    Toyota CLAIMS that they do not want to make anymore boring cars... I don't know about you, but automatic transmissions are pretty boring! In today’s video, we fix that issue!
    This is most likely one of the ONLY manual swapped, 2GR-FE, V6 Camry's in the United States.
    It is a 08 V6 SE. It has the interior from the EXTREMELY rare TRD Toyota Aurion.
    The details of the swap involve the Gen 6 Camry from 2007-2011, but can be applied to multiple other cars as well.
    To sum things up on what cars this generally applies to, any FWD Sedan(Lexus Es350, Avalon, Aurion, Camry) that features a 2GR-FE, can utilize the parts that are shown in this video. The Sienna, Venza, and Highlander would need a custom pedal setup, but the mounts and shifter cables would work. The 2GR-FE equipped RAV4's would need a different set of mounts, and pedal as well.
    The transmission used is a E351 Manual transmission.
    The axles are the factory U660E axles, and the mounting plate is from a 02-09 Camry, and 02-08 Solara, 2.4 2AZFE Manual transmission.
    The pedal from a 02-11 Toyota Camry could be used, they DO vary slightly, but the pedal placement is the same.
    The flywheel is from a 1mz-fe equipped Toyota Camry (1998-2001).
    The clutch/pressure plate is from a 05-10 Scion TC, and its suppose to handle around 350 Ft. lbs. of torque. (Its not a stock clutch)
    Shifter cables can also come from a 02-09 Camry, or a 02-08 Solara.
    For the 07-11 Camry, in order to retain cruise control, you need to trick the ecu to believe it is in Park, in doing so, you just provide 12v to the corresponding pin on the ECU plug. You do not want to keep the car in "drive" the whole time. Since this car was made to have a automatic transmission, the ecu faults to a limp mode state, and substantially reduces timing, and retards VVT actuation. The car will still rev to the RPM limiter, but will make substantially less power. To make full power, the ECU needs to see "Neutral", where timing, and VVT actuation isn't retarded.
    I am unaware if this issue is present in the remaining cars I mentioned, but it should be noted for your future self, if you would pursue this said swap.
    I want to inform you all, that I am personally not responsible for any wrongdoing on your behalf. I'm just providing the information in this video. The part numbers could easily be obtained online, as I have provided the list of doner cars that possess those items.
    Thank you for watching!

    I had an 02 Solara with the 1MZ and 5-speed.. miss that car every day. Engine loved to rev and pull and sounded great doing it, smooth as an inline, and it was more fun to shift than the FR-S I replaced it with.
    Parents have an '18 Camry XSE V-6.. I _SO_ wish they made that with a manual because it would 100% be my car too. Even with the auto it's way more fun than it should be (and is a fantastic car besides).

      Toyota should have seriously made them manual from the factory, especially with a sportier appearance it would really sell. These cars would be a heck of a lot faster if they had a limited slip, and a manual transmission from the factory. Those solaras with the 1MZ/5speed are really rare. Barely sold even new.

    • @WiseGuyzGarage
      @WiseGuyzGarage  8 месяцев назад +4

      We did! The TRD supercharger is super hard to come by also. Eventually we want the slightly bigger one from the Evora, upgrade the brakes to the Highlander variants, and then go AWD W/a 5speed manual! The TRD Supercharger needs an intercooler, that’s why it only makes a few more HP over stock. Rumor has it Toyota was extremely conservative with the tune also.

    • @WiseGuyzGarage
      @WiseGuyzGarage  2 месяца назад +1

      Hey Ricky,
      You will need a few items to say the least. The AC compressor, lines, radiator, engine bay fuse box (chassis integration issues), radiator hoses, ac amplifier, every engine mount except the torque mount, headers, entire exhaust (4cyl is a lot smaller), instrument cluster(speedo issues), and probably a lot more other items I’m not actually aware of.
      2GR fe manual swap specific parts really involve everything you already have besides the 1MZ-FE flywheel. This is all why I highly recommend starting with the V6 first, then manual swap lol.

    Considering I use the exact same motor as the Camry 4cyl of the same generation, I'd imagine swapping that V6 in isn't impossible, but probably really involved and would require a lot of weird parts being swapped around.

