other engine swaps, what else is there? Options

[BLADDER_MASTER]

The engine would be the best for those who want NA power (cheaper than the 3SGE for the US folks)

I highly doubt that.

I waqs referring to price of the engine. Not the whole swap, Unless the U.S. wants to mess with the 1st gen 3SGE

So you could get 1MZ-FE's for less than $650!?!? If thats true, then I paid way too much for my 3rd gen 3S-GE.

[BLADDER_MASTER]

Oh and btw, a V6 swap on a Celica has been done already. Do some research and you'll find out about it.

Damn! $650 I need to do some more research then

having done a massive load of research and part hunting, i highly support that

Just to verify, are you supporting his quote or my quote? If you're supporting his quote, then obviously you've haven't done enough research or the right research.

obviously i'm supporting his quote, not hard to figure that out

please share with us your vaste knowlege about the v6 swap, this should be good

just for facts

i paid $750 for my 2004 3MZ w/ 22k KMS (thats in canadian dollars)

Adrian - aka SBcelicatgt on MR2OC.com - 97+ 1mzfe with a 99 solora tranny, clever guy, also very easy to talk to and very helpful, drives a nice 5th gen


I did my research and i positive i know much more than you think about the v6 swap

please stop being a pain

Like I stated before, I just wanted to make sure. I don't see the harm in that.

d00d, I never once stated that I have vaste knowledge on the V6 swap. But I know for a fact that it's not as simple as a 3S-GE swap. So if you want to argue that, go right ahead.

Kudos to you.

You more than likely do, but not everyone does their research like you do. And I was just responding to those who wanted to see a V6 swap done, just the same way how I responded to those who wanted to see a V8 swap done.

Being a pain?...right...

FYI: V6 is alot cheaper swap by far, my 1mz was 50$.

Hot damn! Where you find a deal like that? Was it just the engine alone or was it engine, tranny, harness, ecu, etc?

i'm sorry but i felt very offended, it's quite clear you are the one lacking the research here when it comes to 1mz swap prices

who's in the line up in the "race" ?

i know there's me, doc, you, clipsetuner

who else?

i'm not too far in my swap, i still need to source a whole bunch of parts but i got lucky on getting my hands on my 3mz. Next thing in line is a e153


also i'm curious what kind of v6 you got and how you will be tackling the swap? (3mz, 1mz year, tranny, fuel system, etc...)

[Clipsetuner]

BLADDER_MASTER - Its just basicly a long block, no harness, tranny, ECU, but 50$ is hard to beat. Its a 97 camry with around 70k so its not quite the Ideal motor, but its not to high of millege, plus it lets me get the wiring and everything figured out before I drop a new motor.

K-ESD - I will hopefully be back in the race soon enough, just try'n to source another car... I plan on using the 5s trans for now considering I have 2 of them, then someday upgrading.

I also plan on my car being more track car, corners etc.. I am not much going for the 1/4mile time, as bein

how did you stumble on such a deal? $50 is a crazy deal even with no accesories

[brianforster]

i cant believe nobody has said this yet..

only two people have converted their car to AWD when doing the 3sgte swap, 99% of us use the gt tranny or mr2 tranny keeping our cars FWD!

d00d, i'm not talking about swap prices, i'm talking about engine prices. And turns out I was wrong, after some looking around, some guys are getting 1MZ's complete with everything attached to it for less than $650.

Sounds good. Shouldn't be too hard to source the rest of the stuff.

Not much of your type around here.

if thats the case, your comment

"If you're supporting his quote, then obviously you've haven't done enough research or the right research."

was absolutely unnecessary, if you can't say anything constructive, don't say anything at all, got that?

edit: pardon my tone, sh-t like that really irritates the f-k out of me

im not too far in my swap yet either....money has been pretty slow lately....so its kinda been not happening to much..im using the 1mzfe from a 98 avalon....i got to hear it running before it got pulled.....the engine had around.....150,xxx miles when they pulled it...but it was in immaculate shape and it ran really well, so i couldnt pass it up. for the brains im planning on running Mega Squirt, because i figure im going to eventually turbo it anyways, so i might as well go ahead and use the standalone i would run. I will probably use the e153 tranny...but im still looking into other options, even though it seems im limited. i also picked up a 150 shot NX kit from one of my buddies for $150 on friday....so im thinking when it all gets done, hopefully before august...she should be a whole lot more fun then stock

[K-ESD]

wow thats awsome
same with me, i got the motor but i still got a whole bunch of parts to order in
i'm aiming to have it done to at least enjoy some of the summer with it

is there a reason why you picked the 1mz over the 3vz, concidering you're planning to turbo and use nitrous?

[Clipsetuner]

K-ESD - Toyota Performance, Portland Oregon, is where I got my engine, The owner of the car wanted a lower millege engine for some reason, so I offered 50$ with no asseorey's and hes like sure..

brianforster - I dont think many people even really want AWD if they did I think more of us would be all-trac owners, I personaly like FWD for the most part. I have drove a 3sgte'd swapped celica before and it didnt suite my needs to much un-usable power for cornering etc..

Both of you are pretty lucky for having 94's every celica Ive looked at sense mine got hit has been a 96+ OBDII which I cant really figure out how to get past, unless I am to drop the 1500$ or so for a standalone thats OBDII complient. I think that is the route I will probley end up having togo because down the line I would like to turbo it and see what it can do.

It appears that my morning post was cut a litte short, celica's more a less in design were never straight line cars, if you want one I reccomend a supra, skyline etc... I plan on pushing mine to the cornering limits hanging with FD's, Porcshe's. Just a little parts in the waitings...
