this thread is full of so much win!

 

I don't think it will give more than turbo. Camry v6 give 258 crank HP

so i rather go turbo.

I don't think is legal to change the engine.

 

Its not the HP that's the kick with this swap it's the torque, 1st gear is almost useless with the V6, not so with the S/C motor. I had 2 before the swap, Toyota replaced the 1st one + S/C, then S/C took crap, then no compression on #1 for the second time, I don't think the 2.4 is up to it, TRD's BAD. Can turbocharging this dog be any better? I didn't get over 15K miles out of either S/C motor. Maybe using the K&N cold air was a factor, but it was way faster with it. I haven't installed that on the V6 yet. I'm sure it will be way scarier. I'll need a new final gear to make 1st gear useful.

 

loooks beautiful.

i want to see some vids of that thing

 

I'm old, but have video capability, what do you want me to video? Driving in the car? Driving past the camera? Give me some ideas on what a good video would consist of...

We have a dyno at work, I could try to use it, is it really necessary to strap it down?
I'm thinking this motor is probably making 240-250 hp since it spanks my buddy's GXP GP. That makes 303, but weighs 3800.

Also, first gear lasts less than a second at WOT and you have to watch hitting the rev limiter in 1st and 2nd, which is a miserable 6200 rpm. The rev limiter kills the potential HP, since it won't spin as high as it can. I think that this and exhaust design are what's different between a Sienna and Camry engine.

 

wrong....perfectly legal

 

sick

 

damm, i was expecting another "so what do u guys think if i try to shoehorn a v6 into the tc???" thread, lol

shut me up seeing finished pics, lol

great job! definitely looks stock!

 

yeah that would amazing if you had a DIY more people would try this. It looks completely stock. Get some numbers, and sir you are AWESOME hahaha

 

Yea A parts list would be great.

 

holy _______ ____. No way. Now that's awesome.

 

So other than the ECU what was the biggest obstacle?? im a noob but would a standalone ecu be of help ?? ....i can only imagine adding a turbo to it hehe

 

Looks right at home in that engine bay...

 

do you have an exhaust? or just stock exhaust?

 

Wow.

Simply stunning and beautiful. A V6 tC...now if only Toyota would've done this out of the factory.

*sigh*

 

____! its about time someone did it and didn't just talk about it, looks like it came that way from the factory!

was there a significance in weight?

 

But to pass emissions the VIN in the ECU has to match the VIN on the car...

I know this because it was discussed on "Trucks" when they were doing the Hemi/Wrangler marriage

 

I'd so go up to Elk Grove to see this!

 

About the trans, would using an auto camry trans work with the right mounts?
and in regard to the mounts, how much modification was needed?

 

wow nice
