Ok so I recently bought a Chevy cruze that came with the 1.4 ecotech turbocharged engine. And I was wondering if you could put a Chevy engine on the Celic. Obviously it's not something I plan on doing, but just wondering if that's something that could be done. From what I remember it has. 138 hp stock can't remember the torque but I see some hitting 200 with a good tune, intake, and exhaust. I figured this would be a cool project since everything seems like it would fit in a Celica.

Is it possible? Yes, absolutely. Anything is possible with money. And this would certainly be easier than a 2JZ swap or any other RWD conversion, but it's cost prohibitive. The cost of the engine, finding a clutch and trans combo that will work, axles, all for a measly amount of horsepower.
