Is It Possible To Replace The 4 Cylender Engine In My 97 Toyota Corolla With A V6

When it comes to Toyota Camry cars, which is better, a 4-cylinder or a 6-cylinder engine?

The 4 cylinders without question.The perfect engine is one with 6 cylinders inline with each other, an inline 6 cylinder or V12. If believe in karma, 6 cylinders inline with each other have perfect balance. There’s no jerking because for every cylinder moving up, there’s a cylinder moving down, perfectly off setting yin and yang. Most of your legendary long lasting engines are straight 6 cylinder layouts.4 cylinders inline, 4 cylinders and V8s, are the next best thing, like 6 cylinders there’s no jerking around because cylinders balance each other out, however a row of 4 cylinders does create vibration that has to be managed by other mechanical means.A 3 cylinder layout, V6s have the vibration, but at to that a harsh jerk because there’s no offsetting cylinder and has to be made up for with a balancing shaft. No matter how good the engineers are, that balancing shaft won’t be perfect and will wear the engine. Typical Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys with V6s will last 200,000 miles, but the 4 cylinders will last 300–400,000 miles because it’s more in balance.In short, V6s are the work of the devil.

Can I put a V6 engine into a 4-cylinder car?

If the car was originally delivered with both types of engines, it might not even be very hard.There are some special considerations though. The first generation of Saab 9–5 was delivered with three choices of engine (I’m leaving out the diesel engines, they shouldn’t be in cars anyway), a 2.0t I4, a 2.3t I4, and a 3.0t V6. The 3.0t was only delivered with an automatic transmission, while the smaller engines were delivered with both types. Converting a 9–5 2.0 manual to a 3.0 automatic is probably going to be more work than converting a 2.0 automatic to 3.0 automatic.Then, on the other hand, you might achieve your goals in much easier ways than complete engine swaps, depending on what those goals are. As original, the 2.0t has 150 hp and 240 Nm, while the 3.0t has 200 hp and 310 Nm. If the goal is to increase power and torque, a simple software upgrade to the 2.0t will give you 210 hp and 320 Nm, meaning you get more power and torque than the 3.0t, while retaining the better fuel economy of the 2.0t. Of course, the 3.0t could also be software upgraded, but it is a very strange engine that is very hard to get much extra power from, so you’ll probably increase the power only from 200 to 220 hp. If you want more power than a simple software upgrade will give the 2.0t, changing to a bigger turbo and more open exhaust can make that little engine yield much more power than the weird 3.0t could ever hope for. Strangely, the 2.3t was sold completely original in a version with 260 hp and 350 Nm, noticeably more than the original 3.0t, so the Saab 9–5 was faster with the strongest type of original 4-cylinder engine than it was with the V6.However, if your goal is smoothness rather than outright power, the V6 would probably win every time.
