You are in the Speed Shop Tuning and Modification Forum. Your Host is steve_
This forum is to ask questions or enjoy bragging rights about swapping out your stock engine for a more powerful one, be it the same make or from another make of car. This forum is NOT for descriptions of replacing same with same merely to replace a blown up motor. Use the Maintenance & Repair Board for that kind of swap.

is it impossible to keep it front wheel drive? if i do have to switch it do you think it would be better to go all wheel drive or just to rear wheel? |
|
as i understand it, it would mean essenstially building a subframe and then putting the celica shell on top of it. Do you think there is a better way? (or a cheaper way for that matter) i don't think I really want to only keep the shell of my car. if the 2jz-gte just isn't going to be reasonable then what would be another engine that would put out close to the same amount of hp and torque?

| I was told by you guys that I should put a toyota starlet engine in my 1992 paseo. I have found a few engine,tranny, and ecu combos is that all that I'll need or will I need to modify the engine mounts or should it be a direct bolt-in. Also is the tranny used for the starlet the same as the paseo's tranny? thanks | |

I own a 1995 Miata that I swaped a 1988 Ford Mustang 5.0L H.0. V8 into. The car still handles like a dream but now has some power so I can steer with the front or back of the car. 225hp, 300lb ft torque, 2,500lbs...and lots more power potential for very little cash!
