Hey yall. So I got my Celica from a junk yard in Germany, because I live here. And the engine is garbage. I also cane afford to import an engine from Japan or any of that, so my other alternative is to get an engine from the yard. I found a Toyota Paseo and the guy says the engine and tranny are good, but I need to know if the 5efe with bolt up to my Celica mount locations. The Paseo is a 1993 and im also getting the tranny from it. Has anyone done this swap before? will it work? Thanks

Nope, and if you did it'd be a giant slow piece of crap. You need to stay with the S series of engines, so either another 3S or something like the 5S which came in the Celica over here along with cars like the Camry. Even being a direct bolt in that still leaves redoing the ECU and wiring. Easiest thing would be to replace with an identical engine or rebuild if it's salvageable.

The 5efe is a 1.5 liter, versus the 2.2 liter in your Celica now. That would be a huge step backwards.
You should be able to source a 5SFE engine, it is in the Camry and they did offer that car in Germany. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT 5 Speed

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

The 5E-FE, isn't the sort of motor you want to swap into a Celica, from memory they come with the C56 transaxle like the Starlets. Thats what they are good for swapping into. Making a 1.5L 4E-FTE (1.3L) with a <800kg body, they work well.
I'm going to say no to bolting up for the engine, as the E series is straight up like the A series. where as our S series is on that slant. You don't need to import from Japan. *hopefully* there are some spare 3S-GE in junkyards or local buy/sell websites, or try rebuild. As Box has said. -------------------- |

Check your local classifieds or post a want add on kijiji or Craig's list. You'd be surprised, someone might have one maybe even a 3sgte.
