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?

sure there is... Its called boost  as for the swap yea you can do it... but is it worth it.. nope! heres why - 1st off.. different subframes due to different engine families. 2nd - when you have ne kind of a "V" motor there are 2 of almost everything besides the block - what that means is when you try and upgrade the engine you gotta buy twice the stuff - you wanna turbo it? - probably gonna have to do a twin set up or a really creative piping lay out - would be easier to supercharge it. that is why alot of V6 imports dont have alot of performance support - Take the honda accord for example - honda has more aftermarket support than NE other company right? try finding parts for the V6 accord... there really isnt nething besides the basics - atleast thats how it was about 6months ago when I was looking into it. 4 cylinder motors are less expensive to modify than v6 or inline 6 motors thats why you see all kinds of civics running around - there cheap to do up. In this case the 3sgte is the best way to go... think about this - its a direct swap, base wHp is between 180-280 dependin on what gen and type of 3sgte you get - thats pretty compreable to ne V6 I can think of... maybe not some of the inlines but the V's yes. there are some race teams in Japan that have swapped out the 2jzgte for the 3sgte in there supras... that says ALOT. Also the 6th gen HKS celica last time I checked holds the 1/4 mile top speed record of over 200mph - Thats fast... really freakin fast. as for parts for the 3sgte there are tons of them.. you just gotta look for them - dont expect to find them at apc or some crap place like that.. and when you look for parts try looking for 2nd gen MR2 or 5th gen alltrac parts cuz u'll find more. and if you still cant find parts then try this link --->this is heaven --------------------  99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |
