Im planning on swapping out my 5sfe from my celica asap . The engine has more than 200k miles and is still running but not so strong. Transmission is getting there too. It's time to rebuild her but, I've never owned a Toyota only previous cars were a evo 8 ( rip ) car accident.. And a em1 which I sold to travel across Europe. Now those cars I had already ideas on what I wanted to do since the options on what I wanted to do to those cars were set. But, with the celica all everyone wants to do is a 3sgte swap which is very easy and cost efficient but pricing to me idc about. I just want to build a celica worth being dreamt about. I had several swaps in mind, nothing fwd. Can't have fun with those but, I have seen a 2jz in a gt4 but, thats not me. I was thinking of cross breeding the car . Now I thought of throwing a 13b rx7 engine in the car ... 4g63t 7 bolt ... Of course the 3s gte ... Rb20det & 25det ... Sr20 from a s13 ... Ka24 from a 240sx ... A 1jz turbo or non turbo nd that's about all. Hell I've been wondering what other engines can work with my car . I don't think the Mazda would as much not the rb engines. Just need ideas because this swap is going to happen very very soon nd as soon as it starts that's a done deal no going back. Im mainly after drifting or awd exploitation ! Something I can bring to meets maybe sema one day and wow those celica owners who want or have the same ideals. Im not up for negative Critisim or telling me to rid of my car. I want my car I actually like the 6g celica. So helpful ideas any builds done already.. Anything useful ! Thanks

Here's my thing, you could very well get a 3S-GTE AWD conversion done within the year. Not so much with the Mitsubishi conversion, EVERYTHING will have to be custom fabricated and there'll be lots of trial and error. Plus the wiring conversion that's there's probably no information on and you'll have to figure that all out as well. It could easily take many years to get it complete, only for it to still not be quite right. I/we just don't want to see you end up halfway in out a lot of money and time hating the car. We're not saying you can't do it, and we're not trying to crush your dreams, just that maybe you should go with what's known. A true GT-Four clone is plenty unique, I can probably count on one hand how many are over here. Just some things to think about.
