I was told it was a very easy swap to make + that motor makes alot of tq & TRD also makes a super charger where you can get 9pounds or boost! N/A-198HP F/I-238HP |

What engine are we talking about here? And it really depends on the configuration and positioning of the engine. If its a inline 6 like a supra then like anyone here will tell you it probably isn't going to happen. If its a v6 then I dont see it being to much trouble. |

It's the v6 from the mid-late 90's Camry/Solora. I've seen the writeup on the 5th gen that did the swap and they were very happy with it. Since then I've lost the page for it, but I'm pretty sure that it's someone on celica.net. I believe they said it was about the same price as a 3S swap.

There's a lot of custom work involved... and you need to know what you're doing. There will be wire work, custom fabrication, and relocating some accesories. The TRD s/c most likely won't fit... the V6 is a fairly tight squeeze...
Engine code is 1MZFE btw... shares the same series tranny as the 3SG series... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

yeah it can be done and isnt super hard but isnt as easy as a 3s swap. search celica.net's forums to find out about it.
also some guys drop a v8 into a 5th gen alltrac converted it to RWD. o and they also twin turbo'd it. |

why waste the money and add the weight? just pop in a 3sgte.... it would still rape a v6 and v8 and save gas too

FYI... the 3SGTE isn't much lighter than the 1MZFE. All alluminum... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

The only info I have is based on common sense... ;] I'm willing to guess it's actually lighter also... The only thing that makes it bigger, is it has 2 more cylinders, and has a slighty larger bore. All other components are actually smaller (shorter rods, smaller crank, etc...) What I do know is... the K20A2 weighs a lot less than a 7AFE... cause the K20A is all aluminum (all forged internals also). -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

is it posible to drop a jetta VR6 in a 6th gen. that would be decent. 180hp, plus its hella light, i know a guy who put one in a cabiro, and its just rediculously fast. since i'm probibly stuck getting a new engen that is my first choice.

Sure it can be done, the answer to that question is always yes, The correct question to ask is "How much time and money will it take to make it fit?" and the answer to that question should scare you in this case. This post has been edited by 97GTinKC: Jun 1, 2004 - 9:39 PM |

I talked to the Adrian(did the swap). he told me that it wasn't all that hard. He and his buddies did it himself and they aren't mechanics. He used a 97 solara engine. 200hp and torq. He also said it is lighter than the 3sgte b/c of the all aluminum. I think it cost him like 6 grand when all said and done.

Well the V6 adrian Used had 200hp and 200 lb/ft. I really think that it would be a very close race. Very driver dependent on outcome IMO. |

The 3SGTE has a much better torque/powerband... FYI: V6 5 speed Camrys and Solaras are only clocked at mid-low 15's... with the Celica's weight... they's be a second faster at most... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
