I found this discussion on NewCelica.org about trying to shoehorn the E153 transmission onto the later ZZ series engines by Toyota via an adaptor kit...
http://www.newcelica.org/forums/showthread.php?t=213963 Thought that it was really interesting....not only for the turbo 2ZZGE guys on that forum that desire a more rugged gearbox option, but somebody else mentioned that it would allow cars like the SW20 MR2, Corolla, STxxx and ATxxx Celicas, Currens, Camrys, Solara, you name it to use the 2ZZ motor with ease in those chassis. Also, in theory you could use such a kit in a reverse role and use the components from the kit that allow the E153 to mount up to the 2ZZGE block on a Lotus Elise, and thus allowing for the use of S-series Toyota motors in a Lotus Elise by changing one mount only. Can you say, 3SGTE powered Elise? BEAMS powered Elise even?? How about a 2ZZ powered ST202/204, ATxxx? Interesting stuff.

Really? I wouldn't have thought that he would have to do that since he used both the 2ZZ and 6spd C52 trans that are used in the donor platform. Custom mounts maybe, but i don't know about having to change bellhousings. I wonder what he had to do with axles though....i'm sure its written up someplace that would eliminate any guessing.
 I'm fascinated by seeing whats possible by using all OEM Toyota stuff, its pretty amazing how similar alot of it really is. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
