Not that I will being do it soon but just curious. Will a 2JZ motor from a Supra work on the celica? If not what motor makes the best for a turbo project?

The 2jz conversion has been discussed before.
Most would agree it wouldnt work, but if you've enough money then yes. Search "2JZ" if you want to know more. The best turbo motor project would definiately be the 3SGTE. If you are feeling creative you could try the 4agte and 5sgte

You could always add a turbo to your motor. Parts are readily available.

Probably because a Supra to Celica sounds like a downgrade?

Not a problem I am old school too. Lots of computer stuff. Big learning curve but I'm getting more informed by the day. Lots of good info here. Read the stickys, how to articles on main page are very helpful also.  -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.
