So I'm thinking about building a B18 and throw it into a 6gc. Lol.

I'll post more later.

I know exactly what you mean, TiGZ. There is no aftermarket for BEAMS at all. You're completely on your own. But if you feel like stopping at 197 hp, then you're going to save a lot of work and time to get there by going BEAMS. I just feel like if you are going to go through that much effort with a motor swap buy putting a motor that doesn't belong in a Celica, then do a V6 swap. Honda has more aftermarket support, yes. No doubt. But a Honda motor in a Celica bay, you're on your own for a lot of things. You can't just buy a full exhaust. It all has to be custom. Same for the intake. It has to be placed differently. I say go V6 or bust. Just my opinion though.
