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?

OK this is just getting sad For starters I'm no fanboy. I've said what I've had to say about the v6 swap an its just as good of a swap as a 3s if your not worried about only power. Pressure2: I had a lot of respect for you,your celicas, an what you have brought to this site. But I have lost a lot of respect for you after reading what basically been trash talking from you to box an anyone that has v6 in there post Say what you want but the 2mz in a celica is one hell of a motor Mine isn't even at 100% yet an I take out b swap Hondas like there a d series still. Saying you know how a v6 will be in a celica because you drove a v6 camry is like saying oh I know what a v8 mustsng will feel Cruz I drove a crown Vic Just because you know a few power numbers for a motor doesn't mean you know crap about how it will run in a car you've never seen it in before Oh an I'd be willing to be mine or smaays v6 could spank that 300+ HP 3s of your wife on some good twistie roads cuz we haven't thrown off the balance of our celicas with all the extra weight the 3s adds. Powers not everything man....you'd think after owning a celica for 13years you would know that by now Rant over Pressure you and I will go round and round and while you are correct an a great many things, you are ignorant with a few too. look ay my V6 swap dyno numbers. i made 220HP and 240tq. I have sourced a TRD supercharger or contemplated building my own M90 blower. that will put me well over the 300 range and ill still do it for less than a 3S-GTE swap. ill say it again i drove erynns car with a 3S-GTE in it and i was IMPRESSED! it ran awesome! but she spent about 4000 for it. for what i have under the hood now its still under 2000. this is going to be a long debate from now on. V6 Vs 3S-GTE first, kurt, im not here for your respect, or anyone elses for that matter. so whether or not you "lost respect" for me whatever, i could care less. did you guys miss my earlier post where i specificly said where a v6 swap IS a good idea in certain cercomstances? im not saying there is no place for a v6 in a celica. quite the contrary, if your not looking for a turbo engine, or just really want the v6, go for it! its your car, do whatever the hell you want to it. the whole v6 vs 3sgte debate is retarted as far as im concerned, i just cant stand the fanboy approch people have. ohh i have a v6, so its the best thing since sliced bread!..bull****. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
