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?

thats the engine in the camry, solara, avalon, and sienna, my mom drives a sienna, my sister drive a avalon, they have alot of torque, in a 2700lb car i'd be quick, also isn't it an all aluminum block? to bad the supercharger is like $4000... i read some artical on a guy with a v6 camry 5 speed, and he had a custom turbo set up with a t66 turbo, if i come across the page i'll put a link......

to bad the e153 tranny's are becoming hard to find, never came in the sienna, or avalon, maybe 1/3 of solara's, and 1/4 of camry's...

Hmmm....I just ran a quick search on car-part.com and found over 200 that are available in the U.S. and Canada.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
