Yes it does bolt up using the current mounts and while a turbo V6 may be sweet if you can pull it off, There is little to no extra room in the engine bay, it won't be any cheaper than a 3sgte swap, it will make less power(initially at least), and it will need more tuning.TubRog5 said:Has anyone done a custom turbo? Average gains? I'm assuming around 40 hp?
What I wanna know is, does the 3sgte bolt up using the current mounts?

Torque is where the V6 would have it, and uniqueness. I would like to see someone do to a gen 2 V6 what Tony has done to his gen 3.Talisman18 said:Yes it does bolt up using the current mounts and while a turbo V6 may be sweet if you can pull it off, There is little to no extra room in the engine bay, it won't be any cheaper than a 3sgte swap, it will make less power(initially at least), and it will need more tuning.
Why would you want to do that?TubRog5 said:Ok cool..
Another question..Does a 5sfe tranny bolt up to the 2.5 V6?
why would you ever do that to your camry?TubRog5 said:Ok cool..

Rightside motor mount is different actually. To do the swap, you would need to weld on a new bracket on that side. Plus the harness would have to be modified heavily if not a whole new harness. Turbo would be a nice alternative but there isn't enough room. Gen. 3 has significantly more room in the engine bay than a Gen. 2 with a V6 has. There really isn't a good alternative with a 2vzfe. Stick with it and do light mods or go through the ordeal of a 3sgte swap that isn't as easy as it sounds.....Talisman18 said:Yes it does bolt up using the current mounts and while a turbo V6 may be sweet if you can pull it off, There is little to no extra room in the engine bay, it won't be any cheaper than a 3sgte swap, it will make less power(initially at least), and it will need more tuning.
It's definitely a direct swap on the 4 cyl.K..heres the real deal..Talisman18 said:Why would you want to do that?
Yep.. Its not really an awd engine. Its all in the transmission. You just need a fwd tranny that can take the beating of the extra power.kman10587 said:3SGTE = Celica All-Trac Turbo motor, right? And you can put it into a FWD car even though it's an AWD engine, like, say, a 4-banger Camry LE?
Look at it this way. The eclipse gst and gsx shares the same exact motor. A gst is fwd while a gsx is awd drive. What do you think makes this work out? Its the transmission. Thats it. You can swap the engine from one to the other and there will be no difference.kman10587 said:Oh, I was always taught that it wouldn't work, because the engine would be set up to send power to all four wheels, when it only needs to send them to two.
Okay, so you wanna try and put the V6 into your Celica. Hmmm, I am sure you would need custom mounts and I am not sure what you would do about axles. Wiring would also suck nuts. If you are ona budget, I wouldn't even bother trying. You can get an engine for 350 off ebay. As for the Camry? ummm, maybe you can still buy the donor car, use the parts and then recoup all your money by selling everything you don't need. I wonder if you can get the awd tranny to bolt up to the V6? Even if you can't you could sell the V6 for money along with the rest of the car and come out ahead.TubRog5 said:K..heres the real deal..
My alltrac camry was hit in the front. Has some good damage, but can be fixed. I just need the parts. My '95 celica has a blown motor. Since I'm on a huge budget, I'm having trouble getting a motor for my celica. At the same time, my camry needs fixing. And well, I found a '90 V6 camry for $350. So I figure, maybe I can buy that camry and use what I need to fix my alltrac with. At the same time, I'll try and swap that motor into my celica. I get both cars fixed, and everyones happy. Mostly me of course. The problem, not sure how the V6 will fit and I'd like to keep the car a manual. I hate driving automatics. So, thats the reasons for my questions.
Why didn't I just ask all my questions and concerns straight out? I tried, but no one replied. And so I figured that if I say something bout a 3sgte. Then it'll grab someone's attention and get replies. It worked didn't it?
But yes, I know there will be a whole lot of work with wiring and such if I go with the swap. Right now, I'm running out of options though. I have two cars that I can't even drive. So if I'm gonna buy a parts car to fix one car, its best if I buy it to fix both cars. I just wanna gather some information before I decide to go along with it.
Yeah, I know I can find an engine for fairly cheap, but thats usually some 3sfe or 5sfe. Nows a great time to go for something more. But well, from the looks of it. I just might have to deal with a 5sfe again. Theres always the option of a 3sge head swap in the long run. So that can be something that I might consider thinking about. I was really hoping that that V6 just might work though. 156 hp with 160 lbs/ft of torque. I'd be happy enough with that for the moment.Talisman18 said:Okay, so you wanna try and put the V6 into your Celica.