    • @WiseGuyzGarage
      @WiseGuyzGarage  2 месяца назад

      In all honesty the engine bay is setup exactly like a rav4 with the 2GR. When I was looking to swap the 98 celica, I looked at the rav4 mounts and the gen2 TC mount use the same aluminum spacer bracket on the engine side. You use the same exact mounts as the 2ar rav4 as well. There is zero reason why it wouldn’t just plop in there with the rav4 engine mount on that side! The exhaust would need to be custom of course but that is the easier part. If you ever get stuck shoot me a email! Thanks for watching!!

It only takes 4 pins to be swap over on the harness to make it work. It worked great! His ecu changed the induction noise due to modifying the VVT angles, and whatnot.

    So the park/ natural switch and auto tcm? Also what clutch/ flywheel?

    • @WiseGuyzGarage
      @WiseGuyzGarage  8 месяцев назад +1

      Yes that is exactly what is going on. So the ECU actually adjusts the VVT Tables ( from my understanding) depending if it is detecting if the torque converter is engaged or not. It will put the engine in a "limp mode" state if it suspects the transmission is faulty, and searches for the code involving that. When the ECU thinks it is in drive, and doesn't detect the TCM, cruise control DOES work, but it will NOT have full power. The switch is there to basically go from neutral, (this retains full power at all times) back into drive JUST for cruise control. Thankfully Frankenstein Motorwork's exists, and if you are serious about the swap, I can 100% confirm the switching from different gears is mitigated/no longer necessary with his ECU. I tried the 08 Rav 4 ECU that is in my 91 MR2 2GR swap in this car, and it worked! He cannot tune the factory Camry ECU because it Requires the Immobilizer to be present, and cannot be cracked. Using the early Rav4 ECU is quite easy, and only needs a few wires moved around in the harness. The immobilizer will resync to your car upon completing the connection on the harness, as the ECU he sells is basically tricked to return back to a virgin state. Hopefully this helps, and thank you for watching!

    idk anything about cars but my car is manual and its a toyota camry ce with stock engine, do you recomend this engine for this car? my engine broke down and i need to find a new one

    • @WiseGuyzGarage
      @WiseGuyzGarage  5 месяцев назад

      If you happen to need to replace the 2AZ with a 2GR, you’ll need to replace a lot of other components, like the ac compressor, cooling fans, engine bay harness, fuse box modifications, and the drivers side mount to name a few. If your looking to convert a manual Toyota Camry CE into a v6, your best bet is to find another v6 model with a blown transmission, and swap all of the transmission components over into a v6 chassis. Hope that helps!

    • @WiseGuyzGarage
      @WiseGuyzGarage  8 месяцев назад +2

      Yes it will indeed bolt up. No carrier bearing will work for it. We made a custom one when we had the eb62 in this car. You would need custom mounts and brackets for all 3 mounts. I personally don’t prefer them anymore. It’s all too common to have bearing failures. The cv axles for the narrow e swap work for the eb60/62

    How can I go about to do this for a 2.4l 2008 camry?

    • @WiseGuyzGarage
      @WiseGuyzGarage  6 месяцев назад

      If it’s a manual 2azfe Camry, you would need the entire engine assembly from a 2GR fe. Ac lines, ecu, harness; and modify the engine bay fuse box. You also need to swap the radiator, and fan controller to work with the v6. Ac amplifier is the same, but you need to make sure the amplifier is from the same style Camry. (LE, XLE, etc.) the 2azfe manual transmission cv axles will work, but they are weaker. That’s a few things, and I’m sure there’s more I’m not aware of. That’s why I recommend getting a v6 car to start with, as all of the chassis integration is already set up properly. Hopefully that helps!

  • @burntbisquit7633
    @burntbisquit7633 6 месяцев назад +2

    So probably best way to start is to find a manual car first? I wonder if a 2gr would bolt up to an 02-06 Camry as well

    • @WiseGuyzGarage
      @WiseGuyzGarage  6 месяцев назад +2

      So a 2GR will bolt up to a 02-06 Camry 5 speed as well because the transmission is the exact same 02-09. Mounts and all are the same as well. It’s easier to start with a 2GR car to avoid all of the extra wiring, AC, etc.
