ok my buddy bought an 01 acura CL type S. it has a 3.2 v6 v-tech engine (230 HP plus a new injen cold air intake)with 80k miles and a brand new tranny with about 200 miles on it. its a shame that he works twice as much as he sleeps. so he wrecked it while napping at the wheel. so im trien to work out a deal with him and drop it in my celi.now i didnt do any measuring yet but im thinking this might work. im not worried about mechanical work and a lil bit of fab work. what im wondering is would i have to use the fuse panels and every lil electrical piece under the hood and dash?

Are you talking about swapping this into your 6th gen ? If so it will be a ton of custom work, you'd be better off swapping in a 3sge, 3sgte, or even a toyota v6.
I will return one day.
That's alot of work for only 230HP and some weird issues are sure to pop up. 4A-GZE, 3S-GTE or 1/3MZ-FE would be alot easier
But it's like any new swap - someone has to have the car and the engine together to say for sure.

After seeing KES-D making his own 3mz-fe swap, and all the work involved, it took about a year of work and it's still not totally "perfect".
You're going to have alot of trouble.
If you don't want to do custom wiring (speding litteraly hours and hours of studying wiring diagrams), YES you will have to basicly transplate the whole electronic of the Acura into the celica. But you're going to have to do some custom wiring anyway to link all the various component.
Then you will probably need some custom axles, motor mounts for sure, shifter linkage, exhaust.
And after all, it's not going to have the bottom torque of the toyota V6's.

you'd be further ahead buying a honda with a bad engine and swapping it in.

common guys, if there are 240s with 2JZs in them, then why not honda in a toyota?
i've even seen a 3sgte ran by a honda ECU.
i'd hate to have to wire it up, but if thats what your into, then go for it!

it would be illegal to have a different manufactures engine in side the body of a different car.
But besides that, it would not be impossible.
If they can get the engine to run on a engine stand, then you can get the car to run in any car body if it can fit. Essentially any car is just a metal frame you can bolt any engine to.
only worries you have are axles, you would have to use ALL of the honda wiring.
If you think you can do the work ... i'll give you all the props...
You better be pretty handy though.
I wouldn't do it. You'd probably run into many issues that would kill the project and ultimately your ride. A picture worth a thousand words:
Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJCurrent: 850rwhp C6 Corvette Grandsport, Gen1 6.2L Ford Raptor
it would not be illegal to put a same year or newer engine in your car no matter what manufacturer. However it has to stay in the same class "car to car" then again Cali has different rules then New York. So I dunno
And if I could, i'd put an H22a or something in a 6th gen. Toyota didn't do very well offering exciting engines to us in the U.S. Sometimes we just want a powerfull N/A and not turbo. Honda wins hands down in that dept.

that's a lot of custom stuff and money for only 230 hp. a toyota v6 would be much easier and cheaper and you'd get around the same amount of power. might as well spend all that money and time doing all the fab work to drop in a 2jz. at least that way you'll be idolized by everyone and not flamed by toyota guys.
ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.

a honda v-tec? what are you man? i don't thin anyone here would put a v-tec engine in a toyota, especially a 6gc.

Nice vision cuz you want the horsepower but totally not worth the headache. Swap a Toyota motor.... I haven't lost to 1 Honda,ever... and I think I'd give up racing if I did.
my brother has an acura cl type s, its actually 260hp
if im ever gonna do a swap id rather stay in the toyota category and drop in something like a 2jz, but then again thats just me.. some people would prefer to be "different" which makes sense..good luck id like to see this build if you ever decide to take it to another level..im pretty sure some people on here wouldnt mind giving you some pointers/help
why not just drop in a 2GRFE? more power, more compatible and it hasn't been done in a 6GC yet. not even sure if the thing fits, lol. there's always a nice juicy 3MZFE thats guaranteed to work
If you really want to drive with that motor, it would be less work to just buy and fix your buddy's honda
