88 camry swap??
Hello, all. I have a 1988 Toyota Camry with a 2.0L and a 5speed, and it is SLOW, as I'm sure everybody knows. I would like to make some more power with it, but I know the tranny won't hold up (barely shifts as it is) and I'm pretty sure those old 2.0L motors can't make a lot of power. So, I'm wondering if there is any kind of engine/tranny combo that would swap in without any serious sawing or other such "mods" to get it to fit. Cheap would be nice, and it has to be a manual tranny. Also, does anybody know of an AWD system that could swap in, like maybe the components from the earlier AWD camrys or tercel wagons? Thanks

Re: 88 camry swap??
one word.... 3SGTE... engine and tranny
http://www.speed-source.net/images/3...ry/camry00.htm there is no better swap unless you want to chuck in the 6cylinder (which is piss weak).

Re: 88 camry swap??
actually, the only reason I posted this in the street racing forum is because it gets an INSANE amount of traffic, and the people there seem to be knowledgable. And no, I don't want to make a super-ricey-speed-racer car out of my POS, I just want to be able to climb hills for chrissakes

Re: 88 camry swap??
Quick question, is the 3GSTE a 4 Banger or is it a V6? Also, is it a direct swap into the 4 Banger Camry as well? Is it swappable into all years of the Camry, or just the older ones?
Sorry for kind of stealing the thread.

Re: 88 camry swap??
a 3sgte is a 4cyl turbo engine, you'll probably need to make new engine mounts, figure something out for a tranny, and rewire it "

Re: 88 camry swap??
well, you can rest easy, because it's way to expensive to bother with. I'll just put up with the crap acceleration until I can buy something faster
