hey, i am not much of a forum goer, i just thought i'd see if anyone here can answer a question or two for me.

i have an 03 celica gt, and i was wondering if anyone has ever heard of, or done an engine swap with a 2JZ twin turbo supra engine. i have seen it done for cars(celicas) that are strickly drag but nothing else. i am going to be dropping a lot of money into this car really soon and the engine swap was the first thing i wanted to do, but i dont want to swap for a MRII turbo, or the 2ZZ gts engine like some. I am also hoping to hear from anyone who has done a swap with any other engine also, so i can get an idea of what can and cant really be done and still keep the car looking like a celica ( i dont want to rip up the actual look of the car, just pop the hood and bam, there's a.. 4g63 turbo or something in there... just kidding about the mitsu motor... just an example.)

thank you.

You are the first for 2008 to have reposted this topic, which has been covered to death!

The only swap that'll fit is the 3S-GTE motor (MR2 Turbo, Celica GT-4 turbo). With motor and labor, it'll cost you more than 10g's. Then come the tuning costs.

Supra motor is not a good idea. Not only will it not fit, but you'd have to make the Celica to a RWD platform and secure the chassis, which adds to the cost of everything.

Please, search before you post, there are lots of these threads, which contain valid reasons why a 2JZ swap is not a good idea and how it's a huge waste of money.

Also, just to give you an FYI, there are already threads about Targa Top conversions - another stupid idea, so search before this idea pops into your head and you feel like making a new thread.
