You guys all know that I've been doing swaps in Celicas for a long time, and after doing enough of the 3SGTE, 3SGE, 4AGE swaps, etc, I'm feeling the need for something a little off the wall. I have a feeling that there are some Celica owners out there who are thinking the same thing, they want something a little different. I've got three projects in mind that I'd be interested in doing, and I might even give a discount if someone steps up to the plate to have one done.
1. 1UZFE swap. The 1UZFE is the 4.0 V8 engine from the Lexus LS400. It makes between 265 and 300hp depending on the version. I would like to swap this engine, FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE, into a Celica, using an E153 or E58 transmission (LSD optional). I have personally seen this done sideways in a MK1 MR2, which is no bigger, if not smaller, than the Celica engine bay. We have all the equipment needed at my shop, and besides me, we now have another expert fabricator and tig welder that we just hired. 2. AWD 3SGTE conversion. This one has been done before and there's a number of threads recently on the subject. I've been ready to do one of these for a while, so if there's someone out there serious about having it done, I'm up for it. 3. 1JZGTE or 2JZGTE swap and conversion to REAR WHEEL DRIVE. Not a typo. You know what it is, you know you want it. We can do it. Updated 7-23-08, prices were removed. Please contact me for current pricing. Here's some more practical swaps that I'd like to do: 2ZZGE (7th gen Celica GTS 180hp) into '96+ Celica (OBD2 emissions legal) 2AZFE (Scion tC 160hp 160ft/lbs) into '96+ Celica (OBD2 emissions legal) 2GRFE, 2GRFSE, or 3MZFE into Celica (OBD2 emissions legal) This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Jul 23, 2008 - 10:31 AM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

these aren't some lil projects that can be done by just any shop. dr tweak has a good rep and does great work. i'm pretty sure he's not just gonna rush through the project so you get it back half*ssed. these things take time in order to make sure you get the highest quality of work. i live in the west coast and someday i'ma ship my car all the way over to tweak cuz i know he'll take care of my car and do great things to it. unless i find someone better and closer.
