hi i rescent purchased a 6th gen cheap due to a motor knock and was wondering if the 2.2 in my 5th gen is pretty much the same motor or would i have to do some part swapping to make it work? also my 5th gen has an auto tranny and i want to stick with the 5 speed in my 6th gen would i have to do much to make that work im pretty new to the celica scene so any help would be appreciated.....thanks

There are actually a few more differences than just lack of knock sensor (because I believe 93's have knock sensors). When Shannon (supershannon77) blew up her motor in her 5th gen she swapped in a 5s out of a 1999. We had to remove all the 5th gen timing stuff, electronics, etc. off the the old motor and reinstall a lot of it onto the 6th gen motor. I dont know to much about it because we had a shop do it, and had our good friend Jeremy walk the shop through it. So the answer is yes, you can use a 5th gen 5sfe......but its a bit of work. Basically what I got from it, everything that is on your 6th gen 5sfe, swap over to the 5th gen 5sfe. You are going to use your 6th gen harness and ECU etc. For what it is worth, I wouldn't bother with the 5th gen motor for a few reasons:

1. Its older
2. Odds are higher mileage
3. Must swap over current 6th gen parts to make it run
4. Not much of a savings over buying a 1994-1999 5sfe
5. (for what it is worth, since its coming out anyway...anything from a 1998-1999 would be your best best...factory metal headgasket, and usually the lowest mileage)
