5th & 6th Generation (2002-2006 & 2007-2011)Toyota Camry Discussion for years: 2002-2006 & 2007-2011
Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
does anyone know if this is possible. i like the camry price but the performance of the is350. can this be done with just changing a few things in the engine without having to swap engines???
why don't you just buy the 07 camry se v6...you'll get 268 hp...which is better than the is350 i'm guessing
No, the IS350 gets 308hp...
reyrey127, there's no way you're going to add 40hp with "a few minor engine modifications." For that kind of power, you're looking at some serious N/A tuning, or forced induction. Either way, $$$.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.
Is it worth doing (given that it is possible) for few horsepower? Me, I don' think so.
Who cares about the few extra horsepower difference between IS and the Camry. Oh wait, you're from the expensive parts of Cali, where every youngster drives nice cars and every horsepower matters for some reason. Stereotype, but true?
West coast man, I just don't get it. Over in Michigan, you buy a nice car with everything, you go on the freeway and this stupid dump truck starts flicking tiny stones at you. You drive in downtown detroit freeway and there goes your rims. You park, and this dumbass Michigander talking on the cell phone swipes your bumper.
I guess if I lived in west coast, I probably would think of the same thing.
The car hasn't even been released yet and your wanting to swap/mod its marvelous 3.5L V6!!!
Man, this engine is going to be AWESOME..swapping it out is to spit on the Camry...
And to mod it, well, who knows! Wait till the engine is released and do some tinkering. Perhaps Toyota de-tuned this engine to the max to handle emmissions and to set it into it's target category...the motor might have plenty more potential than they say....just have to wait and see.
the IS uses a somethingGR-FSE which is wanky wanky with direct port injection etc etc.
get a manual camry and youll beat every auto is350 =)

I like this idea better..
How about you buy the 3.5 V6 2007 Camry and you put a nice 50 or 75 HP shot of Nitrous Oxide in it... ???

white i wasn't saying only a few MINOR engine modifications would get him that kind of power i know it means $$$ but a few $$$ modifications would allow him to have that kind of power...such as you said "forced induction" or "naturally aspirated"

lol i agree w/ ufoz b/c whatever you spend to get it to that power may cost you just as much money as you would have spent extra to just get the IS350 instead

yeah plus.....the IS350 is RWD too right? but to me......i think 268 HP would definitely be enough for me! especially now.....i only have 192 stock =/ be happy man. you got me beat.
