Folks, I have plans to fit a 1G-GTE (old supra engine) into a 1979 RA40 celica. What I need to acquire is the knowledge of how I will have to modify my engine bay to accomodate a 6 cylinder engine into a 4 cylinder bay. If anyone has ever performed this conversion before, or knows of anyone who has, your help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if any of you know the sort of replacements and upgrades for mechanicals such as brakes, suspension, transmission, differential, gearbox & electrical required to accomodate the almost doubled horsepower that will be going into this vehicle it would be wonderful to get your advice and ideas. Cheers, Nick. This post has been edited by Nick_RA40: Nov 13 2006, 10:29 PM -------------------- ![]() |

Thanks a heap guys, I had a look at joining Toymods, but can't afford the membership fee at the moment. I understand that you can look at the modifications section even unregistered, but none of the modifications are for an RA40 celica, though i'm getting the distinct feeling that doesn't matter. |

QUOTE(Nick_RA40 @ Nov 22 2006, 03:12 PM) [snapback]1280496045[/snapback] I have come accross a cheap 18R-GEU, and i would like to know if it is possible to turbo it, and if so, with what turbo? Alot of work will need to go into turboing an 18rg. Its really not worth it for bang for buck. but would be cool if u want to be different. You'll need to upgrade the internals to take a turbo and alot of custom work will need to be done. and u still wont be making a great load of power. 1ggte would be the way to go cos u'd be making way more power for way less effort. Can u please let me know where i can get the 18rgeu tho? i'm not planning on performance and wud like to put an 18rgeu in my ra23 celica but cant find one ![]() |
