celica

Hello. I was searching for a good project car to swap after deciding that I did not want to swap my B210 (was close to doing a VG33 or Ecotec in it), since the B210 was never really the chassis I wanted to base the build on. I have driven the car for 7 years doing brake and suspension mods along...

Hi, I am currently in the middle of doing a 1UZ swap into my 85 Celica GT "Mandalorian" few pics of where I'm at.

Hi all. I'm aware of the 1mzfe conversions for this model, (st202) but to my knowledge no one has fitted a 1uzfe. I know V8 and fwd is not considered a good match generally, but it's not completely unknown in the car world (mostly American cars with the LS4 and the rare Lancia Thema). The goal...

I am currently right in the middle of swapping my 84 celica gt ( ra64 ) and time be completely honest I dint know shit about wiring a swap. I have the loom out and but I am missing an ecu and was wondering if I should try to buy a reman’d ECU or just go stand alone. Is it possible to keep stock...

Hello all! I have an engine building class (currently 5 weeks behind...) and a 1990 LS400 in my garage. I've successfully removed the intake and valve covers and find myself wondering if this will ever find its way into the Celica. I haven't gotten that one into the shop yet, but next week I...

Here's my 77 celica GT Liftback. It has AE86 short stroked front struts with coilovers, AE86 rack&pinion conversion, built chevy 12 bolt 4.56 rear axle, new old stock 1977 Appliance Diamags 15x7.5 & 15x8.5, putting a 1UZ-FE in very soon. Still a work in progress, but coming along fairly quickly...

Hello, this is Timmy from atlanta, ga. I have a 77 toyota celica currently doing a 1uzfe swap. Did quite a bit of study thank to this forum and i thought its time to say hello. I'm still quite the noob on the 1uz but from what i seen and read so far lead me to purchase one myself. So far...

Hi all. I just recently aquired an '85 Celica GT-S (RA65). The engine is fine and has a few mods like CAI and A/C removed but it has probably seen better days and is lower in power than my bone stock 22re in my '93 hilux. So after talking to one of my good friends he is willing to sell me the...

Hey folks. I'm James. Trying to research and gain as much info as possible on the 1UZ and I've discovered alot about it, but not enough to go on through with a swap to my 4th gen Toyota Celica. And here's the star. This is me and the car. Mother owned Alexis before I was born. I want to do...

Hello all, I'm attempting to slip a 1UZFE into the old girl, it fits but it's tight. I started by buying a 92 LS400 with "mechanical problems" real cheap, all it needed was a coil pack and it ran like a dream, but I took the motor and tranny out anyway. So far I have the motor mounts made...

My existing TTUZ thread has the forum aids so for some reason is out of order and started by someone else :confused: but anyways :rolleyes: the last coupla pages show my new SC setup along with a vid of the first proper startup :) I like the noises it makes ;)...

I'm building this. Got ready to drive it, and I've got a 1uz with a dead cylinder :( I will post lots of pictures later.

After cruising around this site for a bit I realized that there is a number of 1st generation celicas hangin around. I thought that it would be great to get a collection of tips, tricks, swap photos, and any other info on putting a 1uz an RA2x or Ta2x. Then all of us with the classics can fry...

Well, I haven't stated yet, it will have to wait till probably next year(or my wife will probalby divorce me) but I plan to do TT 1UZ swap with either VVTI heads, or 2UZ heads. Here is the car though, this will be my daily driver until then.

My 2002 Celica is going to have an engine upgrade. Everyone is spending thousands of dollars to have a 300+HP FWD car (not to mention ricer body kits)!? My goal is to have a V8 engine in the car while keeping a stock-like appearance. I am in the process of buying a Celica that has been...
