USDM to JDM? let alone swapping to JDM? From what I gather they are essentially the exact same engine and literally there are no differences in connections, parts etc.
Also the JDM engine I'm swapping in is from a camry since it seems I can only find 92-96 Camry 5SFE or 96+ 5SFE Camry Engines, I dunno if there are any main differences between those 2 engines?
Let alone any small differences between 5SFE Camrys and 5SFE Celicas?

So to summarize:
- Difference between USDM & JDM 5SFE?
- Anything to be aware of when swapping from USDM to JDM?
- Difference between Camry 5SFE and Celica 5SFE?
- 92-96 5SFE Camry and 96+ 5SFE Camry differences?


Also maybe just for the hell of it, any other swap options I can do within the same price range of this swap? haha

Sorry again if this has been posted somewhere, couldn't find it frown.gif


But Thanks ahead of time for any help! I'm new to swapping (let alone JDM swapping) so all the info I can get the better!

They Camry 5SFE kind of looks the same as ours, but a little different though. I'd stick with one out of a 6th Gen Celica because who knows if the wiring is different from the Camry to the Celica. It would just save some headaches.
