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?

It seems to me like you'd have a hard time getting the interior(gauge cluster, climate control, etc.) stuff to work. Would the Celica's gauge cluster be able to function correctly off of a Nissan ECU with some wiring changes?
And yeah, I agree that the SR20DE is a strong motor. I've been doing lots of reading on the G20.net forums about this motor, and everyone there loves it, except those who swap in SR20DET engines(easily, in comparison to a swap on a Celica.)
