I didn't bore anything out. I bought a Fidanza unit for a Solara V6 and bolted it on.
And then for it to bolt up properly to the transmission (using the S54) you will need a clutch disk with the same contact surface as the Solara Flywheel. My solution was a Stage 2 Kevlar clutch kit from South Bend Clutch for a MR2 turbo that had been custom splined for the S54. A $700 solution. Or you can get an OEM flywheel from a 2000 Camry V6 on the cheap from car-part.com and run a standard Celica GT clutch kit. You'll have less contact surface to the flywheel and it may slip, but it can be done that way. I don't recommend it though. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

No, the clutch was $340, and the Flywheel was $300 something.

ok this is probably a stupid question but do I need to completely rebuild the motor since it has 2almost 200000 miles on it or could I do a light rebuild for now as long as the compression checks out ok
an the do a full complete tear down an rebuild before I try to turbo been told they are a tough motor so not sure what to do I've heard just change timing belt an waterpump an new head gaskets an it'll be good for another 100000 but just want more opinions -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy

Better safe than sorry. I'd at least replace plugs, wires, dizzy, gaskets, water and oil pumps, thermostat, and timing belt.

Tear the motor down and check the bores for damage. If no damage then put it back together with all new gaskets. If the bores are showing vertical wear then you should have it sent to a machine shop.
I understand you're wanting to do this on a budget, but buying a mystery high mileage motor and assuming it's fine seems crazy to me. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

I'm not turboing this motor. Im just getting it in and running. i can find a cheap bare 3vz to rebuild for turbo later.
plus i drove my 3vz for a few thousand miles so i know its condition -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

ahh ok well depending on how it seems to run I may drop it in for the simmer an rebuild over next winter
I reaffirmed little more again online last night why couldn't I run a 3sgte flywheel and a s54 clutch disc like people do with a 3sflywheel swap using a s54 the way everything read a 3s2 flywheel will bolt on the 3vz -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy
