celica

I am hoping to get my 77 Celica real road legal instead of just dodging emissions... I need most all emissions related equipment, 1990-1994 preferably 91, LS 400. EGR, vacc hoses, air intake, I even would be interested in catalytic converters... I may be chasing my tail, and its going to be a...

Anyone knows if the 1Uz -Fe will fit in my Toyota Celica? My celica is a 5-speer tranny. I hear the Lexus LS 400 and the GS 400 carry this engine. But I don't know what year is the best fit. '89-'95? Also, can it be possible to swap a 1JZ instead of the 1UZ one? Would I need to also replace the...

Hello. I was searching for a good project car to swap after deciding that I did not want to swap my B210 (was close to doing a VG33 or Ecotec in it), since the B210 was never really the chassis I wanted to base the build on. I have driven the car for 7 years doing brake and suspension mods along...

Hi, I am currently in the middle of doing a 1UZ swap into my 85 Celica GT "Mandalorian" few pics of where I'm at.

Hi all. I'm aware of the 1mzfe conversions for this model, (st202) but to my knowledge no one has fitted a 1uzfe. I know V8 and fwd is not considered a good match generally, but it's not completely unknown in the car world (mostly American cars with the LS4 and the rare Lancia Thema). The goal...

I am currently right in the middle of swapping my 84 celica gt ( ra64 ) and time be completely honest I dint know shit about wiring a swap. I have the loom out and but I am missing an ecu and was wondering if I should try to buy a reman’d ECU or just go stand alone. Is it possible to keep stock...

Hello all! I have an engine building class (currently 5 weeks behind...) and a 1990 LS400 in my garage. I've successfully removed the intake and valve covers and find myself wondering if this will ever find its way into the Celica. I haven't gotten that one into the shop yet, but next week I...

Looking at getting a few 1uz and 3uz engines for cheap and wondering if there is a gearbox adaptor besides the R154 or toyota W boxes? World class t5 are 36kg from an S10 and bmw 5 speeds are used by K miata are also very cheap and plentiful in comparison not to mention very compact. Im looking...

decided to go this way for the next motor to go into my celica. it is currently in the process of getting a 91 ls400 1uz, manual rack and pinion steering and a roll/harness bar. by friend is doing the fab work because i dont trust my welding enough for sturctural work but for small body repair...

i just recently came across a car that i gave up looking for, an awd aristo. its been written off and is for sale as a parts car. i am currently working on putting a 1uz into a 72 celica coupe and i thought that an awd one would be a little more different. i would also like to keep my...

Here's my 77 celica GT Liftback. It has AE86 short stroked front struts with coilovers, AE86 rack&pinion conversion, built chevy 12 bolt 4.56 rear axle, new old stock 1977 Appliance Diamags 15x7.5 & 15x8.5, putting a 1UZ-FE in very soon. Still a work in progress, but coming along fairly quickly...

Hey guys. I have been working on a 1977 Celica GT Liftback for a while now, and I finally got an engine swap to put in it. Well, I should say I got an entire 1992 SC400 donor car. Im putting the 1UZ in the celica, and basically joined up here for any extra knowledge that will help me get along...

Hello, this is Timmy from atlanta, ga. I have a 77 toyota celica currently doing a 1uzfe swap. Did quite a bit of study thank to this forum and i thought its time to say hello. I'm still quite the noob on the 1uz but from what i seen and read so far lead me to purchase one myself. So far...

Hi all. I just recently aquired an '85 Celica GT-S (RA65). The engine is fine and has a few mods like CAI and A/C removed but it has probably seen better days and is lower in power than my bone stock 22re in my '93 hilux. So after talking to one of my good friends he is willing to sell me the...

Hey folks. I'm James. Trying to research and gain as much info as possible on the 1UZ and I've discovered alot about it, but not enough to go on through with a swap to my 4th gen Toyota Celica. And here's the star. This is me and the car. Mother owned Alexis before I was born. I want to do...

Hello all, I'm attempting to slip a 1UZFE into the old girl, it fits but it's tight. I started by buying a 92 LS400 with "mechanical problems" real cheap, all it needed was a coil pack and it ran like a dream, but I took the motor and tranny out anyway. So far I have the motor mounts made...

My existing TTUZ thread has the forum aids so for some reason is out of order and started by someone else :confused: but anyways :rolleyes: the last coupla pages show my new SC setup along with a vid of the first proper startup :) I like the noises it makes ;)...

I'm building this. Got ready to drive it, and I've got a 1uz with a dead cylinder :( I will post lots of pictures later.
