2zz, 6 speed swap 100% custom, just as the title says Options

[NOVAKx17]

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?

Everything Richee said is 100% correct. If your looking for a fun N/A ride I'd go for the V6 or a Beams but leaning towards the V6 as you will an opportunity to SC it down the road if you wanted to. usually you would want to put a larger motor into a lighter car not a smaller motor into a heavier car..

If your looking to potentially boost the 2zz down the road then you really are better off swapping in a 3s as the motor is already built factory to produce ~300hp.. (yes I said 300hp..) and it really isn't that common of a swap (although there are 5 swaps with in 40miles of me which all belong to this forum, East Coast loves 3sgte lol) outside of this forum NO ONE has any idea about the 3sgte and what the Celica can do. They really are sleepers.

Heck toss this around in your head, you could potentially have a SC V6 celi and a 3sgte celi.. best of both worlds if you ask me lol. I admire your eagerness to do something completely outside the box, but I think you might find yourself wanting to jump back in and it will already be to late
