Alternate '86 Swaps

I figured that if any group of Toyota fans would know about this subject and could point me out to some resources, it would be here.
Anybody down there done a 2TG or 18RG or 22R swap into an AE86? If so, any good websites about this?

Search is your option my friend. The Tech articles and FAQ would help too.

You need to have a very quick think about why the likelihood of these conversions is infinitely low.
They are silly ideas...

You can put anything in anything, but I'd have to wonder why you'd choose any of those engines. I agree, silly idea. 
If you want to try something unusual, how about a 3S-GTE swap? I hear that's really easy and cheap.

The closest swap to the ones you've listed that I know of was a 3T-GTE, that car was sold on here a while ago.
I have to say though none of those engines really float my boat. In Australia to get legal registration for an engine swap the engine needs to be at least as new or newer than the car that it is going into. This means you won't see many of these conversion in Australia. The other reason they don't get done down here is we have good access to real motors from Japan.
Sprinter swaps that I've seen that are more logicalthan these are:
- 4AGE
- 4AGZE/4AGTE
- 1GGTE
- 3SGTE
Possibly not more logical but dead sexy is the 1UZFE conversion getting around Melbourne I believe.

Well, I was rather bored when I posted. You're right, dumb question. Whether you're aware of it or not, you Aussies and Kiwis have a reputation in North America for interesting swaps with much much power.
Has anyone down there tried using a 1ZZGE or 2ZZGE engine in an AE86? Either of those seem ideal for the AE86. The 1ZZGE for turbo, the 2ZZGE for NA. I don't know of anyone in America or Canada doing it, to its down to you Aussies, the Kiwis, or the Japanese.
Wasn't the 1GGTE a straight six? We never got it, so I don't know much of anything about it. Is it more compact than a 6/7MGE?
Oh, and I've seen pics of that 1UZFE Levin on Club4AG. At the time the pics were posted, the car just had a the drivetrain done, and it handles like a lead-tipped arrow. Anyone in Vic have any news on that car?

How does it handle like a lead tipped arrow ? been in the car have you Seamus ? Go back to that worshiping web site club4ag .
Where you chat about stuff done hundreds of times around the world . Living in the past there for sure .
The car was built as a cruiser , does 100 of kls a day . It's track times first time out where really not that bad for a daily driven / not race car .
The same person you are referring too has started on the 2zzge? new celica engine in a ae86 by now i think . It will be another first over here .

i say do whatever it is that you want to do, without being rash and not listening to advice of others who know better
theres a lot of great engines out there that will fit, but half of them are probably too heavy or may be costly than other engines to produce basically the same result in the end
pick some engines first, say you like toyota and nissan for example.......do some research on the engines you like, power, torque, weight, size that is the main things, ok then you got it narrowed down a bit, so you start thinking of things like exhaust location, if its on the opposite side then you are going to need a whole new exhaust made up, which might not be a drama depending on your budget...
and then when you have it narrowed down, then ask questions, 22re in a ae86 is pretty silly mate you would of known that if you had done any research at all, dont expect to rely on opinions of other people to do all your work, if your gonna do that... just stick a 4agze and do what everyone else is doing, or do the bookwork and be respected!....enough said
