So I am goign to be swapping out my 5sfe for a 3sgte... but i got to think that i'd love to have a 6 speed tranny for it... so why not put a supra tranny on it? that got me thinking more, why not stuff a supra motor in instead of a 3s... So...

Has anyone put in a Supra V6 into their celica?
I know someone swapped in a v6...

Would a Supra tranny work for a FWD drive car?

Has anyone put in a 6 speed tranny on a 3sgte?

Pro's Con's... lets hear it...

Alright man. I will tell you this. There is no such thing as a non-feasable egine swap. anything is possible. In order to do the I6 Swap, you are going to have to cut a tranny tunnel and you would have to not only find the motor and tranny, but you would also have tog et a hold of the whole drivetrain. You are looking at a 6 thousand dollar investment. If you are looking for a lot of power or something that noone else has done, look into putting a v8 into your celi. A 350 out of a stingray, or mid 90's camaro would suit your needs and your pocket book better than attempting the I6 swap. You can usually pick up the whole camaro for about 3 grand. And I would pick up like an old DX or something for a daily driver for the months of work you're planning on doing. Just my input tho. Anything is possible if you put your mind and tools to it.



Please stop.

A 6,000 investment? Right. For what? The whole project? No.

A 3S-GTE swap will be about 6,000 - and that is a drop in job, not a custom one.

You would need to cut out the firewall and move it back a good distance, and then cut the transmission tunnel. You'll need to fabricate a rear subframe and all of the needed components for the RWD. You'll probably need to get the Supra suspension as well.

You'd be looking at upwards of 20K for that kind of work, which would be stupid because you can go buy a Supra instead of bastardizing a Celica.
