hey i was just curious but would a lotus engine be able to fit and run in our celicas since the engine is toyota based. i know it would be super expensive, but i was just wondering when i was reading a magazine with a lotus in there that, would it be possible.

retuned 2zz to get 10more hp or w/e and raised redline. . .
no biggy. 7th gen is lighter than us, not the best idea for a swap IMO, especially since the CR is high. good choice if you aren't trying to set any speed records, but be a peppy NA... --------------------  |

And the 6th gen is listed as 2755 Vert, 2395 Coupe, and 2415 Hatch. So if that's your reason for not doing the swap, it's time to find a new one. I'll always back up that motor just because I like high reving NA power. 6th Gen 7th Gen -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

It shows 2560 for 6th and 2500 for 7th. I think these weight differences would be lessend when going from an iron to aluminum block too. Only real way to check is to get cars and measure them, or get the specs from Toyota. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
