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?

I tThink tthe only real problem your going to run into is, finding a low milage engine. Were as most import engines have under 50k.. a american one on average would have over 120k or so. Unless you came across a good deal on a wrecked one. Its prolly going to run the same cost, and have less power, and worse gas milage, but all n/a and us legal.
