I know its not just for 1j/2j swaps, but come on man. The mk3 is a heavy beast and its just is a waste of time putting in a 4 cyl engine in it. I guess if you do it and have some info or pics that can prove its a worthy swap, than thats cool, but it has been asked about many times and has never got anywhere:nono:

Other Engine Tech (1JZ-GTE, 2JZ-GTE, Etc)

the 3sgte is a very, very capable powerplant. infact, Nick is right on track here:

3S-GTE 86mm x 86mm bore and stroke. Sound familiar?

if memory serves me right, that would be the same bore and stroke as the 2jz. so it's basically a 2jz with two cylanders chopped off. ;)

its funny because I used to have an all trac celica as my second car a few years back , and it is nothing power wise compared to the 1jz. The 3sgte has nothing over the way my 1j is now. I have had many high performance cars since then, rb20det 240sx ect...My Mk3 1jzgte is no comparison to a 4 banger! But if you do it, let me see some pics, and lets see some numbers!
