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?

That's understood... and it's all good... but the point I was trying to make was... Celica swaps do not, and should not start and stop with that one motor. There are greater things to a motor swap than gaining power alone... hell... I wanted to swap in a 4AGE into my Celica for the longest time, even though it would have most likely slowed my car down. Anyway, we (other members) should be here to invite new ideas instead of "beat the dead horse." Not all swaps turn out well... but IMO, the process of doing the swap is a learning experience all worth the while... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
