They say with money, anything is possible. I honestly want to know if anyone here would actually swap out our motors with somthing from the honda offering etc....? Im a toyota purist myself and wouldn't do it actually, but i cant deny the power that the b-series and k-series are capable of. I respect a well designed motor. Or how about the transverly mounted sr20? Tell me your thoughts on this matter.

im a purist and anything that says Honda does not belong on a Toyota. there are plenty of engine options in the toyota world that will support your goals. it all comes down to money. another problem with the K series is the same as the ZZ series. the intake and exhaust are on opposite sides. the header would hit the steering column. A B series would be easier but another problem is the transmission is on the other side of the engine.
This is why i say rebuild your engine and boost it, swap it with a 3S-GTE, or go V6. all of these options are a "drop in" -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
