really, what's the point?

I am all for doing things that are different and have no practical use, but at the end of the day, you have a camry making 700+. I just don't see the return on the time and money involved here. I don't even think there would be all that much 'fun' to be had.

I think the sleeper aspect of it would fly out the window as soon as one hits the gas. The massive blow dryer sound would be a dead give away... then again, this car would have traction issues in almost any foreseeable scenario. Who wants to go from-a-roll @ 70 mph?

The point is it would be a LOT of fun to see drivers in their pride-full muscle cars get their @ss kicked by an old camry. 😀

The other points are that he loves his camrys as well as building engines, nothing wrong with that, and that this is probably for fun at the strip, not for racking up tickets and showboating on the street. What's it for anyone else to say the return is not worth the time and money invested (except his wife 😀.)

He's also got a business in performance tuning...it's what he does.

Actually that's nothing compared to his Toyota Supra TT with 1044 whp. 😱

He posts here about the camry as well as number of other vids.

Looks like he might be a ticket machine after all, lol.

LOL nah I've got the Cobra for the serious stuff.

I just need the Camry to have a nice easy 300-400 WHP 91 octane street build for all the stock V6 Mustangs and Altimas lowered with tinted windows that have to strut there stuff every time they see a beater when I'm NOT in the Cobra. :awe:

There is no point, there is no return on investment, and I don't care if it only runs 14s at 150 mph at the track. A 400 HP Camry will still roll away and embarrass your average BMW, Mustang, 350z etc on the street that feels the need to elevate themselves by picking on beaters but who won't get near you in a real car. I mean it's not like it's Vipers and Z06s and Cobras hunting me down in my Camry, it's just random little douchebags in shitty average commuter cars that just happen to be 1% faster than a stock Camry and who think they are somebody because of it. 300-400 WHP from a 2.0L 4 cyl will be plenty to take care of business from a purely self defense point. 😀

All those mid 90's toyotas have some killer swaps

SC300's with the turbos
Supras, enough said
MR2's with V6's or modded turbos

Take the 5Sp out of a tacoma or off the 3.0 I-6 to put on alot of cars.

It's really anything but the corolla... its a shame since the civic gets all the attention from that decade for compact performance.

Another car I wish we got the true version of was the sentra SE-R with turbo. I don't think hondas would be in such demand if those car companies released sporty versions of their economy cars.

good thing my Z is boosting 15 psi. would definitely be embarrassing to be pulled on by a camry.... seriously though, there will always be something faster

with FWD, I have driven legit 300whp fwd cars and it is just stupid. sure you can get a bit of traction from a roll, but in this case 700+, unless you have stock in tire companies, there doesn't seem to be much else it could do besides burn up tires. Sure the dyno pulls are cool, and no doubt cool coming from something as unsuspecting as a camry. I guess why not build something at least a bit worthwhile? or show of some true fab skills and do a RWD or AWD setup on the same car.

/rant.

I'll put my flame suit on.

I already have something "worthwhile". Like I said, I have the Cobra to take care of stuff that's actually fast. I just want to bring a 95 Camry up to par with today's average sea of 300 HP sedans and then a tiny bit more for good measure. If it's just $3-4k worth of junk, why not? Complete engine ($1500), trans ($500), plug and play custom swap harness ($500), and misc odds and ends like a cheap Ebay FMIC and plumbing kit. The rest is just welding up some mounts and axle brakets, and a budget exhaust job at an exhaust shop. New V6 CVs are only like $40 even. Pick and pull a spare sub frame for like $50 so I can mock it all up outside the car even. The wiring is really the hardest part of the swap, and I can pay an expert on these swaps around $500 for a plug and play harness if I don't feel like peeling and soldering wires for a week. This pretty much reduces the effort of the swap to a weekend of welding up 3 mounts and cutting holes in the splash shields for the intercooler plumbing.

Just for fun man, it's just a cheap and dirty 5S to 3S swap, nothing insane, not looking to break any records or race any TT Lambos with it. I'll be content with walking stock G35s in my 16 year old beater 😀 I guess if you don't have a beater that you love to death and the only thing you hate about it is being singled out by everyone because it's the slowest thing on the road, I guess you wouldn't understand 😉

The guy in this video is running a twin turbo V6 with a completely machined and sleeved block, etc. Not even close to the simple used stock engine swap and BPUs I have in mind.

Yeah, that's not 700+whp but still awesome. :thumbsup:

What drives an owner of an old camry do something like this?...perhaps 130-ish stock hp @5k rpm's might have something to do with it??? 😛 Yours is definitely a sleeper, because most other gen3/4 2.2l camry's are completely asleep. 😀 I love the economy and practicality of the car in general tho, and think the modding you're doing rocks.

What drives the owner? Deep seated psychological issues, the same issues that drove other camry owners to buy "faster" cars to take care of fast stuff, like a cobra for instance. It still can't turn so all you really have to do is turn to out run it, similar to the camry in the OP. Yeah, it's fast, but a torque steer non-handling bucket, good for dynos, that's about it. 😛
 
How dare you mock my religion and his holiness Clarkson?!!! :biggrin:

Hey exdeath, what's that round thing in front of you when you sit in your car? Why is it there?

LOL.

Why all the hate for fwd? Nobody who mods fwd cars thinks its the best platform. I guarantee a 700+ HP anything is going to make you grin and feel 8 years old again no matter what its in.

Yeah, you'll smoke the tires to 100.... But you'll still be passing that 280HP RWD car in the other lane while spinning.

To keep the front end straight when the drag radials plant, of course :biggrin:
