ra65 celica with 22r want to do a 1jzgte conversion

[sam-131]

1g is crap shit all aftermarket parts shit all power/torque if you wanted 2lt turbo then a 3s is a much better option or even a 7agte would be a goer over a 1g i'll give it that the 1g is cheap and easy to transplant

it's been tryed a and test jz's been done heaps of times in a ra65/ra60/sa63 shell and it works great power is easyerly and cheaply made the engines are bomb proof and love to rev and come on these days with coilovers you can afford to change spring rates daily to adjust to the "massive wieght change" i carnt really see a jz beening much more then a 1g

if i had a few $$$ lieing around i would have a 2jzge sitting in my engine bay with massive cams and massive webers off the side of it

If you are first timer when it comes to a conversion, id choose a 1ggte. It would be easier and cheaper than a 3S and hell easier than a 1J or 2J!!! 1G has plenty of power for some hill climbing, lighter than a 1/2J. Try keep it simple. Other alternative I suggest is a 7AGE turbo. Proven relaibility that the 4A has and has made proven power time and time again. 3S would be nice but a bit more difficult to convert to RWD

Anything's possible, but if you're looking in that direction, how about a 1UZ? It's pretty easy to mate them to 'W' series boxes these days, there's heaps of support for them as far as upgrades, and they're torque monsters. I've seen one in an MA61, it was a horn conversion

Its not like you can just pick up a 7AGTE at your local wreckers....

yeah 1J is good but 1J is LONGER and a more difficult conversion.

You are clueless. Tim's Car has a very recessed firewall, amoung other things. The fact is that the 1JZ is longer, taller, and heavier than the 1G... which only just fits really as it is.

Yes the JZ swap is possible, and yes it has more aftermarket support - and so what?

[sam-131]

so what bah as i said if i were going to the trouble of fitting a diffrent engine i would be going for a jz

clueless ay have you fitted one?? we've test fitted a 2jzge into a 65 and it fit like a glove

[Merudo]

your so heckit i want your ghay babies

Sorry, you're not my type.

Really though, swap a SA63 cross-member and get a 3S-GE Beams, OH YEAH!
That RA40 with the beams make 160kw+ at the wheels, GT's ITB'ed 2JZ makes 148kw at the wheels!

I've seen this car personally... It can be techincally engineered but something was done to not make it engineerable but the orginal owner didn't want to do it for some reason... I can't remember... I know he modified the radiator support on the RA60 as the engine is long but yes, it's possible.

A JZ-series engine conversion into an RA6x Celica does not make sense when you can pick up an MA61 for a couple of grand, which was actually designed for a long heavy inline six and has stacks of room in the engine bay. As said a JZ engine will fit in the Celica but it's shitloads harder to do, you'll have cooling problems with the crowded engine bay, and the weight balance will be totally screwed - and no you can't fix that with stiffer springs.

If you want a Celica, stay with a 4-cylinder engine or a small six like the 1G. If you want a 1JZ, get rid of the Celica and buy something more suited to a big six like the MA61.
