well yea, im juss thinking about what to do. what do you guys think i should do?

I want to do something Unique, i wana try to avoid putting in a 3sgte cause everyone is doing it.

how does a 4agte sound and how hard would it be 2 build one up? i dont want the easy way out lol

its just thoughts, not like im really going to do it... "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

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?

im leaning towards the MR2 idea.

mr2's are kinda cheap around here, i found one for like less than 4000 dollars, looks good too, not turbo tho.

maybe ill snag me one and drop in a 3sgte if it could legally be done.

cali sux xcore lol!
