Hi everybody. I'm new to celica's and toyotas in general after coming from mainly building 13b rotarys. I found a nice 1998 Gt with an excellent body( which is very rare here) but the water pump failed and it over heated so it was sold cheap. The only motor here for sale are 2001 Camry motors. I know both engines are roughly the same except the Camry has coils. My question is can I swap the 2001 Camry motor in? I need to keep it the same motor for autoX classing. Can I swap the distributer over along with my other accessories and make it work or does the celica head need to be swapped over to the Camry block? Any info would be great. Thanks

I think it would be fun to experiment with. And it really really depends on the course. It would do just fine on a fast course, but it would be HORIFFIC on a tight course. I raced an event last month where the course was so tight even my car did terribly ( I can imagine it would have been much worse with a 3S)
I can see a 3SGE being a bit more versatile throughout the different courses you get good point bringing that up This post has been edited by Tigawoods: Nov 1, 2013 - 9:47 AM --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |
