[mactech]

ok soo heres the story... i have a celica that i bought crashed........
its a 03 gt-s 6 speed.....

so i was wondering is it possible to switch all the parts needed to
fit into a 01,02 celica??? like a swap?? to a GT?

i want to buy a gt and give it the gt-s engine and trans..

just wondering if it possible.......
and how much do u think a shop might charge for such a job??....

thanx

Yes it's been done many many times. There's a sticky on it..

wouldn't it be almost the same price to just buy a GT-S? and save you ALOT of time and hassle? I think most people do the swap when they already own a GT and either blow the motor or just get their hands on a fairly cheap GT-S engine and have time to tinker.

The only way I'd swap a GT engine into my GT-S is if I get my hands on a MR2 Spyder (some are under $10,000 now) and I want my spyder 2zz powered. But I think I'd rather sell off the 1zz MR2 Motor as a core for some credit towards a fully built & stroked 2zz. I'd miss lift on either car too much, haha.

that would be the only reason to swap a 2zz for a 1zz, but he wasn't planning on putting a gt engine in a gts.
