Hey guys this might be too little too late to get any action from anyone, but its worth a try.
I have come into possession of a 1997 Celica SL Limited Edition (sadly its automatic too haha). Before i get into what im going to do i want everyone to know that money is not an issue, i am getting paid well and am really pumped to start this project, so i dont need to hear about how stupid it is monetarily. Also i have access to friends that are quite skilled with welding and fabbing that are all supportive and want to help with this. So i want to swap a 2JZ-GTE in and make it rear wheel. Im not looking to go the turbo route, but i am hoping to have at least the engine, trans and rear diff/axle from supra and maybe anything else i can make due with if possible I would love any tips and hurdles that i may come accross throughout this project and anything that may make any part of this any smoother! Things like the following but not secluded to: 1. cutting for the new trans tunnel 2. Is there already room for a driveshaft to fit or will i have to cut for that as well 3.Someone told me that the GT-Four subframe will bolt right up and make room for the rear diff is this true? 4. What of the interior will i have to change to make things keep looking clean and together and not disheveled 5. Should i just go with a supra ecu, or is there something else i should be looking at? And anything else anyone can think of Thanks for any and all help! |

How good do you want to look? or not?
If Money is not an issue and you want a 1JZ, get a JZA70, youll love it. However, there is a guy that placed a RWD 3SGTE. You may want to look in his thread. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=92483 Only issue you will have, is space. Not quite sure the JZ will fit in the engine bay space, unless you push it back, and modify firewall. its a big long block, and will rob into your radiator space. and whatever else slavie said. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
