3s-gte is just too much power for the 7th gen celica. total cost and upcoming furture cost isn't pocket friendly. you're better of buying a new car with bigger engine if you want speed

With a little creativity, I'm sure you get an H22 to fit. They are cheap & powerful. thumbsup

Not at all, a few custom mounts, easily done with the right tools. I've seen a lot freakier things done than that. An H22 puts out a solid 200HP & you pick a used one up with a tranny & computer for about $2,500. The time will be in butchering the wiring harness, but that still aint too bad. Most engine swaps require splicing of the harness anyway.

well if your going honda/acura then you should also consider toyota/lexus. the nsx isn't that hot of a car for the price it looks hot, but it's only 290hp and it's 90k! a bit too high. I like the honda S2k for honda cars the best. lexus is300 or sc430 are nice too..

I know a guy who did a CRX with an H22 for a total cost of about $2,500 & its pretty god dam fast. If he ever gets the cash together to put the turbo on it, it will be real scary. thumbsup thumbsup

...um the NSX-R is up to par with the High performance Lamborghini's, porches and ferarris. I think Best Motoring put like a stradale and other select exotics with the NSX and it did quite well considering the weight etc
