The 1GGTE seems to be the venerable choice for engine conversions. 1GGZE if you want that low down torque/drivability, but lets not get into another GTE vs GZE discussion.

Only problem I can see with the 1G is so many people have done it, its kind of becoming uninteresting if you are looking for something a bit more unique. Though one of many advantages i can see is so many people have done it so there will be tonnes of knowledge to draw from. I'm sure it will give you a shitload of fun for minimal outlay.

If you want something a bit cooler I reckon the 3SGTE would be perfect. Not a very common conversion, still a 4, and some nice potential. Like said above it would be a lot of work and money though.

The 1JZ has been done a few times but unless you want a pure straight line car, I don't think it would be the best option. Besides, if you just wanted a power/show car I'd be more inclined to go the 1UZ-FE, V8 celica just sounds nice! Smile


If you just want to give the old girl a kick in the pants, go the 1G. Straight forward to fit, cost effective, and it will still have potential to go further once you get used to it!
