"or am i lmao" maybe i should get an mr2 and do a 4agte project on it instead of the celi. b4 u guys start wanting 2 flame, i already know how an engine works and all of that so dont think i dont know what im talking about. this is just comming from a bored dude lol This post has been edited by XS4lv1Truch0x: Sep 26, 2006 - 12:46 AM -------------------- Is this good enuff 4 ya? :D

The "Rav-GT4" has already been done - AWD even. The 2WD version with the 3s-fe already has an E153, so you can just put in and LSD, swap the motor to a 3s-gte (do NOT put the 3s-gte head on the 3s-fe - that's just stupid). Its just a 'simple' swap in either case for the Rav4, 2WD or 4WD. Uses the stock mounts and everything.
Why would you want to go a more expensive and lower power route with the 4a-gte in your Celica? The 3s-gte is about the same price, easier and has a higher power potention with much more aftermarket support in this country. Like others have said, doing a motor swap in a Toyota is already unique enough... And what, the 3s-gte into Celica swap has been doing like 100 times now, total out of the hundreds of thousands built? -Charlie -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon
