found a turbo engine but need help - Chri5 - 14-01-2018
right as some ppl may or may not know i recently bought the toyota altezza rs200 with the 3sge engine as found in the mr2/celica.
i have now found a celica gt4 thats been broken and the lad is willing to sell me the engine and shell so i have everything
moke:unfortunately this isnt a straight swap as 1st thought as my engine fits the other way round so things like sump, mounts, oil pick up etc are in the wrong place.
would anybody be able to take any of this work on to help me out???
i am willing to try doing it but its a bit far advanced for me as i can only change bits that dont need altering
or can anybody offer any advice for me???
thanx in advance
chris

oh i thought already having the 3sge engine in then it wouldnt be as much of an issue
fortunately my pockets are deep
but unfortunately theres a big hole in there

No mate, the engine is defferent with the way the oil squirters and other things work because its normally mounted the other way

I guess at least the electronics and some other bits are more setup for that engine. But you're taking a transverse engine and mounting it longitudinally as has been said.
ToyotaGT did the original work on 2tongues' car, and they thought it would be too difficult but even they found it was a lot more complex than they thought (and they specialise in that engine too).
