lotus engine Options

[celiman5]

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.

if you want a 2zz powered celica, why not just buy a used 7th gen? they are pretty cheap these days and you would be getting a newer car. you would get pretty much the same performance as you would if you swapped it, but without the hassle.

Because anyone who has driven a 7th gen knows that the only thing quality on that car is the motor. It's almost Kia quality. On top of that, you can still buy a wrecked car with a 2zzge motor and swap it cheaper than you could buy a nice GT-S Celica. If you had a sold 6th gen with bad motor, like I did, it wouldn't be a bad option. I rebuilt my 5sfe and am more than happy with it though. I mostly did that because I like racing SoloII and want to stay competitive in the STS class. If I swapped I would have moved to SM were I wouldn't stand a chance. But if I had just a street car, or had the money to build a nice SM class car, I would most likely use the 2zzge. I would be tossed up between the 4age and 2zzge for the race car though.
