supercharged would be good as well!

i remember one guy that posted a topic about about putting a honda motor on a 6gc, people turned him down saying dont do it but i say anything can be done with the resources and skills

[zonz540]

I got rid of a B16A2 long block when i got my Celi.... Shouldve swapped it, haha

[nics]

you shoulda, can you do custom stuff like what the guy did?

i searched you post when someone said that this thread is like a reposted idea. im so curious on how good it runs.

so same principles apply to 6gc swap with a diff fwd engine from other manufacturers? as long as the person knows what he's doing and has the resources it would be fine

[Valo666]

F20C swap into any older toyota is always a good idea. My buddy just did a swap into his AE86 with the gauges and 6spd and all.

[nics]

got pics of the car? interesting

[zonz540]

A boosted F20 with the new(ish) add-on VTEC cams would be pretty awesome.... Theres a 3SGTE replacement for someone with resources and time.

[Random_Stranger]

Abominations....

Abominations....

abominations??? lol

cuz its from a honduh?

[TRD_Ian]

im with faust why not just swap a 2jz or a toyota v8 (forgot the engine code)... and stay in the toyota family

i give the guy points for it but it seems every one is swapin these motors into every thing

i seen a 72 with a v8 and to find the nearest bathroom after

i believe pg 8 on the thread, his 1st option was a 2jzgte

here's what he said

went with the f20c because of easily accessable parts, 9,000k RPMS, strong yet reliable engine, and for that all around balanced car.......

my first engine option was a 2jzgte....... i drove two old schools with it 2JZGTE swaps and didn't like the feel.... it's like driving a TANK.... TOO FRONT END HEAVY................. THE POWER WAS TOTALLY COOL AND SCARY all at the same time.... and i WILL kill myself with that swap in it.........

oh and the celica is only around 1600 - 1800lbs.........

here's a customer's car that we did...... 73 carina with 2jzgte....

im not much fan of honduh's but this guy is amazing.

Well, I am just for keeping engines with their car makes is all. Not just me though, but as car enthusiasts. I mean, why stop there? Why not get aluminum, make a body of a car and just place it on a jet engine? See what I mean? There is integrity of the make to keep in tact... I mean hell, the guy is free to do whatever he wants... I'm just saying...

I am so die hard Toyota, that even things such as this make me want to tear up with sadness...


But I DO respect and really appreciate when Honda guys use their own motors and do crazy stuff like RWD, or the MR CRX. That's awesome! I give props to that.

can you please change this thread name to "Car with Vtec Power" Once you drop a honda engine in there it is no longer a celica and no longer a toyota

[nics]

aww vtec hater

vvtli > ivtec still but **** like this really happens

[dustin15brown]

actually yeah.... it's still a celica and still a toyota....
this car is sweeet

Why stop with just engines? I mean how many cars out there have a ford 9" rear end? does that mean that the chevys and dodges that have them arent really chevys or dodges? and what about the people who use a dodge neon strut tower brace in our celicas? and rx7 injectors?

Seriously though, that is some pretty impressive work.
That reminds me of a certain '69 Camaro that I need to get working on with my Dad.

[OOBE]

That's nice as heck. Even though it might sound like a "bad" idea to put a Honda engine in a Toyota, it's a pretty ignorant and close-minded way of thinking. Honda engines are great pieces of engineering.

That's a stupid logic IMHO. The car is still a Celica. The engine doesn't determine the model of the car. It's the body of the car itself. The engine just moves the car. What a ridiculous post.

OOBE, dude. engines are the heart and soul of a car. you cant put a 3sgte in a Fox body Mustang and have it run like the 5.0 did. it completely changes the car.

you could argue that putting a 3sgte in an ST or GT completely change the car too.

[Supersprynt]

Of course it completely changes the car, but its still a Mustang, it's still a Celica.

[dustin15brown]

nope, it's now a Viper

true. but its a toyota engine.

what if it uses nissan ester oil? is it a nissan because of the blood transfusion?

Really its that ridiculous? 1. I wasn't being all that serious.. just expressing my hate for vtec. 2. Since you wanna make my post serious, I didn't know Celica's are known for Vtec power. 3 Its stupid logic to you because you don't understand where I'm coming from. If you wanna get all technical, the car is a honda celica. Yes.. this is a very ridculous post.. smh

There are Toyota celica models with a 3sgte engine.

You hate VTEC why? Because its from Honda? Because your a Toyota fanboy who can't see beyond the stupid little symbol on the back of the car? Grow up, brah.

[Havok1997GT]

no Super i just like Torque

[Supersprynt]

I think a lot of you are semi-retarded.

Valve timing is used by almost every auto manufacturer on one form or another... if you dislike VTEC it's just because it's from Honda.

And I think you're a complete idiot. You try your best to determine the reason why I hate honda VTEC, and you're not even close. Ive driven the ones used in civics, and I just didnt like the feel. Just because someone likes torque it doesnt mean they know nothing about VTEC. Yea its good for smaller engines as it uses 2 cams (DOHC VTEC) with variable valve timing.. but for people that like bigger engines (like me) VTEC is not something I would like.. because those engines dont provide high torque.. unless you mod it like crazy. I think some honda vtec cars cant rev past 6k rpm.. but what do I know.. Ive never driven a vtec car.. im just a toyota fan boy..

A$$.

VTEC is used in the Honda Ridgeline. 247 ft-lbs of torque, 250hp. Granted its only a V6, but torque can be produced using VTEC. The Ford Tritan uses variable timing and it produces 365 ft-lbs and 310hp. That's a 5.4L V8. So separate the thinking between the lack of torque and VTEC or VVT in general.

You can't just say VTEC would be horrible in my V8, because it's used differently.

Brah, can we all stop saying brah, brah?

And explain your reasoning on my being a follower, please?

[spolski07]

i lol'd at all the fanboy comments in this thread.

F20C has 240hp and 153lp/ft torque and 9k rpm limit (amazing feeling to drive that car)

show me a 2 liter toyota motor that makes 120hp per liter

[playr158]

LOL the 2jz has VVT-i it HAZ NO TORQUE!!!!!!!!!111

driven civics....teehee

this thread makes me laff

You hate VTEC? Really? You hate a technology that makes a lot of sense? Why? By the way, you type like a little close-minded fairyboy. Grow up.

Both of you need to pull your heads out of your rear ends and stop posting non-sense. You two are ridiculous. You should compete against each other in a ridiculous competition.

yea keep trying to stir it up, im not going to continue bickering with this clown, especially in a off topic post. By the way, if VTEC is a technology that makes alot of sense then why don't you own a civic? All I was saying was that I hate VTEC civics and I've given my reasons so im done posting in here.
