In the april 2003 issue of Sport Compact Car, they did a V6 swap into an MR2 turbo with a melted piston (see page 199). They shoehorned in a 1MZ-FE 3 liter from an es300 and threw on the trd supercharger for one sick ride.
I realize hood clearance may be an issue in an ST-205, otherwise does anyone see any other problems with this swap (less the supercharger of course). Read the article if possible before responding as there is a ton of info on what is needed in the MR2 swap.

I've been thinking about this swap for a while, and my conclusion up to now is to buy a whole camry and swap all i need from the camry to the celi, and all from the celi to the camry......so you don't mess with fuel pumps, ecu and all stuff, cause you all have the original stock. And as long as i know, a camry and a celi are pretty similar. Then I get a 5sfe camry for winter or for sale, and that isn't that bad cause camrys where produced with 5sfe.....
Of course, this is all made by myself only, cause I don't pay myself......and i do have a mechanical engineering technicien formation too, and access to proper tooling......It is just lot of time, so a winter project.

But I still haven't open the hood of a camry to take measurements.......just saw pictures and it all looks pretty similar.

And this is not to get modified ! geeee, you have 200 hp and torque stock, I don't need more.....
The solara v6 manual makes 0-60 in near 7 sec......that's ok for me and this is my goal.

And the aluminium v6 doesn'y weight enough more then the steel 5sfe so you stay with the same suspension.....just swap the battery in the trunk....
So open the race for the first v6 6th gen celica !!!

What actually slow me down is money ! Hey ! like everybody ! And to find those rare v6 manual camry.....
