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

[neKronos]

To put the 2jz in you'd have to build a brand new custom car since youd be modifying and changing so many components to put on the celica chassis.

Basically buy a blown supra shell since you say you have money and if you really like the celica look modify the exterior to look like it. Kinda like 0Re0 put supra tails on his celi.

Thanks for the replies guys, im learning one step at a time.

@ NeKronos- the supra rear end looks sick but i like to keep it original. Thanks though.

give me your buddies information, i want the 2JZ setup.. my Supra needs a heart transplant soon. 700 HP its taking its toll on teh stock engine

I have been looking into a 1.5jz swap and been seriously looking into it. Now this swap is not worth the time and money to be honest, but I figured why not be the first person with one on 6gc. So for cost I have the benefit of being a Toyota Tech. and will be going to UNOH I'm also in there T-Ten program. Things you need to price out are the motor, trans, ECU, rear end sub-frame from a gt4, rear end from a gt4, gas tank from a gt4, custom drive shaft, radiator. As for the custom work (I will be doing this myself, and yes I do have years of welding exp.) all new engine mounts, cross member, fire wall, trans mount, shifter, cut out the tire well/weld over, all new wiring harness. I could keep going on all day with how much custom work you would have to do. I already have rough measurements and if anyone is hard core thinking of doing this i will help as much as posible, but it would be easier to just do a 3s awd conv. if you want more bang for your buck .

Not to mention the shifter would probably be a few inches behind the seats haha

Actually they still use shift linkages for supra's

[CelicaST_CALI]

[Smaay]

thats true, the 6 speed itself is about 4000

[hatchy_gt-s]

Ya I know it sucks, I really want a 6 speed but my budget is way to tight for that. having a 5 speed isnt the end of the world (still be able to smoke supras tho )

[Smaay]

bring it on!!!!

don't forget custom front wheel hubs, custom steering rack to fit the setup.

[CelicaST_CALI]

But again hatchy,if u use the r154(7mgte 5 speed tranny{beast of a tranny}) you run into the shifter being in the back seats....


U also would HAVE to upgrade just about everything,celicas are built for <200 hp..u cant go and shove a 320hp engine in and call it a day,brakes,chassis,suspension,steering...eveything!!!Its gonna cost more to build a 2jzgtte powered t20 than it would be to just buy a mk4....

I dont think it can be done unless you have lots of money and are just plain bored. The Celica already resembles and Supra with the money you'll most likely be spending just buy a damn Supra that has a 2jz or swap one is. Theres a crazy nice stock 94 Supra in my neighborhood ( no where near you guys ) for sale for 17K. It only has 53K on the motor and its N/A.

Just my opinion, if you have the money to do this go for it i dont think its worth it when you can buy the real deal.

[playr158]

Celica front end on a MKiv SUPRA!!

[SlvrCelica09]
