I want to see a prius Hybrib swap into my celica, so if I ever find myself with lots of money I'll look into having it done. I'm sure I could get a prius for what the swap would cost but it wouldn't be as cool as a 6g.

ew. ask any of my friends, I absolutely HATE prius's. the slowest drivers on the road, I swear!

94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive
Prius sticks to me on the highway....we're all a big caravan....wonder if I swap my 7a to a prius motor, would it be faster.....hahaha....j/k...I love my celi the way it is, but I'll love it more if it's gonna get a 3s.

2XXwhp transverse mounted 6speed black top 4age with RWD would make a very sick ///M chasing celica :eek:


what tranny would you use for a transverse/rwd setup?


The stock tranny that comes with it.

except what rear end would you use.....this has me thinkinz


With a transverse setup, you don't have a rear differential.

how could you use the stock tranny? the blacktop 4age in the ae111 is tranverse/fwd. wouldnt you have to mount the engine longitudinally for rwd? as far as i know there is no front engine/tranverse mounted/rwd car in existence. i think you are either confusing transverse and longitudinal or you are thinking of the blacktop beams 3sge.

edit- i need to learn how to type



He asked for a transverse/RWD setup, meaning the engine would be midship mounted, just like an MR2, which uses a FWD transmission with the shift linkage on the opposite side.

ummm dude you got it wrong....defenitly talking transversely mounted meaning the motor is STILL in the engine bay turned 90*
which means you still need a RWD tranny (bell housing conversion), drive shaft and a rear end for RWD

where did anyone say to put it in the rear?

Normally, when someone says transverse/RWD, they mean midship mounted, ala MR2. There's no point in transverse mounting an engine in a F/R (front engine rear drive) car.

few things that are on my mind with this.

rear knuckles? we don't have them now...substitute?
what suspension and rear end setups have you considered using?

front knuckles? you can just remove the axles out of the front and leave them hallow...what are you thinking to replace them?

just some small starters smile.gif

For the rears, I would probably end up using parts from something RWD and Toyota... probably a Supra. Obviously they would have to be custom installed in the rear. The fronts will actually work just the way they are with a modification to the bearing setup... a simple solution would be to use the outter parts of a cv joint and the stock nut to keep the bearing bolted together, just like stock.

Have you ever done, or thought about building up a twin charged celica?

I've thought about doing that.. but I'm thinking that the cost of a project like that would be ridiculous.

Alright, I'll post up some pics by next week.

sounds good... What motor is going in the corolla and what year?
'95 Corolla, 4AGZE swap, supercharged and turbocharged smile.gif

wow that is really diff!!! Didnt think that culd be done.
What about a 2JZGTE into an old school muscle. I.E. Mustang Fastback or Firebird? There are some realitively cheap rolling chassis floating around here.
a twin charged 4agze isn't really a complicated setup, been done a few times before...the new VWs are twin charged as well smile.gif


can't wait to see pics of that...smile.gif
Cool a twin charged Corolla I gotta see this. In my opinion id rather have a twin charged celica than v8 or 12 motor. Gas is gonna be a bitch to pay for.
I have been following swaps for a while.

Adrians' FWD v6 swap was Nice, but an AWD swap is even cooler.

There was a classic Celica getting a Skyline driveline with a Toyota V8,
but the site is down, and I don't know if it was ever finished. :-(

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Well Doc. After reading all these posts, and if no one has came to you yet. Once I land this position selling real estate, and can find someone or some way to pass smog here in California.... I would be happy to make a visit to you within a 5-6 month period of working in my new job. Wait, scratch that. 5-6 if I don't get that position, but landing another job if I can find one that can pay me more like around $15/hr. Unless I can get that job as the real estate agent, then I can see you sooner than that. I want to ask you so much, but I am going to bite my lip and just see what happens. I feel as though I said too much too soon. But just keep me in mind for the future.

An AWD mid-engine setup? MMmmmm... I'd have to give that a lot of thought. I can't think of a tranny right off the bat that I would use.
