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 |

Hello there,
Thanks once again for all of the input. Now that the question has been answered, a very detailed answer, I realize that it would be impossible for me to do all of that. For one, I'm 16 as some of you stated, the price would literally kill me. I'd be better off to buy a Supra. *sweats* Anyhow, you guys have definately swayed me to not even attempt to perform this. Especially since there are 3S-GTE part sellers within the US borders. By the way, that 5,000 rate that I got was not for the front clip. It was for the entire ST205 car. Edit: I just found this car at cardomain.com. You think this guy is just poppin' off at the mouth? Link:Liar? ...notice there are no pics under the hood?
