I know some might flame me for this but I was doing some research and the Supra is almost the same size as the Celica, wheelbase is only around 23mm apart and the width hopfully rotor to rotor (still need to get exact measurement) is only 98mm apart. the width wont be much of a problem due to the flare on the rear fenders and length can be overcome by a custom bellhousing that will be required. I got the idea from the Top Secret Supra. I know the Getrag will be a tight fit but it might be possible to do this without cutting the firewall. I'm know most of the parts I need and I know how RWD vehicles are set up so that is covered, I also have a live in welder (uncle) so fab work isn't an issue. Some might think this is highly impractical and they're right but it's a great concept that I will pursue. I'm going to hit up Supra forums and try to get more measurements for the drivetrain, etc. If anyone that can help with research it will be appreciated. Anything will help but I could use shifter placement, 3S-GTE width pully to output shaft and Getrag input shaft length. As I pursue this project I will post what I can and if it bombs at least there will be information for any other brave soul that wants to take this on.

QUOTE Engines these days pratically swap themselves. Step 1: Remove 5s/7a Step 2: Just toss 2jz in there. Turn up side down for that cool "angled exhuast" look. Step 3" Pour a few quarts of oil on engine. Step 4: Close hood. Give the celica about a week so the 2JZ can get use to being in there. That wasn't so hard, now was it? I think he is trying to be funny or something, but it turned out lame as his usual posts do turn out. Anyway, I hope that you do this. Don't let anyone on this site turn you away from what you want to do. Kwanza has good questions and is challenging you to see the difficulties in doing this so when you decide to do it, you will have all the questions answered. |
