http://engr.ucsb.edu/~warped/projects/swap/cost.htm that is the parts and price list from a 5th gen celica
I had this huge write up on it that I made. I linked to all these web pages and stuff and really got all the information together. Hit the button to post the thread, and it shot me an error and killed my write up SO, instead of getting my big beautiful write up, you get to make your own decisions because I am pissed. Maybe I'll write more up later. Maybe somebody with broadband will search around and find all the info and post it. I quit. goodnight |

It's a very unique swap with excellent forced induction buildability, but as far as keeping the motor n/a, or even build up n/a... It's not all that great. The guy that did that swap only managed to run mid 14's in the 1/4 mile with some pretty awesome 60 footers... so that swap's not gonna get much better than that. The upside... excellent torque, excellent driveability, and excellent reliability. Like I said before on celica.net... this swap isn't considered a performance swap to me... it's like putting in a bigger badder version of an econo box... ;]
