Okay, sorry if its a repost, but, heres my thought, if the camry's engione bay holds the tc engine, why can ours hold the camry v6, same with the rav4??? How much do u thnk it wud cost?

 

maybe because the Carmy uses a different transmission?? any who i dont think it would cost that much.

 

Too bad there's no manual trans for that V6. An extra 100hp would be a good thing in a tC.

 

I know its gonna cost a butt load... but if you have money anything is possible

 

Maybe if you are doing ALL of the work and fabrication.

 

your right but i meant if Scion put it into production..you know instead of the optional s/c you can get an optional v6 powerplant.

 

yea, its definately not an easy pick up and drop in kinda deal.

Just because it was in the Camry and the RAV4 means it fits, you still have to have all custom mounting and isntallation to make it happen, just like with (most) any engine swap


edit: offering two engine options is very likely not going ot be cost effective enough for the projected lower volume or sales Scion expects to see each year.

 

That extra power would be cool, but the extra weight up front would suck.

 

maybe if you searched you would realized someone already took the camery v6 and swapped it to the tC

 

 

so where is this dave? i've heard nothing of it, and apparently none of the people above have either.

edit: so i found this: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=183490

but that's an older camry v6, not the new 250hp one.

 

thats him but he has a nice long thread on scionlife

 

sigh

while its a v6 and from a Camry ... its the wrong v6

 

its the only v6 attempted to be in a tC.

 

God I must be old in scionlife years. As soon as I saw this topic I was expecting someone to jump all over the been done and link.
