So I am goign to be swapping out my 5sfe for a 3sgte... but i got to think that i'd love to have a 6 speed tranny for it... so why not put a supra tranny on it? that got me thinking more, why not stuff a supra motor in instead of a 3s... So...

Has anyone put in a Supra V6 into their celica?
I know someone swapped in a v6...

Would a Supra tranny work for a FWD drive car?

Has anyone put in a 6 speed tranny on a 3sgte?

Pro's Con's... lets hear it...

I guess i missed tht fourm, thanks...

I know its a straight 6... was just talking out loud... if someone swapped in a v6 (biger than our I4's could you swap in a bigger I6) i got it...

But what about putting in a 6 speed tranny that would mount to a 3sgte?
Anybody... I still can find anything in the fourms about it:/ maybe im just blind:)

See the problem with an inline 6 drop, you would have to do a rwd conversion too. too much work imo.

If you want a 6speed so bad get a 4age motor. I forgot which one black top or silver top that works good with a 6 speed tranny.

why do you want a 6 speed? e153 is fine. heck my s54 is fine (so far) i dont think i need to go faster than 190mph...

To my knowledge there is no 6 speed tranny that would bolt up to the S block.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

It would be unnecessary to do, the E153 has plenty of top end for you to ever want.

That'll be sure a hell of a lot of modding seeing that our engines are horizontal and the supra motor is vertical lined up in the engine bay, plus the 6 speed tranny (from a supra i'll assume) is RWD so you'll have to re-do all the cables and links. It's way too much work and the 2jz motor, you'll be pushing out so much power for our car to even handle unless you have AWD, like the people I see who mod their 3s motor over 400+hp, in my opinion is odd because we're only FWD, your tires are gonna be ripping off the line like mad--but then again usualyl those people have the e153 tranny which has LSD in it.
So your best bet is the 4age motor, and to bccentaur3, i think it's the silver top which was compatible for the 6spd. And if you think that motor is a sissy, then drop some nos in it biggrin.gif

you got it the other way around.

People are taking the 6 speed tranny out, and making an adapter plate to use the mr2 tranny.

But you won't be keeping the motor FWD - and you'll have to turn the entire motor around. Not sure how that equates to simple.

Back to the 2jz talk....
Go for it. With enough time and money, almost anything can be done. Hell, you can even build a car from scratch or build a 2jz powered motor cycle. It all depends on how deep your pockets are.

Bolting a supra trans to a 3sgte is the easy part. 150bucks for a new bell housing off ebay is all you need. Anyone can do that.
The hard part is being able to afford all the parts, and doing all the custom fabrication it would take to make everything work.
There is a big difference between wanting to do it, and actually doing it.

I've ran into about 4 of them on ebay so far. If someone wants one, it wouldnt be too hard to get it.
If paying a few extra bucks for overseas shipping is too much.... then its probably not a good idea to get into this type of thing. The bell housing is probably the least expensive part of the whole project.
