Engine swap Camry into Celica ST184

[alloo]

G'day everyone,can someone share their opinion or experience please.

I try to put a 5sfe engine of 96 Camry into 90 Celica ST184,but I noticed apart some difference in mounting holes.

There are also different in camshaft and injectors set ups,the cam lobe from the Celica is smaller and has sharper angle and the Celica's injector has yellow color code while the Camry has green color.

I just wondering whether the engine will start right up or maybe it will have issue with drive-ability later on?

Thanks guys

You are trying to swap a rev two 5s into a car with a rev one engine... you can use the long motor (block/head) but you will need to use all of your original mounts, manifolds, electronics, etc, etc.

The cams are also slightly more aggressive from memory on the rev two, so keep those.

hi Mick,

thanks for your comment greatly appreciate it..sorry for the delay.

So you reckon the ECU will re-learn with the slight aggressive cam setting?

And what do you think about the balance shaft,if I removed it will it affecting the engine life???

cheers,Jeff

I wouldn't be removing it IMO, the ecu probably wont compensate, but the difference is quite small so it wont matter.
