I know this is not an Celica but to show where future of Celica tuning may go
i thought it would be good info . I know we have dreamers out there wanting
a ST205 with turbo v6 and this along with berto's swap show it can be a reality.
I have a ST205 and i do have an extra 2GR laying around...hmmmm

Click on stock silver Avensis to see beginning of swap , it is also labeled #1

Sorry it is all in Russian but who needs it when pics do all the talking

This version of Avensis uses same chassis as ST246 Caldina ,Scion TC is also same but mainly in suspension design and mounting .

Yeah that's a cool build, thanks for sharing!

The TRD supercharged version of the 2GR-FE found in the TRD Aurion in Australia would be an epic swap in a ST205!!!

I know its been done but its got to be a real nightmare trying to fit a transfer case and rear header all back there. I know the steering rack is lower on the All-Tracs, but its going to take some serious fabrication to get the AWD trans to fit the 2GR and have the rear header all back there.

I remember someone putting a 1MZ on a RAV4 AWD trans but i dont know what happened with that project.

I have ST205 , extra 2gr and extra TRD Aurion S/C . hmmm lol .

when the time comes, get a st205, scrap the 3sgte and put in 2 gr. Body modifications are nil... really. I have 2 cm of clearance now, after pounding..... no need to fabricate anything.

or even in an 5th gen altracc. Ive been trying to stir things in celicatech....

Forgman, the secret mount you sent me works, just need to make a bracket to adapt bracket to chassis, and it will be reversible.

2gr is the future of swaps. all we need is a manual ECU
