i know of a few 2-jz done in Lexus IS200's a guy over here in Northern Ireland is building an 800bhp model which is nearly completed
don't think it would be feasible in a fwd and can't be done i don't think in the gt4 (with gearbox and transfer not mating), it would be a serious costly with new mounts and frame modification. --------------------  |

forget that idea.
if you tried to mate it to your gearbox and keep fwd (a silly idea because of the power and torque even a stock 2jz would produce would be enough to smash your gearbox if you ever managed to get traction, and would be so heavy in the front) you could do it rwd (a guy in aus has a 1uz-fetz (yes its twin turbo and supercharged) in a st185 gtfour, but a 1uz is only 4 cyl long, it involved a lot of fabrication and engineering, a 2jz is obviously longer, it would have cylinder 1 where your radiator is. its not feasable. put in a 3sgte, 1mz/3vz, or leave it like it is. -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............600hp GT3582r

no 1jz are the same dimentions.
and ide like to add that the 2jz in that photo is wrong because the turbos are on the driver side (ok well drivers side for us rhd'ers) nice work on the photoshopping, did you mirror? -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............600hp GT3582r

Its probably impossible with our engine bay. However longitudinal engine mounted celi's can do it for sure. But IMO its probably a useless idea and not worth it.
If you want a RWD car, it probably cheaper to buy one. Probably even cheaper to buy a 3rd/4th Gen Supra than build it out of a Celica. If you're really determined on a RWD celica you can probably use the subframe from a MR-2 or another Celica and custom build a MR Celica. Here's a build of an MR Integra which should probably deter you from cutting up you Celica: Team Integra mid engined H22A4 conversion This post has been edited by Taskbot: Aug 15, 2008 - 9:51 AM --------------------  (\__/) (='.'=) This is bunny.
