I was at my dad's workshop today, sanding down my parts for my mr2 gettin ready for a touch up. My 2 lil brother doing my hardwork
  As i was walkin around on the other side where theres a junk yard. I found a Camry that has a V6 motor with a 5 speed tranny.   Can I swap it with that motor? and if not could i use that tranny? Since it does have longer gears? This post has been edited by My2Celi: Feb 11, 2006 - 7:05 PM --------------------  <--- I miss :'' ( |

Yeah, you can swap it. It's preferable to use the 5 speed from a Camry in swaps. I'd like to see a V6 Celica. The MR2 guys have done it countless times. The 5th gen guys have too. Check MR2OC for info.

The v6 camry tranny is much stronger than
the 5sfe. I remember reading somewhere that the v6 tranny was a better option for a 3sgte swap. --------------------  98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |

I dont think its a better option at for the 3s at all. It takes literally 10 mins to change the MR2 tranny to FWD use and its designed for the 3s. However, tahts off topic. Youd be a pioneer doing a V6 in a 6gCelica.

That camry with 5speed v6 is very very rare .. at least in a 4 door camry it is 97-98 model and was only available a year or two .. Most 5spd v6's are in solaras ..
i have a 1mz and a 3mz and findanza flywheel for v6 application ,ecu and just about everything you need to swap in a v6 just don t have a cheap chassis yet .. i drove a TRD solara which had every option TRD made for solara and with s/c it fun but FWD only creates a lot of wheel spin and you have to shift very fast .. i would have had this swap done a long time ago but when you also own a ST205 it is hard to commit money to another project plus buying a house always gets in way of projects plans ..!! TTE had a project car at Essen motor show in 04' it was a Toyota Avenis with 1mz twin turbo'ed and awd .. made over 300hp and was a station wagon but i would love to have as daily driver .. anyway the biggest issue concerning this swap is with a doubt wiring ... if you commit to this swap you better love the smell of hot solder smoke as you will have a lot if it .. i would recommend doing a lot of homework on wiring before even starting swap .. -------------------- Old guy with the toys

The only differences are the shift linkage and some MR2T transmissions came with factory LSD. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] 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. |
