Best celica for a 1G-GTE Tue, 15 October 2002 05:32 Go to next message
I'm gonna be getting a Celica in a few months and want to drop a 1G-GTE into it after hearing a few good things about them.
I saw the page on this sight for putting a 1G-GTE into a RA60 and was wondering if it would be easier to put one into a RA65 being what i want to get. and if anyone knows any good sights on these engine conversions or good places to buy parts(Geelong/Melbourn) it would be a great help.

About the only difference between the two (as far as engine conversions go) is the RA65 is EFI from the factory, while the RA60 is not. This will make it slightly easier to sort out the fuel system, so the RA65 is the way to go.

I'd go for the RA65 anyway since it has IRS and many of them have the stronger F series diff, which will be a definite plus when you double the car's original power output!

Oh yeah, and the RA65 looks way better than the RA60 IMO.

norbie - you rekon many of the ra65's have the F diff.

which ones would that be.

I thought all would be the same, and I thought that meant 'T' diff.

The Stock RA-65's output is roughly an impressive figures of 87 KW which is better then its predecessor (SA63) with 73 KW. If you have any questions i reckon you should try and get in contact with Stefan, he owns an RA-65 so he can tell you the ins and outs of the car.

Good hunting for a decent RA65.

Cheers.

Most of the RA65's I've seen have had an F-series diff. That'd mean you could swap in a Mk2 Supra LSD too which is a bonus.

If your looking at this conversion i have the late mdl 1ggte in a soarer 1/2cut, with both sumps. one to suit the RA65. I also have the flywheel to make it manual. It comes with a SA63 to trial fit or even drive!

Looking for $2000 (no less)
engine
looms
sensors, mounts etc etc etc
intercooler and all pipes
auto box, flywheel for manual,

run's in half cut, with brakes etc in 1/2cut so its a very full package have to see the 1/2cut to belive how complete it is.

I'm in Melbourne south east subs

Sounds good, and if i had the car id definetly check it out. I'l have the Celica in about 3-4 months, and if ya still havent sold it il probably go check it out. Has anyone got any idear on how much the road worthy would be once its fully finnished?
