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

id say that it wouldnt be a bad idea, but would be a lot of custom work to get it running. basically not the type of thing i would recomend for somone doing their 1st swap. the wiring would be a whole new thing, that no one here has ever tried before.

on the upside, you would probably be the 1st 6cyl 6th gen and the motor is common and cheap enough that would can always source another one locally if anything ever happened to yours. aslo, adding a turbo to that motor would probably make it insanely fast at very little boost levels.
