6G Celicas Forums

Not all of us have the equipment or cash to just swap a motor, paying for it would be ridiculously expensive.

Used Beams Red top $1350.00
Used Beams Rebuild $ ??? how hard has it been used?
Tech with tools and equipment $2000.00 - $3000.00
High performance parts $ ??? (haven't researched it)

I would be looking at $3000 - $4000 just to start and it doesn't guarantee a running car.

Sourceing parts, from reading forums, is one of the harder things about a JDM swap.

Thanks for the reply and information.

Anyone else having this issue?
I have made 8 posts but only 5 show, the first 2 are non-existent, Next 5 just fine, last one nowhere to be found.
My controls show 8 total posts but I only have 5 posts in my history.
Worst part is I spent a lot of time on the first two.

Thanks for looking!

Bought the Meagan Racing Short Shifter, I'm finding this to be a smother shift then the stock shifter.

If any one is interested in doing this upgrade and is worried about the difficulty don't sweat it.
With the exception of needing to pull the bottom of the dash apart for the G6 this video is a great guide to getting the job done
with little hassle.

With pulling the extra parts out to have better access to the shift assembly I got the job done in 1 hr 50 min.

Hope this helps.

I own a 91 MkIII Turbo 5 SP Supra producing just under 375hp @ the wheels. It will get a lot more tweeks and upgrades but with all that power and Straight 6 torque, my 95 Celica 2Dr Hatchback is so much more fun to drive. It's not just the

Supras NADA value tipping 13K and climbing or the fact that the window for driving a car with a TRD 2" suspension drop on thawed roads free of rocks, build up of debris and has repaired potholes is about 2 weeks. Its that the Celica is nimble,

quick and precise. A 50 mph 90* turn in an intersection in the Supra means the rear end is free for at least 75 to 100 feet. With the Celica its a bit of under steer until you dump the cluch @ 65 dropping to 50 picking up the rear end and dropping

it inline with the new direction.

Now taking into consideration my 5sfe is attached to a gear ratio utilized to drastically increase the acceleration of this GT. (evident by 5th X 5500 rpm = 95 mph) and considering I have a Cali spec Celica in a climate that ground air temps are

under 50* 30% of the year and under 30* 60% of the year. My 5sfe will give an ECO-BOOST F150 a run for it's $ and that damn thing if you punch it cruising @ 65 will roast the tires.


So I say, I have come, I am stock and I will build. I'm starting in this post because the person who started it had done some great research and obviously knew what he was talking about. I am not looking to X2 the output of my Celica, yet if

ever. Goal # 1 add another 50 HP to the wheels

any help and support will be appreciated.

I just ordered http://www.ebay.com/itm/231998556540?_trks...K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
