2JZ-GTE -> Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185

[82Corona]

a friend of mine was telling me about how a 2JZ would fit into a ST185... is this true?

i said it was unlikely and that he was full of Sh*t, the 2JZ is just too big...

any input appreciated

[SteveGT4]

I's be suprised if it did without a lot of modification.

But if you find that it does .. let me know .. :)

:D:D:D tell your mate to give himself an uppercut

there is no way on god's big blue and green marble that a 2JZGTE will fit into a celica GT4 without a full tube frame chassis and the equivalent of the chinese national debt for a build budget.

[gianttomato]

Oh, and the fact that it's the engine is oriented the wrong way. You'd need flared arches to accomodate the engine.

ROTFL

After spending most of yesterday manhandling a 2JZ-GTE into my Supra's engine bay, this is one of the funniest things I've heard. :) The 2JZ is a bloody big engine... there is simply no way you're going to get a big inline six to fit in an engine bay designed for a transverse four!

If possible you should find a way to prevent your friend from breeding. :)

ROFL @ norbie

That Volvo inline 6 ain't exactly small, yet they somehow fit it in an S80.
Those Swedes are, IMHO, nuts though ... bring on Secoh's budget, I say! :)

Nah, too wussy.
How about a Dodge Viper V-10 in a Mini?

heheh I remeber that too. I recon the way to go is to just bolt some mini wheels to the V10 sump :D:D:D

and put a fan on the crank for forward speed!

82Corona: They would have a better chance of putting on in a 82 Corona. :D

I'm looking for PhotoShop tell-tales ... :)

Is that car for real? Someone shoe-horned ... what, a Skyline GT-R drivetrain in & matched it to a 2JZ-GTE? The GT4 is east-west innit?

[GTSBoy]

I'm looking for teh back half of the motor :)

[Nick]

Think they cut the fire wall out GTSBoy.. yep seems that way.. better for handling.

[Norbie]

Ah the wonders of Photoshop. :)

[Burns]

And it seems to be siting closer to the left side

[Nick]

gezz everyone is a bloody critic.. 2min job. I though it was funny. Steve loved it and is thinking about making it real! :D

[SteveGT4]

Where's that tape measure gone .....

[82Corona]

LOL... i showed this thread to my mate and i've never heard a more deafening silence... i no longer beleive anything he has to say...

thanks for the input guys... much appreciated

You're as full of sh!t as the guy that reckoned the 2JZ would fit in his Celica. You and I both know all you're doing is waving spanners at it occasionally and it's all just falling into place for you.

Bastard.

[Norbie]

The funny thing is, sometimes I don't even have to wave spanners around - people come around and do it for me. LOL! :)
