Ok so I have a friend who owns a Honda shop. He has 3 k series engines laying around. Last night I asked him how much he would sell me one for and he said $300. I was just asking for ****s and grins but it really got my gears going. Right now my plan for the Celica is a Beams. The Beams would cost me some 3k to do properly but if I can swap in a k series and get it running for under 3k, I think It might be a fun project. What do you guys think?
Right now I know the axles, motor mounts, and the whole inverted intake/exhaust manifolds will be an issue. what else should I think about? |

Power will depend on the year of 1MZ. My 94 1MZ with a LinkECU+tune, simple intake, headers, and exhaust makes 185whp/201wtq. Been getting low-mid 20's on MPG, because the S54 is geared so short and my commute to work is almost 50 miles a day at freeway speeds... I live in 5th gear @ 4k rpms.
If you had a 97+ with VVT-i you might find my numbers would be stock figures due to refinements in the motor. Kurt, you're probably ~10whp/10wtq shy of my numbers, but out of sheer interest I would recommend getting it dyno'ed. The v6 is lighter than the 5S so you're basically doubling the power output and shedding weight at the same time. The 1MZ came in a ton of other Toyotas, so they're cheap and plentiful. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
