I have friend that told me he saw a a 98 celica with a engine from a either an IS 300 or an ES300 I am just curious to see what you guys think about this. I have trying to somebody out there that has done this and so far I have come up with nothing. Do you guys think this is possible or do think the owner of the car was just yanking his chain? If it is possible it would be really cool to see.

the ES300 1MZFE swap is very doable. SCC put one in a 5SFE MR2, and there is a guy who swapped the same engine into his 5G on c.net
as for putting the 2JZGE from the IS300 into a Celi, it wouldn't fit without pushing the firewall back among other things. |

The Altezza comes with the blacktop 3S-GE, which could be swapped into a Celica fairly easily I'd imagine, though wiring would probably be a nightmare. The IS-300 is 2JZ-GE powered though, and that engine would be so much work to swap into a Celica. If you're serious about swapping a blacktop 3S-GE into your car, have a look here and email Bill Sherwood and see if he can give you any tips and stuff, because he's swapped this engine into his AE86.

I'll second...however, it wouldn't be ideal for a Celica, because of the different set-ups (FF and FR)... You'll need a tranny among a ton of other little shiat. Better luck with a Beams Redtop. As for Bill Sherwood, it'll probably be slightly easier to do in a AE86 because that platform is also FR. I belive he literally swapped over directly, the tranny, engine, wiring, and even the guage cluster... so his swap, I'd imagine, wouldn't be too difficult, considering he's also RHD (as is the Jdm Altezza)... Of course, he's probably also modifying stuff, and has a ton of custom fabbed parts to fit it, but who knows exactly. The engine itself, is still an S series, however, the problem is the lack of diagrams, and the rarity of the engine... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
