6G Celicas Forums

pm'd

I still have the 3MZ celica and it's holding up strong, never broke anything even though I beat the living crap out of it for years. Unfortunately I have bought an other car (JDM 96 MR2T) and somewhat abandoned the celica.... I never took it to the dyno, I didn't really care what it put to the ground since it was mostly stock. If my financial situation improves (snow ball's chance in hell), I will take it to the track for some 1/4 mile times.

I don't want to sell it cause it's a great car and the V6 is soooo much fun but I might have to due to financial reasons and the lack of space in my driveway. Time will tell.

i'm considering getting that transmission to use it for spare parts but depends what you want for it
lmk

no shipping for a fellow canuck (in NB aswell)?
I would like to have the sunroof switch/dome light and the center radio + shifter trim and the passenger side fender liner if possible.
Let me know, thanks

scratch that, I just checked my PM

yep my rav4 is my workhorse and my awd winter beater

edit: wait a sec.... trailer hitch + 3MZFE + I don't remember last time i got stuck in snow with the celica..... hmmmm decisions....

that's crazy, you guys have lost it, lol
I know how you feel tho, I felt the same way until I got a hou$e with a single car garage.... by myself.... and own a 6GC, 99 Rav4 and a 96 MR2-T
Logic tells me I should sell the first V6GC cause I'm broke but.... it's still here and I can't seem to get myself to let go....

can I sign up for a year?

I'm giving you your cookie back, I can't spin in 5th.

For sale

I really don't have a way to stretch it out perfectly but here it is


in good condition, it's dirty tho. Yup I'm selling a dirty bra

Asking $25 + shipping

The reality is, I'd be spinning in 3rd gear while passing you and giving you the finger.
It's a good thing you sold your Celica, a Honda suits your inferior knowledge better.
Now go and delete your account and get the **** off this board once and for all.

Hood was dented and repaired. Looks good aside from paint peeling and chips. It included vents and grill but no nozzle or spoiler.


Bumper is in perfect condition, aside from paint peeling and chips. It includes grills, turn signals (no socket, stock works), top bracket/seal and aftermarket foglights. No side brackets (stock ones work).

for more on the 2GRFE

visit this link http://www.mr2oc.com/showthread.php?t=332390

it is the mainstream swap of the future for all toyotas that it fits. Can't wait to see someone try it in a 6GC.

and the question remains, does it bolt up to a AWD GT4 trans? if a header can fit behind the intermediate shaft and the block, there has to be room for the center dif of the GT4. I know I can barely squeeze my hand behind the shaft and block on my 3MZ and there's only aprox 10mm that doesn't clear for the center dif.



sorry for going a little off topic

I agree with you for the most part Edophus, very well said.

However, we have the gearbox that matches the engine. The E-153 is perfect for a V6, wide enough to make good use of the torque curve. It also comes with the Solara V6 with a slightly wider final gear.
I still think the V6 has it's place in the racing world, maybe not endurance but enthusiast track racing for sure. A lot of Mr2 guys are ditching their NA and turbo 4 bangers for V6s for racing purposes.

also keep in mind there are 5 V6 options, the 1MZ is only of one them and far from the best. I would only get a 1MZ at a dirt cheap price, then slap on a TRD SC.
a non-vvti 1MZ would be in par with the 3SGE power wise but look at the 1MZ vvti (220), 5VZ (201) and 3MZ (230), all of them over 200HP.

now lets throw the 2GRFE into the mix

276WHP bone stock reliable and still gets 30MPG, anyone want that?
This thing would rival even a slightly built 3SGTE

The V6s has many advantages in racing just like the 3SGE has it's advantages but, like you said, what's best is all about what the person wants to do with the car.


now to steer away from my V6 biasing....
I'm bored of the 3MZFE and moving into a higher power goal (300HP+). I'm picking up a 96 MR2 turbo next weekend. This will be my next project car, I guess hanging around in the MR2 boards influenced me enough to get one. The 2GRFE would have been too much for a FWD platform, I needed a change and want to experience a turbo car. I am considering stuffing a 2GRFTE (FTE !!) in the MR2 at some point in the future if it's feasible and financially possible for me.

Well obviously I'm going to say go for a V6, trust me you won't regret it.

here's to clear up and confirm some myths

no, it does not make your car heavy
mine weighs in at 1220kg with all my extras and 1/4 tank of gas

yes it can be done cheaper than the Beams

yes there is virtually unlimited amount of easy to find parts for cheap

yes, it's very good on gas when babied, it's not bad when floored, in fact it's far better than 5SFE in town.

and NO it does not make it hard to work on, at all
it's makes it easier to work on that a 5S, some people say that and they never worked on one or even seen one
there is plenty of room all around of the engine. I don't need to squeeze into tight spaces. I can reach any spot with a wrench from top or bottom, as long as my arm is long enough.

edit: and no you don't need a lowered custom cross member, i used the stock cross member + GT4 mounts with E153, you can even use the stock GT tranny but it's not as strong.

Don't get confused with gens, there are 6 common V6's

3VZFE 3.0L (cast block, al heads)
5VZFE 3.4L (cast block, al heads) <--- I think there might be 2 gens of this guy

1MZFE 3.0L (all aluminum)
1MZFE 3.0l w/ VVTI (all aluminum)

3MZFE 3.3L w/ VVTI (all aluminum) <---- mine

2GRFE 3.5L w/ dual VVTI (all aluminum) <--- want

A question that I have been dying to hear the answer is: will a 2GRFE mate with the GT4's AWD E-153.
I saw a picture of a MR2 2GRFE swap where he ran his custom header behind the intermediate shaft, this means there is a lot more clearance than with the MZ block. This is good news because the reason the MZ don't mate with the AWD E-153 is that there is 1CM of the transfer case that interferes with the block. Did you know a 2GRFE makes 276WHP (on a MR2) bone stock (aside from better headers and intake required to make the darn thing fit). From all the chat I also gathered that it's very feasible to turbo without too many extensive modifications, no one in the community has done it yet but it's just a matter of time.

Imagine this, AWD 3.5L Turbo V6 GT4... err GT6

I didn't know there was more than one gen. It's from a 04 Sienna, I'm guessing it's a 1st gen.
