the getrag and the R154 box will not fit in the tunnel without tunnel mods. u can buy a JZA80 trans tunnel from toyota for a quite reasonable price and weld it in or u can just use a W58 from behind a 2JZ-GE

but thats not the worst of your troubles, the main problem will be that the engine will foul the clutch slave cylinder. you will most likely need to set up a remote unit. dont ask me how tho.

the steering box is a given that it will foul, find a TA23 or TT132 corona crossmember and it will give u a point to attach brackets for a rack and pinion steering set up. talk to an engineer about it tho.

an easier conversion will be a single turbo 1JZ

the twin turbo 1JZ also fits with steering box and clutch slave but u have to shave some meat off the rear turbo housing.

some more help on JZ sumps is here

hope this all helps. ive been researching a swap like this on and off for years. i have detailed pics of a TT 1JZ in a RA40 engine bay and that is the same size as the RA28 bay. i can email them if u like.

also some pics of a 1JZ in a RA23 here on norbies site

Having looked into a 1JZ/2JZ option myself, I would suggest that the single turbo 1JZ may even be more hassle than the twin turbo one. The single turbo is mounted VERY low, making it quite qide at the bottom - in my situation it would have fouled on the steering box. I'd suggest that (even though I don't care much for Celicas and have limited knowledge) an xA2x would be much the same.

Regarding a remove master cylinder, think! What vehicles have little room in front of the driver for a clutch master? VANS! They won't have firewalls!

I think you'll find that many vans will run a hydraulic cylinder above the pedal in the cabin. I'm sure this could be adapted without TOO much effort. Certainly less effort than making an engine-bay mounted one fit.

Super rip off.

I picked up a JZA80 6 speed cut for $6000 back in March from Rolin Imports.

I know for a fact that Rolin had an auto half cut for $3800 the other week.
