Which I4 gen3 parts fit V6 gen4? (incl wheels) - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

My '93 I4 Camry's transmission is out, and I plan on buying a '97 V6. I was thinking about saving my gen3 for replacement parts, especially the wheels/tires.
Is there a comprehensive list of which parts are the same?
Thanks!

why not just sell the 93? or part it out?

Yeah I have tried to sell it, but people only want to pay a few hundred for it. I was thinking about parting it out on TN, and hopefully keeping the wheels so I can use them in the '97.

By finding out how many parts will fit the newer camry, I can better decide what to do with the '93

going from a 4 to a 6, the wheels, stereo, and maybe battery if you have an optima. that's about it. everything else is already bigger and better on the v6 than on your i4 so there's no point in keeping it. even if you had HIDs you couldn't move them over without a lot of work (and you'd lose high beams too) because the 97 uses a one bulb for hi/lo unlike gen3 (and gen4.5)'s separate hi and low bulbs.

any wheel smaller than 15" will NOT fit over the v6's front brakes. anything larger is direct fit and will fit exactly like it did on youe gen3.

Sounds good, thanks for the info. Any more comments?

Gne 3 I4 ONLY came with 14" rims. They WILL NOT fit a V6.

i knew that, but also know that LOADS of ppl on here get bigger wheels, which is why i specified anything smaller than 15" (meaning 14) wouldn't fit over the brakes.

right.. im assuming he had wheels worth keeping... hehe... not stock 14" steelies

arlo · 03-29-2009, 10:35 AM

actually I was hoping to keep the stock wheels.
Only because of the great tread on the tires, not the actually wheels.

Guess I'm out of luck lol
