Re: 1995 camry 3sfe jdm into 5sfe car engine swap
Hello Guys !
Well , I finally got the 3sfe jdm into a 1995 Camry 5sfe car .
What we did was transfer all of the external compoents from the 5sfe engine to the 3sfe engine . We were told to treat it just like a "Long Block" engine replacement project . We utilized the ECU , Wiring Harness , Injectors , both intake and exhaust manifolds, all to the little sensors and sendors and other ancillary components that were originally attached to the OEM 5sfe engine .
The ONLY Problem we have had so far is the rough idling and poor engine performance . Also the real indicator of trouble was that the Exhaust manifold was getting extremely hot . What we have discovered is that both of the CAtalytic Convertors in the existing car chassis were plugged and not allow the exhaust gases to flow out correctly , thus the overheating manifold and poor performance .
After a trip to the local Midas store ,the car runs smoothly ans seems to be in great shape .
The original owner had stated that the engine had "Burned Up" . I wonder if the clogged Cats were the cause of the original failure ? The original 5sfe engine had only 95,000 miles on it when it failed . I would think the lowered performance would ring bells for somebody ...
Well Live and Learn .
The Moral of this story is that the 3sfe JDM 2.0 liter engines will indeed work as a replacement for the 5sfe USDM ENGINE !
GOOD L.UCK !
