hey,
i have been doing toyota swaps for years and 1mz swap is very easy mechanically speaking ..the wiring will be the harder challenge but not that bad if you study wiring diagrams..

you just need
1mz 97-01 manual ecu if you plan to run stock or no turbo etc..
solara v6 or converted mr2 tranny
gt or st205 tranny mounts
modified intermediate shaft to work with v6 bearing carrier
same axles are turbo swap
camry rad or look for one with top hose on other side of car


i could almost do a step by step on how 2 do it but just no time .. only 2 fab'ing issues will be rear header and pass side mount .. might have to use factory style set up for rear header or some cutting of rear subframe may be needed ..

if you had a front cut off a solara or camry 5 speed it you could almost make a stock looking v6 celica .. one plus is wiring to ecu go in same area as camry so there should be no need to cut it

it really is a easy swap for some one with more than just basic knowledge ..

if i did one i would s/c and you would have a great sleeper w/ 280hp

well i was tinking about it i was looking into a 94-96 camry engine just wondering how crazy the wiring would be. as long as its obdi i dont think it would present too much problem i think if i was to shift earlier and use the low end torque to an advantage the car should move a little better than expected i was just wondering how bad the understeer would be. or if anybody has done as to give me some pointers. the main reason for asking was for the trd supercharger addition i think it would be great but not too sure if it would work or not...

eh, there like 230hp stock right. the problem is the power to weight, the bigger the motor, the more it has to put out to keep up with the lighter one.

The high proformance taurus always kinda maid me laugh, dont really know why, maybe because its a family car.

Good point. But the 1MZ-FE weighs about the same as a 3S-GTE.

Look again and notice where it says "120 n2o"

My mistake I was reading the torque curve.

Yea that pretty much sums up the swap, but there is another little issue and that's the height of the motor once actually in the engine bay, i have yet to set a 7a/5s directly nexted to a 1m, but according to sbcelica i believe he once told me that the hood liked about a 1 1/2 inches (not 100%) closing. If that is the case then a gt-4 hood will clear it, with some washers. As far as everything else i don't believe it'll be as hard as a 3sgte swap, because as you said the wiring shouldn't be extremely difficult, and jegs has a radiator that will work and basically everything else is the same as a 3s swap.
