the 5vz has more torque, but thats about it. the 3vz is mechanically stronger, and will flow better at higher RPMs (4500+)
the 3vz redlines the same rpm as my 7a, and HIGHER than 96+ 7As (7200 rpm) with the build im hoping to bump it up to 7500 -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

i dont understand the fascination with st205 shifter cables?
the shifter cables in my st205 broke and i replaced them with identical shifter cables from an st202, so i'm sure theres no difference with your st204 shifter cables? -------------------- Mike W

E series transmissions mount the cables diff than the S series. st202 uses an e series too iirc.
the 5vz was meant for a low revving truck, while the 3vz was designed for a car, with higher rpm use in mind btw all mounts i need have been bought! -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

ST202 uses an S54 gearbox, ST205 uses an E154F gearbox. Both use identical shifter cables.

Can you explain a little about how direct the swap to the Celi is? I read all the posts so far and its very interesting, but I don't know foreign as well as American made. And say I want to drop this in mine as a daily to begin with without any major mods, mostly just want a bigger stock engine til after college and want to replace the 5s anyways, how feasable money and time wise with good transmission and everything? Just tryin to plan for the future (:

depends on what you you want to go. if you want/have a manual already its bolt on, minus the passenger mount and carrier bearing. if you have/want auto, it's going to be a little more involved
if you want bolt on mods (exhuast, intake etc) your best bet would be a 1mz, 3mz. if you want forced induction (turbo, nitrous) 3vz would be better an overall good motor for daily would be a late model 1mz with vvti -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

Both use identical shifter cables. on the usa celicas, the s54 uses larger shifter cable ends than the 205 cables. the beams cables i have in the garage from steff and dustins swap have the smaller cable ends, like the 205 ones. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
