So i recently bought a 94 celica st 7afe, want more power obviously and found a 5vz-fe from a 4runner for 500 with ecm and all wiring. Was inquiring how much work would be needed to swap this in vs 3vz or 1mz. Also what transmission would i need. I have read k-esds swap but i just want to clarify if its more complicated swapping it into a st than a gt. What motor mounts would be needed, what axles, and such. If i can keep it a cheaper swap and not extensively hard ill go for it. Anyone shed some light on this? smile.gif

are you doing RWD swap? because i dont see swapping a rwd in a fwd spot. the amount you are saving in the engine you will spend in customizing. not easy, not cheap. plus probably a custom bellhousing is not going to be cheap, assuming no fwd tranny fits

come on man, you know better than that, RWD, FWD doesn't mean anything when it comes the these engines. the 5VZ has the same bolt pattern as the 3VZ which will bolt up to the S54 and E153.

the 5VZ will absolutly fit and work in a FWD celica, however, its very tall and VERY heavy. It might not clear the hood. 500 for everything is a good deal, but i would hold out for a 1MZ/3MZ. just look good deals are out there. The 5VZ's intake manifold and throttle body is pointing in the wrong direction. You could probably fab up a mix match using a 1MZ intake manifold.
