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... -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2
2 JL 12" W6v2 2 Focal 6.5 component 165a1 Kenwood DDX512 head unit Running 142.6db with the back seat up:) |

Owning a Trans Am and a Corvette with both of the popular Chevy V8's of later years, I will say there's no way it's going to fit in the engine bay of the Celica. Too long, and more importantly, too wide to make it between the shock towers with manifolds, much less headers. You're talking MAJOR surgery on the car (think surgery like the kid who did the LS1 into a Prelude). A Chevy powered V8 Celica though..... I love the thought!
As for the 2JZ......Wasn't Dr. Tweak offering to do that swap including a RWD conversion for $12K a while back??? I'd have instantly done it, but I didn't have the money. Here's food for thought though: If someone does do the 2JZ swap, you'd need a rear. Narrow a Ford 8.8" rear and have custom axles made. THey're a dime a dozen, parts are readily available, and custom axles aren't very expensive at all. Custom driveshafts are cheap too ($350ish). Food for thought for those who might be trying.
