Hey I'm a noob here.
Ive done a 3sgte swap in my gen 3 Camry.
Fun 2 drive

 

Nice! I bet it is extremely fun. Im tryin to kit my 5SFE into turbo someday...

 

Was it a direct bolt in?

 

Hey Steve, for the most part, yes it is. My JDM engine was from a ST185 - celica. That being said, the engine block does not have the holes for the rear mount... But being decent @ fabrication, I was able to make an adapter to make it work.

There is a lot of fine details that I learned while doing the install. Hope this answers your question.

 

It would be nice to see some pics. Your setup sounds awesome!

 

I do have pics up. Just look at the photos section & it should be under camry turbo, or my 94 camry.

 

Found 'em, thanks! Very nice and wow, quite a bit of work went into that!
Do you know how much power your making?
Stock tranny?

 

Thank you, I did the swap at home.
Initially I used the stock tranny and axles. Then one night at the drag stip, the diff gave out.

I had been previously doing research on converting the AWD to FWD. Being mechanically inclined, I learned enough to make me dangerous, & dove into it.
Hadn't dynoed the car to date, but I should be around 250ish...

 

Can you put up a photo of custom mount? Any tips bro? Im literally waiting for mine to arrive in a few days.

 

There are so many tips and details that I might have to do a write up/guide on the install.
PM me your # and I will give you a call with some pointers.
