ok on the 97-01 es 300 is that engine the same in the 92-96 es 300? what I am trying to say is will it bolt directly up to a 92-96? also what is the hp different between both engines?

 

It's the same basic engine. It will drop in for the most part.
You will need new engine management.
hp isn't worth it. 189 -194 - 210.

You can spend $300-400 on what you have now & make that.

 

so the 96 has 189-194 hp and the 97- 01 has 210 hp?
what do you mean spend $400 to get that expain please

 

you can spend about 400 bucks on aftermarket engine mods and boost up your horsepower of the 92-96 engine to equal and exceed the horsepower of the 97-01 engine

 

Exactly.
You're looking at about $4000 to drop a new 1mz-fe it.
Around $2000+ for a used one with any sort of history.
I'm sure either sean or I will turbo your current engine for that & come out with atleast a hundred hp more than any currently possible toyota engine swap could do.
For the cost of a new engine, you could drop on the ****ty TRD Supercharger. For a bit more you cuold upgrade it so it doesn't destroy your engine & get descent power from it 2.



What I'm getting at, is that no engine swap is going to be worth the power gained.

 

Well, like you said in other threads Pheonix, they're not really the same (different block types), but in a way they are kinda the same. And I think the horsepower is more like 92-93 163-185, 94-96 188, and 97+ 210.

 

He's talking 1mz-fe's.
94-96 = 189bhp
97+ Camry = 194bhp
97+ ES = 200bhp
98+ ES / '03+ Camry 1MZ-FE VVT-i A.K.A 1MZ-FE VVT-i BEAMS = 210

 

I just saw this for sale on ebay . just thought to share with you . I know this is not 1997 + . But this engine has 40 - 60 K miles at such a cheep price .
