you prolly already read it but just in case, i say dont worry with the 5s block or crank swap leave it as is, you can rev higher due to a truer square set-up.

welcome, it's going to be nice to see this done again, and if your lying or flake out i'm comming to the gta and slapping you around :lol:

 

3vz SE model! (Well, LE Sport for Canada.) You're LUCKY! But why swap to a turbo 4cyl? Recondition the 3VZ and do a turbo build. :welcome: to TN!

 

awesome score man, looks like one hell of a project. you could likely sell the 3sgte and have more then enough for a quality turbo build on your 3vz and could avoid having to swap and retrofit parts into the stock car. just a thought....either way it will be awesome.

 

I'm doing the swap because I can, and because it hasn't been done verymuch. I already have the motor and I have alot of money into it, so i'd rather keep it. Also, it will be a DD, so running the stock GEN3 MR2 electronics will give me reliablity and the power I am looking for.

 

You're in brockville? I've got family in prescott. We go to brockville all the time.

Sorry, totally unrelated.

 

i agree with all of the above^^
a nice turbo setup FTW!...

but if u wanna go with the turbo4banger...go ahead. good find. keep us updated.
and:welcome:to TN

 

thats the info needed...good luck with it man and cant wait to see how it turns out.:thumbsup:

 

looks like it's going to be a great build! :thumbup:

 

You're a smart man to ditch the V6 :thumbsup:
But why get rid of the shell? The Mr2 would be 1000 times more fun to drive versus the Camry. The Camry just feels bulky and it's heavy.
Don't ever go V6.

 

what ever happened with your camry build rich? what are you working on now?

 

I had some bad deals with the MR2 and it turned into a money pit. It just became a headache and I didn't want to mess with it anymore.

 

very nice, thats something i want to do myself. but against your advise, id be going with a V6 swap. good luck with it man:thumbsup:.

 

UPDATES!!!

Body work, lots of body work!

And I picked up a set of used KYBs and Eibach Pro-kit as well as some used Hankook Ventus 205/40R17 tires for some rims I already had (ADR Revolutions, and I have the centre caps, just didn't put them on). I think I will sell these tires shortly though and pick up some taller ones. Suggestions? I tinted the taillights, ordered a black centre panel, short shifter, clear bumper lights, replaced both front lower balljoints, both outer tie rod ends, all 4 s-links, and the front lower control arm bushings. Also replaced all the brakes, but I haven't painted the calipers yet as I want to make sure they are all OK as they had to be super heated to unseize them. And I also installed...

OBX-R 3 inch cat back exhaust and new catalytic converter. The exhaust was bought off Ebay and is for the 97-01 Camry V6. It is high quality and sounds great, it also fit perfect once new hangers were fabbed up. Anyway, lots of work left, I will update again once the body work is done.

 

love the rims, nice choice. :thumbsup:

 

nice. can we get an exhaust vid?:naughty:

 

MORE MORE!!!! Id still love to do a 3sgte so diy as you go would be completely orgasmic =0 because i have my sources for engines and parts i just am finishing up my looks and interior bits before i finally get the performance going.

 

:bukkake:


Def Just Jizzed In My Pants....!!!.....:welcome: and I am so stoked to see another build like this.....I am going to be doing this soon.....hopefully......Love the Wheels

 

Soooooo, can I have the old wheels?!

 

^^LMAO Lynch

 

Looks great !!

So is this what you got in terms of the exhaust system?

Anything else?

 

Yup, that's the one. I just had to build hangers and I used the old hanger rubber sections and some steel and drilled holes to mount them in the floor.
