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

I have done a 5vz swap in my mr2 and it didnt fit without a custom engine lid. You need a custom mount bracket that bolts to the v6 and then a custom piece to bolt that to the chassis, a e153 transmission with v6 flywheel/3sgte pressure plate/clutch, and a custom mount for the intermediate axle bearing mechanically speaking. Let me know if you have any questions about the 5vz. Eventually Id like to put one of my 5vz's in my 94 celica but it will need a custom manifold maybe more. That day is pretty far off given my other projects.
