Hello,
I'm new to this forum, but not new to the site or the Celica. I'm 16 years old and I'll be purchasing my car of choice very soon. Out of any car in the world, I'd rather have the 6th gen Celica, the body and look just amazes me. It's 100% class. Anyhow, I have a question that just may decide which car I get. I know there is a 3S-GTE engine swap, and it can produce high numbers. But, I have another in mind. I've been thinking of this engine swap for a while now, but I don't know if it can be done. So, I pop the question. Can I drop the 3.0 Twin Turbo Supra engine into the GT engine bay. Can it be done? Will it work? This question has been plaguing me for a while now, and I just have to know the answers. Thanks, Inferno |

I appreciate all of your input. Thank you. Yes, I know that the insurance rates will be murderous, but I just wanted to know if it could be done. I'm still considering the Celica as my car choice, it's my favorite car altogether. But, the only problem was with the fact that it's kind of an under-dog when it comes to aftermarket parts. Anyhow, this hasn't dented my feelings for the Celica one bit. I still hope to acquire(sp?) one, and it's still what I'm leaning towards getting. Anyhow, I knew about the 3S-GTE engine swap, or just importing a GT-4. I know a guy that can get one imported for me at a rate of about 5,000, not including shipping. My main concern with the 3S-GTE engine is that I would have to order Euro or Japanese aftermarket performance parts for the engine itself. Would this be a problem? I realize it might take tons more to import these aftermarket parts. Is this true?
