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?

ok spyder gs

i will not diss you on here.

think about it like this.

v6 maybe 200 hp

3s-gte 205-255 (depending on what gen) that's stock

celicas are not meant for v6's they are not big enough. in the end spending all the moo la on custom v6 parts you can have the 3s-gte up to high power potential


3s-gte's are a lot easier to swap in than any v6 and in my opinion totally not worth it 


Your forgetting the low end torque
