Engine swap.....

[Jetlag885]

Hi all, i have a question regarding a possible or maybe impossible engine swap.
At the moment im running a GT4 celica, but being the nut i am, i want way more than the turbo celica engine can ever give.
What i would LIKE to do, is swap the 3sgte from the celica for an RB26 DETT from a skyline gtr and with a suitable rear drive box.
I dont suppose theres a chance the 4 wheel drive system could be grafted in?
I was pointed in this direction from the Tvr website Pistonheads.
Any replies gratefully appreciated, just dont say no! :)

Everythings possible, its just a case of whether its afforadable!!
Whats wrong with the 3sgte engine, thqats a damn good peice of kit, do a good rebuild on that with rods pistons, bottom end and big turbo and you could see 500hp, with a lot less weight than with a bigger engine conversion.
Tuning company Top Secret put a 3sgte engine in a supra, for better weight distribution etc, and got 700hp out of that!

The engine you got in there is fine, tune that nicely instead.
Putting another engine in from a completely different car would be near impossible.
Your engine transverse mounted, skyline is longitudal, dunno if it would fit in TBH!!!

Good luck whatever you do mate
