i am curious if anyone has ever seen a non toyota motor fitted into our gen celica or corolla for that matter. i am intrested in fitting a jdm nissan sr20de motor into my st. the motor mounts seem to be in fairly the same locations. a usdm wireharness is cheap and easy to come by. other than mounting it, and getting a tranny with axles that will work what else would have to be taken into consideration?

How about forged internals good for 500 HP? Assuming you match with pistons for forced induction of course... or maybe n/a possibilities... you know this is a BIG BIG tuner engine in Japan right? Parts up the ying yang? Up the compression... throw down some knarly cams... ITBs... on and on. It has the sort of aftermarket support and potential a lot of toyota motors simply don't. Who cares about stock specs... and even at stock, that engine in a Sentra SE-R or 200sx SE-R can outrun a lot of the cars in its class... even with today's HP wars. It's a VERY popular AutoX motor too... and they were huge in the mid 90's. The sort of cult following bestowed upon another underpowered 4 banger... called the 4AG... To put it simply... the SR20's are tuner motors... the sort of thing Toyota Stopped making since the early ninties... it has the bore/stroke for good torque out-put, yet it maintains a good bottom end for high-end revving and horsepower potential. Just cause it isn't called 3SG... doesn't mean it can't work well in a Celica (however... pointless that may be, IMO). Just cause it doesn't meet your specific tastes... doesn't make it "not worth while." The SR20 happens to just be one of those motors that can be built well for anything within a decent budget... and there aren't a lot of those... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
