I'm not sure if this question was asked yet or not, But is there enough room in the celica engine bay to swap in a camry V6? The V6 has a lot more parts available for it (in the U.S. atleast) than the 3s-gte, and being a bigger engine seems like it would have more potential. But beyond the debate, could it work?

If it is the 1Z what ever, it should definitely be able to fit since it put very well with little trouble in the MR2.

You will have that nice v6 sound with lots of power when turbocharge.

I would perfer that swap than the 3sgte since the engine weight the same or less.

The only problem is the F head.

Turbomagazine have yet to push the mr2 swap to over 400hp.

Actual, there are using a supercharger + turbo.
