I have spent some time on a mr2 forum and found that some of them are switching out their 5sfe for a 1mzfe. For those who don't know this is the v6 engine that has been in the camry. From what I've read, in an mr2 this swap can be done as cheaply or cheaper than a 3sgte. Weight difference is about the same between a 3sgte and 1mzfe, so bad balance isn't too much on an issue. This engine will have about 200 HP. And TRD makes a supercharger for it. It looks to me to be a pretty attractive idea for those who like the N/A powerband better than the turbo and don't like the lag. Mabey there is something I missed. Is there something thats makes this swap impossible for celicas?

Perfectly feasable... it's been done already in a 5th gen (turned 5th gen ST coupe into a mid 14 second car with good driving)... There are things to be dealt with... like the steering rack, moutning, wiring, hood clearence, etc. The guy that did it floats around celicatech.com
