Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Celica with a JDM HONDA INTEGRA TYPE R

Could this be done ? i'm looking into it.

^^^^^^ WTF are you talking about???? Swapping a GSR engine into a celica...pffff...right...

it would be faster a new Type R with a few mods will hit 250 to the wheel.

I'm looking at the K20a

If you have money, then anything can be done...

its not to much 5K for the the complete swap then a few hundred for other things .

why must peopple ruin a nice toyota vehicle with honda parts? im amazed that someone would want to do this...

you do relize that both honda and toyota are great.
the only reason you hate honda so much is becaseofthe ricers...
honda moteros are great.

*spelling
but regardless both aregreat.

most the guys on here hate to much... sorry but is it becase the hondas are faster ? or you lost a race once? I likemy toyota , and I like honda just as much . I got the celica becase thats what I wanted ,the body looks great.

" why must peopple ruin a nice toyota vehicle with honda parts? im amazed that someone would want to do this..."
sorry buddy . I've had two celiacs sold one . both GTS they are nice but I just think it would be a nice Combo

stupid
buy a honda if you want the motor
or better yea a dif car if you need to be fast.

Yeah i agree ^^^ parts from another make car shouldn't not be used for another. That is dumb.

I think i'll get me ah honda

didn't realize it would cauze this much of a stink. its kindda funny.

harsh..

possibly. in a magazine i read a while ago they but like a B16 in some old v-walgon. but i think it would be hard to do, possibly impossible.

I have seen an S2K motor in an 86, whoever the fuck said it's gonna be 5k is an idiot. It's going most likely double that...

I dunno its your money, do as you please.

if you want to be faster put a type R enigne in one of those scooter.. and turbo it.

should've just got a type-r

cost of your car + $5000 = used s2000 (that's got a honda engine right?)

you want a honda plus you want speed, should have made that decision earlier before you plunked the dough on the celica...

it was just an idea guys, take it easy geez.

personally i think it would be kinda interesting. Since the celica's chasis is pretty stiff and nice, and it's light, with a great suspension and brakes. think about it, the celica and ITR are pretty close rivals but if they work together and use their strengths together you might have a monster hybrid. the JDM ITR motor has nearly 220 hp(k20), and has a tuning potential. toda cams, hondata ECU, etc. combined with the hotchkis celica could make a beast.

of course i'd probably just get an ITR just cause its cheaper and easier cuase it does have great handling abilities too.

i should have too. better luck for me next time

You do know that your car would never be street legal anywhere with that swap, right?
I'd just invest the $5K on a turbo kit, but that swap does sound interesting. The cost is probably going to be a lot more then $5k and it's probably going to cause a lot of head aches with custom mounts and for both a honda motor, tranny and axles, and who knows what else you'll need from the Integra or custom parts.

If you really want it then go for it since the Type R motor does have a lot more manufacture backing it is a more capable motor, and if you decide to do it then you can finally put a VTEC and TYPE R decal on your car and it won't be false.

I think Honda makes a great performance motor and I like Honda, but I just want to know something, "WHY". It's just like me taking a Type-R and wanting to put a VVTL-i motor in it. Perfect word for this is "Pointless". I love my GTS motor and it performs very well, if you know how to drive it right. LOL...By putting a Honda motor in a Toyota is like saying, "the VVTL-i Toyota motor sucks and Honda is better". I give you credit for having a decent imagination, but why in the world would you think of this, out of all things to think of...LOL Perfect solution for ya, sell your GTS, buy a honda and fix it up to look like a Celica...

Actually, an engine swap IS legal if you take all the emissions equipment with it from the car you're gutting. (at least in Texas)

I say if you've got the money to spend, and you don't want to wait for more performance parts for the celi to come out, do it!

I think I'll just drive my celica till it dies, then get a 1999 Civic and do a swap.

Thanks KIM

actually if its a jdm its not legal which is why it is a jdm and not a us spec

That will be a very long time, so enjoy and I know you will.
