Can the above be done? I was told that the 3ltr camry engine will slot straight into the 6th gen celica without altering engine mounts or anything? Or very little modification anyway. If its possible what bhp would and could they put out or would i just be better off selling and getting a gt4 to save time and hassle??

lots of info in the two forums linked at the bottom. 3 of the mounts work (gt mounts) however the passenger side mount needs to be fabricated. expect around 200hp depending on generation and lots of low end torque  if i were you, id get a gt4 since you can.

AWD is where its at compared to FWD. but like celicast said, yes, it can, and has been done. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

it was my dad that was on about it as he has an mr2 and it's possible with that too apparently, i have already been searching import sights about gt4's. Think my mind is made up about it, tuneable and 4wd!!

On an import site i just checked, what looks an immaculate, slightly modified gt4 its 4000euro shipped from japan to dublin....by time vrt-d(import tax) and customs you'd be looking at 7,500euro...cheap gt-4 compared to other prices in this country.. guess thats around $10k, don't know the exchange rate This post has been edited by slick_celica: Feb 24, 2007 - 5:34 PM -------------------- signature made by jaws4god |
