Egine swap question - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hi, I have a 95 Camry with a 5s-fe and he begin to be old. So one of my option is to swap a newer engine in it. So a 3mz-fe with tranny and ecu could fit in my car? or even a 2gr-fe? it is hard to do?

Oh yeah it's doable (V6). Try a search, and there'll be a lot of info to read about. 2gr-fe, I am not familiar with though.

if your very serious abotu a 3mz...which i personally wouldnt want. then PM scweet(milt) he has put one in his coupe before he got rid of it.

Why you wouldn't want a 3mz?

bigbird · 06-13-2008, 05:56 PM

more work then the 1mz swap for little gain. plus there are more aftermarket parts avalible for the 1mz. plus i may be wrong but i believe teh 3mz is drive by wire and thats jsut poo on that motor. though i think milt was able to work around it. but hes the only person i know of who has done it so hes gonne be the person to ask.

^true...

nice regurgitation

lol...

go with 1mz.. get it from the same year or 94 or 96 if you cant find 95... the wiring will be easier if its the same year.

I will help you with the wiring when you get to that point.. i have my old wiring scribble sheet from my 94 swap...

i thought ud like that

the 1mz is also better cuz you can supercharge it..which milt did with the 3mz as well but again had to work around the vvti and dbw.

and 2gr-fe wont werk because the tranny is way different it is actuallt a gm tranny believe it or not, as sad as it may be

dresev6 · 06-13-2008, 11:30 PM

plus the 1mz came in the 95 so it would be a easier and a more sensible swap. thats what i would do

I hope you aren't talking about Toyota's U660E Sequential 6 speed automatic transmission...

Please provide proof that it is a gm product...

A GM tranny? Can you back that up?

well i went to werk this morning, i werk for penn toyota in nyc.m i asked my parts manager and he me told that he is not a 100% sure that is it the same exact tranny as gm but he does know that all trannies werk built in kentucky and they were built by the same people who builds gm's trannies.

dresev6 · 06-14-2008, 05:14 PM
