lol those older celie motors are quite large bro. and ancient motors without much power.

The whole engine swap thing has been talked about a good deal before. Yes a engine swap has been done. A company in the UK put the Celica GT-S 1.8L VVTL-i engine into a Echo hatch. So yes it can be done. There where pics around on the net, but I think only a few ppl still have them now.

i wouldnt do a 1zz because it is not a good powerplant to upgrade from, a 2zz is way to expensive. 3sg-te is too large and would require tube framing, the most reasonable choice is the 4ag-ze with the fwd transmission. its cheap and small enough to fit in with only minimal subframe cutting and reinforcing

how isnt 1zz good to upgrade from? with a trd s/c u get 162 whp. add header , full exhaust , re-ground cams , cam con. and man it'll frickin fly.

I think the 2AZ-FE suits the tC very well. With the money you do on a swap you can get a turbo but i see where your coming from if you want that N/A power. This is going to get flamed to hell but.... why not a K20A3? Good power and many N/A mods out there. Ive seen B-series engines with 300+hp N/A and i know its hard for us toyota people to admit but honda makes some kick ___ N/A engines.
