Hi, im currently on the plan to swap a Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185 into my RAV4 1998. There are a few question for this. Is it possible to fit the engine into my Rav4? Any fitment needed to do? I'm planning to add a standalone ecu for this, any suggestion? Will be glad if anyone help out.

I know this is not a uncommon thing, but I believe my issue is slightly different from most. 87 Camry with the 3sfe. It just hit 94k miles. All stock. It has always started on the second try, but recently it has become worse. Initially I replaced the fuel pump, strainer, and filter due to a lack...

Hello Everyone, I just finished a fuel injector cleaning and o ring replacement on my 87 Camry, and when I went to start it up it took a few tries but she started and ran great! For about five minutes, after which it cut power (likely from the injectors). What I’m thinking is that it’s the...

Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a nice 2022. I have a 1991 Camry that is losing oil. The car has the 2.0L 3S-FE and the 5-speed manual trans. The odometer reads 163,500, and outside of this oil loss problem and a nonworking rear defroster, the car is in survivor condition...

Almost time to do the swap over into my 91 Camry (Bumblebee). After searching, and blazing through both the Camry and MR2 forums in regards to information pertaining to the 5SFE motor in particular, I'm still a bit curious to those who've made the swap with theirs here. Alongside successes and...

hey peeps ,just wondering if id be able to make this work? Very similar but not quite the same lol The fe dizzy fits and seems to be the same length to the gear where it connects into the motor and the bolts to tighten the dizzy assembly line up as well, the only thing is that the 2 plugs are...

Recently had the idea of making a sleeper and I noticed that 2nd gen Camry's are relatively cheap for what they have and aside from small performance parts I haven't seen and engine modifications. I've heard you can pull parts from other cars like the headers from the 86-89 Celica but I really...

Hello! My '92 Holden Apollo is definitely showing signs of needing a head gasket replacement (white smoke, water in tailpipe, slow but noticeable coolant use). What concerns me is what I'll find when I get in there - the car had been sitting for a while (was a grandma's car who could no longer...

Hello! I'm doing the timing belt on my new '92 Holden Apollo (weird Aussie badge-engineered SV21) with a 3SFE. I managed to fumble and drop the idler pulley as I was taking it off. Does anyone know if there's supposed to be a washer on the outside (closest to wheel side) of the pulley? I...

1987 Celica GT, 3SFE 2.0, w/automatic. I"ll get to my point fast, please bare with me... I think my A140L had a catastrophic failure yesterday. When I came off the highway at an exit the car was in overdrive and I let off the accelerator. The transmission/transaxle seemed to drag the car to a...

I've always wondered what rpm my 91 Camry sat at while doing highway speeds (65-75mph). I don't have a tach and have not found any other information about it. Would anyone know?

Hey guys; i am new around here and new with my 6th gen celica. Lately i have seen an issue when i start the engine. Occasionally i can hear a bang bang from the passenger side of the engine for a few seconds; when i start it. The oil pressure light will stay on until the sound is gone...

Hey thanks for the add! I've been a Toyota enthusiast, collector for a quite a while now. have had all sorts of classics but currently loving the 80's models. They don't make em like they used to! I was fortunate enough to come across a sweet camry alltrac and I had to have it. It's got a slight...

Hello everyone. I realize this post is a bit of an intro in the gen forum, but I’ll be posting all my questions and modifications on a single thread in the future as this car is slightly more particular than some and may require referencing older posts in the future. What is it? 1993 Toyota...

Hi everyone, I have an 89 manual Camry wagon with 140k km on the clock, I was topping up oil a couple of times between oil changes (every 5000km's) but not with too much oil. A mechanic acquaintance suggested that the spark plug tubes may need resealing and was probably the cause of the lost...

Working on a blown head gasket (lord please let it just be the gasket), I don't have an engine hoist so I'm trying to pull the head off with the intake manifold and fuel rail connected and leaving the engine in the vehicle. This is the first time I've ever done any engine work ever. So far it's...

Neither can my mechanic. Any suggestions? It's an 89 Celica GT 3S-FE Automatic built in 02/89. I appreciate any help. :)

So I have a 89 Celica ST with a blown head gasket. I don't have to much money invested into the car at this point but I don't have a very big budget to work with either. What I'm trying to decide is whether I should get a repair kit and fix the head gasket (never done before) or try to find a...

DOING my head in. I have had a 92 sedan and now the 91 wagon do exactly the same thing! Yet my 88 sedan manual I have owned for over 20yrs has NEVER done it. Nor a 89 wagon also series one auto I had prior to these later models. The problem is VERY specific to certain things. 1...

Someone please help me out with recognizing which engine this is as the 3SFE and 5SFE looks very similar. The mechanic who replaced the engine says its a 3SFE but to me it just looks like the 5SFE which was there before. I'm new to the forum. Any help would be greatly appreciated :')
