1974 Celica Engine

[Da-view]

well depending on which gearbox it has in there a 4age will easy go in, probably a nice cheap option

it's got a supra 5 speed gear box in it :)

[Sam_Q]

I thought they came with a t50?

[styler]

yeah the ta22's do come with early t50 ( 20 spline output shaft ) stock if its a 2t motor.

3tgteu w55 is the only supra gearbox to bolt up to t series motors.

w55 series supra gearboxes (maybe others) can be mated to t series motors

using a 1G bellhousing but no other way has been found yet.

 

some good advice from everyone, just on the technical side though id say a really great option

for turbo would be a 3tc motor straight swap and run a small bolt on 3tc turbo kit and ecu, run 160hp

and use the stock t50 and get a t series lsd in the stock diff, upgrade the axles though. then spend money

on repair, suspension, handling and brakes. any power over 160hp you will need a driveline upgrade,

ie supra box and f series diff with lsd for reliable aggressive driving.

 

quite a few ta22 engine options:

 

2t:

3tc:

2tg:

3tg hybrid:

3tgte:

4ag series:

18r:

18rg:

1g series:

3sg series:

ca18 series:

sr20 series:

 

people have worked the stock 2t motor to a semi driveable 100kw at the flywheel NA

spec build up but its not too friendly anymore to cruise around in.

 

you can't find a 3tgteu because they are an old and unusual engine, i have had one,

its twinspark, parts are really expensive or just simply not avaliable, the standard ecu is run by

a gameboy, its the perfect turbo motor for a ta22 prepared you give up a bit of your life to

sort one out and spend big on rebuild and retuning a delco ecu or similar.

 

ta22 turbo motor conversion cost estimate is from $5000 base swap to $10000 more power.

that might give you some idea of everything, still loads of people playing around with old celicas.

well i'm now thinkin sr20 would be pretty sick what would i need 2 get it done and how much would it cost?

[beerhead]

I'd spend my first $1200 on suspension mods. Maybe then, find some extractors, bolt on a webber or 2 and a mild cam and learn to drive the car on the edge. Straight line speed isn't all its cracked up to be, exhilarating, yes, but there's no better feeling than being in an underpowered car and being able to out drive someone in the twisties. It'll probably help you hold onto your P's a little longer too. Too many people are in a pissing contest based on horsepower, and they're the ones that attract a lot of unwanted attention.

You'll need an SR20 to start with, and that will cost about 2000 bucks to get it sitting on your workshop floor.
