Engine Question

[ToyotaMorph]

I have a question. I wish to change my engine to a new and more powerful engine in my '90 Camry. I was thinking is it possible to put a '96 Twin Turbo Supra Engine in it? If not, what would be a great engine to put in it. My car is manual transmission just in case you wish to know. All I know is that I was so much HP in it that it can outspeed a 'ugh' Chevy Silverado...lol. Hit me up with your responses!!!!

[atobe]

ain't gonna happen with that engine.... i mean anything's possible with you have the $$ but you'll probbly end up spending 30k to fit that thing in there.... get a 3sgte in there... uses the same mounts as yours right now.. assuming you have the 4 cycl... and your tranny isn't gonna hold up using that engine anyways it's gonna blow... so you'd have to use the tranny that comes with 3sgte... aka e153... with the 3sgte.. 2nd gen you'r looking at 225hp or 3rd gen is 255..roughly

[ToyotaMorph]

3sgte? What car is that from? (I'm such a noob when it comes to engines) -.-

Also, can that engine support any turbo or superchargers?

[jcb62988]

the 3sgte is a celica engine, and i believe it comes stock with a turbo

What is the most HP you can get out of a 3sgte? My dream HP is to pump like...300HP and make that car float! I want to outun a truck in my car HAAARRR!

i've heard of people getting as much as 400 or more with a 3sgte. but i think you'll go broke before you get anywhere near that. if you're new to engines... then i wouldn't suggest doing it. cause you wont be able to do the swap yourself. which means you'll spend even more money finding someone to do it.

later 3SGTE's came from the factory with 300hp...

hate to say it guys, but S E A R C H first, this stupid question has been covered a million times.

[TTercel]

Drop a 3VZ FE in it or 1MZ FE, those came from the Gen 3 Camrys...now that would original, not too sure how fitting it in would be like but gen 2s did come with the 2VZ FE, and the 3VZ fe is only 0.5L bigger...

[Phatfantom68]

^Randy, it would be a bitch to make a larger engine fit in a gen 2.

And Toyotamorph... I can't tell you what to do with your car, but from the looks of it, you are a ricer, and most places don't take kindly to ricers. And you say you're a n00b at engines? Then there's no way you should do this swap unless you have a lot of money (over $7000 if you're not going to do any work yourself). I know you don't have that kind of money or else you wouldn't be driving the Camry, so basically, you're stuck with what you got.

[Toysrme]

The problem with that would be that about the only thing in common with a 2vz-fe and a 3vz-fe bottom end wise is that they're made of iron. So the external demensions *could* be alot different.
Somebody measure a 2vz-fe on the outside.

I'm with tommy, it's all been hashed & done before.
Like elsewhere. I'd take a v6 over the 3s-gte's every day of the week. There's abunch of reasons the mr2 3s-gte owners are ditching them for any v6 they can find. With no real outstanding reason for them to keep the 3s-gte.

But it's all personal prefferance!

Celica All Trac/GT4, MR2 Turbo, and Caldina.

Its a 2.0L I4 turbocharged engine.

300HP is no prob.

I might also suggest selling me your camry for 200 dollars so I have a spare parts car... and you go buy yourself a nice newer car

Shweet! And sure, I'm willing to do that. Thats what they get paid for, right? If everyone learned how to do it themselves then why should they have a job?

That may be true that it has been covered many times before. And perhaps yes I should research it...but its most likely buried so deep in the forums my comp would lag or freeze from all the link clicking. *ahem* and plus I'm another one of those lazy ppl*Ahem* And believe me, I won't be the last. And yes...it is all personal preference....my personal preference.

300HP is no prob.

Super shweet!

WTF is a ricer? And about the money, I plan on starting very soon. Majority of the work on the car I'll be doing myself. Its basically the engine I'll be leaving to someone else. I careless how much I gotta spend, as long as its done and done right. And what you trying to say? I like old cars thank you. New cars are no different than the old ones except by looks. They all break down, they all need to be fixed, they call can be run into a tree.

NEVAR!!!!!! And besides, my car is STILL in perfect condition....with new and cleaned engine parts. (Looks brand spanking new under the hood). Its worth way way more than that anyway.


I think that covers all I wanted to reply to...sorry for such a big post. Just so many to reply to at once. Also, quick thing. Being I'm a noob, it is wrong for me to seek out experts such as yourselves for 'quick lessons' on engines? Last I checked, I thought you'd be happy to teach or give advice to 'interested people' who lack knowledge on engines -.-

I already have gotten almost 270hp out of a near-stock 3s-gte in my Camry. I should be able to have a reliable 330-350hp without much more work.

Are you ready to spend about 10x what your car is worth to do all that you plan to it? Will you enjoy it that much in the end? (more than a nice new, reliable car - see my sig)

PS. The aeroform body kit in your signature is hideous - try to find better pictures of it... I guess that's personal opinion though.

edit: PPS. My Camry in its current form is about as fast as a stock STi or Evo from about 2nd gear on and makes my WRX feel slow.

Exactly if you dont want to help him with what he wants to know then dont badger him... and btw i also own 3 gen 2's, 81 porche 924, 98 dodge dakota, 96 camaro, 03 sonoma, 76 stingray corvette, 2 90 corolla's, an 81 celica gt, and a 88 chevy beretta.... but i choose to drive my 90 dx and leave the others to sit at either my mothers or my father's house... so dont bash someone bc hes driving a camry because you dont know what he has, who he is, or what hes wanting to accomplish.... btw i would buy 10 more gen 2's if i could find them.


and for those of you who were an actual help... thankyou for your time and patience.... TN
