Could it work? The Celica in question is the ST model, which according to wikipedia only weighs about 2200 lbs, 1200 lighter than the Supra the engine was intended for. That'd make this Celica basically into a rocket, wouldn't it? Thoughts?

1989 celica? I think you mean the 1984 celica...

Hey Clip y would anybody out there want to waste time and money in putting in a 2jz into a mini van. The idea sucks even for a yaris. Some car r just not ment to go fast.
some might shoot me for this...but ive always wanted to take a mustang with a stright 6 in it and then put in a 2jz
yes...this was inspired from a movie that many people frown upon, but hey...if u want to go custom i havent seen a 68 mustang with a twin turbo toyota motor yet!!!

holy shit 89, that was sarcasm.
and the yaris can hold its own against other cars in its class, not like its a total POS.
but now that you have to stop and think about the 2j sienna, consider converting it to a mid engine, awd monster. in fact, just take the mazda mpv and put the engine directly behind the drivers seat.
how about a 2jzgte in a old school datsun 240 like a 73 to dodge smog crap they put a 350 ls4 into these with a kit but they also bolt in 350's into supras with kits why not go 2jzgte 240 call it a 2J4Z0-GTE tune 800+ hp out of the little car it would be a rocket.
Thats been done before theres 2 240s like that around here ones a S13 and the other old datsun 240z. I'm pretty sure the 2jz been in every RWD import.
take the Celica put a RB26DETT in it with the full 4 wheel drive system. That sound original to me. a little nuts and expensive but original and cool

a celica with an RB26 and functioning ATTESA-ETS?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
that would be neat though, I suppose but I'd rather do it in an S14. Full Race finished theirs recently so they have turn key swaps as an option now.
