I've been pondering this crazy idea of an engine swap for a while now let me know how possible and how insane. I have been t5hinking of taking out my 1zz and trading it for a 2jz twin turbo supra engine. The only problem I have is that most places won't return my emails and other think I to nuts...

the 2JZ-GE(I-6 n/a) or 2JZ-GTE(I-6 turbo) motor is too big for our engine bay. the 3S-GTE(I-4 turbo) motor swap has been done though.
Things to think about before doing anything terminal would be:
1. In California, you can only use an engine made in the same year your car was made in or younger.
2. The 3S-GTE motor was meant for AWD (GT-4 Celica) or the RWD mr2. have fun making the 3S-GTE mate with your transmission or even converting to AWD.

Couldn't you make the engine bay bigger?
I mean, with enough money, you could fit a mclaren engine in there.
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
and sung with exultation
To know even one life has breathed easier
This is to have succeeded.

it's not just a matter of fitting a giant engine in there... you'll need chassis work to couple the large powerful engine.
