Guest comeandzpa Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 What about something like a low-boost SR20, or a CA18? Then there's always the FJ's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scrote:v2 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 hmm am an avid fan of the old school celicas and have seen this little beuty(red ta22) in the flesh and is a fine example but yes lots of custom work done. im currently building a 2tg/3tg hybrid engine for my ta22 but if your after something a bit newer why not go a 3sgte. good power without the extra weight of the six. the sixes allso dont fit very well in this model celica but the 1ggte will fit in the next shape easilly enough.

Michael Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 This is probably too conservative for your purposes, but the most straightforward swap would be a 22RE engine, found in 1982-1985 Celicas (the last generation of the RWD Celicas) and 80’s/early 90’s trucks. It’s only a 4-cylinder and definitely not a high-rpm engine, but the torque output is good and it’s 2.4L. First-generation fuel injection, actually pretty logical and straightforward to work on.
