Hey guys,

1MZ-FE engines are easy to find, however having some difficulty tracking down an E153 manual gearbox. Has anybody had any luck tracking one down previously and if so what kinda money do they sell for on average?

Did we plant a little seed about this? When I did the manual swap it was $600 being fairly rare to find. But this was done through "city parts" where they are like agents and source it for you so it may cost more this way.

good to know... still undecided as to which way I go atm... 2ZZ-GE's are rare to find too but go for about $1600 (not including wiring loom or gearbox) which is an expensive exercise when for $1100 - $1300 roughly u can get the 1MZ-FE + manual gearbox (from what you've said)... only problem is that amount of power going to the front wheels. Although other front wheel drives punch out higher kw's... and the corolla already has 4 wheel disc brakes, the power to weight shouldn't be an issue. Shoe-horning the set up into the small engine bay might be. All in all - more expensive 2ZZ-GE which would be easier to fit, or the 1MZ-FE which is cheaper to purchase but may cost more to fit if possible at all...

OR

I could just leave it alone and wait til its paid off and get something else... in the meantime while I stew over it I can focus on Project: Kei...

on that note, does the E153 out of the AW20 - AW22 MR2 have the same fitment, i.e. transfer case and belhousing? if so there are more E153's for them advertised than there are for the Camry Touring / Sportivos.

lol if you can fit a 5sgte, you can fit a 1mz since they are both from Camrys. :P

The E153 are available on the V6 Camrys, GT4 Celicas and the MR2. If you get the MR2 you will need to mod the selectors input to the other side of the box to run it as fwd. The GT4 needs a bit more work but you can block it off and make it a fwd too.

Too much power to the front wheels? Pffft! 540hp at the front wheels is still drivable as proven by Tonythetiger :P

It may just be me but the 1MZ looks bigger than the 5SG...

And I still wanna make it legal, so 540hp at the front wheels is all good in theory, but i won't even be coming close to that and I don't wanna get pulled over and not have a leg to stand on. Isn't the 5SG a 4 cylinder? (I'm just guessing based on the fact its 2.2L). So my best options to find a box would be an E153 out of a camry, but failing that one out of an MR2 would be my next best choice?

The 5S-FE is a 2.2lt 4cyl... the 5SG is a hybrid motor made from a 3SG head and a 5S Bottom end.

Any E153 will be fine, alhtough the GT4 and MR2 ones will need some work.

Have you concidered doing a 4AGZE (or GTE) or 20V swap... would be MUCH easier...

Stu doesn't like that idea at all. I mentioned it to him on Thursday night.

The 5s and 1mz comes from a camry so in reality if you can fit one you canfit the other. But maybe the 5sge or even a 3sge however 3sge would probably cost more.

And if you can find a gen4+ camry 5speed, it would be easiest. On the other hand if you aren't going for huge torque then the 4 banger gearbox could work and is cheap too. Mick wouldknow more about them.

The S53(4 Cyl Camry) gearbox should be good for 300whp before it goes kaboom, i'll try push that theory as much as possible. Stu the 5S-GTE is what I'm currently building, well it may be a 5S-GE for a while.

the other option is going for an auto box and making it a GT style cruiser... auto box is easy to find, but once again shoe-horning that in as well as a big engine may be an issue... kinda like that idea tho...

1MZ-FZE w/ 4 speed auto (and possibly some sort of squential auto set up) could be interesting... get some aftermarket cruise control on there...

No, I was saying that an auto for lazy driving could be interesting if there was some way of making a sequential auto modification i.e. paddle shift on the steering wheel for ****s and gigs...

The auto is bigger and heavier. And not suitable if you want more torque than a stock 1mz. Mine started dying a year and a bit into boost.

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      That's a dual-cab tub, much shorter than the single-cab. It's also an 8th-gen Hilux tub, the OP has a 7th-gen @rckly Redbook seems to show the single-cab tub was available in the 2WD low-rider spec, for the high-rider/4WD it came as king-cab or dual cab only (cab-chassis available for all shapes and sizes)

      Toyota Landcruiser problems

      Hi This is not so much to the forum but to Toyota who i cannot contact!! Purchased new 300 Landcruiser ($120k) & generally happy with the drive but frustrated with fixing problems. bonnet need restuffing took me 5 Toyota dealerships & a lot time i cannot afford for a 3 day job afer it had been booked into Heidelberg & on collection did not perform the stuffing to stock it shaking & reflecting strong sun light into drivers eyes when vehicle was clean. when i collected vehicle from overnight service (2 days) after 2nd visit with some booking confusion they told me they need vehicle for 3 days just prior to me driving from Melbourne to Flinders rangers SA again very costly in time to me because a bolt had fallen out of turbo charger (20k klm). i have had a list if issues none of the 5 Toyota dealerships visited can resolve: no guests can close the rear hatch because you need to slam it & most do not have the strength even if they new what to do - seal has been replaced. i have never been able to understand logic of why no rear hatch release was included in vehicle, 1st vehicle i have owned without boot release? no location for key apart from centre console where key is lost amongst so many items unable to reverse any trailer, boat or horse float as vehicle brakes & locks up which is dangerous to horses being thrown & reversing into drive with traffic on a busy road - every possible idea has been suggested again very expensive on my time but no one can resolve! Unable to get google maps or music without plugging cord into phone - very aged technology but safari same vehicle does not need cord!! do not understand this logic other than justifying another $20k Radio or music must be reloaded after each phone call or restarting vehicle - some 6-8 buttons to reload music - very frustrating. AM 3AW is muffled & very poor quality (not my hearing). Alarm of beeping drivers door cannot be turned off - i do not need vehicle to alarm warning me of drivers door open as i am the one who purposely have left door open - very frustrating & no need for alarm beeping, cannot turn this off!! Ordered dark interior but got light interior ?? which i accepted on the condition the carpet was not light beige, guess what it was. Why would a country farm 4 wheel drive have white carpet? Toyota what are you thinking? i have a black cattle working dog so my rear interior is trashed & the fabric entraps dog hair unlike a good quality wool carpet, poor quality synthetic which is not serviceable like previous BMW quality. i would love Toyota direct (not dealerships / agents who are not trained) to help me resolve direct. Direct contact with Toyota not possible, customer service from dealerships disappointing based on cost of vehicle, i believe i am a very reasonable person.

      Fuel Filter - Change or not

      This is the conundrum: 200 series Landcruiser diesel. As the fuel filter get dirtier, in theory it is filtering more as it is becoming somewhat restrictive. As long as the fuel pressure remains the same on the other side, should you change the filter. I know of owners who change their fuel each time they change engine oil. This is not the same as an air filter which as it get dirty it restrict the air flow. Or do you simply change the filter because it's 'the right thing to do'?

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      I bought my 2006 ATX Aurion back in 2015/2016 with 160,000 KMs on the odometer. 8 years and 100,000+ KMs later, still going strong. I do a lot of preventative maintenance with regular engine oil changes. Transmission fluid has been changed and also the coolant. In that time period, I have replaced the water pump, alternator and both front and rear struts/shock absorbers. In hindsight, I have replaced brake pads much sooner than needed. Overall, future maintenance should not be expensive.

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi Reece, I've been trying to reply to this post, but for some reason the site wouldn't let me. On one of my morning walks, with my dogs, there is a Hi Lux tub sitting on the nature strip. I know nothing about it, except that I think the owner could well sell it, but hasn't. I will attach a photo for you, and if you are interested I will email you the address, if you PM me with it. Note that it is in Geelong, Victoria, maybe a good reason to visit. . Herb
