So i was having a interesting convo online with my buddy who i plan on having do my engine clip but then he had this to say!....

QUOTE
HOTAZZDJ26: you know how to do a front engine clip?
NcSupra: yes
HOTAZZDJ26: On my car?
NcSupra: what kind of engine do you want?
HOTAZZDJ26: 3SGTE!
HOTAZZDJ26: Gen 3
NcSupra: that wont work
HOTAZZDJ26: yes it will
HOTAZZDJ26: i allready scoped it out, i just need a mechanic to put it in
NcSupra: dude your car is front wheel drive
NcSupra: belive me I know everything about that engine
HOTAZZDJ26: hang on
NcSupra: you would need a trany swap also
NcSupra: to a six speed
NcSupra: and the ecu
HOTAZZDJ26: ok hang on
NcSupra: along with the room for exhaust
HOTAZZDJ26: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1448
HOTAZZDJ26: check out feasible and non feasible
NcSupra: dude yeah ok go ahead and change the front of your frame
NcSupra: your nuts man
HOTAZZDJ26: what do you mean it says you can drop it right in?
NcSupra: dude you cant
HOTAZZDJ26: It drops right in to your Celica, assuming you have a ST202, ST203, or ST204(Which is the USDM GT.) Even if you have a ST(Chassis code AT200), you can still swap this engine into your car. It will just take a bit more work, because you'll need to change motor mounts and your transmission, and a few other things.
NcSupra: trust me on this
HOTAZZDJ26: i trust you its just i hear so much on the forum
NcSupra: dude someone has something messed up
HOTAZZDJ26: why?
NcSupra: that engine is an inline 6 you cant mount it that way
HOTAZZDJ26: so i would need to switch my whole Tranny, Shifter, and frame?
NcSupra: ha ha dude keep going
NcSupra: well over 15,000 worth of cash way over
HOTAZZDJ26: so whats a feasible engine you would suggest?
HOTAZZDJ26: or should i NOS it and keep rebuilding my engine
NcSupra: ha ha
HOTAZZDJ26: what do you suggest MAD SCIENTIST?!
HOTAZZDJ26: hahaha
NcSupra: dude your crazy
HOTAZZDJ26: i need to get at least 220hp
HOTAZZDJ26: im at 140
HOTAZZDJ26: hahaha
HOTAZZDJ26: have you seen my car recently?
NcSupra: mill the head and get everything titanium
NcSupra: yes
HOTAZZDJ26: what do you mean? english please?
NcSupra: if you get the head milled it will higher your compresion but lower yout liter it will ad torque and hp
HOTAZZDJ26: how much?
NcSupra: money?
HOTAZZDJ26: both how much HP, and how much $
NcSupra: dude titanium **** money man
NcSupra: mill the head bore out the cylinders and hone them and that would be a start
HOTAZZDJ26: so u saying i should scrap the celi and go for a supra?
NcSupra: dude i gotta run man Ill start this later
HOTAZZDJ26: ok
HOTAZZDJ26: peace


So what do you guys think??? Is this true, i am looking at 15,000Gs??? Let me know?

Thanks,
DJMC

Wow, that guy's an idiot.

Or, he might be thinking you have a 7th gen.. in which case, almost everything he says is true (10-15gs, transmission, ECU, etc)

But I doubt it. I just think he's a "know it all" who doesn't know this
