hello all. I have a 1996 camry. Recently the tranny has been taking a **** on me, poppin out of gear and other random ****. The motor has 212k on it so I figure it is time for a swap. I also drive a nissan and one of the guys from nico said this to be a very helpful sight. He said twin turbo mr2 motor, that it fits my car with a celica tranny. Is this true? And are there any other swaps that could be fitted to my car. Also car must smog( cali sucks balls for smogging)(wich prolly rules out twin turbo but still) Thanks guys, for any help you can give.

If I were you, I would sell your Camry and buy a V6 Camry. The V6 Camry has the 1MFZE, which has about 200 horsepower. There is also a supercharger made for this engine to put the horsepower at around 240. A V6 Camry would most likely be less expensive than a engine and transmission swap and in the end it has the ability to produce more power.


I disagree with that.. granted it would be easier to by a new car than swap in a new motor.. but that charger is gonna be somewhere around 2.5-3.5k now thats not very cheap.. and for only a 40hp gain.. thats not money well spent.. 2.5-3.5k spend modding a 3sgte with 200ish baseline HP is gonna see alot more Hp than 240hp.

If you have the 4clyinder which you probably do. I would recommend the 3sgte swap if your looking for power. There are sites online that will help you with that motor into your car - just keep in mind that all swaps are done differently buy you will find alot of good info out there to help you along the way biggrin.gif

otherwise there is plenty of info right here for ya!

Enjoy the site
