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?

im seriously looking into it more and more... im getting a usdm complete harness for 40 bucks! an ecu will run about 60 too. im shy of a tranny axles and a few other things, and if the swap doesnt work out ill always have parts for my nissan. plus all the parts are very liquid on the other boards. its something im pondering and im in no rush. all labor will be done by myself so there a large saving.

i say do the SR20 Swap there is tons of after market and even nissan dealers sell the parts over the counter which is a good plus. now as far as making it fit i say it will work with no cutting of the firewall my only concern to you is will the radiator fit?!??!?! ive seen the SR20 header when mounted on a FWD car and there is a tight fit between the header and the radiator. but other then that it would be a good sleeper. buy a few bolt ons. Increase the displacement and a small turbo mmmmmmmmm sleeper heaven. plus who was that guy that had the hyundia accent with a DSM motor off a GST i believe early 90s to mid 90s. cant remeber the engine code. the dude was from LA but can you imagine having a hyundai accent with all that power and killing v8s and vettes smile.gif must be fun.
