Im looking at turbocharging my 2vz, doubtfully the stock 5spd would handle my target of 400hp, is there any easy bolt on alternative. If not, im willing to do some work to make it happen, what is a solid enough fwd tranny that could handle this.
who said it will be in a camry? morever, nothing was mentioned about putting it down through the fronts... have you got anything useful to add?
Anyone else? thanks in advance
dude, respectfully, if you dont know what transmission bolts to the motor, then you arent going to be able to turbo the v6 by yourself... it costs a fortune, and it is really tough to get running.

1) doesnt matter if its a camry
2) thread said fwhp, and you want a fwd tranny.. means your gonna put power to the fronts, idiot. what you do want? a FWD tranny on a AWD car?

Does your misunderstaning really warrant insults? Fly Wheel horse power. For the record, I hate FWD and would never bother myself with delivering more power to a front wheel than a toddler could to his tricycle. What do I want? Simple, a midship hatch conversion.

Thanks for the concern, but I'm not doing it by myself and I've got spare coin. I'm new to the Toyota world (coming from bimmers) and was simply looking for some tried-tested-true advice. Toyota has an absurd amount of products and a huge fan base, was it wrong to ask?
So far two people said E153, but does anyone know what its rated to, and what sort of power has it seen from others' projects. Thanks (:
you mean you are going to convert the camry to a hatch and put a motor in the rear like an MR2? help us to understand your plans, then we can help you more accurately. sorry for the assumptions, but normally we get people just blowing smoke over here.

Well, i probobly could've helped you with your "400hp 2VZ" turbo engine ( ) but after that comment....cya
And to 88LE, yes, the 2VZ bolts up to the E153 and handles quite a bit of power! hehehe

The camry has nothing to do with anything aside from the fact that the oem packaged this motor in it.
Anyway, I dont see why the plan matters, I'm asking about a transmission, for what its worth I could be converting a sedan to a hatch-back though I dont see why anyone would ever do that. I simply want to use this motor in a transverse orientation to turn the rear wheels while sitting atop the rear axle in a modified production hatch of irrelevant make. Not sure what you mean by blowing smoke, I'm just looking for advice.
JetspeedCamry: Which comment? Either way, don't take offense to opinions. Please tell me, how much power are you putting through your E153?
^ Ask Tony the Tiger, he seems to be the knowledge base for all things turbo camry. Also, check out those on here that own MR2s with 3vz turbos. Maybe even MR2 forums.
Most people here wouldnt have a clue what the e153 handles, not many here have camrys making that amount of power.
Good luck with it, don't worry about the crap you have copped here, it happens to everyone who asks a turbo question with a low post count.

My point is, there are a lot of people who come on here and ask about stupid things and then dont do anything.
the e153 from a mr2 turbo would be your transmission of choice. this will bolt to the 2vz. you need a v6 flywheel, mr2 clutch kit and throw out bearing. chances are you will have to use mr2 axles and modify them accordingly to mate up to the splines on the car you are using... maybe do some kind of frankenstein axle with parts of both cars somehow bolted together.
anyways, this is what you will need. worry about engine mounts, tranny mounts when you get to that point. this transmission from the mr2 will be the one for you though. you need the shifter base and the shifter cables from the mr2 turbo too.
the reason i was looking for how the engine and transmission would be mounted is because if its MR, its the mr2 tranny... if it is rwd its a rwd tranny. a few will work. if its fwd, its the camry/solara e153.

A useless comment from someone who calls themselves baka, how fitting.

thats good news, thank you. And v-cam ill pm search for tony's posts, thanks.. btw, perhaps those people are asking the questions to realize the stupidity? I think what's more stupid is not asking.
Thanks again for the help guys (:
