theres a mechanic for toyotas down here in florida who put a supra engine in a celica and was successful, he did major modification though . i think they had to cuz through the firewall and extend it. I have not seen it though, so i really cant beleive it to its full extent. But the person who told me is a very reliable source.

It was probably very costly, but would u rather have a supra or a celica with the supra speed

why dont u take a second and think about that, roll up next to someone in ur supra is one thing, but a celica

and i doubt it was the cost of 3 supras, i doubt even the cost of one supra in good condition, but then again i am not the installer, just the relayer ill see wut new info arose on monday

yes, the celica is WAY lighter... but less structurally sound.

I am guessing it's not a turbo 2jz?

i just love how my post got censored!

wut did u intend to say?

Its good to hear that there are still people pushing the limits of the Celica as far as motor swaps go. It’ll be good to hear the swap is successful and if the guy did all the work and fabricate all his own parts/mounts then the price shouldn’t be that expensive.

But then again only time will tell.

I really don’t see why the supra motor will not fit in the Celica. I remember seeing a movie about an 86 corolla with a 3 rotor Cosmo motor in it people said it couldn’t be done but it worked. Also I remember seeing a picture of a 3rd gen Celica/supra with a 7mgte or was it a 2jz motor in it. Also wasn’t it a while back on ebay some guy that was selling his 240 sx that had the RB26-DET motor swapped into it, and the 240 has a small ass engine bay. Also I remember seeing a local guy I from So Cal with a 1970 datsun 510 that also had a RB26-DET and a 454 big block in a 2100 pound car. So I don’t see why a supra motor will not fit in a Celica. Just need a lot of relocating of parts and fabrications.

But like I said before only time will tell.

i think it can be done i think he did do it but I would have to say it wouldnt be a celica afterwards a but hey my friend has a chevette with 350 in it and it halls butt it might twsit around off the line but hey onetime he almsot tipped it going up a hill he was stopped and florred it and the front end picked up and he almost rolled back wards (he has big tires on the back)

IMHO, i feel that this WHOLE topic should just be left alone until there are pics...

people have opinions for a reason, they will not be swayed easily...
and if there is anything to sway em, make another sticky, or add to the current one about the 2JZ swap.

I think this thread is dead. Pics were supposed to be posted 2 weeks ago and nothing. The only thing I can come up w/ is that the photoshoping didn't turn out as planned. >>

Too bad though

This Thread is worthless period.
