will a 2l fit into a 1.8 car Options

[bosence_motors1]

i have a 1.8 celica (96) with a smokey engine which i believe is the piston rings. but i have managed to find a low mileage engine for a good price but it is a 2.0. does anyone know if this swop will fit without major work?? thanx.

Anything that just bolts in is simple A 3SGTE just goes beyond the realm of simple because you pretty much need a custom front-mount intercooler set up and custom exhaust, but up to that point it's also a bolt-in swap, even in the ST (well, sort of).

bosence, the 3SGE is the 2.0 engine that you're referring to. Be advised that though both engines look at home in the engine bay, the 3SGE uses a different tranny, axles, mounts, a/c and p/s lines, harness, and ECU. So if you want to do the swap, make sure that you get all of that because you're going to need to change it all over.
