Ok so I recently bought a Chevy cruze that came with the 1.4 ecotech turbocharged engine. And I was wondering if you could put a Chevy engine on the Celic. Obviously it's not something I plan on doing, but just wondering if that's something that could be done. From what I remember it has. 138 hp stock can't remember the torque but I see some hitting 200 with a good tune, intake, and exhaust. I figured this would be a cool project since everything seems like it would fit in a Celica.

Hah true, for the custom work needed and cost involved... There's a lot more cost effective swaps.
I was just thinking about 8 cylinders possibly fitting transverse in our celicas

I think it's just the rx8 swaps I see (mainly on the internet lol) that get me jealous

Btw sorry if I confused some people, by vr8 I really meant w8, wasn't thinking right at the time of my previous comment...
