So i was having a interesting convo online with my buddy who i plan on having do my engine clip but then he had this to say!....

QUOTE

HOTAZZDJ26: you know how to do a front engine clip?
NcSupra: yes
HOTAZZDJ26: On my car?
NcSupra: what kind of engine do you want?
HOTAZZDJ26: 3SGTE!
HOTAZZDJ26: Gen 3
NcSupra: that wont work
HOTAZZDJ26: yes it will
HOTAZZDJ26: i allready scoped it out, i just need a mechanic to put it in
NcSupra: dude your car is front wheel drive
NcSupra: belive me I know everything about that engine
HOTAZZDJ26: hang on
NcSupra: you would need a trany swap also
NcSupra: to a six speed
NcSupra: and the ecu
HOTAZZDJ26: ok hang on
NcSupra: along with the room for exhaust
HOTAZZDJ26: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1448
HOTAZZDJ26: check out feasible and non feasible
NcSupra: dude yeah ok go ahead and change the front of your frame
NcSupra: your nuts man
HOTAZZDJ26: what do you mean it says you can drop it right in?
NcSupra: dude you cant
HOTAZZDJ26: It drops right in to your Celica, assuming you have a ST202, ST203, or ST204(Which is the USDM GT.) Even if you have a ST(Chassis code AT200), you can still swap this engine into your car. It will just take a bit more work, because you'll need to change motor mounts and your transmission, and a few other things.
NcSupra: trust me on this
HOTAZZDJ26: i trust you its just i hear so much on the forum
NcSupra: dude someone has something messed up
HOTAZZDJ26: why?
NcSupra: that engine is an inline 6 you cant mount it that way
HOTAZZDJ26: so i would need to switch my whole Tranny, Shifter, and frame?
NcSupra: ha ha dude keep going
NcSupra: well over 15,000 worth of cash way over
HOTAZZDJ26: so whats a feasible engine you would suggest?
HOTAZZDJ26: or should i NOS it and keep rebuilding my engine
NcSupra: ha ha
HOTAZZDJ26: what do you suggest MAD SCIENTIST?!
HOTAZZDJ26: hahaha
NcSupra: dude your crazy
HOTAZZDJ26: i need to get at least 220hp
HOTAZZDJ26: im at 140
HOTAZZDJ26: hahaha
HOTAZZDJ26: have you seen my car recently?
NcSupra: mill the head and get everything titanium
NcSupra: yes
HOTAZZDJ26: what do you mean? english please?
NcSupra: if you get the head milled it will higher your compresion but lower yout liter it will ad torque and hp
HOTAZZDJ26: how much?
NcSupra: money?
HOTAZZDJ26: both how much HP, and how much $
NcSupra: dude titanium **** money man
NcSupra: mill the head bore out the cylinders and hone them and that would be a start
HOTAZZDJ26: so u saying i should scrap the celi and go for a supra?
NcSupra: dude i gotta run man Ill start this later
HOTAZZDJ26: ok
HOTAZZDJ26: peace

So what do you guys think??? Is this true, i am looking at 15,000Gs??? Let me know?

Thanks,
DJMC

or just have all the people that have doen the swap take pics and email them to him.. but then he might just those aren't 3sgte engines..

Seriously...look how many people have done the swap around here. 7A, 5S, either way there's plenty of proof that it can be done. He also thought it was an inline-6 so he either was talking about fitting the 6 wasn't possible or doesn't know what he's talking about.......
