    Default Engine conversion for ta22 celica

    Hey guys,

    Just looking around for an engine etc at the moment to put in my ta22 and i was wondering what engine would be good for an easy conversion and what sort of gearbox's, diffs etc to use.

    Hi,

    In a nutshell you need to define what you mean by "easy". If it means the least expensive and the conversion with the least amount of hassles, then go for a 2T-G engine. You'll be able to keep your existing drive train and the 2T-G is almost a bolt-in job.

    However, as mentioned, search the web and these forums for 2T-G powered TA22 cars and see what you like and then come back with more questions if you still require answers.

    4age 20v?
    sr20det?

    these are not "bolt in" solutions mind you

    mate why not go for the 3TGTEU?

    yeah its a bit old but you can get some awsome power figures and alot easier to install than the 4A motors

    Spend the money that you would've spent on a 4AGE on a 2TG (non EFI version).... But if you can't get parts then knock urself out.
