Ohhh....

I remember a while back, someone here talked about putting a 2ZZ-GE into a tC. Whatever happened to that?

that would be sweet, but going turbo is a better option

It's been discussed.

Also, it's my belief that the engine torque is the saving grace of our car... not to mention that the 2ZZ-FE has a lower displacement than the 2AZ-FE.

Here's the website

What I plan to do is get a 2ZZ-GE head and put it on the 2AZ block and get the ECU from a 2001, 2003 or 2004 Celica GT-S. But that would be later down the road. (or would it have to be?)

doubt you will find a DIY on it, possibly a parts list but no one will give you a step by step for such a long process.

Okay so i got the engine, tranny, ecu, harness, axles and shift link cables. also got the starter and they said they would let go off all 4 spindles for 125 so i'll most likely go back for those to. if anyone sees anything that i'm missing please tell me. any help is greatly appreciated
