Dave, Goforth wants to meet you, and you'd obviously love the Toyota trash. When are you, the wife, and the furious midget vacationing in Asheville?

How are the mounts and wiring , I did a 3sgte to 3sgte and felt like killing someone; took me about 10 hours. A sohc in a ef takes me about 1.5 hours. :1

why not the 3.5 v6 form newer toyotas

Mounts were custom of course actually they were just a combination of mr2/camry/tacoma mounts with a nice pretty 1/2" steel plate on teh timing belt side....the 5VZ/3VZ bolts up to any of the "S" series trannys, the wiring was not easy, but you really only needed massair sig, tps power/sig, coolant temp power/sig, etc. so a lot of the misc tacoma crap was eliminated like the abs sig and k-line.

E-throttle owns you, theres alot of inputs the new e-throttle sys. looks for that we didnt care to/ or want to include on the mr2s. Im sure it could be done, but the 5VZ is an awesome design (in some ways better than the 2JZ) and can handle boost. Its only real weakness is the stock cast pistons, and the weenie factory cams. Very good head design. With the V6 installed, its ACTUALLY EASIER to work on an Mr2!!!
Every V6 swap that has come thru the shop has been boosted.

I'd like to throw a 5mzfe in my celica after I destroy the current project.

We'd be glad to help, I've wanted to do a 5VZ swap in a GT/GTS chassis for quite some time now, I just cant have another car.

Damn I love it, I like the pic's you posted, any pic's of the mounts or a little write up?

MR2 Gurl

Really only one mount needs significant modification, but requires a custom carrier bearing mount as well for the right hand axle. Unfortunately I dont have anything solid written up on a how-to basis other than CADs for the mount and carrier mount, but those will cost you

jinxy

using a 3vzfe do you still need a new carrier mount? i assume the timing belt side mount is fairly simple, no? I definitely want to do a v6 swap sometime in the future.
