I am just curious to see what non-ideal motors people have installed, attempted to install, or thought about installing into these cars. i.e.: a diesel/turbo diesel celica... anything different from the normal.

There's a V8 5th gen out there. I think it's fibrewizard's car. Otherwise, there have only been a few 6th gens ce close to a different swap. Hardtarget (http://www.6gc.net/celicas/1998-gt-hatchback-7148) has one, then there's the Pikes Peak Celica and more recently, Johnny Milner's Celica that dominated the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Milner's and Hardtarget's cars are still 3S's and I believe Rod Millen's Pikes Peak Celica is as well, but I've only ever found "TRD prepared 2.1 liter inline four cylinder." I'd love to see some different swaps as well, but I seriously doubt if anybody has put a diesel in one.
