What non-toyota engines would be good swaps that would actually work in a 6gc? Has anyone ever did a non-toyota swap? I wanted to do a search on this so I don't get flamed. I tried a couple of searches but can't really find nothing ( guess I can't find any good phrases for the search ). I'm sure someone has thought of this though. BTW Its not anything I am going to do its just something that came to mind.

Zipstrips was thinking of going with a SR20DE I think. Any non-Toyota swap into a Celica is gonna be pretty tough...I've seen a RB26DETT in a JZA80, and a F20C in an AE86, but they both required quite a bit of custom work.

why?
it's...why if anything other than the 3s, id say the SR20 supposedly its supposed to go in 2 of the motors mounts if not that, then try a DSM (4ag63 or w/e it is) motor...but it'd be cheaper to buy a DSM and go fast. --------------------  |

I always liked the idea of dropping a V8 in a gen 6, just love the V8 engine sound.
It would be some effort but would it be worth it power wise or is it just totally a bad idea?  I know it would be serious work.

I've seen a twin turbo Toyota V8 in a ST185...that was quite the swap.  However, the swap made the car RWD, which wasn't too hard on a AWD ST185 from what I read, but making a USDM Celica RWD would be a lot of work. Edit: You're from the UK. You could find an ST205 and do this I'm sure, but it'd still be a lot of work.

Yeah, the ST205 engine would be easy to get hold of. Some might say it would be better to just trade up to a GT4 for the money it would cost to install though. A good GT4 cost around $10,000 - my GT worth about $6,000 trade in.
Plus I'd rather go with the V8 for the rarity value. -------------------- Facelift bumper-foglights-clear indicators, clear side repeaters, 16in O.Z alloys, stainless steel grill.

I'm saying though, that if you're going to do the V8, you should use the ST205 chassis to begin with.

So Tony, are you actually thinking about buying a V8 car? Is so, which one?

i think i've heard of an s2000 engine in a celica.....personnally i won't mind that engine.....its good for a forced induction setup and can make good power and torque i think i'd be faster than a 3sgte but i could be wrong...although its more expensive way

Im doing the Geo Metro with a Hemmi Swap
How awesome would that be a car that weighs as much as your toothbrush with a huge motor(Not possible but fun to think of)Although it is a toyota motor, putting in like a V-6 Solara engine Supercharged with like a Toyota Tacoma Tranny would be suffice

The best toyota with a foreign motor i've seen was a AE86 with a mazda 3 rotor and rx7 drive line. Thats my dream as soon as i get out of college.
You might be able to squeeze in a VW motor into a celica i've done a few VW swaps and the size of the motors and how they bolt up is quite similar. 170hp(stock) 1.8T or maby even 180hp VR6. Both of which turboed can see 400whp easily. |

high compression motor and forced induction never go along dollar for dollar, a 3sgte would make more hp the s2000 engine should be left NA, its a torqueless wonder, and always will be, boost will make more power and bring on early death. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

Sometimes they do. Lots and lots of people turbocharge their stock AE101 silvertop 4A-GE engines. Most of the time a standalone EMS is used and the AFM is eliminated, but I've seen at least six or seven silvertop 4A-GE engines that are running a turbo setup with a stock ECU, stock AFM, and some sort of piggyback fuel controller. 5-6 PSI is fairly safe on the motor, and because of the high compression, 5-6 PSI amounts to some pretty substantial gains all over the powerband.

it does work but it doesnt last too long. a lot of the VTEC turbo setups usually last around a year, from what i have heard, depending on driving style. its extra wear, just like running higher boost on a factory turbo car, except that with the higer compression, its the equivalent of a lot more boost(which is why it makes more power per psi) -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

I've heard of people running turbo setups on their stock AE101 silvertop 4A-GEs for years though...usually the reason why the turbo setup doesn't last too long is because people get the boost bug, swap out the stock pistons for 4A-GZE pistons, and then run more pounds of boost.

your kidding me right?!? don't force induction a s2000 motor?!?!?!!? were have you been.....almost every person that i've seen with an s2000 around the scene in DC and in magazines do turbos......some i have seen even supercharge..but from what i've heard is that the engine handles force induction like a dream and it was built to hold the stress......not that i'm defending honda's here but that engine is nice in the car maybe not in a celica but if you Force feed it....expect to be GREAT
