Engine swap questions. Options

[1994Celica]

I've been debating on engine swaps and I have some questions. How reliable would a swapped car be? What swap would be the best for a daily diver?

Yeah and anything over 250 hp or so in a FWD setup is useless for anything that isn't drag racing. Unless you enjoy fighting torque steer the entire time you're driving.

Turbocharging the 1MZ and losing reliability is utter bull ****. Toyota offered the option of a TRD supercharger on the 1MZ-FE in the Camry/Solara and even the Sienna, it's more than capable of being boosted.

Also driving a V6 Camry is nothing like driving a V6 Celica. It'd be like throwing a 3S into the Camry, wouldn't be the same would it?

That has got to be the silliest thing I've ever heard on this site.
Usless over 250fwhp? Lmao tell that to my wife as she pulls away from you like your standing still. ( yes, the blue celica is jenns, she drives it everyday, and has for the past 13 years that she's owned it.)
You must have some SERIOUS noodle arms if you have to "fight" tourque steer @ 250fwhp.
I'm sorry, your argument holds no water with me after that. Lmao.
The "f" in the engine code designates it as an economy head, that's not made for performance, or boost.
Can it handle a few lbs, sure, so can ANY motor. But was it designed and built for performance or boost? No.

Torque steer is fairly prevalent by that point. Even the 190hp Maxima my brother drives has it to a good degree. Obviously you've never taken the car where any degree of accelerating under hard cornering is required. Controlling torque steer in a straight line is one thing, controlling it through corners is another.

And "g" in the engine code designates performance. I guess next you'll tell me that the I in I4 means inline.
