i have decided to put off the v6 for now and i'm going to put a 2zz into my project celica.
i will be posting pics as i get more and more into it. in the next couple days i'll have the 5s out and be picking up the 2zz and 6 speed trans. i can't wait to get this going and be the first of its kind. gonna be fun making the custom mounts and doing the wiring though! but yay for originality! (: my thoughts on this swap go from the facts that the 7th gen 2zz engine is known to be a powerhouse, along with the facts that there is so much aftermarket support for it and parts are fairly cheap but very easy to get at a moments notice! what do you think? -------------------- NOVAKx17

5S-GTE! If you wanna waste the time and money then go for it. If you do succeed then you just proved 90% of the 6GC community wrong. That being said, I doubt anyone else would ever do it, the time and money isn't worth the 40hp. You'd be better off making a 7A-GTE if you wanted to have something different. i find it hard to believe that in New Zealand, you can order custom cut forged axles yet such a thing doesn't exist in the United States? DAFUQ? sorry Smaay, but I sat and watched a 1UZ-FE get transplanted into an RX7 at the engineering shop FASTER than it took to order 3SGTE parts for my car. You make the small things sound impossible. This kid can do anything, didn't you read his thread about putting smaller wheels on the rear? ![]() You can get them, i've had custom axles made for my rx7 since it has a rear end out of a viper. Is the cost worth it for 170 hp celica though? hell no. The rx7's are a lot easier to work with. Front steering on the rx7 vs rear steering on the celica makes a huge difference. Your RX7 is sexy and I am extremely disappointed we couldn't drive it around. yes this thing will be 100% legal in your state but so will a k20a i mean you guys don't have to do smog i would put a k20a in a st celica if i had the money over the 2zz even though it would be more work(electrical, but you'd be getting 30 more hp from honda engine. Youre joking...right? This post has been edited by travisxcore: Feb 4, 2013 - 4:01 PM |
