Celica Forums General Discussion General JDM MOTOR

im getting a JDM motor for my car and he said the gts celica in japan has more 15hp and i was wondering what website could i see that spec of a jdm motor? i cant wait to get it!!!!

swapping motors for 15 hp is a huge waste IMO...but i think its only 10hp...either way you might as well swap the mr2 turbo motor (its heavy but easy to find parts and relatively cheap to mod)

yeah well i blew my motor last sat. so im getting this one for $900 with on 25,000 or less on it... its cheapest i could find...

i was just wondering where i could find this out

does anyone know a place i can find the jdm celica spec 00 and ^

for turbo motor for $900 thats going to use the same wiring and ecu? all for $900...

the guy said something for $1900 would sell me a stock 2zz-g2 tubro motor...

i thought in japan they didnt make a 2zz tubro motor

does anyone know where i can find the spec of a JDM 2zz-ge celica at?

i cant find it anywhere

I though it was 10 hp more because of the ecu they use and the higher octane gas they use in japan? How would that help using 91 crap octane over here

we get 93... i thought it had something to do with the ecu but the people said that it was different motor parts... nothing to do with gas or wiring... thats why im trying to find someone thats knows this stuff

^^its worthless getting an engine from japan.
the extra hp is only from the ECU. they brought the car here and tuned it alittle for emissions.

plus the octane rating will help alittle bit also cz the jdm 2zz is programmed for running on 93+ octane

i dont think its the ecu i have been looking and i think its different motor parts but i could be wrong... im still getting it becuause im getting a hella good deal for the motor and i might be selling them in the futher im just going to do some more research...

i have to buy a new motor no matter what because my old on is blew up so i have to get something to so i might as well get a jdm motor if its cheaper then then rest of the usdm

theres no difference dude, you can search for it urself. no difference whatsoever.
u get it imported, its gonna cost you more just to bring it in.

okay!!! lets see i can have the motor cheaper than a usdm ship and everything which would you buy it from monkeywrenchracing.com for 1800 and they have usdm motors... and if can get a jdm motor for $900 ship flat... what would you go for? hard aint it

i think i might just go for the JDM motor

and you'd spend over 10 g's for a 3sgte? it doesn't bolt right in.. theres a lot of fabrication involved

But maaan, its mad JDM YO!! All the little girlies will love him.

im starting to think its somewhat the ecu, but my friends said he thought the pistons might be different

but if anyone knows a website where i can find this stuff out if you pont mind pm or post it up

10 G's on a motor with low gains...
I'd rather spend 10 G's on visuals for my car... then eat a snickers bar and drive in your car and then some how take a wrong turn and happen to run into a photo shoot but they dont have a car so you offer your car and get to have your car and picture on a cover of a magizine with hotties all over it..!
Eat a snickers and be famous!

lol yeah im not sure about putting a old mr2 mot0r in my car...

hey guys i called the place that im buying my motor today and they said they had a 2zzge that was tubro charged from japan... i thought even japan the celica were not tubro charged... does anyone know about that?

must have been added aftermarket

I agree, the extra HP comes from the setup & ECU, not the engine.
