    Mk1.5 or 1.6???

    So im currently looking for my donor car and am wondering which is the easiest and cheapest swap 3vz-fe or 3sgte and what should i budget for each (excluding wheels, tyres, brakes etc. )

    Are the guides in the download a complete guide start to finish?

    I understand this has probably been covered before but cant find much (link to another thread would be fine) , id prefer to go v6 but from what i can gather theres a lot more work (but hmmmm the noise)


    Ps i am a mechanic so the general mechanics, cutting, welding shouldn't be an issue

    Hi,

    I'm a big fan of the V6 engines, and ive looked into the turbo set-ups but they look much more complex mechanically. Perhaps i'm lazy though.

    What i can tell you is that you can pickup a Camry V6 for £500-£1000 (3vz / 1MZ). With some careful buying and selling, you can achive a conversion for under a grand (total spend) and if youre a totally pikey person like me, £500.
