TA22 engine transplant

[csl]

Anyone knows which big hp FR engine can fit into TA22 Celica ar (but jpj compliant la)? Any shop recommended?

 

[PuristOfRacing]

well, using the 25% jpj rule, i would recommend SR20det since see lots of lancer kotak transplant this engine. But if u were to have RA22 with 2.0 ltr engine, can put 1jz-gte. Other choices would be 1g-gte if u want to go 6 cylinders.

4AGE is d safest i guess.... other than that, wat P-O-R said is quite alrite :)

1g-gte(6 cylinders) would be too big and long for TA22 celica. I've seen ppl doing it, but the engine left only less than an inch from the firewall. Engine heat is a problem. I suspect the failure of crumple zone during accident would be a reason of non-complinace to JPJ rules. Beside, the engine is too heavy for Ta22 chassis. Will create a lot of understeer, unless u want to use the car for straight line drag.

4AGE is a good engine. Light and puchy little engine. However u need to modify the cross member to receive the 4AGE. The down side abt the engine is that u have to pay premium price of the engine as this engine is popular and heavily speculated throughout Malaysia.

When many ppl are looking for the engines, the harga naik melambung......supply and demand thing. Ask any kedai kereta potong dealers, how much is a 4AGE today and how much it was say 5 years ago.....

I think not only the engines are being speculated, all AE86 parts oso being speculated....

Supra gearbox is too big for the transmission tunnel for the TA22. Beside, the gear stick location needed to be relocated.

 

[MK84]

Use the W55/W58 Supra gearbox. That one will fit.

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

w58's weak

3SGE from Altezza. If you have a 2.0 celica.
3SGTE moded with altezza FR 3S and 3SGTE from celica. All you want is the 6 speed gearbox. hahaha.
F20C VTEC unit from Honda S2000. Also 2.0. But you need to do a lot of work.

Did i mention both the S2000 and Altezza halfcuts cost an arm and leg?:shades_smile:

Other options is SR20DET or CA18DET from nissans.

1G, 1J not to say cannot. But have you seen the pictures of Celicas using those. They did a hell lot of mod to get it in.:sad_smile: By the time you make it all work, it would cost an arm and leg as well. hahaha.

anyone know the code of rs200's 6-speed gbox? its not the supra's v160 right? until today still cannot find info on it.. dunno why so hard one..

can it be fitted to ke70 with 20v 4age? *evil grin* relocate shift stick location or cut a new hole for it i dun care.. as long as no need bang the tunnel to fit it.

1.6L
4A-GTE: cheap and reliable, and able to wrack some asses out there.

2.0L
SR20-DET: powerful right from the factory, but higher modification cost.

3S-GTE: hell you'll need a fat wallet to play with this beast, lots of fabrication work.

Actually I prefer SR20DET. But don't know what is the final cost and wheter JPJ/puspacom approve or not. If too much of cut/weld, I may as well just put good pistons and a turbine.
