2JZ Swap Into a 6GC, Is it Possible? Options

[Jeremie]

I just recently purchased a 1994 Celica GT, and my buddy has a COMPLETE 2JZ assembly in his garage. He is moving out of state and unfortunatley he has to sell it. I dont know if i should buy it. I was thinking about swaping it into my car IF ITS POSSIBLE. I have the money but not as much experience. Since im only 17, im still learning. So if you guys can help me, it would be great! Can you guys tell me if its possible and if there will be any trouble with this kind of swap.

Thanks.

hmm well before anyone else decides to be a jerk i will simply say this with time and money anything is possible. the 2jz however is not really a feasible swap. and inline 6 rwd into a fwd inline 4...? hmm anyways 3sgte is a very common and good swap! lota power potential and whatnot! tubroing the 5sfe is an idea too!... search the forum...

Best reply EVER to this question. This man has hit the nail on the head

YES, it is a swap that is possible to be done. NO, there in no information on this site about it. YES, it will require a lot of money. YES it will require a lot of fabricating.

ANYTHING, is possible with the right amount of money, time, and know-how.

Its possible in the sense that with enough money and experience I could have my 6gc powered by a monster truck engine, but in the real world... NO.

Thanks for the replies.

i would like to see someone do an accurate assessment as to what needs to be done to get it to work instead of the usual "with enough $ anything is possible"

just to name a few things: swapping the firewall/floor pan from the jza80, custom rad(s) & rad support to fit the motor, swap rear floor/drivetrain/suspension or use st205 rear, motor mounts, etc.

theres been a lot crazier stuff done... ever seen pimp my ride?

OP- prepare to be flamed for asking the question. Just a warning. I personally won't flame you. We all have questions. As others have said, it would take a lot of time and a lot of money. By the time you are done, you would not have a street legal car anymore, if you have to go through inspections. Yes, the 2JZ engine is VERY capable. 320 hp from the factory sounds VERY enticing. But for a fraction of the cost and a fraction of a fraction of the work, you can swap a 3S-GTE into your car. Think about it this way. Spend thousands to get a heavy 2JZ into your car and compromise the structural integrity of the car so it won't handle as well or you can swap the much lighter 3S-GTE into your car with no headaches and still have a car that performs well beyond your expectations. The 2JZ has 320 hp at the flywheel, and there are several members on here who have the 3S swap that have 330 hp AT THE WHEELS. So with a 3S swap you will actually end up with a much lighter, much faster car.

Like everyone else on 6gc, I would love to see nothing more than a 2JZ powered Celica, but after taking everything into consideration, I will personally fall in line with everyone else and stay with the 3S-GTE that bolts right in.

Perhaps inequalities aren't your forte...

RWD is less than All?

Ummmmmmm I think you mean RWD>All. Perhaps you even meant to go so far as to say RWD>>All.
