I'll pop you one in the face for heresy like that.

Smaay, looks fantastic.

As a fellow 7A owner, I concur. Then again the 5S isn't much better. Soo, USDM Celicas in general are heresy. tongue.gif

Disagreed. 'Tis a fine engine, it has its charm. Certainly reliable and stout engine, just quite limited. It could be more miserly with fuel, but for people that spend most of their time at 45 in the city, 105bhp is more than enough.

Corners are my fun.

Charm? It has as much charm as a drunkard. For the amount of power it makes you'd think it'd get better fuel economy. It looks twice as fast as what it really is, it's terrible. It's sad when a mini-van of all things is faster than a "sports car".

well i fixed the axle issue. i had to grind off about 1/16 " off the tip of the drivers side axle to get it to seat all the way into the trans. im not certain but i think i have an aftermarket LSD in there or maybe a factory. but its not the same as the MR2 because i dont have the bar through the middle. i can see some sore of place with a hole through it inside. and both wheels turn in the same direction off the ground. i am using MR2 turbo LSD axle stubs. im also using ST185 outters and no spacer, so far no issues.

^^^^ thats so sexy! thats what im going to do once i get the swap certified. I have a complete 3MZ from a Sienna. i just need to get the VVT 1MZ intake manifold, throttle body, and the computer. how much power are you making by the way?

after driving my 3MZ/1MZ hybrid i can tell you that this is so much faster than my dads 2002 5 speed solara. it is also much torquier and faster than my 5S-FE with the turbo system on it. Once i get all the bugs worked out ill be fabricating the supercharger.

Oh by the way my cruise control is also working. im so happy about that.

got the ST throttle cable in on saturday. OMG full throttle lights the tires up in 2nd gear and im on 17" KDWs! this engine is awesome! i need to put a resonator in the pipe it sounds like a freaking honda straight pipe though. my O2 sensors should come in today. once i get those installed i should get STFT and LTFT data.

These swaps are starting to look more and more appealing. Plus, there really isn't much of a weight penalty incurred with the 1MZ, right?

What about mounting height, and center of gravity change? Also must add in the variable of the 3S' TMIC or FMIC, since that's the closest swap to compare to (in terms of cost/power).
