Hey guys i'm thinking of swapping a 2grfe into my ae92, but i'm having a very very hard time finding an E153. My question is will it be worth it to find one, a year ago I rebuilt my s54 with a Quaife LSD and replaced some syncro's and worn gears. I may use the s54 for now, it just seems very difficult to find a FWD e153 and I can't find to much info on anyone's preference to the E53's. I don't drag race and I use my car mainly for hpde track events and autocross. However on the back of my mind I feel like why put an engine with good power in if I can't even abuse it without something breaking.
Also one big think that may make this swap hard is the amount of space I have, I know the 6th gen celica has way more room. I'm not to worried because cutting and welding isn't a problem. here's what I mean by my space issue.

hav you looked on car-part.com? thats where i found my E153.
on a side note, if you havent seen the other 1MZ swap i did, i used a stock S54 and even on the 1MZ it hauled ass! Im real curious to see what numbers it makes. the MZ swap is so much easier than a 2GR, it there is no fitment issues This post has been edited by Smaay: Jan 18, 2015 - 11:28 PM -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
